Inter-VRF Routing over VRF Lite
################################
**Virtual Routing and Forwarding** is a technology that allow multiple instance
of a routing table to exist within a single device. One of the key aspect of
**VRFs** is that do not share the same routes or interfaces, therefore packets
are forwarded between interfaces that belong to the same VRF only.
Any information related to a VRF is not exchanged between devices -or in the
same device- by default, this is a technique called **VRF-Lite**.
Keep networks isolated is -in general- a good principle, but there are cases
where you might need that some network can access other in a different VRF.
The scope of this document is to cover such cases in a dynamic way without the
use of MPLS-LDP.
General information about L3VPNs can be found in the :ref:`configuration/vrf/index:L3VPN VRFs` chapter.
********
Overview
********
Let’s say we have a requirement to have multiple networks.
* LAN 1
* LAN 2
* Management
* Internet
Both LANs have to be able to route between each other, both will have managed
devices through a dedicated management network and both will need Internet
access yet the LAN2 will need access to some set of outside networks, not all.
The management network will need access to both LANs but cannot have access
to/from the outside.
This scenario could be a nightmare applying regular routing and might need
filtering in multiple interfaces.
A simple solution could be using different routing tables, or VRFs
for all the networks so we can keep the routing restrictions.
But for us to route between the different VRFs we would need a cable or a
logical connection between each other:
* One cable/logical connection between LAN1 and LAN2
* One cable/logical connection between LAN1 and Internet
* One cable/logical connection between LAN2 and Internet
* One cable/logical connection between LAN1 and Management
* One cable/logical connection between LAN2 and Management
As we can see this is unpractical.
To address this scenario we will use to our advantage an extension of the BGP
routing protocol that will help us in the “Export” between VRFs without the
need for MPLS.
MP-BGP or MultiProtocol BGP introduces two main concepts to solve this
limitation:
- Route Distinguisher (RD): Is used to distinguish between different VRFs
–called VPNs- inside the BGP Process. The RD is appended to each IPv4 Network
that is advertised into BGP for that VPN making it a unique VPNv4 route.
- Route Target (RT): This is an extended BGP community append to the VPNv4 route
in the Import/Export process. When a route passes from the VRF routing table
into the BGP process it will add the configured export extended community(ies)
for that VPN. When that route needs to go from BGP into the VRF routing table
will only pass if that given VPN import policy matches any of the appended
community(ies) into that prefix.

Configurations
**************
.. note:: We use a static route configuration in between the Core and each
LAN and Management router, and BGP between the Core router and the ISP router
but any dynamic routing protocol can be used.
Remote Networks
===============
The following template configuration can be used in each remote router based
in our topology.
.. code-block:: none
# Interface Configuration
set interface eth eth<N> address <IP ADDRESS/CIDR>
# Static default route back to Core
set procotols static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop <CORE IP ADDRESS>
Core Router
===========
Step 1: VRF and Configurations to remote networks
-------------------------------------------------
- Configuration
Set the VRF name and Table ID, set interface address and bind it to the VRF.
Last add the static route to the remote network.
.. code-block:: none
# VRF name and table ID (MANDATORY)
set vrf name <VRF> table <ID>
# Interface Configuration
set interface eth eth<N> address <IP ADDRESS/CIDR>
# Assign interface to VRF
set interface eth eth<N> vrf <VRF>
# Static route to remote Network
set vrf name <VRF> protocols static route <NETWORK/CIDR> next-hop <REMOTE IP ADDRESS>
- Verification
Checking the routing table of the VRF should reveal both static and connected
entries active. A PING test between the Core and remote router is a way to
validate connectivity within the VRF.
.. code-block:: none

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.925/1.665/3.035/0.969 ms
Step 2: BGP Configuration for VRF-Lite
--------------------------------------
- Configuration
Setting BGP global local-as as well inside the VRF. Redistribute static routes
to inject configured networks into the BGP process but still inside the VRF.
.. code-block:: none
# set BGP global local-as
set protocols bgp system-as <ASN>
# set BGP VRF local-as and redistribution
set vrf name <VRF> protocols bgp system-as <ASN>
set vrf name <VRF> protocols bgp address-family <AF IPv4/IPv6> redistribute static
- Verification
Check the BGP VRF table and verify if the static routes are injected showing
the correct next-hop information.
.. code-block:: none
# show ip bgp vrf <VRF>
# show bgp vrf <VRF> ipv6
vyos@Core:~$ show ip bgp vrf LAN1

Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
*> 2001:db8:0:1::/64
2001:db8::1 0 32768 ?
Step 3: VPN Configuration
-------------------------
- Configuration
Within the VRF we set the Route-Distinguisher (RD) and Route-Targets (RT), then
we enable the export/import VPN.
.. code-block:: none
# set Route-distinguisher
set vrf name <VRF> protocols bgp address-family <AF IPv4/IPv6> rd vpn export '<RD>'
# set route-target for import/export
# Note: RT are a list that can be more than one community between apostrophe
# and separated by blank space. Ex: '<RT:1> <RT:2> <RT:3>'
set vrf name <VRF> protocols bgp address-family <AF IPv4/IPv6> route-target vpn export '<RT:Export>'
set vrf name <VRF> protocols bgp address-family <AF IPv4/IPv6> route-target vpn import '<RT:Import>'
# Enable VPN export/import under this VRF
set vrf name <VRF> protocols bgp address-family <AF IPv4/IPv6> export vpn
set vrf name <VRF> protocols bgp address-family <AF IPv4/IPv6> import vpn
A key point to understand is that if we need two VRFs to communicate between
each other EXPORT rt from VRF1 has to be in the IMPORT rt list from VRF2. But
this is only in ONE direction, to complete the communication the EXPORT rt from
VRF2 has to be in the IMPORT rt list from VRF1.
There are some cases where this is not needed -for example, in some
DDoS appliance- but most inter-vrf routing designs use the above configurations.
- Verification
After configured all the VRFs involved in this topology we take a deeper look
at both BGP and Routing table for the VRF LAN1
.. code-block:: none
# show ip bgp vrf <VRF>
# show bgp vrf <VRF> ipv6
vyos@Core# run show ip bgp vrf LAN1

As we can see in the BGP table any imported route has been injected with a "@"
followed by the VPN id; In the routing table of the VRF, if the route was
installed, we can see -between round brackets- the exported VRF table.
Step 4: End to End verification

Conclusions
***********
Inter-VRF routing is a well-known solution to address complex routing scenarios
that enable -in a dynamic way- to leak routes between VRFs. Is recommended to
take special consideration while designing route-targets and its application as
it can minimize future interventions while creating a new VRF will automatically
take the desired effect in its propagation.

Route-Filtering
===============
When importing routes using MP-BGP it is possible to filter a subset of them
before are injected in the BGP table. One of the most common case is to use a
route-map with an prefix-list.
- Configuration
We create a prefix-list first and add all the routes we need to.
.. code-block:: none
# set both ipv4 and ipv6 policies
set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 1 action 'permit'
set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 1 le '24'
set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 1 prefix '198.51.0.0/16'
set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 2 action 'permit'
set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 2 prefix '192.0.2.0/24'
set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 3 action 'permit'
set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 3 prefix '192.168.0.0/24'
set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 4 action 'permit'
set policy prefix-list LAN2-Internet rule 4 prefix '10.0.0.0/24'
set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 1 action 'permit'
set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 1 prefix '2001:db8:1::/48'
set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 2 action 'permit'
set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 2 prefix '2001:db8:2::/48'
set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 3 action 'permit'
set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 3 prefix '2001:db8:0:3::/64'
set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 4 action 'permit'
set policy prefix-list6 LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 4 prefix '2001:db8:0:1::/64'
Then add a route-map and reference to above prefix. Consider that the actions
taken inside the prefix will MATCH the routes that will be affected by the
actions inside the rules of the route-map.
.. code-block:: none
set policy route-map LAN2-Internet rule 1 action 'permit'
set policy route-map LAN2-Internet rule 1 match ip address prefix-list 'LAN2-Internet'
set policy route-map LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 1 action 'permit'
set policy route-map LAN2-Internet-v6 rule 1 match ipv6 address prefix-list 'LAN2-Internet-v6'
We are using a "white list" approach by allowing only what is necessary. In case
that need to implement a "black list" approach then you will need to change the
action in the route-map for a deny BUT you need to add a rule that permits the
rest due to the implicit deny in the route-map.
Then we need to attach the policy to the BGP process. This needs to be under
the import statement in the vrf we need to filter.
.. code-block:: none
set vrf name LAN2 protocols bgp address-family ipv4-unicast route-map vpn import 'LAN2-Internet'
set vrf name LAN2 protocols bgp address-family ipv6-unicast route-map vpn import 'LAN2-Internet-v6'
- Verification
.. code-block:: none
# show ip route vrf LAN2
B>* 10.0.0.0/24 [20/0] via 10.1.1.2, eth0 (vrf LAN1), weight 1, 00:45:28
S>* 172.16.0.0/24 [1/0] via 172.16.2.2, eth1, weight 1, 00:45:32

# show ipv6 route vrf LAN2

B>* 2001:db8:0:1::/64 [20/0] via 2001:db8::1, eth0 (vrf LAN1), weight 1, 00:46:17
S>* 2001:db8:0:2::/64 [1/0] via 2001:db8::3, eth1, weight 1, 00:46:21
B>* 2001:db8:0:3::/64 [20/0] via 2001:db8::5, eth2 (vrf Managment), weight 1, 00:46:16
B>* 2001:db8:1::/48 [20/0] via fe80::5200:ff:fe02:3, eth3 (vrf Internet), weight 1, 00:46:13
B>* 2001:db8:2::/48 [20/0] via fe80::5200:ff:fe02:3, eth3 (vrf Internet), weight 1, 00:46:13
C>* fe80::/64 is directly connected, eth1, 00:46:27
As we can see even if both VRF LAN1 and LAN2 has the same import RTs we are able
to select which routes are effectively imported and installed.
