You cannot enslave the same sub-interface eth1.55 to both VRF's at the
same time. :-1:

Without L3VPN support. You *must* setup one interface per vrf.

   R1  [eth1.55]-------------------------[eth1.55]  R2
   R1  [eth1.56]-------------------------[eth1.56]  R2

Example,

ip link set dev eth1.55 master red
ip link set dev eth1.56 master blue
