Packet Flow in a Virtual Network
The packet flow from Laptop 1 to Server 1 in VRF red occurs as follows:
1.
Laptop 1 send an untagged packet to Server 1.
2.
Device A receives the packet over an edge interface, which is associated with VRF red.
a.
Device A does route lookup in VRF red and sees that the next hop is Device B through a trunk
interface.
b.
Device A encapsulates the packet with VRF red’s tag (101) and sends it over the trunk interface.
3.
Device B receives the packet over a trunk interface. Seeing virtual network tag 101, Device B
identifies that the packet belongs to VRF red.
a.
Device B does route lookup in VRF red and sees that the next hop is Device C through a trunk
interface.
b.
Device B encapsulates the packet with VRF red’s tag (101) and sends it over the trunk interface.
4.
Device C receives the packet over a trunk interface. Using virtual network tag 101, Device C
identifies that the packet belongs to VRF red.
a.
Device C does route lookup in VRF red and sees that the next hop is Device D through a trunk
interface.
b.
Device C encapsulates the packet with VRF red’s tag (101) and sends it over the trunk interface.
5.
Device D receives the packet over a trunk interface. Using virtual network tag 101, Device D
identifies that the packet belongs to VRF red.
a.
Device D does route lookup in VRF red and sees that the next hop is through an edge interface.
b.
Device D sends the untagged packet over the edge interface to Server 1.
6.
Server 1 receives the untagged packet originated from Laptop 1.
