Core node private VRF setup¶
The following page explains how to set up a core node with a separate interface for a private VRF.
An interface with a private VRF on it allows traffic for a given VRF to be routed through it. More information on VRFs can be found in our routing and VRFs documentation.

Instructions¶
Create a new node record on the management server with the name
dc0.Add an interface to the node with the following configuration:
Name:
eth0Aliases:
publicVRF:
GlobalIPv4:
203.0.113.1/24IPv6:
2001:db8:1::1/64Keep on shutdown enabled on both addresses
Add another interface to the node with the following configuration:
Name:
eth1Aliases:
privateVRF:
RedIPv4:
10.0.1.1/24IPv6:
fd00:1::1/64Keep on shutdown disabled
You now have a valid core node configuration with a separate interface for a private VRF, ready to accept peer link connections from other nodes and route traffic for either the global or private VRF.
