Chapter 27 IP Tunneling
Feature History for GRE Tunnel IP Source and Destination VRF Membership
The
tunnel vrf
command is used to configure the Tunnel VRF feature. The VRF specified in the
tunnel vrf
command is the same VRF as the VRF associated with the physical interface over which the
tunnel sends packets. This provides outer IP packet routing.
For more detailed information, see the
Generic Routing Encapsulation Tunnel IP Source and Destination
VRF Membership
feature module, located at the following URL:

VRF-Aware VPDN Tunnels
The VRF-Aware VPDN Tunnels feature allows you to create VPDN tunnels that use a customer VRF
address from a VRF routing table as the tunnel endpoint. The VPDN tunnel terminates in one VRF and
the associated PPP sessions terminate in a different VRF. For example, VPDN tunnels can start outside
the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPN and terminate within the MPLS VPN.
To configure VRF-Aware VPDN Tunnels, use the
vpn
command in VPDN configuration mode. This
command specifies that the source and destination IP addresses of a given VPDN group belong to the
specified VRF. Before you enter the
vpn
command, you must first create the VRF instance using the
ip
vrf
command. Different VRF-aware VPDN tunnels can have overlapping IP addresses across VRF
instances.
The
ip vrf forwarding
command, configured in tunnel interface mode, enables VRF forwarding on an
interface. The VRF associated with the tunnel in the
ip vrf forwarding
command configuration is the
VRF that the packets are to be forwarded in as the packets exit the tunnel. This provides inner IP packet
routing.
The Cisco 10000 series router supports the VRF-Aware VPDN Tunnels feature on the PRE2 and
PRE3and applies to the router when acting as the L2TP access concentrator (LAC) or a Layer 2 network
server (LNS). As a LAC or an LNS, the router can initiate and terminate tunnels within a specified VRF.
