Cisco Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(33)SRE

The Multi-VRF Selection Using Policy Based Routing (PBR) feature allows a specified interface on a 
provider edge (PE) router to route packets to Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) based on packet length 
or match criteria defined in an IP access list. 

You can enable VRF selection by policy-routing packets through a route map, through the global routing 
table, or to a specified VRF.

You can enable policy-routing packets for virtual route forwarding (VRF) instances by using route-map 
commands with the following set clauses:

set vrf—Routes packets through a specified VRF instance. The router looks for the outgoing 
interface in the VRF table.

set ip vrf—Causes the router to look up the next hop in the VRF table.

set global—Routes packets through the global routing table. This command is useful when you want 
to route ingress packets belonging to a specific VRF through the global routing table.

set ip global—Routes packets through the global routing table, where the next-hop lookup will be 
in the global routing table. 

This feature and the VRF Selection Based on Source IP Address feature can be configured together on 
the same interface.
