Description of problem:

The customer from cases 02755654 and 02756898 would like to request the implementation of Virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) in RHEL 7.X, due to the business system being approved only in version 7 of RHEL

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

We're not taking any new features on RHEL7 anymore. Please work with the customer
in getting their systems upgraded to RHEL8.
Sorry, but nothing we can do here.
