I've verified if it was possible to configure on
the MSFC IOS ; the command "ip vrf forwarding" on a vlan interface.
the platform is a SUP1 MSFC2 with 128MRAM.
In June 2002, I remember I was able to configure it on the MSFC, I found the config and it was with c6msfc-psv-mz.121-11b.E3.
Unfortunately this release is deffered and replaced.
I decided to load the latest Service Provider 12.1E release on the MSFC :
c6msfc2-psv-mz.121-19.E1.bin
On the Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.1 E on the Catalyst 6500 and Cisco 7600 MSFC,
I found "Release 12.1E is an early deployment (ED) release based on Release 12.1. All features and functionality in Release 12.1(19) and in earlier 12.1E releases are in Release 12.1(19)E1."
I tried to configure
...
!
ip vrf Customer1
rd 21778:112
route-target export 21778:10001
route-target import 21778:10001
!
interface Vlan101
ip vrf forwarding Customer1
no ip address
shutdown
...
But the command "ip vrf forwarding Customer1" was refused :
router(config-if)#ip vrf forwarding Customer1
%This interface does not support ip vrf forwarding
I decied to downgrade to the latest 121-11b release :c6msfc2-psv-mz.121-11b.E12.bin
and the configuration was accepted.
My questions are :
Q1:The command "ip vrf forwarding" is offically removed on the releases 12.1(19)E ?
Q2:The command "ip vrf forwarding" is only supported on VLAN interface only on release 121-11b.E ?
Thank you in advance,
Stephane
