MPLS VPN Show Running VRF
The MPLS VPN Show Running VRF feature provides a Cisco IOS CLI option to display a subset of the running configuration on a device 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 device.
On heavily loaded devices, 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 device 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 device.
There are no configuration tasks for the MPLS VPN Show Running VRF feature.

Prerequisites for MPLS VPN Show Running VRF
Restrictions for MPLS VPN Show Running VRF
Any element of the running configuration of the device that is not linked directly to a virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance 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.

Configuration Elements Displayed for MPLS VPN Show Running VRF
You can display the running configuration associated with a specific virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance or all VRFs on the device 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:
Device# show running-config vrf vpn3
The show running-config vrf command displays the following elements of the running configuration on a device:
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.
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 the virtual routing and forwarding (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 a configuration that is not linked directly to a virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance 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.

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 devices 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 device configuration that enables IP traffic to use tunneling to travel securely over a public TCP/IP network.
