Use this command to create or delete a customer VRF. You cannot use the keyword default as a VRF
name as it indicates a special VRF. Use the keyword management to create a management VRF. You need
not provide a VRF ID while creating a management VRF. For other types of VRFs, VRF ID is an optional
parameter. All values in the valid range that are not already taken are allowed.
