Réf. : [nv-l] Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)
2005-11-07 10:58:06
Well, the question is where do you plan
to put Netview,
and what do you want to manage? I mean,
is Netview on a LAN which
is itself in a VRF, or is it in a LAN
which is in the Global Routing table?
If you want to manage several VRF, it
may be a good ideas to create a
special "management vrf" which
imports the route of all the VRF you want
to manage. On the other side, you need
to export also the routes of this
"management vrf" to all other
vrf's. You place then Netview in a LAN which is
in this "management VRF".
Netview is not "aware" of VRF in the routers, you
don't get, by default, any special maps,
by vrf, etc. But at least you can manage
all the PE and CE of your network.
If you need also to manage the backbone,
you need also to connect in a way
this "management vrf" to the
Global Routing table. There are tricks to do that, but
all this depends of your design: routing
protocols used, etc.
Regarding technical papers, I
highly recommends all Jim Guichard books on the subjet
of MPLS VPN. There are 3, all published
by Cisco Press.
