Creating a virtual routing and forwarding table

You can create a virtual routing and forwarding table in a CPE template or on a device. When you create a virtual routing and forwarding table in a CPE template, the table is automatically created on all devices that are using the template.

To create a virtual routing and forwarding table:

1. Create a virtual routing and forwarding table in one of the following ways:
   • If you want to create a virtual routing and forwarding table in a CPE template, go to the SD-WAN → CPE templates menu section, click the template and in the displayed settings area, select the VRF tab.
   • If you want to create a virtual routing and forwarding table on a CPE device, go to the SD-WAN → CPE menu section, click the device and in the displayed settings area, select the VRF tab.

   The table of virtual routing and forwarding tables is displayed.

2. Click + VRF.
3. This opens a window; in that window, in the Name field, enter the name of the virtual routing and forwarding table.
4. In the Table field, enter the ID of the virtual routing and forwarding table. Range of values: 100 to 199.
5. In the Interfaces drop-down list, select previously created network interfaces that you want to add to the virtual routing and forwarding table. You cannot add the same network interface to multiple virtual routing and forwarding tables.

   If you are adding a network interface with a name in the 'overlay.<number>' format (for example, 'overlay.100') to the virtual routing and forwarding table, you must select the Enable automatically and Force IP, route, and gateway check boxes when creating or editing the network interface.

6. Click Create.

   The virtual routing and forwarding table is created and displayed in the table.

7. In the upper part of the settings area, click Save to save the settings of the CPE template or device.
