VXLAN IRB
 
Symptom/Cause
Solution
"l3vnid <value>" is not successful
Ensure that the VXLAN IRB is enabled.
(config)# nvo vxlan irb
"evpn <irb_interface>" is not successful
• Ensure that the IRB interface which you are trying to map is configured. Use the below command to configure.
(config)# interface irb 1
(config-if)# ip vrf vrf1
• Ensure that ip vrf forwarding <vrf-name> (VRF should have L3VNID) is configured in the IRB interface which you are trying to map to the L2VNID.
Use the below command to configure.
(config)# ip vrf vrf1
(config-vrf)# l3vni 12001
IRB interface is DOWN
• Ensure that IRB interface is not administratively shut down.
• Ensure that IRB interface is mapped to the L2 VNID.
Use the show command to verify the IRB - L2 VNI mapping "show nvo vxlan l3vni-mp"
 
If not use the below command to configure.
(config)#nvo vxlan id 10 ingress-replication inner-vid-disabled
(config-nvo)#evpn irb1
 
L3 Tunnel installation is unsuccessful.
Ensure that Prefix routes are installed in the VRF (VRF should have L3 VNID) Routing Table.
#show ip route vrf <vrf_name>
#show arp vrf <vrf_name>
#show nvo vxlan
Missing routes in the VRF routing table.
Both connected and static.
• Ensure that IRB interfaces are UP and running.
• Ensure that L3 Tunnel is UP and Running.
• Ensure that "redistribute connected" is configured in the VRF address family to advertise the connected route.
• Ensure that "redistribute static" is configured in the VRF address family to advertise the static route.
• Ensure that if route is inactive in VRF routing database, then check that ARP resolution is successful for the next-hop for those routes.
Symmetric Config:
L3 traffic not flowing from one VNID to another VNID
• Ensure that all the interfaces are up and running including the IRB interfaces.
• Ensure that ARP of that Host is resolved and added in "show arp vrf <vrf-table>" for both Local and Remote Host.
• Ensure that destination routes are installed on the source VTEP using "show ip bgp vrf all" and "show ip route vrf all".
Asymmetric Config:
L3 traffic not flowing from one VNID to another VNID
• Ensure that all the interfaces are up and running including the IRB interfaces.
• Ensure that ARP of that Host is resolved and added in "show arp vrf <vrf-table>" for both Local and Remote Host.
