About Virtual Routers and Dynamic VTI

Virtual Routers and Dynamic VTI

You can create virtual routers, associate dynamic VTIs with these virtual routers, and extend the capabilities of dynamic VTIs in your network. You can associate dynamic VTIs either with global or user-defined virtual routers. You can assign a dynamic VTI to only one virtual router.

A virtual router associated with:

  • A dynamic VTI is called an Indoor VRF (IVRF).

  • A tunnel source interface is known as Front Door VRF (FVRF).

A dynamic VTI and its corresponding protected network interface must be part of the same virtual router.  You must map the borrow IP interface and the dynamic VTI to the same virtual router. A tunnel source interface can be part of multiple virtual routers.

To configure virtual routers using dynamic VTI for a route-based site-to-site VPN, see How to Configure a Virtual Router with Dynamic VTI.
