Hi All,
We're using RT 0.20.4. In our network we have more than 1700 routers. All
of them al documented within RT.
At some point we wanted to document as well the VRFs that reside inside
some of those. Documenting VRFs is important since each of those have as
well interfaces and IP addresses and we're also taking care of the VPNs.
In order to do so, we did the following:
1) Create the VRF object
Main page : Configuration : Dictionary : Chapter 'ObjectType'
2) Once the object is created when then made a child of the type Router
Main page : Configuration : Object container compatibility
3) Once the object is created and assigned a parent, we created the
attributes RouteTarget (RT) and RouteDistinguisher (RD) and assigned those
to the newly created VRF object
Main page : Configuration : Attributes
4) We also allowed IP addresses to be included inside the VRFs. Just add
the object id to the parameter IPV4OBJ_LISTSRC inside the configuration.
Main page : Configuration : User interface
5) Once you create a new VRF then you need to select who is its parent. To
do so, you need to go the object's properties tab, and select the
appropriate container.
So, this mail was not written to ask any question or something, just wanted
to share with you something that might be helpful and is certainly making
our life easier. In any case, if you have a better approach, please share
it with us.
Regards,
Lucas
