I only have experience with VRF 0.100 but I think it should be the same in=
=20
all versions: No, I don't think it is possible to have one network device=
=20
in multiple VRF instances. What would be the semantics of such a=20
configuration? I mean, the device and its VRF ID specify for each incoming=
=20
frame by which VRF instance it should be processed. So if you would have=20
more than exactly one ID, which VRF instance should process the frame?=20
Maybe cloning the frame for each instance and thus having some kind of=20
multicast would be possible. I guess, it depends on what you are trying to=
=20
achieve.
