• ip route-export – exports routes to another VRF.
ipv6 route-export
Enables route leaking between VRFs. This command exports or shares IPv6 routes corresponding to one VRF with other nondefault VRFs.
Syntax
ipv6 route-export tag [route-map-name]
Parameters
route-export Enter the keywords route-export to leak or share routes between VRFs.
tag Enter a tag (ASN number) as the export route target to expose routes to other VRFs.
This tag acts as an identier for exported routes. Use this identier while importing these
routes into another nondefault VRF.
route-map-name (Optional) Enter the name of the route-map to lter the exported routes. You can leak
global routes to be made available to VRFs. As the global RTM usually contains a large
pool of routes, when the destination VRF imports global routes, these routes are
duplicated into the VRF's RTM. It is mandatory to use route-maps to lter out leaked
routes while sharing global routes with VRFs.

Usage Information To export all the routes corresponding to a source VRF, use the ip route-export tag command without
specifying the route-map attribute. This action exposes source VRF routes to other VRFs, which then import these
routes using the ip route-import tag command.
In Dell Networking OS, you can congure one route-export per VRF as you can only expose one set of routes for
leaking. However, you can congure multiple route-import targets because a VRF can accept routes from multiple
VRFs.
You can expose a unique set of routes from the source VRF for leaking to other VRFs. When two VRFs leak or
export routes, there is no option to discretely lter leaked routes from each source VRF. For example, you cannot
import one set of routes from one VRF and another set of routes from another VRF.
Only active routes are eligible for leaking. For example, if one VRF has two routes corresponding to BGP and OSPF,
in which the BGP route is not active, the OSPF route takes precedence over BGP. Even though the target VRF
has specied ltering options to match BGP, the BGP route is not leaked as that route is not active in the source
VRF.
