CCNP-Route: VRF-Lite - % VRF practice not configured. - Unknown vrf specified

Hi Everyone,
I'm baffled by this one. I am running a Cisco 2600IOS, Ver 12.2(24) in GNS3 when I try to configure VRF-Lite, I get these errors:

R3(config)#ip vrf practice
R3(config-vrf)#exit
R3(config)#
R3(config)#int e1/1
R3(config-if)#ip vrf forwarding practice
% VRF practice not configured.
R3(config-if)#
R3(config-if)#exit
R3(config)#router ospf 1 vrf
R3(config)#router ospf 1 vrf practice
Unknown VRF specified
R3(config)#

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Node

Depending on what version IOS you have, it may not support VRF.

Have you tried any troubleshooting with ip vrf show commands? Have you tried a different image?

Might need to configure an RD on that first for it to work.

I would change IOS or try it on a different router. Your code is fine. I noticed in GNS 3 in some IOS builds, specifically VRF feature doesn't work properly or essential commands are missing.

HI Everybody,
Thanks for the responses. VRF worked on a different IOS.
