Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)
====================================
The VRF device combined with ip rules provides the ability to create virtual
routing and forwarding domains (aka VRFs, VRF-lite to be specific) in the
Linux network stack. One use case is the multi-tenancy problem where each
tenant has their own unique routing tables and in the very least need
different default gateways.
Processes can be "VRF aware" by binding a socket to the VRF device. Packets
through the socket then use the routing table associated with the VRF
device. An important feature of the VRF device implementation is that it
impacts only Layer 3 and above so L2 tools (e.g., LLDP) are not affected
(ie., they do not need to be run in each VRF). The design also allows
the use of higher priority ip rules (Policy Based Routing, PBR) to take
precedence over the VRF device rules directing specific traffic as desired.
In addition, VRF devices allow VRFs to be nested within namespaces. For
example network namespaces provide separation of network interfaces at the
device layer, VLANs on the interfaces within a namespace provide L2 separation
and then VRF devices provide L3 separation.
Design
------
A VRF device is created with an associated route table. Network interfaces
are then enslaved to a VRF device:
+-----------------------------+
| vrf-blue | ===> route table 10
+-----------------------------+
| | |
+------+ +------+ +-------------+
| eth1 | | eth2 | ... | bond1 |
+------+ +------+ +-------------+
| |
+------+ +------+
| eth8 | | eth9 |
+------+ +------+
Packets received on an enslaved device and are switched to the VRF device
in the IPv4 and IPv6 processing stacks giving the impression that packets
flow through the VRF device. Similarly on egress routing rules are used to
send packets to the VRF device driver before getting sent out the actual
interface. This allows tcpdump on a VRF device to capture all packets into
and out of the VRF as a whole.[1] Similarly, netfilter[2] and tc rules can be
applied using the VRF device to specify rules that apply to the VRF domain
as a whole.
[1] Packets in the forwarded state do not flow through the device, so those
packets are not seen by tcpdump. Will revisit this limitation in a
future release.
[2] Iptables on ingress supports PREROUTING with skb->dev set to the real
ingress device and both INPUT and PREROUTING rules with skb->dev set to
the VRF device. For egress POSTROUTING and OUTPUT rules can be written
using either the VRF device or real egress device.
Setup
-----
1. VRF device is created with an association to a FIB table.
e.g, ip link add vrf-blue type vrf table 10
ip link set dev vrf-blue up
2. An l3mdev FIB rule directs lookups to the table associated with the device.
A single l3mdev rule is sufficient for all VRFs. The VRF device adds the
l3mdev rule for IPv4 and IPv6 when the first device is created with a
default preference of 1000. Users may delete the rule if desired and add
with a different priority or install per-VRF rules.
Prior to the v4.8 kernel iif and oif rules are needed for each VRF device:
ip ru add oif vrf-blue table 10
ip ru add iif vrf-blue table 10
3. Set the default route for the table (and hence default route for the VRF).
ip route add table 10 unreachable default
4. Enslave L3 interfaces to a VRF device.
ip link set dev eth1 master vrf-blue
Local and connected routes for enslaved devices are automatically moved to
the table associated with VRF device. Any additional routes depending on
the enslaved device are dropped and will need to be reinserted to the VRF
FIB table following the enslavement.
The IPv6 sysctl option keep_addr_on_down can be enabled to keep IPv6 global
addresses as VRF enslavement changes.
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down=1
5. Additional VRF routes are added to associated table.
ip route add table 10 ...
Applications
------------
Applications that are to work within a VRF need to bind their socket to the
VRF device:
setsockopt(sd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BINDTODEVICE, dev, strlen(dev)+1);
or to specify the output device using cmsg and IP_PKTINFO.
TCP services running in the default VRF context (ie., not bound to any VRF
device) can work across all VRF domains by enabling the tcp_l3mdev_accept
sysctl option:
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_l3mdev_accept=1
netfilter rules on the VRF device can be used to limit access to services
running in the default VRF context as well.
The default VRF does not have limited scope with respect to port bindings.
That is, if a process does a wildcard bind to a port in the default VRF it
owns the port across all VRF domains within the network namespace.
################################################################################
Using iproute2 for VRFs
=======================
iproute2 supports the vrf keyword as of v4.7. For backwards compatibility this
section lists both commands where appropriate -- with the vrf keyword and the
older form without it.
1. Create a VRF
To instantiate a VRF device and associate it with a table:
$ ip link add dev NAME type vrf table ID
As of v4.8 the kernel supports the l3mdev FIB rule where a single rule
covers all VRFs. The l3mdev rule is created for IPv4 and IPv6 on first
device create.
