2 Virtual Routers on 1 Port

bw447 — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 01:20:08 GMT

Just an easy question.

I've created a new virtual router on an x460.
I have a working setup with 2 vr's on 1 port with multiple vlans (created on multiple vr's).
I pretty much just followed the Concepts Guide.
Everything works great, no problems.

My question is can i remove VR-Default from all edge ports?
What would the problem be with that?

There is absolute no problem with removing the VR-Default from all edge ports.
Actually the ports will be following the VR where the VLAN is created in.

Ron, another quick question. So the x460 with both VR connect in to our WAN (x670-G2). If I enable OSPF on both VR do I need 2 uplinks to the x670, or is it possible to run ospf on both VR on only 1 port?

Thanks for your help with this!

Hi,

There is inter-vr routing available.
