Abstract: Multi-VRF universal device Internet Protocol (IP) address for fabric edge devices may be provided. This address may be used to send and receive packets in a connectivity message for all VRFs on a fabric edge device. First, a request packet may be created by a first network device in response to receiving a connectivity message. The request packet may have a source address corresponding to an address of the first network device and a destination address corresponding to an address of a first client device. Next, the first network device may encapsulate the request packet. The first network device may then forward the encapsulated request packet to a second network device associated with the first client device.
