VRF is nothing but RD in F5. There is no IP conflicts happen here.

 

Example. you have a two web servers, one at vlan100 and other at vlan200. let us say if you are using a firewall acting a default GW for F5 then for users in VLAN 100 return traffic should go via vlan100 interface in Firewall and for the same situation for vlan 200 users as well. if you do not use VRF (Route domains in F5) routing, then firewall will block return traffic from F5. So in this scenario we should use RD in F5 to solve this problem.

 

Cheers, Kommi
