Labels: Labels: Catalyst I have this problem too. June 19, Without VRF visibility, network engineers struggle to answer questions such as: What does my inbound or outbound traffic at the provider edge PE segmented by VRFs look like? Can I visualize all traffic associated with a specific route distinguisher? Do the names of the VRFs that I created for a specific route distinguisher make sense?
Can an alert be raised for a sudden change e. A network operator can see all traffic associated with a specific route distinguisher RD or verify the names of the VRFs that are associated with a specific RD. A network operator can get alerts for changes e. An enterprise network can verify that VRF-lite network partitions are functioning correctly e.

The system allow only the softphone application to talk to the hard-phone in a voice VRF, or allow different soft phones within data VRF resources to talk to each other, however, do not allow other applications to communicate with each other.
They can reach the rest of the world through the PSTN. IP phones are not accessible from the data network, although they may share the same physical layers. Virtualization is created through VLANs. To accommodate multiple departments, multiple VLANs are created for security purposes. To explain the deployment scenario, we show the detail connectivity in Figure 3 , where all the devices from "Finance" and "Sales" departments are connected directly to the Ethernet ports of the Cisco Unified CME.
For example, if this box is located in a superstore and then a bank wants to setup a small booth inside that superstore, the bank cannot use this box. The reason is security: there would be no separation between the networks. The actual call processing rules can be applied by voice on a per VRF basis in this case. Similarly, the Sales department has its own server, which is accessible to only the Sales department.
Those phones should be able to communicate among each other, including sharing the common voice gateways, voice mail servers, and so on. In Figure 4 , the Finance department has 3 IP phones and few computers. The Sales department has 2 IP phones, softphones, and computers. A VRF is assigned to an interface. In a device with multiple interfaces, each of the interfaces can be assigned a VRF. This is the same for other VRF resources —green endpoints send their registration and other communications to their advertised green Cisco Unified CME address.
No software change is required on the endpoint itself. The Cisco Unified CME ephone server process is now be able to receive registration from different interfaces, each representing a separate VRF then to verify and accept the calls coming in from different VRFs.
This applies to both inter and intraVRF form signaling. In one mode, media always flows between the endpoints. This is still true for inter-VRF communication, because each of these end devices is capable of reaching the other directly.
This is achieved using the "TRP" configuration under ephone. Figure 5 also shows an analog voice gateway with an FXS interface to analog phones. If the call is between two SCCP endpoints, the path is directly between endpoints.
