Correct answer: Configure matching route‑target export on VRF‑B and route‑target import on VRF‑A so MP‑BGP carries and imports the routes., Create static ip route entries in VRF‑A that point to next‑hops reachable in VRF‑B or a shared gateway interface..
Why this is the answer
To share routes between two VRFs on a single PE router, two primary methods are used. First, you can configure route targets. By exporting a route target from VRF-B and importing the same route target into VRF-A, MP-BGP will carry the routes from VRF-B and make them available in VRF-A's routing table. This is a common and scalable method for inter-VRF route leaking. Second, for simpler scenarios or specific routes, you can use static routes. Creating a static route in VRF-A that points to a next-hop address reachable within VRF-B (or through a shared interface/subinterface) effectively leaks that specific route. LDP is a signaling protocol for MPLS labels, not for leaking IP routes between VRFs. CE routers typically do not run MP-BGP directly with the PE for inter-VRF route leaking; their role is to peer with the PE within a single VRF.
