Configuring Inter-VRF Route Leaking

To view or edit the Inter-VRF Route Leaking for a BGP instance in a template or on a device:

  1. In the main menu of the Open Single Management Platform Console, go to the Application & Services → NGFW section.
  2. Edit BGP peer groups in one of the following ways:
    • If you want to view or edit Inter-VRF Route Leaking settings in a network template, in the menu, select the Network templates tab, click the network template, and select the Routing → BGP section.
    • If you want to view or edit Inter-VRF Route Leaking settings on a device, select the Devices tab, click the device, select the Routing → BGP section, and enable the Override toggle switch.
  3. Open an existing BGP instance by selecting it in the table and clicking the Edit button in the upper part of the table, or create a new BGP instance.
  4. In the settings area of the BGP instance, select the Route leaking tab.
  5. Configure route leaking between VRFs as necessary:
    • In the Route distinguisher field, specify the Route Distinguisher (RD) attribute for the route leaking (a unique ID for distinguishing routes). It can be specified in one of the two formats:
      • Autonomous system number (from 0 to 4294967295): ID (from 0 to 65535). Example: 100:65000.
      • IPv4 address: ID (from 0 to 65535) Example: 1.2.3.4:15.

      You can automatically generate the Route Distinguisher attribute by enabling the Auto-generate toggle switch (enabled by default).

    • Specify the Route Target settings for exporting and importing routes:
      • Under Route target export, add one or more Route Target (RT) values for exporting routes from the VRF of this BGP instance to other VRFs.
      • Under Route target import, add one or more Route Target (RT) values for importing routes to the VRF of this BGP instance from other VRFs.

      The individual values of the Route Target entries for the Route target export and Route target import settings must be entered in one of two formats:

      • Autonomous system number (from 0 to ‪4294967295‬): ID (from 0 to 65535). Example: 100:3000.
      • IPv4 address: ID (from 0 to 65535) Example: 6.6.6.6:77.
    • If you want to export routes from the VRF of this BGP instance, enable the Export routes toggle switch.
    • If you need to import routes into the VRF of this BGP instance, enable the Import routes toggle switch.
    • In the Export route map and Import route map drop-down lists, select previously created route maps for the exported and imported routes.
  6. Save the changes to the BGP instance.
