Which three are needed to run VRF lite for IPv6 on a router?

Which three are needed to run VRF lite for IPv6 on a router? (Choose three.)

A.
VRF definition for IPv6

B.
MP BGP for IPv6

C.
LDP

D.
VRF-enabled routing protocol

E.
VRF-enabled interface

Explanation:
The word VRF stands for Virtual Routing and Forwarding, this feature is used to create multiple
instances of the routing table on the same routing device. VRFs are usually used in conjunction
with MPLS VPN to separate the traffic of multiple MPLS VPN customers. VRF Lite feature is part
of Cisco’s network virtualization portfolio.
VRF Lite means VRF without the need to run MPLS in the network. VRF Lite allows the network

administrator to create multiple routing instances on the same routing device within the enterprise.
VRF Lite can be useful when you need to isolate traffic between two networks sharing the same
routing platform or if you have multiple networks with overlapping addresses sharing the same
physical network. Multiple instances of routing protocols can be used for different VRFs on the
same device to exchange routes dynamically with a direct connected device
VRF Lite Configuration:
R2 is connected via Ethernet to R5. Two VRFs (VRF-LITE-A & B) are configured to demonstrate
L3 traffic isolation. I am using static routes for this example but dynamic routing protocols can be
used. R2 Configuration:
ip vrf VRF-LITE-A
rd 100:1
!
ip vrf VRF-LITE-B
rd 100:2

Operation Verification: The following tests were taken from R2 only, the same can be done on R5
for verification.
