How to configure PBR within a VRF/VPN-Instance on HPE Comware v7. Useful in multi-tenant environments where traffic must be steered within an isolated routing domain.

PBR within a VRF is only supported on Comware v7 — not Comware v5.

Only a few changes are needed compared with PBR outside a VRF: the VPN-Instance has to be referenced in the next-hop and in the ACL rules. A VPN-Instance is Comware’s name for a VRF.

How to route between VLANs that sit in different VPN-Instances (VRFs) on an HPE Comware switch.

A customer running VPN-Instances on HPE Comware 5500-HI switches needed the switch to act as the default gateway and route between two VPN-Instances. A VPN-Instance splits the routing table, the same as a VRF on Cisco, so this isn’t enabled by default. You can’t do it with static routing: it needs MP-BGP to leak routes between the instances using route targets.
