Hello!

Can someone point me to a good link on vrf? What it does and how to implement it.

Thanks,

Brent

That is a large subject as it covers a lot of MPLS. Attached is a link to vrf-lite configuration on 4500. Vrf-lite is not full MPLS but it does give you an idea of how VRF's work and how to configure -

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/12.2/25sg/configuration/guide/vrf.html

Also here is the start page for all things MPLS on Cisco site -

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk436/tk428/tsd_technology_support_protocol_home.html

Finally there are a number of design docs that Cisco produce that explain the concepts behind vrf's. One that i have found useful is this one -

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Network_Virtualization/PathIsol.html

This should get you started :-)

That last link is extremely useful. I've been on it for the past half hour and have learned a ton. Thanks.
