SYSLOG ("Duplicate prefix found %s in the target VRF %d", address, import_vrf_id) with The type/level is EVT_LOGWARNING. • The source routes always take precedence over leaked routes. The leaked routes are deleted as soon as routes are locally learnt by the VRF using other means. • For recovery, you must take appropriate action either by deleting the unwanted prefixes or issuing clear command or both. • In the target VRF, you cannot leak routes that are imported through the route leaking feature. • The leaked route points to the next-hop of the source routes. You cannot do any modifications to the next-hop of the leaked route in the destination VRF. • IPv6 link local routes will never be leaked from one VRF to another. Configuring Route Leaking with Filtering When you initalize route leaking from one VRF to another, all the routes are exposed to the target VRF. If the size of the source VRF's RTM is considerablly large, an import operation results in the duplication of the target VRF's RTM with the source RTM entries. To mitigate this issue, you can use route-maps to filter the routes that are exported and imported into the route targets based on certain matching criteria. These match criteria include, prefix matches and portocol matches. You can use the match source-protocol or match ip-address commands to specify matching criteria for importing or exporting routes between VRFs. NOTE: You must use the match source-protocol or match ip-address commands in conjunction with the route-map command to be able to define the match criteria for route leaking. Consider a scenario where you have created two VRF tables VRF-red and VRF-blue. VRF-red exports routes with the export_ospfbgp_protocol route-map to VRF-blue. VRF-blue imports these routes into its RTM. For leaking these routes from VRF-red to VRF-blue, you can use the ip route-export route-map command on VRF-red (source VRF, that is exporting the routes); you must also specify a match criteria for these routes using the match source-protocol command. When you leak these routes into VRF-blue, only the routes (OSPF and BGP) that satisfy the matching criteria defined in route-map export_ospfbgp_protocol are exposed to VRF-blue. While importing these routes into VRF-blue, you can further specify match conditions at the import end to define the filtering criteria based on which the routes are imported into VRF-blue. You can define a route-map import_ospf_protocol and then specify the match criteria as OSPF using the match source-protocol ospf command. You can then use the ip route-import route-map command to import routes matching the filtering criteria defined in the import_ospf_protocol route-map. For a reply communication, VRF-blue is configured with a route-export tag. This value is then configured as route-import tag on the VRF-Red. To configure route leaking using filtering criteria, perform the following steps: 1 Configure VRF-red: ip vrf vrf-red interface-type slot/port ip vrf forwarding VRF-red Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) 1039
