Abstract:
Multi-VRF universal device Internet Protocol (IP) address for fabric edge devices may be provided. This address may be used to send and receive packets in a connectivity message for all VRFs on a fabric edge device. First, a request packet may be created by a first network device in response to receiving a connectivity message. The request packet may have a source address corresponding to an address of the first network device and a destination address corresponding to an address of a first client device. Next, the first network device may encapsulate the request packet. The first network device may then forward the encapsulated request packet to a second network device associated with the first client device.

Claim (Index 12):
A method comprising:\n creating a universal address for a first network device that is reachable by all VRFs on the first network device; and installing, in a routing table, a forwarding entry for the universal address for the first network device, wherein the forwarding entry is useable by all VRFs on the first network device.
