ipv6 route-export
Enables route leaking between VRFs. Exports or shares IPv6 routes corresponding to one VRF with other non-default VRFs.
Syntax
ipv6 route-export tag [route-map-name]
Parameters
route-export Enter the keyword route-export to leak or share routes between VRFs.
tag Enter a tag (ASN number) as the export route target to expose routes to other
VRFs. This tag acts as an identier for exported routes. You can use this identier
while importing these routes into another non-default VRF.
route-map-name (Optional) Enter the name of the route-map to lter the exported routes. You can
leak global routes to be made available to VRFs. As the global RTM usually contains
a large pool of routes, when the destination VRF imports global routes, these
routes will be duplicated into the VRF's RTM. As a result, it is mandatory to use
route-maps to lter out leaked routes while sharing global routes with VRFs.

Usage Information You can use the ip route-export tag command without specifying the route-map attribute to export all the
routes corresponding to a source VRF. This action exposes source VRF's routes to various other VRFs,
which then import these routes using the ip route-import tag command. In Dell Networking OS, you can
congure at most one route-export per VRF as only one set of routes can be exposed for leaking. However,
you can congure multiple route-import targets because a VRF can accept routes from multiple VRFs.
You can expose a unique set of routes from the Source VRF for Leaking to other VRFs. When two VRFs leak
or export routes, there is no option to discretely lter leaked routes from each source VRF. Meaning, you
cannot import one set of routes from one VRF and another set of routes from another VRF.
Only Active routes are eligible for leaking. For example, if one VRF has two routes corresponding to BGP and
OSPF, in which the BGP route is not active, the OSPF route takes precedence over BGP. Even though the
Target VRF has specied ltering options to match BGP, the BGP route is not leaked as that route is not
active in the Source VRF.
