The vRouter uses FTP that contains several commands. If the network configuration supports VRF, the syntax for each command includes optional VRF parameters. The optional VRF parameters specify the non-default VRF that is used when running the command.

FTPs used in commands that support non-default VRFs must access servers on non-default VRFs. Therefore, commands that support non-default VRF also must also be aware of the VRF parameter that is used in the configuration.

For example, a customer may have vRouter images stored on a server in the non-default VRF; so, the add system image command must be able to download from that server. The add system image command sytax consists of the routing instance parameter that specifies the non-default VRF that is used. The command follows:

vyatta@R1# add system image { iso-filename | [routing-instance <ri-name>] iso-URL [ username username password password ] }

vyatta@R1# add system image routing-instance red http://1.2.3.4/images/vrouter.iso
