Advanced IP Routing

We will discuss more advanced IP routing technologies such as filtering route information to be advertised by routing protocols, adjusting metrics, and redistributing when using multiple routing protocols.

These advanced technologies allow you to create router/layer 3 switch routing tables the way you want them to be. It allows you to control the routes that IP packets are forwarded.

Overview of Cisco Route-map

A route-map is a list that summarizes the targets of a process and the contents of a process.
This section provides an overview of the route-map.

Point-to-point GRE Tunnel without FVRF

To better understand FVRF (Front door VRF), consider a network diagram that does not use FVRF.
We will build an overlay network with point-to-point GRE tunnels; we will consider the problems that can arise when VRF is not used.

Point-to-point GRE tunnel with FVRF (tunnel vrf command)

The overlay network of a point-to-point GRE tunnel is separated from the underlay network by VRF. Then, the overlay network must be associated with the underlay network.
The tunnel vrf command is the configuration command for this purpose.
