# Selecting and launching a VRF context view

Use this procedure to switch to another VRF context view when you use EDM. GlobalRouter is the default view at log in. You can configure both Global Router (GRT) and Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instances when you launch a VRF context view. You can open only five tabs for each EDM session.

Important

If you log out from the GRT view, the system generates a warning: all tabs close and your session terminates. If you close a VRF view tab, you close only that view.

Note

The Set VRF Context view function is not available to users in a service provider deployment where only a tenant VRF view is assigned. If you use a tenant VRF view, Avaya recommends that you use the applicable EDM plugin with COM to access EDM. COM provides VRF mapping and Role-Based Access Control.

## Procedure steps

1. From the navigation pane, double-click VRF Context View.

2. In the VRF Context View tree, click Set VRF Context View.

3. In the Set VRF Context View work area, click the VRF tab.

4. Select a context to view.

5. Click Launch VRF Context view.
