Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) is a Layer 2 VPN technology that provides both Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity between distant network sites across an IP network. EVPN uses MP-BGP in the control plane and VXLAN in the data plane. EVPN is typically used in data centers for multitenant services.

EVPN provides the following benefits:

· Configuration automation—MP-BGP automates VTEP discovery, VXLAN tunnel establishment, and VXLAN tunnel assignment to ease deployment.

· Separation of the control plane and the data plane—EVPN uses MP-BGP to advertise host reachability information in the control plane and uses VXLAN to forward traffic in the data plane.

· Integrated routing and bridging (IRB)—MP-BGP advertises both Layer 2 and Layer 3 host reachability information to provide optimal forwarding paths and minimize flooding.

EVPN network model

As shown in Figure 1, EVPN uses the VXLAN technology for traffic forwarding in the data plane. The transport edge devices assign user terminals to different VXLANs, and then forward traffic between sites for user terminals by using VXLAN tunnels. The transport edge devices are VXLAN tunnel endpoints (VTEPs).

Supported user terminals include PCs, wireless terminals, and VMs on servers.

NOTE:

This document uses VMs as examples to describe the mechanisms of EVPN. The mechanisms do not differ between different kinds of user terminals.

A VTEP uses ESs, VSIs, and VXLAN tunnels to provide VXLAN services:

· Ethernet segment (ES)—An ES is a link that connects a site to a VTEP. Each ES is uniquely identified by an Ethernet segment identifier (ESI). A site can be connected to a VTEP through only one ES. The ES uses ESI 0.

· VSI—A virtual switch instance is a virtual Layer 2 switched domain. Each VSI provides switching services only for one VXLAN. VSIs learn MAC addresses and forward frames independently of one another. User terminals in different sites have Layer 2 connectivity if they are in the same VXLAN. A VXLAN is identified by a 24-bit VXLAN ID which is also called the virtual network identifier (VNI). A VXLAN corresponds to an EVPN instance.

· VXLAN tunnel—Logical point-to-point tunnels between VTEPs over the transport network. Each VXLAN tunnel can trunk multiple VXLANs.

All VXLAN processing is performed on VTEPs. The ingress VTEP encapsulates VXLAN traffic in the VXLAN, outer UDP, and outer IP headers, and forwards the traffic through VXLAN tunnels. The egress VTEP removes the VXLAN encapsulation and forwards the traffic to the destination. Transport network devices (for example, the P device in Figure 1) forward VXLAN traffic only based on the outer IP header of VXLAN packets.

Figure 1 EVPN network model

Layered transport network

As shown in Figure 2, typically the EVPN transport network uses a layered structure. On the transport network, leaf nodes act as VTEPs to provide VXLAN services, and spine nodes perform forwarding for VXLAN traffic based on the outer IP header. If all VTEPs and transport network devices of an EVPN network belong to the same AS, the spine nodes can act as route reflectors (RRs) to reflect routes between the VTEPs. In this scenario, the spine nodes advertise and receive BGP EVPN routes, but do not perform VXLAN encapsulation and de-encapsulation.

Figure 2 Layered transport network

MP-BGP extension for EVPN

To support EVPN, MP-BGP introduces the EVPN subsequent address family under the L2VPN address family and the following network layer reachability information (BGP EVPN routes):

· Ethernet auto-discovery route—Advertises ES information in multihomed sites.

· MAC/IP advertisement route—Advertises MAC reachability information and host route information (host ARP or ND information).

· Inclusive multicast Ethernet tag (IMET) route—Advertises VTEP and VXLAN mappings for automating VTEP discovery, VXLAN tunnel establishment, and VXLAN tunnel assignment.

· Ethernet segment route—Advertises ES and VTEP mappings.

· IP prefix advertisement route—Advertises BGP IPv4 or IPv6 unicast routes as IP prefixes.

The current software version does not support Ethernet auto-discovery routes and ES routes.

