Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) in a computing environments. In one example, a management service identifies a registration or import of a route target (RT) to communicate in a VRF and identifies a first unique identifier associated with the RT. The management service further identifies a second unique identifier associated with the VRF and compares the first unique identifier to the second unique identifier. When the unique identifiers match, the management service determines that intra-VRF encryption is required for the communication. In contrast, when the unique identifiers do not match, then the management service determine that inter-VRF encryption is required for the communication.
