Users Guide
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 specied ltering options to match BGP, the BGP route is not leaked as that route is not 
active in the Source VRF.
Related Commands ip route-import – imports routes from another VRF.
ip route-import
Imports IPv4 routes that are leaked by another VRF using the tag specied by that VRF during export of these routes.
Syntax
ip route-import tag [route-map—name]
Parameters
route-import Enter the keyword route-import to import routes into the VRF.
tag Enter a tag (ASN number) to specify an import route target for importing routes 
from another VRF.
To import leaked routes from another VRF, you must use the same ASN number 
that is specied as the export route target at the source VRF.
route-map-name Enter the name of the route-map to lter the imported routes.
NOTE: You must use the route-map attribute while importing routes from 
the global RTM. Route-maps enable you to lter routes at the import end 
based on the matching criteria that you dene in the route-map.