2. List VRFs
To list VRFs that have been created:
$ ip [-d] link show type vrf
NOTE: The -d option is needed to show the table id
For example:
$ ip -d link show type vrf
11: mgmt: <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 72:b3:ba:91:e2:24 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0
vrf table 1 addrgenmode eui64
12: red: <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether b6:6f:6e:f6:da:73 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0
vrf table 10 addrgenmode eui64
13: blue: <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 36:62:e8:7d:bb:8c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0
vrf table 66 addrgenmode eui64
14: green: <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether e6:28:b8:63:70:bb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0
vrf table 81 addrgenmode eui64
Or in brief output:
$ ip -br link show type vrf
mgmt UP 72:b3:ba:91:e2:24 <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP>
red UP b6:6f:6e:f6:da:73 <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP>
blue UP 36:62:e8:7d:bb:8c <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP>
green UP e6:28:b8:63:70:bb <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP>
3. Assign a Network Interface to a VRF
Network interfaces are assigned to a VRF by enslaving the netdevice to a
VRF device:
$ ip link set dev NAME master NAME
On enslavement connected and local routes are automatically moved to the
table associated with the VRF device.
For example:
$ ip link set dev eth0 master mgmt
4. Show Devices Assigned to a VRF
To show devices that have been assigned to a specific VRF add the master
option to the ip command:
$ ip link show vrf NAME
$ ip link show master NAME
For example:
$ ip link show vrf red
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master red state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:02 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master red state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:03 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
7: eth5: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop master red state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:06 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Or using the brief output:
$ ip -br link show vrf red
eth1 UP 02:00:00:00:02:02 <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>
eth2 UP 02:00:00:00:02:03 <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>
eth5 DOWN 02:00:00:00:02:06 <BROADCAST,MULTICAST>
5. Show Neighbor Entries for a VRF
To list neighbor entries associated with devices enslaved to a VRF device
add the master option to the ip command:
$ ip [-6] neigh show vrf NAME
$ ip [-6] neigh show master NAME
For example:
$ ip neigh show vrf red
10.2.1.254 dev eth1 lladdr a6:d9:c7:4f:06:23 REACHABLE
10.2.2.254 dev eth2 lladdr 5e:54:01:6a:ee:80 REACHABLE
$ ip -6 neigh show vrf red
2002:1::64 dev eth1 lladdr a6:d9:c7:4f:06:23 REACHABLE
6. Show Addresses for a VRF
To show addresses for interfaces associated with a VRF add the master
option to the ip command:
$ ip addr show vrf NAME
$ ip addr show master NAME
For example:
$ ip addr show vrf red
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master red state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:02 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.2.1.2/24 brd 10.2.1.255 scope global eth1
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 2002:1::2/120 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::ff:fe00:202/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master red state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:03 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.2.2.2/24 brd 10.2.2.255 scope global eth2
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 2002:2::2/120 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::ff:fe00:203/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
7: eth5: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop master red state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:06 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Or in brief format:
$ ip -br addr show vrf red
eth1 UP 10.2.1.2/24 2002:1::2/120 fe80::ff:fe00:202/64
eth2 UP 10.2.2.2/24 2002:2::2/120 fe80::ff:fe00:203/64
eth5 DOWN
7. Show Routes for a VRF
To show routes for a VRF use the ip command to display the table associated
with the VRF device:
$ ip [-6] route show vrf NAME
$ ip [-6] route show table ID
For example:
$ ip route show vrf red
prohibit default
broadcast 10.2.1.0 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.1.2
10.2.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.1.2
local 10.2.1.2 dev eth1 proto kernel scope host src 10.2.1.2
broadcast 10.2.1.255 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.1.2
broadcast 10.2.2.0 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.2.2
10.2.2.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.2.2
local 10.2.2.2 dev eth2 proto kernel scope host src 10.2.2.2
broadcast 10.2.2.255 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.2.2
$ ip -6 route show vrf red
local 2002:1:: dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
local 2002:1::2 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
2002:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
local 2002:2:: dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
local 2002:2::2 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
2002:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
local fe80:: dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
local fe80:: dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
local fe80::ff:fe00:202 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
local fe80::ff:fe00:203 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
fe80::/64 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
fe80::/64 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
ff00::/8 dev red metric 256 pref medium
ff00::/8 dev eth1 metric 256 pref medium
ff00::/8 dev eth2 metric 256 pref medium
8. Route Lookup for a VRF
A test route lookup can be done for a VRF:
$ ip [-6] route get vrf NAME ADDRESS
$ ip [-6] route get oif NAME ADDRESS
For example:
$ ip route get 10.2.1.40 vrf red
10.2.1.40 dev eth1 table red src 10.2.1.2
cache
$ ip -6 route get 2002:1::32 vrf red
2002:1::32 from :: dev eth1 table red proto kernel src 2002:1::2 metric 256 pref medium
9. Removing Network Interface from a VRF
Network interfaces are removed from a VRF by breaking the enslavement to
the VRF device:
$ ip link set dev NAME nomaster
Connected routes are moved back to the default table and local entries are
moved to the local table.
For example:
$ ip link set dev eth0 nomaster
