You can use the match source-protocol or match ip-address commands to specify matching criteria
for importing or exporting routes between VRFs.
NOTE: You must use the match source-protocol or match ip-address commands in conjunction with the
route-map command to be able to define the match criteria for route leaking.
Consider a scenario where you have created two VRF tables VRF-red and VRF-blue. VRF-red exports routes
with the export_ospfbgp_protocol route-map to VRF-blue. VRF-blue imports these routes into its RTM.
For leaking these routes from VRF-red to VRF-blue, you can use the ip route-export route-map command on
VRF-red (source VRF, that is exporting the routes); you must also specify a match criteria for these routes
using the match source-protocol command. When you leak these routes into VRF-blue, only the routes
(OSPF and BGP) that satisfy the matching criteria defined in route-map export_ospfbgp_protocol are exposed
to VRF-blue.
While importing these routes into VRF-blue, you can further specify match conditions at the import end to
define the filtering criteria based on which the routes are imported into VRF-blue. You can define a route-
map import_ospf_protocol and then specify the match criteria as OSPF using the match source-protocol
ospf command.
You can then use the ip route-import route-map command to import routes matching the filtering criteria
defined in the import_ospf_protocol route-map. For a reply communication, VRF-blue is configured with a
route-export tag. This value is then configured as route-import tag on the VRF-Red.
To configure route leaking using filtering criteria, perform the following steps:
1 Configure VRF-red using the following command:ip vrf vrf-redip vrf forwarding vrf-redip
address x.x.x.x 255.x.x.x
A non-default VRF named VRF-red is created and the interface 1/11 is assigned to this VRF.
2 Define a route-map export_ospfbgp_protocol.Dell(config)route-map
export_ospfbgp_protocol permit 10
3 Define the matching criteria for the exported routes.Dell(config-route-map)match source-
protocol ospfDell(config-route-map)match source-protocol bgp
This action specifies that the route-map contains OSPF and BGP as the matching criteria for exporting
routes from vrf-red.
4 Configure the export target in the source VRF with route-map export_ospfbgp_protocol.ip route-
export 1:1 export_ospfbgp_protocol
5 Configure VRF-blue.ip vrf vrf-blue ip vrf forwarding VRF-blueip address x.x.x.x
255.x.x.x
A non-default VRF named VRF-blue is created and the interface 1/22 is assigned to it.
6 Define the route-map import_ospf_protocol.Dell(config)route-map import_ospf_protocol
permit 10
7 Define the matching criteria for importing routes into VRF-blue.Dell(config-route-map)match
source-protocol ospf
This action specifies that the route-map contains OSPF as the matching criteria for importing routes into
vrf-blue.
8 Configure the import target in VRF-blue with route-map import_ospf_protociol.ip route-import
1:1 import_ospf_protocol
