Usage Guidelines
A virtual context provides virtualization at the device level, using virtual routing and forwarding (VRF), to
create multiple instances of Layer 3 routing tables. Contexts or VRFs provide segmentation across IP addresses,
allowing for overlapped address space and traffic separation. \
This command enables the auto-generation of LISP (Locator ID Separation Protocol) and VRF (Virtual
Routing and Forwarding) configuration, to orchestrate the fabric overlay. The show-running configuration
command shows the virtual context configuration including the auto-generated base line commands.
Examples
Device(config-fabric-auto-domain)#context name guest
id 10
The following configuration is auto-generated when this command is run on your device:
ip vrf guest
