This read-create string holds the human-readable name that uniquely identifies a VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) instance on the device, and it is mandatory when creating a row in the VRF table. An administrator relies on this name to distinguish one VRF from another when configuring or auditing separate routing tables on a multi-tenant or MPLS-enabled router. For example, a service provider might see VRFs named CUSTOMER-A and CUSTOMER-B and use this object to confirm which VRF instance a given management action applies to.
