Moving between VRF instances is done by selecting an existing instance to become the active VRF CLI 
context. The 

 command is also used to select an existing instance. For example, the following command 

selects the IpTwo instance:

IpOne: -> vrf IpTwo

IpTwo: ->

In the above example, selecting the IpTwo instance changed the VRF CLI context from IpOne to IpTwo. 
Any subsequent commands entered will apply to the IpTwo instance. 

Note. If the instance name specified with the vrf command does not exist, a VRF instance is automati-
cally created. In addition, configuring a VRF instance name is case sensitive. As a result, it is possible to 
accidentally create or delete instances. Use the 

 command to verify the VRF instance configura-

tion before selecting, adding, or removing instances.

To return to the default VRF instance from within the context of another instance, enter the vrf command 
with or without the optional default parameter. For example, both of the following commands return the 
CLI context to the default VRF instance:

IpOne: -> vrf

IpOne: -> vrf default

Note that the command prompt for the default VRF instance does not display the instance name.
