Problem with CVX EVPN and other vendor

Posted on September 2, 2021 by Stanislav Tretiakov | 0 Views

Hi! I have full Arista VXLAN network with CVX as a controller with “service vxlan” and BGP EVPN between different CVX for DCI. Now I need to interconnect another vendor leaf switches to CVX via BGP EVPN. And got a problem. When I recive mac-ip route from other CVX via EVPN, then advertise this route to “service vxlan” is great work, but when I recive mac-ip route from other vendors then this route don’t advertise to “service vxlan”. Route wich I recive from other CVX and work: CVX-1(config)#show bgp neighbors 10.102.0.2 evpn received-routes route-type mac-ip fa16.3e6b.aa20 detail BGP routing table...

VXLAN Decapsulation on default VRF Only

Posted on September 1, 2021 by Terence Hui | 74 Views

Description Current VXLAN decapsulation logic requires the following hits on affected switches listed in the following paragraph: Outer VXLAN header DMAC = bridgemac. Outer VXLAN header UDP port = VXLAN udp port. Outer VXLAN header DIP = VTEP IP. VNI on Outer VXLAN header is configured on the VTEP. The current decapsulation logic does not consider the VRF of the interface the packet came in on. This has led to security issues such as Security Advisory 0055. The fix for SA55 was to simply disable VXLAN decapsulation on an interface if it could receive any non-default VRF traffic. This however...

PVLAN and VxLAN with EVPN

Posted on June 21, 2021 by Rohit Maurya Maurya | 347 Views

Description A private VLAN partitions the Layer 2 broadcast domain of a VLAN into subdomains. It allows isolating the ports on the switch from each other. A subdomain consists of a primary VLAN and one or more secondary VLANs (Private vlans). All secondary VLAN share the same primary VLAN. The secondary VLAN ID differentiates one subdomain from another. The secondary VLANs may either be isolated VLANs or community VLANs. VxLAN with EVPN is used to extend the PVLAN domain to remote locations. Types of VLANs We use below terminologies to describe the type of VLANs in PVLAN domain. Primary VLAN:...

Multi-Domain EVPN VXLAN

Posted on June 21, 2021 by Jeffrey Nelson | 616 Views

Description This feature provides the ability to interconnect EVPN VXLAN domains. Domains may or may not be within the same data center network, and the decision to stretch/interconnect a subnet between domains is configurable. The following diagram shows a multi-domain deployment using symmetric IRB. Note that two domains are shown for simplicity, but this solution supports any number of domains. Within domain #1 and domain #2, VTEPs exchange EVPN reachability as normal. Between domains, gateway nodes advertise intra-domain EVPN routes with the gateway inserting itself as the nexthop. From the perspective of a gateway node, there is the local EVPN...

I have 4 leaf ,2 border leaf ,2 routers as below. There are 3 VRFs in leaf1-4. r1/r2 advertise default route 0/0 to bl1/2. what vrf should I put gi1 in bl1/2? Should I create 3 vrfs in bl1/2 too? or create the 4th vrf? I want to advertise 0/0 to all vrfs so leaf1-4 know how to reach internet. leaf1———– | leaf2———–|spine1———– bl1 gi1———–r1 leaf3———–|spine2———– -bl2 gi1———–r2 leaf4———–|

PVLAN over VXLAN>

Posted on June 2, 2021 by Michael Johnson | 0 Views

Hi, We have a requirement to extend an isolated PVLAN over the EVPN fabric with Centralized GWs. We wanted to understand what are the best options to block peer to peer communication over EVPN with a centralized GW fabric. I read some previous posts to the forum, but could not validate whether or not PVLAN isolation over VXLAN w/ Centralized Gateway is supported? Can someone confirm? I don’t want to go down to far into a rabbit hole. Thanks.

Dual Stack Underlay Support for VXLAN with EVPN Control Plane

Posted on April 26, 2021 by Madhu Sudan | 252 Views

Description This feature allows a Data Center (DC) operator to incrementally migrate their VXLAN network from IPv4 to IPv6 underlay when using the EVPN control plane. It is meant for brownfield deployments where operators are considering transitioning their VXLAN network to IPv6 underlay but do not want to migrate their whole network at the same time. This feature allows them to migrate parts of their network to IPv6 and leave the rest of the network untouched, without any overlay network partitioning. The incremental transition is achieved using the concept of a dual-stack VTEP. Dual Stack VTEPs and incremental migration A...

