MicroNugget: What is VRF Lite?

In this video, Anthony Sequeira covers using VRF Lite for segmenting and partitioning traffic at Layer 3. Segmenting traffic with virtual routing and forwarding tables in MPLS environments is one thing, but what about when you're not using MPLS? Anthony configures VRF Lite before your eyes.

VRF Lite makes it possible to take particular traffic and give it its own routing tables in the infrastructure, even when you're working in an environment without MPLS. That sort of Layer 3 segmentation can help keep a network environment with high risk devices secure. First hand, Anthony demonstrates how to configure your devices' custom routing tables. First, he creates the virtual routing and forwarding tables that'll get used. Then, he goes directly into the interfaces to have them participate in the VRFs. He establishes the IP addresses and maps the path for each VRF. He wraps up by configuring the addresses that go out to the internet, and then places each interface into their respective VRF environment. By following along, you'll learn how to replace a global routing table with custom made virtual routing tables and be one step closer to being prepared for the CCIE Routing and Switching.
