difference between vlan tag and routing instance

Jun 04, 2009 0 Replies

Hi All,



Have a query on routing instance which i believe is used to select a particular instance of routing table within a router (VRF) .



How is the routing instance different from vlan tag. I guess vlan tag should operate at layer 2 (switches should understand) .



How is a particular routing table selected in a router ? From whre does router get routing instance when traffic is initiated .



Thanks, Inder
