The VRF IP CONFIG level allows you to configure VPN Routing and Forwarding (VRF) parameters
interface and
route for the management and message backbone VRF objects on a P-7500 system.
You reach this level by entering ip vrf <name> at the Global CONFIG level, where <name> is the name of the specified VRF object, either management for management VRF, or msg-backbone for message backbone VRF.
The CLI is now at the VRF IP CONFIG level for the VRF object named msg-backbone, to configure VRF parameters
interface and
route for VRF object msg-backbone.
Use this command to reach the Interface VRF IP CONFIG level to create and configure IP interfaces for VRF objects on an interface by interface basis.
<ip-interface> is an ASCII string in the form of <phy-interface>:<ip> that specifies the IP interface to be associated with the physical interface port. <ip> is a number from 1 to 3 that uniquely identifies this IP interface on the associated physical interface, and it can be associated with any one of the interface types (that is, either primary, backup, or static) .
primary specifies that this interface is for the primary virtual router, and is the default if no parameter is entered. It is only active when both the primary virtual router is locally active, and the IP interface on the VRF is running (through the no shutdown Interface VRF IP command)
backup specifies that this interface is for the backup virtual router. It is only active when both the backup virtual router is locally active, and the IP interface on the VRF is running (through the no shutdown Interface VRF IP command)
static specifies that this is the static interface for the physical P-7500 system. It is always active irrespective of the virtual router activity. Clients cannot connect to the static interface if system redundancy is enabled.

<ip-interface> is an optional ASCII string in the form of <phy-interface>:<ip> that specifies the IP interface to be associated with the route. <ip> is a number from 1 to 3 that uniquely identifies this IP interface on the associated physical interface. Valid values are eth<port>:<ip> (for example, eth2:1)
The shutdown command does not have any parameters or subscommands.
