Routing

I need some help with understanding how inter-vrf routing works. i need to be able to ping hosts in X_VRF from a source address in the Y_VRF. My desired source host (Solarwinds) is in a seperate VRF than the end host it is trying to ping. How can this be easily accomplished. Hopefully the below can help clarify.

set routing-instances X_VRF instance-type vrf
set routing-instances X_VRF interface ae0.0
set routing-instances X_VRF interface ae1.0
set routing-instances X_VRF interface lo0.3

set routing-instances X_VRF protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface lo0.3 passive
set routing-instances X_VRF protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface ae0.0 metric 2

To clarify, Solarwinds is in the Y_VRF. My seat is also in the Y_VRF so I can use that as source for ping as well. Thanks!

If you want communication from one VRF to other VRF on same Router, why dont you use Virtual Router and have an lt between them.

VRF is used in an MPLS/VPN (  L3VPN )and virtual router is to have separate routing table.

I am assuming you want to keep X and Y users in different Routing Tables.
