Dell Networking: Multitenancy with VRF-lite
Summary: This guide demonstrates multitenancy via VRF-lite on supported Dell Networking switches (S4810, S4820T, S5000, S6000, Z9500). Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) allows a physical router to be partitioned into multiple Virtual Routers (VRs). The control and data plane are isolated in each VR so that traffic does not flow across VRs, thus allowing for multiple different routing tables to co-exist within the same physical L3 switch/router at the same time. Route leaking allows for routes to ‘leak’ or be distributed across VRs in a controlled manner ...
