IOS XR – VRF lite and dot1q Trunks

Ok, time for some VRF lite basics and we can throw in some Dot1Q trunks to go with it.

First, let’s create our VRF called LAB
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config)#vrf LAB

Now we need to enable the address family for this VRF, there IPv4 Unicast
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-vrf)#address-family ipv4 un
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-vrf-af)#exit

Now we need to enable the IPv6 address family for this VRF
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-vrf)#address-family ipv6 unicast

Now we can create our Dot1Q trunk to the other router:
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-vrf-af)#int g0/3/0/3.100

Little different then IOS, but this actually makes more sense
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-subif)#dot1q vlan 100
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-subif)#ip add 150.1.21.1/24
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-subif)#ipv6 add 2001:1:1:21::1/64
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-subif)#vrf LAB

Ok, now that BGP has been covered, lets talk about filtering routes received from our neighbor.  Here I have created some additional Loopbacks on R2 that are being advertised to R1:

RP/0/7/CPU0:R1#sh ip route bgp
Fri Mar 30 13:13:36.797 UTC

B    200.100.200.100/32 [20/0] via 2.2.2.2, 00:00:42
B    200.200.200.200/32 [20/0] via 2.2.2.2, 13:45:00
B    200.200.200.203/32 [20/0] via 2.2.2.2, 00:00:42
B    200.200.200.204/32 [20/0] via 2.2.2.2, 00:00:42
B    200.200.200.205/32 [20/0] via 2.2.2.2, 00:00:42
B    200.200.200.206/32 [20/0] via 2.2.2.2, 00:00:42
B    200.200.200.207/32 [20/0] via 2.2.2.2, 00:00:42
B    200.200.200.208/32 [20/0] via 2.2.2.2, 00:00:42
B    200.200.200.209/32 [20/0] via 2.2.2.2, 00:00:42
B    200.200.200.210/32 [20/0] via 2.2.2.2, 00:00:42
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1#

As you can see, we are getting a bunch of 200.200.200.x/32 routes now as well as a 200.100.200.100/32 route.  For this exercise, lets filter our all the 200.200.200.x routes we are receiving from our neighbor.

Ok, lets create a prefix-set for the loopback we want to permit:

RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config)#conf t
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config)#prefix-set R2Loopbacks

IOS XR – iBGP and eBGP

BGP, this is where it starts to get different with IOS XR.
First up, configuring an iBGP peering with R2’s 150.1.12.2 in AS1 and advertise our loopback interface.

RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config)#
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config)#router bgp 1

Let’s define the network we want to advertise, under the address family:
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-bgp)#address-family ipv4 unicast
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-bgp-af)#net 1.1.1.1/32
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-bgp-af)#exit

Now, we can configure the neighbor.  Notice all the commands for the neighbor are under the neighbor now – not next to the neighbor.
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-bgp)#nei 150.1.12.2
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-bgp-nbr)#remote-as 1
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-bgp-nbr)#address-family ipv4 unicast
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-bgp-nbr-af)#exit
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-bgp-nbr)#comm
Thu Mar 29 22:47:05.147 UTC

RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config-bgp)#exit
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1(config)#exit

Now, time to see if we have a neighbor established:
RP/0/7/CPU0:R1#sh bgp nei 150.1.12.2
Thu Mar 29 22:48:13.338 UTC
