We plan to implement solution based on H3C devices, please is there any documentation related to the vrf implementation, I cannot find any documentation related to the VRF (VRF-lite) feature. What I have find so far was just simple statement that H3C switches do support this feature and maybe description of the feature in general, but I need some specification like how many instances, configuration of the feature and so on. Please could you send me link or at least section of the documentation where could I find these information ?
Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionHi,
VRF in H3C/Comware is called vpn-instance and is configured much like VRF on a Cisco device.
#
ip vpn-instance red description Customer red # interface GigabitEthernet2/0/1 description Int to cust red ip binding vpn-instance red #
How many instances depends on the platform, you might find it lurking around the technical specs. I know the 7500 comes in flavors of 1, 32 or 256 instances depending on which modules you use.

Re: VRF (VRF-lite) support / documentation
Im not 100% sure on how the new naming convention on HP A7500 IO blades are done but I think that the new Advanced, Extended and Enhanced are the old EA, SD and EB modules which all have 256 VRF instances.

Re: VRF (VRF-lite) support / documentation
When I try to bind vlan interface to vpn-instance it complains about missing RD.
There is no bgp or anything else here, I just try to seperate trying from each other with VR/vpn-instance.
Cheers

Re: VRF (VRF-lite) support / documentation
The Switch needs RD internally.

Re: VRF (VRF-lite) support / documentation
Thanks.
I figured out how to make the route-distinguisher under the vpn-instance context as your described, just forgot to update this thread.
It works fine now.
Seems 5500EI is the first switch supporting this.
Cheers

Re: VRF (VRF-lite) support / documentation
So I've been looking all over the internet for any example of the vpn-instance and saw these postings only to find out that the links provided are broken links. Does anyone have a current link or a copy of the original PDF that was being referenced? I basically can find almost no information on the HP comware based devices...

If you knew the title, you could search for it.
Here is another topic that mentions that URL:
http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Comware-Based/VPN-instances-without-MPLS/td-p/5858141
What info are you looking for? Why not use google to search for that?
Here is "How to Configure VRF":
