300-410 Practice Question: Drag and drop the steps to configure inter-VRF…
Drag and drop the steps to configure inter-VRF route leaking using static routes in VRF-Lite into the correct order, from first to last.
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
✓
Define VRFs and assign route distinguisher
First, define both VRFs and assign a route distinguisher (RD). Then assign interfaces to the respective VRFs. After that, configure static routes with the VRF keyword to leak routes between VRFs. Finally, verify the leaked routes are present in the VRF routing table. Note that import/export route targets are not used in VRF-Lite; they are only required for MPLS VPN scenarios.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Define VRFs and assign route distinguisher
Why this is correct
Defining VRFs and assigning an RD is the first step; it creates the VRF instances and ensures route uniqueness.
- ✗
Configure import and export route targets
Why it's wrong here
Configuring import and export route targets is not used in VRF-Lite. Route targets are only relevant in MPLS VPN environments. In VRF-Lite, route leaking is done via static routes or other methods without RTs.
- ✓
Assign interfaces to each VRF
Why this is correct
Assigning interfaces to each VRF must be done before configuring static routes, as the VRF must be active on the interface for routes to be injected.
- ✓
Configure static routes with VRF keyword
Why this is correct
Configuring static routes with the VRF keyword (e.g., 'ip route vrf VRF1 <prefix> <next-hop>') directly defines the path to leak routes between VRFs.
- ✓
Verify leaked routes in VRF routing table
Why this is correct
Verification with commands like 'show ip route vrf VRF1' confirms that the leaked routes are present.

Key term
MPLS Layer 2 VPN
An MPLS Layer 2 VPN is a virtual private network technology that connects two or more customer sites at the data link layer, allowing them to communicate as if they were on the same local Ethernet segment, while using a service provider’s MPLS backbone.
Key term
LDP Protocol
LDP, or Label Distribution Protocol, is a protocol that routers use to automatically exchange labels that enable MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) to create fast, efficient paths for data packets across a network.
