Implementing SBC Multi-VRF
The Session Border Controller (SBC) provides support for multi-VRF (VPN routing and forwarding) on
customer edge (CE) devices. This feature provides the capability of suppressing provider edge (PE)
checks to prevent loops when the PE is performing a mutual redistribution of packets.
Note
VRF is only supported in DBE media address and SBE AAA/H248 control address; DBE H248 control
address does not support VRF.
Note
For ACE SBC Release 3.0.00 and later releases, this feature is supported in both the unified model and
the distributed model.
For a complete description of commands used in this chapter, refer to Chapter 39, “Cisco Session Border
Controller Commands.” To locate documentation for other commands that appear in this chapter, use the
command reference master index, or search online.

Prerequisites—Implementing Multi-VRF
The following prerequisites are required to implement SBC multi-VRF:
•
On the Application Control Engine Module (ACE), you must be an Admin user to enter SBC
commands. For more information, see the Application Control Engine Module Administration Guide
at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/services_modules/ace/vA2_3_0/configurati
on/administration/guide/admgd.html
•
Before implementing multi-VRF, the SBC must already be created. See the procedures described in
Chapter 2, “ACE Configuration Prerequisites for the SBC.”
Information About Implementing Multi-VRF
The SBC support for multi-VRF on customer edge (CE) devices (that is, customer premises routers)
feature provides the capability of suppressing PE checks that are needed to prevent loops when the PE
is performing a mutual redistribution of packets. Multi-VRF allows for the use of only one router to
accomplish the tasks that multiple routers usually perform. It runs on a network without the requirement
of MPLS and BGP installed.
When VRF is used on a router that is not a PE, the checks can be turned off to allow for correct
population of the VRF routing table with routes to IP prefixes. Multi-VRF is also important because
virtual private network (VPN) functionality is not completely supported on low-end systems. Multi-VRF
provides logical separation of routing instances (and by the implication address space) within one router.
The following summarizes the features of multi-VRF:
•
Allows a single physical router to be split into multiple virtual routers, where each router contains
its own set of interfaces, routing table, and forwarding table. SBC supports multiple (overlapping and
independent) routing tables (addressing) per customer. Virtual routing contexts are used to separate
routing domains within a single router.
•
Multi-VRF can be used where multiple routers are required but only one is available.
•
One physical interface can belong to multiple virtual routers through the usage of subinterfaces
(Frame Relay, ATM, VLANs).
•
BGP and MPLS are not used.
•
No connectivity is provided between VRFs (would require using BGP for internal exporting and
importing between VRFs).
•
When a call is placed between two endpoints in the same VPN site, SBC can route the media directly
between them, to reduce network utilization.
•
Multi-VRF on SBC provides optimization where both endpoints are on the same VPN, by turning
media bypass on.
For ACE SBC Release 3.0.00, by default, all adjacencies on the same VPN have media bypass turned
on. Media bypass can be turned off by using the media-bypass-forbid command (this command is
implemented for CAC policies only).

Note
The VRF name under the adjacency must match the context name.
VRF-Aware DNS Query
This feature allows the SBC to query DNS per VRF. Before ACE SBC Release 3.0.1, all DNS queries
were performed within the Admin context; this feature allows DNS queries to be performed on a
per-context basis.
Implementing Multi-VRF
Implementing SBC multi-VRF is described in the following sections:

Configures the IPv4 remote address of the H.248 controller.
Example:
host1/Admin(config-sbc-dbe-vdbe-h248)#
remote-address ipv4 1.1.1.1

Step 10
Command or Action
Purpose
remote-port [port-num]
Defines the port to connect to on the SBE for an H.248
controller.
Example:
host1/Admin(config-sbc-dbe-h248)# remote-port
2094
Step 11
Configures a DBE to use User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for
H.248 control signaling.
transport udp
Example:
host1/Admin(config-sbc-dbe-h248)# transport udp
Step 12
attach-controllers
Configure a DBE to attach to an H.248 controller.
Example:
host1/Admin(config-sbc-dbe)# attach-controllers
Step 13
media-address pool ipv4 A.B.C.D E.F.G.H vrf
vrfname
Create a pool of sequential IPv4 media addresses for an
IPv4 address associated with a specific VRF instance.
Note
Example:
The vrf name under the adjacency must match the
context name.
host1/Admin(config-sbc-dbe)# media-address pool
ipv4 10.10.10.1 10.10.10.20 vrf my_vrf1
Step 14
media-timeout timeout
Example:
Sets the maximum time a DBE waits after receiving the last
media packet on a call and before cleaning up the call
resources.
host1/Admin(config-sbc-dbe)# media-timeout 10
Step 15
overload-time-threshold time
Configures the threshold for media gateway (MG) overload
control detection.
Example:
host1/Admin(config-sbc-dbe)#
overload-time-threshold 400
Step 16
deact-mode normal
Example:
Specifies that the DBE of an SBC signals a service change
and terminates all calls upon deactivation of the DBE
service.
host1/Admin(config-sbc-dbe)# deactivation-mode
normal
Step 17
Initiates the SBC service.
activate
Example:
host1/Admin(config-sbc-dbe)# activate

Configuring Multi-VRF: Example
This sample configuration shows how the Service Virtual Interface (SVI) and adjacencies are added to
associate a VPN to them.
1.
Configure the line card interface associated with vrf my_vrf1 on Supervisor.
vrf definition my_vrf1
rd 55:1111
!
address-family ipv4
exit-address-family
!
2.
Configure the line card interface associated with vrf my_vrf1 on supervisor.

interface Vlan 99
vrf forwarding my_vrf1
ip address 99.101.1.1 255.255.255.0
!
3.
Configure the context on ACE card and assign the VLAN.
context my_vrf1
allocate-interface vlan 99
4.
Configure the FT group.
Note
You must configure the FT group 1 with the default (Admin) context (in this instance,
my_vrf1).

5.
Configure the interface on my_vrf1 context for which you need to use change to CLI for changing
the context.
