5. Cautions
(1) Use of the VRF function requires a separate optional license (OP-NPAR).
The VRF function is indispensable when constructing a network partition system. However, an optional license
(OP-NPAR) is separately required for the device that is configured for VRF.
(2) MSU-1B or MSU-1B1 is required to use the VRF function in the AX6300S. CSU-1B or CSU-1B1 is
required to use the VRF function in the AX6600S.
MSU-1B or MSU-1B1 is required as the configuration condition for the device when using the VRF function in
the AX6300S. The VRF function cannot be used in the MSU-1A or MSU-1A1.
CSU-1B or CSU-1B1 is required as the configuration condition for the device when using the VRF function in
the AX6600S. The VRF function cannot be used in the CSU-1A or CSU-1A1.
With the AX6700S, there are no conditions for device configuration.
(3) Make sure that IP addresses do not overlap when configuring a shared network.
In a network partition system, there is no problem even if the IP addresses used overlap between independent
mutual partitions. However, make sure that IP addresses do not overlap between mutual partitions when
communication between partitions is permitted in an extra network or shared network.
(4) Remote login to a device that enables the VRF function can only be done from a global network.
Use the global network when remotely logging in to a device in which the VRF function is used, using telnet or
transfer of a file using FTP. Remote operation cannot be performed from other partitions (VRF).
