Operating the SD-AVC Network Service with Host Interface Attached to a VRF
In specific use cases, it may be necessary to operate the SD-AVC Network Service on a host device on which the host interface that is used by SD-AVC as its gateway interface may be attached to a VRF. In this case, the typical installation command described in Installing the SD-AVC Network Service cannot be used, and manual configuration is required, using the following guidelines:
-
Ensure that the virtual port group and gateway interface(s) are not on the same subnet.
-
Assign the virtual port group and gateway interface(s) to a VRF.
-
Ensure that the IP address of the SD-AVC network service (guest IP in the configuration steps below) is on the virtual port group subnet.
Example:
ip vrf Mgt ! interface VirtualPortGroup31 ip vrf forwarding Mgt ip address 10.56.197.221 255.255.255.0 ! interface GigabitEthernet1 ip vrf forwarding Mgt ip address 10.56.196.169 255.255.255.0 ! virtual-service SDAVC vnic gateway VirtualPortGroup31 guest ip address 10.56.197.222 activate !