MP-BGP uses the route distinguisher (RD) field to differentiate BGP EVPN routes of different VXLANs and uses route targets to control the advertisement and acceptance of BGP EVPN routes. MP-BGP supports the following types of route targets:

· Export target—A VTEP sets the export targets for BGP EVPN routes learned from the local site before advertising them to remote VTEPs.

· Import target—A VTEP checks the export targets of BGP EVPN routes received from remote VTEPs. The VTEP imports the BGP EVPN routes only when their export targets match the local import targets.

Configuration automation

VTEPs use BGP EVPN routes to discover VTEP neighbors, establish VXLAN tunnels, and assign the tunnels to VXLANs.

· IMET route—VTEPs advertise the VXLAN IDs they have through IMET routes. If two VTEPs have the same VXLAN ID, they automatically establish a VXLAN tunnel and assign the tunnel to the VXLAN.

· MAC/IP advertisement route and IP prefix advertisement route—In the EVPN gateway deployment, VTEPs advertise MAC/IP advertisement routes or IP prefix advertisement routes with the export targets. When a VTEP receives a route, it compares the export targets of the route with the local import targets. If the route targets match, the VTEP establishes a VXLAN tunnel with the remote VTEP and associates the tunnel with the L3 VXLAN ID of the corresponding VPN instance. For more information about the L3 VXLAN ID, see "Distributed EVPN gateway deployment."

Assignment of traffic to VXLANs

Traffic from the local site to a remote site

The VTEP uses an Ethernet service instance to match customer traffic on a site-facing interface. The VTEP assigns customer traffic to a VXLAN by mapping the Ethernet service instance to a VSI.

An Ethernet service instance is identical to an attachment circuit (AC) in L2VPN. An Ethernet service instance matches a list of VLANs on a Layer 2 Ethernet interface by using a frame match criterion. The frame match criterion specifies the characteristics of traffic from the VLANs, such as tagging status and VLAN IDs.

As shown in Figure 3, Ethernet service instance 1 matches VLAN 2 and is mapped to VSI A (VXLAN 10). When a frame from VLAN 2 arrives, the VTEP assigns the frame to VXLAN 10, and looks up VSI A's MAC address table for the outgoing interface.

Figure 3 Identifying traffic from the local site

Traffic from a remote site to the local site

When a VXLAN packet arrives at a VXLAN tunnel interface, the VTEP uses the VXLAN ID in the packet to identify its VXLAN.

Layer 2 forwarding

MAC learning

The VTEP performs Layer 2 forwarding based on a VSI's MAC address table. The VTEP learns MAC addresses by using the following methods:

· Local MAC learning—The VTEP automatically learns the source MAC addresses of frames sent from the local site. The outgoing interfaces of local MAC address entries are site-facing interfaces on which the MAC addresses are learned.

· Remote MAC learning—The VTEP uses MP-BGP to advertise local MAC reachability information to remote sites and learn MAC reachability information from remote sites. The outgoing interfaces of MAC address entries advertised from a remote site are VXLAN tunnel interfaces.

Unicast

As shown in Figure 4, the VTEP performs typical Layer 2 forwarding for known unicast traffic within the local site.

Figure 4 Intra-site unicast

As shown in Figure 5, the following process applies to a known unicast frame between sites:

1. The source VTEP encapsulates the Ethernet frame in the VXLAN/UDP/IP header.

In the outer IP header, the source IP address is the source VTEP's VXLAN tunnel source IP address. The destination IP address is the VXLAN tunnel destination IP address.

2. The source VTEP forwards the encapsulated packet out of the outgoing VXLAN tunnel interface found in the VSI's MAC address table.

3. The intermediate transport devices (P devices) forward the packet to the destination VTEP by using the outer IP header.

4. The destination VTEP removes the headers on top of the inner Ethernet frame. It then performs MAC address table lookup in the VXLAN's VSI to forward the frame out of the matching outgoing interface.

Figure 5 Inter-site unicast

Flood

As shown in Figure 6, a VTEP floods a broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast frame to all site-facing interfaces and VXLAN tunnels in the VXLAN, except for the incoming interface. The source VTEP replicates the flood frame, and then sends one replica to the destination IP address of each VXLAN tunnel in the VXLAN. Each destination VTEP floods the inner Ethernet frame to all the site-facing interfaces in the VXLAN. To avoid loops, the destination VTEPs do not flood the frame to VXLAN tunnels.

