Andre, For lab purposes make it simple.. The less you have to think about it the better.. Follow the guidelines given in the lab..
In real use I have used the foliowing as my guidelines: (PS - The majority of my interfaces are SVI's so this fits well.. I am sure others have specific ways to accomplish similar) VRF Name = Something that distinguishes the identity clearly so I know what it relates to in show commands RD = [IPv4 LoX address]:[VLAN-ID] RT = [assigned AS]:[VLAN-ID] I do this mostly so that I can easily identify where the routes are coming from and which particular BGP AS/Peer sent the routes. I think the main goal is to create a scenario that helps you make sense of the routes and source. Just remember, in the lab, do whatever it says to do, and if it doesn't state how to do it, keep it simple and fast as time is of the utmost importance.
