VRF localization

VRF localization provides a mechanism for localizing routes of VRF to specific line cards to help maximize the number of routes that a router can handle. CE-facing interfaces localize all the routes of instance type VRF to specific line cards. If CE-facing interfaces are logical interfaces like AE or RLSQ or IRB, then the line card number has to be configured to localize routes. Core-facing line cards store all the VRF routes. These cards have to be configured as VPN core-facing only or VPN core-facing default. To configure VRF localization, configure the localized-fib configuration statement at the [edit routing-instances instance-name routing-options] hierarchy level and configure vpn-localization at the [edit chassis fpc fpc-slot] hierarchy level. The show route vpn-localization command displays the localization information of all the VRFs in the system.