Figure 6 Forwarding of flood traffic

Layer 3 forwarding

EVPN uses EVPN gateways to provide Layer 3 forwarding services for hosts in VXLANs. EVPN provides the following EVPN gateway placement designs:

· Centralized EVPN gateway deployment—Use one VTEP to provide Layer 3 forwarding for VXLANs. Typically, the gateway-collocated VTEP connects to other VTEPs and the external network. To use this design, make sure the gateway has sufficient bandwidth and processing capability.

· Distributed EVPN gateway deployment—Deploy one EVPN gateway on each VTEP to provide Layer 3 forwarding for VXLANs at their respective sites. This design distributes the Layer 3 traffic load across VTEPs. However, its configuration is more complex than the centralized EVPN gateway design.

In either design, the gateways use virtual Layer 3 VSI interfaces as gateway interfaces for VXLANs.

NOTE:

A centralized EVPN gateway can provide services only for IPv4 sites. A distributed EVPN gateway can provide services for both IPv4 sites and IPv6 sites. This section uses IPv4 sites as examples to describe the Layer 3 forwarding process of EVPN networks.

Centralized EVPN gateway deployment

As shown in Figure 7, a VTEP acts as a gateway for VMs in the VXLANs. The VTEP both terminates the VXLANs and performs Layer 3 forwarding for the VMs. The network uses the following process to forward Layer 3 traffic from a VM to the destination:

1. The VM sends an ARP request to obtain the MAC address of the VSI interface that acts as the gateway, and then sends the Layer 3 traffic to the centralized EVPN gateway.

2. The local VTEP looks up the matching VSI's MAC address table and forwards the traffic to the centralized EVPN gateway through a VXLAN tunnel.

3. The centralized EVPN gateway removes the VXLAN encapsulation and forwards the traffic at Layer 3.

4. The centralized EVPN gateway forwards the replies sent by the destination node to the VM based on the ARP entry for the VM.

Figure 7 Example of centralized EVPN gateway deployment

Distributed EVPN gateway deployment

About distributed EVPN gateway deployment

As shown in Figure 8, each site's VTEP acts as a gateway to perform Layer 3 forwarding for the VXLANs of the local site. A VTEP acts as a border gateway to the Layer 3 network for the VXLANs.

Figure 8 Distributed EVPN gateway placement design

‌

Symmetric IRB

A distributed EVPN gateway uses symmetric IRB for Layer 3 forwarding, which means both the ingress and egress gateways perform Layer 2 and Layer 3 lookups. Symmetric IRB introduces the following concepts:

· L3 VXLAN ID—Also called L3 VNI. An L3 VXLAN ID identifies the traffic of a routing domain where devices have Layer 3 reachability. An L3 VXLAN ID is associated with one VPN instance. Distributed EVPN gateways use VPN instances to isolate traffic of different services on VXLAN tunnel interfaces.

· Router MAC address—Each distributed EVPN gateway has a unique router MAC address used for inter-gateway forwarding. The MAC addresses in the inner Ethernet header of VXLAN packets are router MAC addresses of distributed EVPN gateways.

VSI interfaces

As shown in Figure 9, each distributed EVPN gateway has the following types of VSI interfaces:

· VSI interface as a gateway interface of a VXLAN—The VSI interface acts as the gateway interface for VMs in a VXLAN. The VSI interface is associated with a VSI and a VPN instance. On different distributed EVPN gateways, the VSI interface of a VXLAN use the same IP address to provide services.

· VSI interface associated with an L3 VXLAN ID—The VSI interface is associated with a VPN instance and assigned an L3 VXLAN ID. VSI interfaces associated with the same VPN instance share an L3 VXLAN ID.

A border gateway only has VSI interfaces that are associated with an L3 VXLAN ID.

