Question 5 - D-SNC-DY-00 discussion

Here are the steps to configure the VRF and the static route:

Enter Configuration Mode:

sonic# configure terminal

Create VRF 'VrfGreen':

sonic(config)# ip vrf VrfGreen

Configure the Static Route:

sonic(config)# ip route vrf VrfGreen 172.16.128.64/28 10.10.10.1 213

Save Configuration:

sonic# write memory

Enter Configuration Mode:

Begin by entering the global configuration mode to make changes to the switch configuration.

Create VRF 'VrfGreen':

Use the command ip vrf VrfGreen to create a new VRF named 'VrfGreen'. This command sets up a new VRF instance which will isolate the routing table for this VRF from the global routing table and other VRFs.

Configure the Static Route:

Use the command ip route vrf VrfGreen 172.16.128.64/28 10.10.10.1 213 to configure the static route.

ip route vrf VrfGreen specifies that the route should be added to the 'VrfGreen' VRF.

172.16.128.64/28 is the destination network.

10.10.10.1 is the next-hop IP address.

213 is the administrative distance, which in this case is set to a non-default value to influence route preference.

Save Configuration:

Save the configuration to ensure the changes persist after a reboot using the write memory command.
