Troubleshooting EVN Configuration
Routing Context for EXEC Mode Reduces Repetitive VRF Specification
There may be occasions when you want to issue several EXEC commands to apply to a single virtual
network. In order to reduce the repetitive entering of virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) names for
multiple EXEC commands, the routing-context vrf command allows you to set the VRF context of such
EXEC commands once, and then proceed using EXEC commands.
The table below shows four EXEC commands in Cisco IOS XE software without routing context and in
routing context. Note that in the left column, each EXEC command must specify the VRF. In the right
column, the VRF context is specified once and the prompt changes to reflect that VRF; there is no need
to specify the VRF in each command.
traceroute Output Indicates VRF Name and VRF Tag
The output of the traceroute command is enhanced to make troubleshooting easier by displaying the
incoming VRF name/tag and the outgoing VRF name/tag, as shown in the following example:
Device# traceroute vrf red 10.0.10.12
Type escape sequence to abort.