Figure 9 Example of distributed EVPN gateway deployment

‌

Layer 3 forwarding entry learning

A distributed EVPN gateway forwards Layer 3 traffic based on FIB entries generated from BGP EVPN routes and ARP information.

A VTEP advertises an external route imported in the EVPN address family through MP-BGP. A remote VTEP adds the route to the FIB table of a VPN instance based on the L3 VXLAN ID carried in the route. In the FIB entry, the outgoing interface is a VXLAN tunnel interface, and the next hop is the peer VTEP address in the NEXT_HOP attribute of the route.

A VTEP has the following types of ARP information:

· Local ARP information—ARP information of VMs in the local site. The VTEP snoops GARP packets, RARP packets, and ARP requests for the gateway MAC address to learn the ARP information of the senders and generates ARP entries and FIB entries. In an ARP or FIB entry, the outgoing interface is the site-facing interface where the packet is received, and the VPN instance is the instance associated with the corresponding VSI interface.

· Remote ARP information—ARP information of VMs in remote sites. Each VTEP uses MP-BGP to advertise its local ARP information with L3 VXLAN IDs in routes to remote sites. A VTEP generates only FIB entries for the remote ARP information. A FIB entry contains the following information:

¡ Outgoing interface: VSI interface associated with the L3 VXLAN ID.

¡ Next hop: Peer VTEP address in the NEXT_HOP attribute of the route.

¡ VPN instance: VPN instance associated with the L3 VXLAN ID.

The VTEP then creates an ARP entry for the next hop in the FIB entry.

Traffic forwarding

A distributed EVPN gateway can work in one of the following mode:

· Switching and routing mode—Forwards Layer 2 traffic based on the MAC address table and forwards Layer 3 traffic based on the FIB table. In this mode, you need to enable ARP flood suppression on the distributed EVPN gateway to reduce flooding.

· Routing mode— Forwards both Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic based on the FIB table. In this mode, you need to enable local proxy ARP on the distributed EVPN gateway.

For more information about MAC address table-based Layer 2 forwarding, see "Unicast."

Figure 10 shows the intra-site Layer 3 forwarding process.

1. The source VM sends an ARP request to obtain the MAC address of the destination VM.

2. The gateway replies to the source VM with the MAC address of the VSI interface associated with the source VM's VSI.

3. The source VM sends a Layer 3 packet to the gateway.

4. The gateway looks up the FIB table of the VPN instance associated with the source VM's VSI and finds the matching outgoing site-facing interface.

5. The gateway processes the Ethernet header of the Layer 3 packet as follows:

¡ Replaces the destination MAC address with the destination VM's MAC address.

¡ Replaces the source MAC address with the VSI interface's MAC address.

6. The gateway forwards the Layer 3 packet to the destination VM.

Figure 10 Intra-site Layer 3 forwarding

Figure 11 shows the inter-site Layer 3 forwarding process.

1. The source VM sends an ARP request to obtain the MAC address of the destination VM.

2. The gateway replies to the source VM with the MAC address of the VSI interface associated with the source VM's VSI.

3. The source VM sends a Layer 3 packet to the gateway.

4. The gateway looks up the FIB table of the VPN instance associated with the source VM's VSI and finds the matching outgoing VSI interface.

5. The gateway processes the Ethernet header of the Layer 3 packet as follows:

¡ Replaces the destination MAC address with the destination gateway's router MAC address.

¡ Replaces the source MAC address with its own router MAC address.

6. The gateway adds VXLAN encapsulation to the Layer 3 packet and forwards the packet to the destination gateway. The encapsulated VXLAN ID is the L3 VXLAN ID of the corresponding VPN instance.

7. The destination gateway identifies the VPN instance of the packet based on the L3 VXLAN ID and removes the VXLAN encapsulation. Then the gateway forwards the packet based on the matching ARP entry.

Figure 11 Inter-site Layer 3 forwarding

Communication between private and public networks

A distributed EVPN gateway uses the public instance to perform Layer 3 forwarding for the public network and to enable communication between private and public networks. The public instance is similar to a VPN instance. A distributed EVPN gateway processes traffic of the public instance in the same way it does for a VPN instance. For the public instance to work correctly, you must configure an RD, an L3 VXLAN ID, and route targets for it. If a VSI interface is not associated with any VPN instance, the VSI interface belongs to the public instance.

