Verifying a Multi-VRF Configuration

The following examples illustrate the use of a variety of show commands that are useful in verifying Multi-VRF configurations.

To verify all configured VRFs in summary mode, enter the show vrf command, as in the following example.

device# show vrf
Total number of VRFs configured: 2
Status Codes - A:active, D:pending deletion, I:inactive
Name Default RD vrf|v4|v6 Routes Interfaces
green 1:1 A | A| A 12 ve111 ve211 ve311*
red 10:12 A | A| A 4 ve1117 port-id tn1*
Total number of IPv4 unicast route for all non-default VRF is 8
Total number of IPv6 unicast route for all non-default VRF is 8

To verify a specific VRF in detail mode, enter the show vrf vrf-name command, as in the following example.

device# show vrf green
VRF green, default RD 1:1, Table ID 1
IP Router-Id: 1.1.1.1
Interfaces: ve111 ve211 ve311 ve1116 ve2115
Address Family IPv4
Max Routes: 5500
Number of Unicast Routes: 6
Address Family IPv6
Max Routes: 400
Number of Unicast Routes: 6

To verify all configured VRFs in detail mode, enter the show vrf detail command, as in the following example.

device# show vrf detail
Total number of VRFs configured: 2
VRF green, default RD 1:1, Table ID 1
IP Router-Id: 1.1.1.1
Interfaces: Use "show vrf green" to see the list of interfaces
Address Family IPv4
Max Routes: 5500
Number of Unicast Routes: 6
Address Family IPv6
Max Routes: 400
Number of Unicast Routes: 6
VRF red, default RD 10:12, Table ID 2
IP Router-Id: 1.1.17.1
Interfaces:
Use "show vrf red" to see the list of interfaces
Address Family IPv4
Max Routes: 300
Number of Unicast Routes: 2
Address Family IPv6
Max Routes: 70
Number of Unicast Routes: 2
Total number of IPv4 unicast route for all non-default VRF is 8
Total number of IPv6 unicast route for all non-default VRF is 8

The commands in the following table display additional information about a specific application, protocol configuration, or protocol state for both the default VRF and user-defined VRFs.
