MPLS VPN—Show Running VRF

---

First Published: March 16, 2006

Last Updated: August 6, 2007

The MPLS VPN—Show Running VRF feature provides a Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) option to display a subset of the running configuration on a router that is linked to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing and forwarding (VRF) instance. You can display the configuration of a specific VRF or of all VRFs configured on a router.

On heavily loaded routers, the display of the configuration file might require several pages or screens. As the configuration increases in size and complexity, the possibility of misconfiguration also increases. You might find it difficult to trace a problem on a router where you have several VRFs configured. A command that displays all the elements of the configuration linked to a VRF allows for easier troubleshooting on a per-VRF basis and facilitates comparisons among configurations of different VRFs on the same router.

Prerequisites for MPLS VPN—Show Running VRF

•A Cisco IOS image that supports VRFs installed on the router

•At least one VRF configured on the router

•Cisco Express Forwarding is required for MPLS VPN routing and forwarding.

Restrictions for MPLS VPN—Show Running VRF

Any element of the running configuration of the router that is not linked directly to a VRF is not displayed. For example, a route map associated with a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) neighbor in a VRF address-family configuration is not displayed. The VRF address-family configuration under BGP is displayed, but the route-map configuration is not. An exception to this general rule is the display of a controller configuration (for more information, see the "Display of Configuration Not Directly Linked to a VRF" section).

Information About MPLS VPN—Show Running VRF

Before using the MPLS VPN—Show Running VRF feature, you should understand the following information:

•Configuration Elements Displayed for the MPLS VPN—Show Running VRF Feature

•Display of VRF Routing Protocol Configuration

•Display of Configuration Not Directly Linked to a VRF

Configuration Elements Displayed for the MPLS VPN—Show Running VRF Feature

You can display the running configuration associated with a specific VRF or all VRFs on the router by entering the show running-config vrf command. To display the running configuration of a specific VRF, enter the name of the VRF as an argument to the show running-config vrf command. For example, for a VRF named vpn3, you enter:

Router# show running-config vrf vpn3

The show running-config vrf command displays the following elements of the running configuration on a router:

•The VRF configuration

This includes any configuration that is applied in the VRF submode.

•The configuration of each interface in the VRF

Entering a show run vrf vpn-name command is the same as executing a show running-config interface type number for each interface that you display by use of the show ip vrf vpn-name command. The interfaces display in the same sorted order that you would expect from the show ip interface command.

For a channelized interface, the configuration of the controller is displayed (as shown by the show run controller controller-name command).

For a subinterface, the configuration of the main interface is displayed.

•The configuration of routing-protocol address-families or processes that are linked with the VRF, including static routing configuration (see the "Display of VRF Routing Protocol Configuration" section.

Display of VRF Routing Protocol Configuration

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and static routing are routing protocols that support VRF configuration.

OSPF has one process per VRF. The show running-config vrf command display includes the complete configuration of any OSPF process associated with the VRF. For example, the following shows the sample display for OSPF process 101, which is associated with the VRF named vpn3:

router ospf 101 vrf vpn3

 log-adjacency-changes

 area 1 sham-link 10.43.43.43 10.23.23.23 cost 10

 network 172.17.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 1

RIP, BGP, and EIGRP support VRF address-family configuration. If a VRF address family for the VRF exists for any of these routing protocols, a configuration in the following format is displayed:

router protocol {AS | PID}

!

address-family ipv4 vrf vrf-name

.

.

.

Where the protocol argument is one of the following: rip, bgp or eigrp; the AS argument is an autonomous system number; the PID argument is a process identifier; and the vrf-name argument is the name of the associated VRF.

The following shows a sample display for a BGP with autonomous system number 100 associated with a VRF named vpn3:

!

router bgp 100

!

address-family ipv4 vrf vpn3

 redistribute connected

 redistribute ospf 101 match external 1 external 2

 no auto-summary

 no synchronization

 exit-address-family

 !

The show running-config vrf command also includes the configuration of any static routes configured in the VRF. For example:

ip route vrf vpn1 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.30.1.1 global 

ip route vrf vpn1 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.125.1.2 

Display of Configuration Not Directly Linked to a VRF

Any element of the configuration that is not linked directly to a VRF is not displayed. In some instances, the display of the configuration of an element that is not directly linked to a VRF is required.

For example, the show running-config vrf command displays the configuration of an E1 controller whose serial subinterfaces are in a VRF. The command displays the controller configuration and the subinterface configuration.

12.2(33)SXH	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH.

Usage Guidelines

The show policy-map interface brief command displays the name of the active policy maps and the interfaces to which those policy maps are attached. An active policy map is one that is attached to an interface.

The optional keywords and arguments allow you to tailor the information displayed about VPNs, time stamps, and user IDs.

If you do not specify any optional keywords or arguments, all policy maps (even those that are not active) are displayed.

VPN Information Reported

The show policy-map interface brief command can be used for VRF interfaces in applications that use VPNs. To specify VRF interfaces, use the vrf keyword with the vrf-id argument.