RD and route target selection of BGP EVPN routes

As shown in Table 1, you can configure RDs and route targets for BGP EVPN routes in multiple views.

Table 1 Supported views for RD and route target configuration

Item	Views
RD	· EVPN instance view of a VSI · VPN instance view · Public instance view
Route targets	· EVPN instance view of a VSI · VPN instance view · IPv4 VPN view of a VPN instance · IPv6 VPN view of a VPN instance · EVPN view of a VPN instance · Public instance view · IPv4 VPN view of the public instance · IPv6 VPN view of the public instance · EVPN view of the public instance NOTE: Route targets configured in VPN instance view apply to IPv4 VPN, IPv6 VPN, and EVPN. Route targets configured in IPv4 VPN view apply only to IPv4 VPN. Route targets configured in IPv6 VPN view apply only to IPv6 VPN. Route targets configured in EVPN view of a VPN instance apply only to EVPN. Route targets configured in IPv4 VPN view, IPv6 VPN view, or EVPN view of a VPN instance take precedence over those in VPN instance view. The precedence order for different views of a VPN instance also applies to the views of the public instance.

NOTE:

Route targets configured in VPN instance view apply to IPv4 VPN, IPv6 VPN, and EVPN. Route targets configured in IPv4 VPN view apply only to IPv4 VPN. Route targets configured in IPv6 VPN view apply only to IPv6 VPN. Route targets configured in EVPN view of a VPN instance apply only to EVPN. Route targets configured in IPv4 VPN view, IPv6 VPN view, or EVPN view of a VPN instance take precedence over those in VPN instance view. The precedence order for different views of a VPN instance also applies to the views of the public instance.

The device selects RDs and route targets for BGP EVPN routes by using the following rules:

· IMET routes and MAC/IP advertisement routes that contain only MAC addresses—The device uses the RD and route targets configured in EVPN instance view when advertising and accepting the routes.

· MAC/IP advertisement routes that contain ARP or ND information—The device uses the following settings when advertising the routes:

¡ RD and export route targets configured in EVPN instance view.

¡ Export route targets configured for EVPN on a VPN instance or the public instance (VPN instance view, EVPN view of a VPN instance or the public instance, and public instance view).

The device uses the import route targets configured for EVPN on a VPN instance or the public instance when accepting the routes.

· IP prefix advertisement routes—The device uses the route targets configured for IPv4 or IPv6 VPN on a VPN instance or the public instance when advertising and accepting the routes.

ARP flood suppression

ARP flood suppression reduces ARP request broadcasts by enabling the VTEP to reply to ARP requests on behalf of VMs.

As shown in Figure 12, this feature snoops ARP requests, ARP responses, and BGP EVPN routes to populate the ARP flood suppression table with local and remote MAC addresses. If an ARP request has a matching entry, the VTEP replies to the request on behalf of the VM. If no match is found, the VTEP floods the request to both local and remote sites.

Figure 12 ARP flood suppression

ARP flood suppression uses the following workflow:

1. VM 1 sends an ARP request to obtain the MAC address of VM 7.

2. VTEP 1 creates a suppression entry for VM 1, floods the ARP request in the VXLAN, and sends the suppression entry to VTEP 2 and VTEP 3 through BGP EVPN.

3. VTEP 2 and VTEP 3 de-encapsulate the ARP request and broadcast the request in the local site.

4. VM 7 sends an ARP reply.

5. VTEP 2 creates a suppression entry for VM 7, forwards the ARP reply to VTEP 1, and sends the suppression entry to VTEP 1 and VTEP 3 through BGP EVPN.

