Juniper SRX VRF Configuration - Google Search

Configuring VRF on a Juniper SRX firewall involves creating routing instances, assigning interfaces, and setting up routing protocols to isolate traffic within separate routing tables. This allows for overlapping IP addresses and prevents interaction between different VRFs. The document outlines the steps for creating routing instances, assigning interfaces, configuring routing protocols, and establishing security policies to manage traffic flow.

Configuring VRF on a Juniper SRX firewall involves creating routing instances, assigning
interfaces, and configuring routing protocols to isolate traffic within separate routing
tables . This allows for overlapping IP addresses and prevents traffic from different VRFs
from interacting with each other.

Here's a breakdown of the configuration process:

1. Create Routing Instances:


Define VRF instances using the instance-type vrf configuration.
Assign a route distinguisher to each VRF instance.

(Optional) Configure a VRF target for route import/export.

Code

[edit routing-instances]
user@host# set VRF-A instance-type vrf
user@host# set VRF-A route-distinguisher 10:200
user@host# set VRF-A vrf-target target:100:100

2. Assign Interfaces:
Bind physical or logical interfaces to the specific VRF instance using
the interface configuration.

Each interface within a VRF will use that VRF's routing table for forwarding.

Code

[edit routing-instances VRF-A]


user@host# set interface ge-0/0/0.0

3. Configure Routing Protocols:


Configure routing protocols (e.g., OSPF, BGP) within each VRF instance to learn and exchange
routes.

Ensure that the routing protocols are configured to use the appropriate VRF routing table.

user@host# set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0

4. Security Policies:
Create security policies to control traffic flow between VRFs or to the outside world.
Policies can be configured to permit or deny traffic based on source and destination addresses,
ports, and other criteria.

Code

[edit security policies from-zone Trust to-zone Untrust]


user@host# set policy policy1 match source-address any destination-address any application a
user@host# set policy policy1 then permit

Example Scenario:
Imagine you have two customers, Customer A and Customer B, each with their own
network using the same IP address range (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24). You can use VRFs to
isolate their traffic:
1. Create two VRF instances: VRF-CustomerA and VRF-CustomerB .
2. Assign the interfaces connected to Customer A's network to VRF-CustomerA and interfaces
connected to Customer B's network to VRF-CustomerB .
3. Configure routing protocols (e.g., OSPF) within each VRF instance to exchange routes within each
customer's network.
4. Create security policies to prevent traffic from flowing between VRF-CustomerA and VRF-
CustomerB .

This setup ensures that Customer A's traffic stays within their VRF and doesn't interfere
with Customer B's network, even though they are using the same IP address space.
