NOTE: To enable HTTP to be VRF-aware, as a prerequisite you must first define the VRF.
You can specify either the management VRF or a nondefault VRF to configure the VRF awareness setting.
When you specify the management VRF, the copy operation that is used to transfer files to and from an HTTP server utilizes the
VRF table corresponding to the Management VRF to look up the destination. When you specify a nondefault VRF, the VRF table
corresponding to that nondefault VRF is used to look up the HTTP server.
However, these changes are backward-compatible and do not affect existing behavior; meaning, you can still use the ip http
source- interface command to communicate with a particular interface even if no VRF is configured on that interface
NOTE: If the HTTP service is not VRF-aware, then it uses the global routing table to perform the look-up.
To enable an HTTP client to look up the VRF table corresponding to either management VRF or any nondefault VRF, use the ip
http vrf
command in CONFIGURATION mode.
• Configure an HTTP client with a VRF that is used to connect to the HTTP server.
