NETGEAR 8800 User Manual
The VR context simplifies configuration and management because you do not have to specify
the VR for each individual command. The current context is indicated in the command line
interface (CLI) prompt by the name of the user VR, or no name if in the VR-Default domain.
Managing Virtual Routers
To use the user VR functionality in the XCM8800 software, you need to complete the tasks
described in the following sections:
• Creating and Deleting User Virtual Routers on page 288
• Changing the VR Context on page 289
• Adding and Deleting Routing Protocols on page 289
• Configuring Ports to Use One or More Virtual Routers on page 290
• Displaying Ports and Protocols on page 291
• Configuring the Routing Protocols and VLANs on page 292
Creating and Deleting User Virtual Routers
The NETGEAR 8800 supports up to 64 user VRs. To create a user VR, use the following
command:
create virtual-router <vr-name>
Note: User VRs are supported only on the platforms listed for this feature
in Table 75 on page 798.
A VR name cannot be the same as a VLAN name. You cannot name a user VR with the
names VR-Mgmt, VR-Control, or VR-Default because these are the existing default system
VRs. For backward compatibility, user VRs also cannot be named VR-0, VR-1 or VR-2,
