Man, time is hard to come by of late. I’ve had so little time to rest that’s it’s hard to get my thoughts together.

It’s great to see new network and learn their internals…especially when they were designed by some long-time CCIEs who actually knew what they were doing.

One of the big things that I’m dealing with lately is VRFs. I’ve implemented some VRF-lite stuff, but I’ve never had any practical experience with the full force of them. I’m definitely learning here. Since the blog here is really about my sharing what I’ve learned, let’s go through something that came up recently - terminating VPNs on one VRF while passing traffic to another.
