VFR

Each customer has its own VRF so that they have overlapping networks, a route distinguisher (RD) distinguishes one set of routes (one VRF) from another When VPN routes are advertised among PE routers via MP-BGP, the RD is included as part of the route along with the IP prefix. ip vrf Site_A  rd 65000:10 ! ip vrf Site_B  rd 65000:20 ! ip vrf Site_C  rd 65000:30     Whereas route distinguishers are used to maintain uniqueness among identical routes in different VRFs, route targets can be used to share routes among them. We can apply route targets to a VRF to control the import and export of routes among it and other VRFs.  ip vrf Customer_A  rd 65000:100  route-target export 65000:100  route-target import 65000:100    You can use the shortcut command route-target both as a macro to add both commands simultaneously.
