[AusNOG] Management VRF

[Daniel]

We also use RFC1918 for our addressing on a separate VLAN,

 

We are looking at further ways to implement out of band access into this network, more than likely via 3G or DSL

 

Hope this helps :D

Hi Noggers,

I've been doing a little research around management VRF's, mainly for splitting my company's network management traffic into it's own VRF, to shield it from any potential routing issues. 

I know some of our kit, such as the Cisco ASR 1001 and cat4948's have dedicated management ethernet interfaces locked in a management VRF.

 

At this stage I see two common options:

Management traffic in a VRF with RFC1918 addressing, and

Management traffic in the global routing table, with customer traffic, with BGP etc in a VRF (i.e, turn it all "inside out")

 

I'm curious to see others thoughts on this, and what implementations you've all put in place out there?

Thanks,

Ben
