VXLAN-EVPN Configuration
This section contains basic VXLAN-EVPN configuration examples.
VXLAN (Virtual eXtended LAN) creates LAN segments using a MAC-in-IP encapsulation. The encapsulation carries the original L2 frame received from a host to the destination in another host using IP tunnels. The endpoints of the virtualized tunnel formed using VXLAN are called VTEPs (VXLAN Tunnel End Points). The VTEPs carry tenant data in L3 tunnels over the network which permits the network to support multiple tenants.The tenant data is not used in routing or switching. This aids in tenant machine movement and allows the tenants to have same IP/MAC addresses.
Information about the given VM to get to the VTEP is crucial in VXLAN protocol; therefore BGP-MP is used to carry this information across VTEPS.
Note: For port-channel/Static-channel interface, storm control will be applied on each member port. For Example: if Interface eth1 and interface eth2 is part of port-channel i.e. po1 and storm control 2mbps is applied for broadcast traffic, then the storm control settings will be applied on each member port and broadcast traffic on each member port will be rate limited to 2mbps each.
