Question

There's a requirement to separate networks within an organization. What technology can be used while preserving hardware?

Options

AVirtual Context
BVRF

Explanation

Virtual Context (such as Cisco Virtual Device Context on Nexus switches or Security Contexts on ASA firewalls) partitions a single physical device into multiple independent virtual devices, each with its own interfaces, routing tables, and management plane. This achieves full network separation while reusing the same physical hardware. VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) also separates routing tables on a single device but does not fully virtualize the device into separate management contexts - it is a routing-layer separation only. Virtual Context provides a higher level of administrative and functional separation while preserving the physical hardware investment.
