Hi master. My customer has infrastructure Arista 2spine and 4leaf. They want to deploy new firewall Fortigate HA = 2 unit and Cloudvison appliance with MSS features. I’m reading and learn concept mss configuration on cvx and Fortigate, but there is something I’m not understanding about config mss on cvx. Arista Macro Segmentation Service integration with Fortinet Firewalls The link at the top, define command on cvx “type Fortinet fortimanager”My customer asks for me, how about not used /without the fortimanager? It is can used mss features, configuration or not? Please advise and share your experience and link recommended. Thanks Robma bayu

EVPN VXLAN Support for Wireless APs

Posted on August 24, 2020 by Mitchell Jameson | 57 Views

Description Typical WiFi networks utilize a single, central Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) to act as a gateway between the wireless APs and the wired network. Arista differentiates itself by allowing the wireless network to utilize a distributed set of aggregation switches to connect APs to the wired network. This feature allows a decentralized and distributed set of aggregation switches to bridge wireless traffic on behalf of the set of APs configured to VXLAN tunnel all traffic to those aggregation switches, or their “local” APs. This is an extension of the VXLAN VTEP to VTEP bridging feature (https://eos.arista.com/eos-4-22-1f/vxlan-vtep-to-vtep-bridging/) which supports only...

EVPN Control Plane Support for MSS

Posted on August 24, 2020 by Arup Raton Roy Roy | 85 Views

Description This feature enables support for Macro Segmentation Service (MSS) to insert security devices into the traffic path for VXLAN networks using an EVPN control plane. With this feature enabled, CVX will continue to monitor the network via NetDB state and will initiate intercept and offload rules. With this feature enabled, MAC and IP reachability information will be learned and distributed in user configured L2 domains via EVPN. There are two options for pairing MSS and EVPN: Option 1: MSS + EVPN asymmetric IRB Option 2: MSS + EVPN symmetric IRB with VXLAN bridging to firewall (see https://eos.arista.com/eos-4-20-1f/evpn-irb-with-vxlan-underlay/ for...

IPv6 Underlay Support for VXLAN With EVPN Control Plane

Posted on June 21, 2020 by Madhu Sudan | 91 Views

Description Several customers have expressed interest in using IPv6 addresses for VXLAN underlay in their Data Centers (DC). Prior to 4.24.1F, EOS only supported IPv4 addresses for VXLAN underlay, i.e., VTEPs were reachable via IPv4 addresses only. This feature enables a VTEP to send VXLAN Encapsulated packets using IPv6 underlay. The following list describes the capabilities of this feature. The feature is designed for a Greenfield deployment environment, i.e., an environment where all VTEPs communicate using IPv6 underlay only. In such deployments, the VTEPs must be configured with an IPv6 address on the VXLAN source interface. And all VTEP-VTEP VXLAN...

Scalable VXLAN/EVPN-MS

Posted on May 27, 2020 by Danail Petrov | 0 Views

G’day, I am looking for some guidance as well as real life experience, gotchas, etc (if someone has done something similar it will be great to hear some thoughts). I am working on a design of 50+ DCs, meaning I’ll have 50+ fabrics across the globe. The requirement is to support multi-tenancy across all the sites and the only “relief” here is I only need to support layer3! That being said, I am considering multi-site, multi-pod architecture running route-servers within and between all sites. My current idea is to have three major sites (regions) – US, EMEA & APAC. In...

EVPN Transit Route VRF Leaking

Posted on April 27, 2020 by alton | 349 Views

Description As described in the L3 EVPN VXLAN Configuration Guide, it is common practice to use Layer 3 EVPN to provide multi-tenancy within a datacenter. This is achieved by keeping each tenant’s prefixes in separate VRFs. In order to allow hosts from different VRFs to communicate with each other, a new mechanism lets the Spine act as a VTEP to which cross-VRF traffic will be directed for leaking. The Spine will: Import specific learned IP or IPv6 prefixes belonging to one VRF into another Advertise these leaked routes to relevant EVPN neighbors (Leafs) with itself as next-hop. Furthermore,...

EVPN Internetworking with IPVPN

Posted on March 5, 2020 by Jeffrey Nelson | 623 Views

Description This feature adds control-plane support for inter-subnet forwarding between EVPN and IPVPN networks. It also introduces a new BGP path-attribute, D-PATH, that may be used for loop prevention when internetworking between EVPN and IPVPN domains. The supported transport type for IPVPN networks is MPLS, while EVPN networks may use MPLS or VXLAN. The following diagram shows an example topology where a DC EVPN-VXLAN cloud is connected to an MPLS-VPN cloud via border leaf nodes peering with both EVPN and IPVPN. The MPLS-VPN cloud is then connected to a DC EVPN-MPLS cloud, where the border leaf nodes peer with both...

VXLAN Auto Flood-List Construction

Posted on November 12, 2019 by Jeffrey Nelson | 245 Views

Description VXLAN flood-lists are typically configured via CLI or learned via control plane sources such as EVPN. The introduction of wireless access points (APs) into the VXLAN data-plane and the desire to minimize AP configuration led to the introduction of a new feature to learn VXLAN flood-lists via the data-plane. When a VXLAN packet is received from a remote VTEP on a new VNI, that remote VTEP is added to the flood-list for that VNI. When all of the MACs behind a remote VTEP have aged out or been removed, that remote VTEP is no longer considered active and it...
