ip route-import
Imports IPv4 routes that another VRF leaks using the VRF tag during the export of these routes.
Syntax
ip route-import tag [route-map—name]
Parameters
route-import Enter the keywords 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, use the same ASN number that is specified as
the export route target at the source VRF.
route-map-name Enter the name of the route-map to filter the imported routes.
NOTE: Use the route-map attribute while importing routes from the global
RTM. Route-maps allow you to filter routes at the import end based on the
matching criteria that you define in the route-map.

Commands
• ip route-export – exports routes to another VRF.
ipv6 route-export
Enables route leaking between VRFs. This command exports or shares IPv6 routes corresponding to one VRF with other nondefault VRFs.
Syntax
ipv6 route-export tag [route-map-name]
Parameters
route-export Enter the keywords 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 identifier for exported routes. Use this identifier while importing these
routes into another nondefault VRF.
route-map-name (Optional) Enter the name of the route-map to filter 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 are