VxLAN DSCP Mapping

Posted on April 15, 2021 by Swaroop | 208 Views

Description This feature allows selecting Differentiated Services Code Point ( DSCP ) and Traffic Class ( TC ) values for packets at VTEPs ( VxLAN Tunnel Endpoint) along VxLan encapsulation and decapsulation directions respectively. DSCP is a field in IP Header and TC is a tag associated with a packet within the switch, both influence the Quality of Service the packet receives. This feature can be enabled via configuration as explained later in this document. In the encapsulation direction, an incoming packet from an edge port is encapsulated with a new IP and VxLan header before being sent out to...

Support BGP PIC edge for EVPN VXLAN routes for remote VTEP failures

Posted on February 22, 2021 by Matthew Carrington-Fair | 222 Views

Description Prior to 4.25.2F, support for BGP PIC was restricted to locally identifiable failures such as link failures. If a remote VTEP went down, this would require action by the IGP and BGP to recompute a new best path traffic destined to affected BGP prefixes originally reachable by the problematic VTEP. This feature introduces support for RFC8971 (BFD for VXLAN) for EVPN learned VTEPs to improve convergence times in these scenarios by tying the liveness detection provided by the BFD sessions into existing BGP PIC support for software fast-failover. Without this feature, until the underlay route providing reachability to the...

VxLAN VTEP counters on 7020R, 7280R, 7280R2, 7280R3, 7500R, 7500R2, and 7500R3 series

Posted on December 18, 2020 by Bin Wang | 143 Views

Description The VxLAN VTEP counters feature allows the device to count VxLAN packets received and sent by the device on a per VTEP basis. Specifically, it enables the device to count bytes and packets that are encapsulated and decapsulated as they are passing through. The counters are logically split up in the two VxLAN directions: “encap” counters count packets coming from the edge, encapsulated on the device and directed to the core “decap” counters count packets coming from the core, decapsulated on the device and heading towards the edge. To be able to count VxLAN packets the device has to...

Multiple VXLAN to interface

Posted on December 15, 2020 by saverio giuntini | 0 Views

Hello, I’m testing vEOS with basic flood-and-learn VXLAN topology. Is it possible to assign multiple VXLAN to a single interface? i.e. int Et1: untagged frames are mapped to VNI xxxx tagged frames (vlan 123) are mapped to VNI yyyy tagged frames (vlan 456) are mapped to VNI zzzz so that on the linux end host, the configuration will be something like: eth0: public_ip/32 gw: virtual_gw Vlan.123: private_subnet Vlan.456: private_subnet

Head-End-Replicated DHCP Packets Suppression in VXLAN Network

Posted on December 9, 2020 by Saurav Arora | 386 Views

Description In VXLAN networks, broadcast DHCP requests are head-end-replicated to all VXLAN tunnel endpoints (VTEP). If a DHCP relay helper address is configured on more than one VTEP, each such VTEP relays the DHCP request to the configured DHCP server. This could potentially overwhelm the DHCP server as it would receive multiple copies of broadcast packets originated from a host connected to one of the VTEPs. In Figure 1, a DHCP request from DHCP Client1 is head-end-replicated to all VTEPs. DHCP Relay on VTEPs B and C will also forward this request to the DHCP server, resulting in three copies...

EVPN L3 Gateway

Posted on October 28, 2020 by Jeffrey Nelson | 1334 Views

Description This feature adds control plane support for inter-subnet forwarding between EVPN networks. This support is achieved by advertising received EVPN IP Prefix routes (Type-5) with next-hop self. VXLAN and MPLS encapsulation are supported, and the encapsulation type used for advertised routes is dependent on the encapsulation type configured for EVPN peering. The following diagram shows an example topology where an EVPN VXLAN network exchanges Type-5 routes with an EVPN MPLS network. Within the EVPN VXLAN and EVPN MPLS network, EVPN routes are exchanged as normal. The L3 gateway functionality is achieved by GW1/2 and GW3/4 advertising received type-5...

EVPN VXLAN single-gateway centralized routing

Posted on October 28, 2020 by Aaron Bamberger | 651 Views

Description In a traditional EVPN VXLAN centralized anycast gateway deployment, multiple L3 VTEPs serve the role of the centralized anycast gateway. In order for hosts to have a consistent ARP binding for any of the individual centralized gateway VTEPs, each VTEP operating as a centralized gateway is configured with a virtual router MAC (VARP MAC), and a virtual VTEP IP (VARP VTEP IP), that is shared between all of the L3 VTEPs operating as centralized gateways. Each centralized gateway VTEP also advertises an EVPN type-3 route for both its primary VTEP IP and VARP VTEP IP, so both IPs end...
