10. VXLAN EVPN Configuration Example1 Part2
VXLAN EVPN configuration example 1 is what we started in the previous section and continue in this section.
Details9. VXLAN EVPN Configuration Example1 Part1
After we have theoretically discussed many topics in VXLAN EVPN, including Control Plane, Data Plane, Anycast Gateway and BUM Handling, we will carry out the VXLAN EVPN configuration as the first scenario in this section.
Details8. Preparing laboratory for VXLAN EVPN Implementation using Nexus 9000v in VMware ESXi
In this section we prepare our laboratory for VXLAN EVPN implementation in VMWARE ESX environment with Nexus 9000v OVF.
Details7. L3 VNI and VXLAN Routing
How inter vlan routing works in VXLAN network ( VXLAN Rotuing )? in the last section with title “how VXLAN data plane works?”, we have shown how two nodes in the same VLAN communicate with each other in VXLAN network. in this section we discuss how inter-VLAN routing differs on a VXLAN network from a native Ethernet network and how L3 VNI helps to do inter-VLAN routing is VXLAN network.
Details6. VXLAN Data Plane : L2 Forwarding
How VXLAN data plane works? in other words how traffic is forwarded in VXLAN network? we have two type of traffic, When source and destination are in the same VLAN and when source and destination are in different VLAN. in this section we discuss L2 forwarding which two nodes in the same VLAN communicate with each other. In the next section we discuss inter vlan routing in VXLAN network.
Details5. VXLAN Anycast Gateway
VXLAN Anycast Gateway is one of the new and interesting features in which gateway, unlike native Ethernet networks, is not configured at a central point and in the distribution or aggregation layer. However, the gateway is distributed and configured in each leaf or access switches to which endpoints are directly connected. In this video we are going to discuss the anycast gateway in the VXLAN network in more detail.
Details4. VXLAN EVPN BUM Traffic Handling: Route Type 3
There are two methods of handling VXLAN EVPN BUM Traffic. The first and optimal method is to enable multicast routing on the L3 underlay IP network. With this method, just one copy of the BUM traffic is multicast routed to all leaf switches that have an active VNI in the same VNI of the BUM traffic. In the second method, multicast routing is not enabled in the network. The MP-BGP route type 3 is used in leaf switches to notify a VNI membership. The second method is to replicate and unicast multiple copy of the BUM traffic to leaf switches with VNI membership in the same VNI of the BUM traffic.in this video, we will discuss the details concept of these two methods. in the next few videos, we will implement both methods.
Details3. VXLAN EVPN control plane: Route Type 2
In VXLAN EVPN control plane, as you know, MAC addresses are advertised and learned between leaf switches via MP-BGP protocol, which make it possible to learn MAC addresses in the control plane. MP-BGP has some specific route types for the EVPN address family, which makes the VXLAN EVPN technology to work. In this video we have an overview of some of these route types. We get to know, in detail, the most popular route type, route type 2, which is for L2 connectivity. we will also introduce other route types but we learn them in detail during the course and in the next videos.
Details2. leaf and spine architecture
VXLAN technology is used in the leaf and spine architecture and not in the traditional access aggregation network architecture. In this video, we compare these two technologies and discuss the advantages of the leaf and spine architecture.
