V-256052

CAT I (High)

The PE router must be configured to have each Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instance bound to the appropriate physical or logical interfaces to maintain traffic separation between all MPLS L3VPNs.

Discussion

The primary security model for an MPLS L3VPN infrastructure is traffic separation. The service provider must guarantee the customer that traffic from one VPN does not leak into another VPN or into the core, and that core traffic must not leak into any VPN. Hence, it is imperative that each CE-facing interface can only be associated to one VRF—that alone is the fundamental framework for traffic separation.

Check Content

Review the design plan for deploying L3VPN and VRF-lite. 

Review all CE-facing interfaces and verify the proper VRF is defined.

To verify the interfaces toward CE facing with proper VRF defined, execute the command "sh run int ethernet YY".

vrf instance PROD
vrf instance DEVP

ip routing vrf PROD
ip routing vrf DEVP

interface Ethernet3
   no routerport
   vrf PROD
   ip address 10.1.99.11/24

interface Ethernet4
   no routerport
   vrf DEVP
   ip address 10.11.5.11/24

If any VRFs are not bound to the appropriate physical or logical interface, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the Arista PE router to have each VRF bound to the appropriate physical or logical interfaces to maintain traffic separation between all MPLS L3VPNs.

Configure the VRF on the CE facing interfaces.
