Configuring Easy Virtual Network Shared Services

This chapter describes how to use route replication and redistribution to share services in an Easy Virtual Network (EVN).

Prerequisites for Virtual IP Network Shared Services

  • Read the “Overview of Easy Virtual Networks” module.

  • Implement EVN based on the “Configuring Easy Virtual Networks” module.

Restrictions for Virtual IP Network Shared Services

  • Route replication is supported for Static, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routes. It is not possible to replicate routes to and from Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), but that is not an issue because the BGP import and export method of copying routes between Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) is available in a virtual network.

  • Inter-vrf redistribution for OSPFv2 (ipv4) is supported, but, OSPFv3 under ipv4 address-family is not supported

Information About Easy Virtual Network Shared Services

Shared Services in an Easy Virtual Network

There are some common services (such as database and application servers) that multiple virtual networks need to access. Sharing these services are beneficial because:

  • They are usually not duplicated for each group.

  • It is economical, efficient, and manageable.

  • Policies can be centrally deployed.

To achieve route separation, you could replicate the service, either physically or virtually, one service for each virtual network. However, that solution might not be cost effective or feasible. For a router that supports EVN, the solution is to perform route replication and route redistribution.

Route replication allows shared services because routes are replicated between virtual networks and clients who reside in one virtual network can reach prefixes that exist in another virtual network.

A shared services approach works best for Dynamic Name Systems (DNS), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and corporate communications. It is not a solution for sharing access to an Internet gateway.

Easy Virtual Network Shared Services Easier than VRF-Lite

Sharing servers in VRF-Lite requires route distinguishers (RDs), route targets with importing and exporting, and configuring BGP.

In an EVN environment, shared services are achieved with route replication, which is a simple deployment. Route replication requires no BGP, no RD, no route targets, and no import or export.

In summary, the BGP import and export method of copying routes between VRFs works with both VRF-Lite and EVN. However, route replication is the simpler alternative to enable sharing of common services across multiple virtual networks.

Route Replication Process in Easy Virtual Network

With shared services, clients and servers are located in different virtual networks. To achieve connectivity between clients and servers, routes must be exchanged among virtual networks. Depending on whether VRF-Lite or EVN is implemented, route exchanges among VRFs are accomplished in one of the following ways:

  • If VRF-Lite is implemented, route leaking is achieved via BGP by using the route import/export feature.

  • If EVN is implemented, route replication is supported directly by the Routing Information Base (RIB); there is no dependency on BGP. After routes are replicated from a different virtual network, those routes are propagated across each virtual network through existing redistribution into the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP).

In the following route replication scenario, a router has two VRFs named Services and User-A. OSPF is configured: 


router ospf 99 vrf services
 network 126.1.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0
!
router ospf 98 vrf user-a
 network 126.1.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0

Furthermore, route replication is configured for VRF User-A: 


vrf definition user-a
 !
 address-family ipv4
 route-replicate from vrf services unicast ospf 99
 exit-address-family

In the scenario, the following RIB for the VRF Services contains four routes, three of which are replicated to the RIB for VRF User-A. Route replication creates a link to the source RIB, as shown in the figure below.

Configuring route replication allows mutual redistribution between virtual IP networks. In the case of shared services, you configure route replication within the VRF that needs access to shared services. Within each route-replicate command, you can optionally filter out routes with a route map to prevent a routing loop. That is, you do not want to redistribute routes back into the original routing protocol. You do not want a native route to show up as a replicated route.

Where to Implement Route Replication

We recommend implementing route replication on the router as close to the shared service as possible. Ideally, the router that is directly connected to the server subnet should be used, to eliminate the need to redistribute the host prefixes on the server VRF, and, thereby, avoid a potential routing loop.

Route Replication Behavior for Easy Virtual Network

This section describes the behavior of route replication for EVN, which differs from the behavior for Multi-Topology Routing. In an EVN environment:

  • The route-replicate command is accepted only under the address-family ipv4 command, which is configured under the vrf definition command.

  • The route-replicate command replicates routes into the base topology within the specified address family.

  • If all is specified as a source protocol, only one route-replicate command is allowed per VRF for a given destination topology.

  • The no route-replicate command is allowed to exclude a source protocol.

  • If all is specified as a source protocol, then connected routes are replicated (unlike in the Multi-Topology Routing version of the route-replicate command).

  • A replicated route inherits the administrative distance and source protocol of the source route.

Route Preference Rules After Route Replication in Easy Virtual Network

If a route is replicated, the following rule determines route preference:

  • If two routes are owned by the same protocol and have the same source VRF, and if one of the routes is NOT replicated, then the nonreplicated route is preferred.

If the above rule does not apply, the following rules determine route preference, in this order:

  1. Prefer the route with smaller administrative distance.

  2. Prefer the route with smaller default administrative distance.

  3. Prefer a non-replicated route over a replicated route.

  4. Compare original vrf-names. Prefer the route with the lexicographically smaller vrf-name.

  5. Compare original sub-address-families: Prefer unicast over multicast.

  6. Prefer the oldest route.

How to Share Services Using Easy Virtual Network

Configuring Route Replication to Share Services in Easy Virtual Network

Perform this task to replicate routes from one VRF to another. The examples in the task table are based on the figure below.

In this particular task, routes from VRF SERVICES are replicated to both VRF RED and VRF GREEN, and VRF RED and VRF GREEN are not allowed to share routes between them. In order to allow bidirectional traffic, routes from VRF RED and VRF GREEN are also replicated to VRF SERVICES.


Note

In a real EVN environment, there would also be route replication between VRF SERVICES and a third VRF, and maybe more VRFs. Such replication is left out of the following configuration task for the sake of brevity.

What to Do Next

After you perform the “Configuring Route Replication to Share Services in Easy Virtual Network” task, you must configure VRF GREEN as per the figure above, noting that Router 3 has routes to 10.0.0.0/8 and 20.0.0.0/8 and Router 1 and Router 2 have a route to 192.168.1.0/24.

After the configuration is complete, Router 1 and Router 2 still do not have a route to the shared service residing on 192.168.1.1 and Router 4 does not have routes to 10.0.0.0/8 and 20.0.0.0/8. Such access requires the route redistribution performed in the next task, "Configuring Redistribution to Share Services in EVN".

Configuring Redistribution to Share Services in Easy Virtual Network

This task is based on the assumption that you also performed the task, Configuring Route Replication to Share Services in EVN.

The figure below shows the same networks we used in the figure above. In this task, we perform redistribution on Router 3 so that Router 1 and Router 2 have a route to the shared service residing on 192.168.1.1.

Configuration Example for Easy Virtual Network Shared Services

Example: Easy Virtual Network Route Replication and Route Redistribution in a Multicast Environment

In the figures above there are three multicast streams:

  • Sred, G1: (10.10.1.200, 232.1.1.1)--Source and receivers in VRF red

  • Sgreen, G1: (10.10.2.201, 232.1.1.1)--Source and receivers in VRF green

  • Sblue, G2: (10.10.3.202, 232.3.3.3)--Source in blue and receivers in VRFs red and green.

The server-prefix in VRF blue (10.10.3.0/24) is replicated and distributed into VRFs red and green on R3 and R2.

Multicast group 232.3.3.3 with its source in VRF blue has receivers in both VRF red and VRF green. The stream is transmitted over the shared VRF (blue), and then replicated into VRF red on R3 and into VRF green on R2.
