Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) allows multiple independent instances
of the forwarding plane to exist simultaneously. (The terms VRF, VRF
instance, and virtual forwarding instance all refer to the same thing.) VRF
allows the administrator to segment the network without incurring the costs
of multiple routers. Each VRF instance operates as an independent VPN. The
IP addresses assigned to each VPN may overlap. Static route leaking to and
from the global instance is supported. Configuration of static route leaking
among non-default VRFs results in undefined behavior.
VRF-associated VLANs may not overlap with other VRF instances.
VRF is supported on Dell EMC Networking N3000-ON, N3100-ON, and
N3200-ON Series switches. In addition to the default global instances, the
following number of VRFs are supported.
The following capabilities are supported for VRFs:
Static routing (including route leaking)
OSPF
OSPVv3
ARP
Ping
VRRP
Trace route
DHCP relay (IP helper)
NDP
Loopback
BFD
NOTE: This feature is not available on Dell EMC Networking N1100-ON, N1500,
