Information About EIGRP OTP VRF Support
Overview of EIGRP OTP VRF Support
The EIGRP Over the Top is a WAN solution with EIGRP in control plane and LISP in data plane, in which route distribution between two EIGRP customer-edge devices is performed using EIGRP protocol. LISP encapsulates the data that is sent over WAN. To support VRF functionality, the routes from each VRF must be carried over the control plane and installed in the correct VRF tables in the CE devices and EIGRP Route Reflector (E-RR).
How EIGRP OTP VRF Support Works
A CE device supports multiple VRFs on a LAN. On a WAN, the WAN interface in the default VRF and the CE device forms a remote EIGRP neighborship with another CE or E-RR device. The neighbors are formed in a single EIGRP process. One EIGRP process handles multiple, distinct neighbor formations in various VRFs on the LAN side and at the same time, also forms a neighbor on the WAN side with an OTP peer. The receiving peer picks routes that are applicable for the topologies that are present on the receiving peer. Routes from any other topologies are dropped.
Various routes learnt from peers in different VRFs are updated in the respective topologies on the CE and are transported to the OTP peer with the topology information for each route. Each topology represents a configured VRF on the device.
Each topology is associated with a unique ID, called the TID (Topology ID). The TID identifies the topology across various remote customer sites as the VRF name could be different on each CE device. For the CE devices to exchange the right information, the TID must be the same on all CEs.
The LISP Id (LISP Instance ID) also is mapped to a VRF and TID. As LISP carries different VRF packets using different virtual LISP interfaces, the LISP ID per VRF must be unique and must be same across the CE devices for packet delivery.
Use the topology command to configure a unique topology ID on customer site.
Data Encapsulation
Data encapsulation is achieved using LISP and is configured using the same topology command. Each VRF is associated with a LISP virtual interface. Data packets from one VRF will be encapsulated between the CE devices per VRF.
Each CE device is the edge device for a customer site, having various VRFs in a network. When customer sites connect via EIGRP OTP, each CE device is a neighbor to another CE device. In case of E-RR deployment, the CE s neighbors with the E-RR. The routes in a VRF in one customer site are carried to its peer and updated in the appropriate peer VRF table. If routes are received from a particular topology is absent in a peer, the peer drops the routes.
The E-RR reflects all topologies that are configured on the E-RR. Routes from topologies that are absent on the E-RR are not reflected. This is the reason that the E-RR is expected to have a super set of all VRFs present in the network.
Interfaces and Topology Command
When the topology command is used, all the interfaces under that VRF are enabled with EIGRP, thereby forming neighbors on all interfaces under a VRF. However, there may be interfaces on which EIGRP should not be enabled. To disable the formation of peers on such interfaces, use the topo-interface command and disable the interface on which EIGRP must not be enabled via passive-interface command.
Differences between EIGRP OTP Feature and EIGRP OTP VRF Support Feature
EIGRP OTP Feature |
EIGRP OTP VRF Support Feature |
---|---|
Supports the default VRF only. |
Multiple VRFs can be configured. Each VRF is considered as a topology and the topology related information is carried across associated with a TID (topology ID). |
Neighbors are formed on only those interfaces that are configured with the network command. |
Neighbors are formed across all interfaces in a particular VRF configured with the topology command. |
The network command is required on the WAN interface to form an OTP neighbor. |
The network command is not required. |
How to Configure EIGRP OTP VRF Support
Configuring EIGRP OTP VRF Support on a CE Device
You must enable the EIGRP OTP VRF Support feature on all customer edge (CE) devices in the network so that the CEs know how to reach the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) Route Reflector configured in the network. Perform the following task to configure the EIGRP OTP VRF Support feature on a CE device.
