To configure an import route map for a Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing and forwarding (VRF)
instance, use the import map command in VRF configuration submode.

oute-map
Syntax Description
Defaults A VRF has no import route map unless one is configured using the impo
rt map command.
Command Modes VRF configuration submode
Command History
Usage Guidelines Use an import route map when an application requires finer control over the routes imported into a VRF
th
an provided by the import and export extended communities configured for the importing and
exporting VRF.
The im
port map command associates a route map with the specified VRF. You can use a route map to
filter routes that are eligible for import into a VRF, based on the route target extended community
attributes of the route. The route map might deny access to selected routes from a community that is on
the import list.
The impo
rt map command does not replace the need for a route-target import in the VRF configuration.
You use the import map command to further filter prefixes that match a route-target import statement
in that VRF.
Examples The following example shows how to configure an import route map for a VRF:
Router(config)# ip vrf vrf1
Router(config-vrf)# import map importmap1
route-map Specifies the route map to be used as an import route map for the VRF.
