CCNP Practice Question: Which two statements about VRF-lite configuration…
Which two statements about VRF-lite configuration are true? (Choose two.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
In VRF-lite, each VRF maintains its own independent routing table.
VRF-lite provides path isolation on a single router without MPLS. The correct answers describe that VRF-lite uses separate routing tables and that interfaces are assigned to VRFs. The incorrect options wrongly claim that VRF-lite requires MPLS or that it supports only static routing.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
In VRF-lite, each VRF maintains its own independent routing table.
Why this is correct
Correct because the core concept of VRF-lite is per-VRF routing tables for path isolation.
- ✓
Interfaces are assigned to a VRF using the 'ip vrf forwarding' command under interface configuration.
Why this is correct
Correct because 'ip vrf forwarding <vrf-name>' associates an interface with a specific VRF.
- ✗
VRF-lite requires MPLS enabled on all interfaces.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because VRF-lite is specifically designed to work without MPLS.
- ✗
VRF-lite can only use static routes for inter-VRF communication.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because dynamic routing protocols like OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP can be used within VRFs.
- ✗
A router can have at most two VRFs configured.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because Cisco IOS supports many VRFs (the exact limit depends on platform and memory).
