The term "VRF-Lite" comes from when Cisco started delivering VRF capabilities across all Catalyst L3 platforms, even the low end.

Many vendors do support VRF on their high end routers and switches, but few have comprehensive VRF support from the high end all the to the low end.

MBGP is not required for L3 VPN's. That's the beauty of VRF-Lite end to end. A customer can deploy a handfull of L3 VPN's within their own campus without MPLS or BGP.

Vrf-lite is just a Cisco term for utilizing VRFs when no MPLS is present. Any vendor who supports VRFs support "VRF-lite".

In all honesty it's a stupid term as VRF technology isn't tied to MPLS at all. Yes vrf is required for l3 vpns but so is mBGP and we don't have mBGP-lite :)

I am fairly certain the 8212zl can accomplish what was described here,
the problem will be finding documentation on how to configure
everything.

Chris,
I would be curious to see what you come up with. The 8212 feature list on HP's website doesn't show anything similar to VRF-Lite. I'm pretty sure VRF-Lite like capabilities are unique to Cisco. Let me know if you find
otherwise.


Cheers,
