Create a VRF and Bridge Domain

A tenant requires a VRF for all bridge domains and subnets. In this example, you will create a single, common VRF for the firewall and endpoints. Then configure a dedicated bridge domain for your firewall and disable dataplane learning. Disabling dataplane learning is required to use Policy Based Redirect in a bridge domain.

1. On the Tenants tab, double-click on the name of your tenant.
2. Select NetworkingVRFs.
3. Right-click VRFs and select Create VRF.
4. Enter a descriptive Name for your VRF.
5. Clear the Create A Bridge Domain check box.