Time-stamp and User ID Information Reported

If the optional timestamp keyword is used with the show policy-map interface brief command, the time and date when a policy map was attached to an interface appear in the display. In addition to the time and date information, the name (that is, the user ID) of the person who attached the policy map to the interface will also be displayed.

---

Note If the network software is reloaded (reinstalled), the time-stamp information (the time and date information) obtained will not be retained for any of the policy maps attached to interfaces on the network. Instead, the time and date information displayed will be the time and date when the software was reloaded.

---

Method for Obtaining User Information

The user information included in the display is obtained from the information that you enter when you log in to the router. For example, if you are using the SSH Secure Shell utility to log in to a router, you would typically enter your username and password. However, it is not always possible to obtain the user information. Instances where user information cannot be obtained include the following:

•Not all routers require user information when you log in. Therefore, you may not be prompted to enter your username when you log in to a router.

•If you are connecting to a console port using the Telnet utility in a DOS environment, you do not need to enter user information.

•The user information cannot be retrieved because of system constraints or other factors.

If the user information cannot be obtained, the words "by unknown" will be displayed.

Hierarchical Policy Map Information

For a hierarchical policy map structure, only the information about the parent policy maps is displayed. Information about child policy maps is not displayed.

ATM PVCs

For ATM permanent virtual circuits (PVCs), policy maps do not remain associated with the interface if the ATM PVC is not working properly (that is, the ATM PVC is "down"). Therefore, if an ATM PVC is down, and a policy map is attached to an interface, the show policy-map interface brief command does not include information about the policy maps in the command output.

Examples

The information that is displayed by the show policy-map interface brief command varies according to the optional keywords and arguments that you specify.

The following sections list the significant keyword and argument combinations used with the command and describe the corresponding information displayed.

In some network configurations, the policy map may be attached to the interface initially, and then at a later time, the interface can be configured to act as a VRF interface. In this kind of network configuration, the time-stamp information displays the time when the policy map was attached to the interface. The display does not include the time when the interface was configured to act as a VRF interface. Displaying only the time when the policy map is attached to the interface also applies to the scenarios that are described in the following paragraph for other network configurations.

In other network configurations, a VRF may be attached to multiple interfaces as described in the following scenarios:

•The policy map is also attached to both the interfaces and the VRFs. In this network configuration, all the interfaces should be shown in the display for the VRF, under the policy map name, as follows:

Service-policy input: policyname1

VRF1 interface s2/0/1 - applied 21:47:37 on 23/12/01 by user1

     interface atm0/0 - applied 11:37:57 on 21/11/01 by user1

•The policy map is not attached to all interfaces to which the specific VRF is attached. In this network configuration, only the VRF interfaces that have that policy map configured are displayed.

show policy-map interface brief policy-map-name vrf timestamp Command Example

The show policy-map interface brief policy-map-name vrf timestamp command displays the policy maps attached as either an input policy map or an output policy map, along with information about the interface and VRF to which the policy map is attached.

Glossary

BGP—Border Gateway Protocol. An interdomain routing protocol that replaces External Gateway Protocol (EGP). BGP systems exchange reachability information with other BGP systems. BGP is defined by RFC 1163.

EGP—External Gateway Protocol. An internet protocol for exchanging routing information between autonomous systems. EGP is documented in RFC 904. Not to be confused with the general term exterior gateway protocol. EGP is an obsolete protocol that was replaced by Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

EIGRP—Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol. Advanced version of Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) developed by Cisco. Provides superior convergence properties and operating efficiency, and combines the advantages of link state protocols with those of distance vector protocols.

IGP—Interior Gateway Protocol. An internet protocol used to exchange routing information within an autonomous system. Examples of common Internet IGPs include Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Routing Information Protocol (RIP).

IGRP—Interior Gateway Routing Protocol. An Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) developed by Cisco to address the issues associated with routing in large, heterogeneous networks.

MPLS—Multiprotocol Label Switching. A switching method that forwards IP traffic through the use of a label. This label instructs the routers and the switches in the network where to forward each packet based on preestablished IP routing information.

OSPF—Open Shortest Path First. A link-state, hierarchical, Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) routing algorithm and routing protocol proposed as a successor to Routing Information Protocol (RIP) in the Internet community. OSPF features include least-cost routing, multipath routing, and load balancing. OSPF was derived from an early version of the Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol.

RIP—Routing Information Protocol. Internal Gateway Protocol (IGP) supplied with UNIX Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) systems. RIP is the most common IGP in the Internet. It uses hop count as a routing metric.

VPN—Virtual Private Network. The result of a router configuration that enables IP traffic to use tunneling to travel securely over a public TCP/IP network.

VRF—A Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing and forwarding instance. A VRF consists of an IP routing table, a derived forwarding table, a set of interfaces that use the forwarding table, and a set of rules and routing protocols that determine what goes into the forwarding table. In general, a VRF includes the routing information that defines a customer VPN site that is attached to a provider edge (PE) router.
