There are few options for you to route the traffic between VRFs. Below are two of them:

  • The first option is to use MP-BGP (Multiprotocol BGP) with RD (Route Distinguisher) and RTs (Route Targets).
  • The second option is to use static routes and make use the global (default) routing table. I wrote a blog post about this option on my blog Netlabbuilder.

There is a nice post about these two options from Routing-Bits.

However, I would suggest you not to do that if you do not clearly understand how it works and what you want to achieve. This would result in issues while you set it up and troubleshoot them later.
