Version Description
9.7(0.0) Introduced on the S6000-ON and Z9500.
9.4.(0.0) Introduced on the S-Series and Z9000.
Usage Information
Use this command to attach an interface to a congured VRF. You can attach an interface to either a non-
default VRF or a management VRF. To assign a port-back to a default VRF, remove VRF association from
the interface. You can use this only if there is no IP address congured on the interface.
There must be no prior Layer 3 conguration on the interface when conguring VRF.
VRF must be enabled prior to implementing this command.
You can congure an IP subnet or address on a physical or VLAN interface that overlaps the same IP subnet
or address congured on another interface only if the interfaces are assigned to dierent VRFs. If two
interfaces are assigned to the same VRF, you cannot congure overlapping IP subnets or the same IP
address on them.