6. VTEP 1 de-encapsulates the ARP reply and forwards the ARP reply to VM 1.

7. VM 4 sends an ARP request to obtain the MAC address of VM 1.

8. VTEP 1 creates a suppression entry for VM 4 and replies to the ARP request.

9. VM 10 sends an ARP request to obtain the MAC address of VM 1.

10. VTEP 3 creates a suppression entry for VM 10 and replies to the ARP request.

MAC mobility

MAC mobility refers to that a VM or host moves from one ES to another. The source VTEP is unaware of the MAC move event. To notify other VTEPs of the change, the destination VTEP advertises a MAC/IP advertisement route for the MAC address. The source VTEP withdraws the old route for the MAC address after receiving the new route. The MAC/IP advertisement route has a sequence number that increases when the MAC address moves. The sequence number identifies the most recent move if the MAC address moves multiple times.

EVPN distributed relay

NOTE:

EVPN distributed relay supports only IPv4 sites.

As shown in Figure 13, EVPN distributed relay virtualizes two VTEPs or EVPN gateways into one distributed-relay (DR) system through Distributed Resilient Network Interconnect (DRNI) to avoid single points of failure. The VTEPs or EVPN gateways are called DR member devices. For more information about DRNI, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.

EVPN distributed relay uses the following mechanisms:

· VM reachability information synchronization—To ensure VM reachability information consistency in the DR system, the DR member devices synchronize MAC address entries and ARP packets with each other through an intra-portal link (IPL). The IPL can be an Ethernet aggregate link.

· Virtual VTEP address—The DR member devices use a virtual VTEP address to set up VXLAN tunnels with remote VTEPs or EVPN gateways.

· Independent BGP neighbor relationship establishment—The DR member devices use different BGP peer addresses to establish neighbor relationships with remote devices. For load sharing and link redundancy, a neighbor sends traffic destined for the virtual VTEP address to both of the DR member devices through ECMP routes of the underlay network.

· Site-facing link redundancy—As shown in Figure 13, a VM accesses the EVPN network through multiple Ethernet links that connect to the VTEPs. On each VTEP, all site-facing Ethernet links are assigned to a Layer 2 aggregation group for high availability. On the corresponding Layer 2 aggregate interfaces, Ethernet service instances are configured as ACs of VXLANs to match customer traffic.

¡ If you specify the Ethernet aggregate link between the VTEPs as the IPL, the site-facing link backup mechanism is as follows:

When a site-facing AC is configured on a DR member device, the device automatically creates an AC on the IPL with the same traffic match criterion as the site-facing AC. Then, it maps the automatically created AC to the VSI of the site-facing AC. When the site-facing AC is down, traffic that a remote device sends to the AC is forwarded to the other DR member device through the IPL. This mechanism ensures service continuity in case of AC failure.

¡ If a VXLAN tunnel acts as the IPL, the site-facing link backup mechanism is as follows:

If a site-facing AC on a DR member device is down, traffic received from a VXLAN tunnel and destined for the AC will be encapsulated into VXLAN packets. The VXLAN ID belongs to the VXLAN that is associated with the VSI of the site-facing AC. The DR member device forwards the VXLAN packets through the IPL VXLAN tunnel to the peer DR member device. The peer DR member device assigns the traffic to the correct VSI based on the VXLAN ID in the received packets.

Configuring EVPN

Restrictions and guidelines: EVPN configuration

Before you can configure EVPN, you must perform the following tasks:

· Set the system operating mode to standard by using the system-working-mode standard command. For more information about setting the system operating mode, see device management in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

· Save the configuration.

· Reboot the device.

If you enable Layer 3 forwarding for VXLANs, reserve one global-type VLAN interface resource for the VSI interface of each VXLAN before the VXLAN is created on the following hardware:

· The S12500X-AF F card series.

· The S12500-X switch series.

· The S9800 switch series.

You do not need to reserve VLAN interface resources for the S12500X-AF H card series. For more information about reserving global-type VLAN interface resources, see VLAN configuration in Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.

Make sure the following VXLAN tunnels are not associated with the same VXLAN when they have the same tunnel destination IP address:

· A VXLAN tunnel automatically created by EVPN.

· A manually created VXLAN tunnel.

For more information about manual tunnel configuration, see VXLAN Configuration Guide.

As a best practice to ensure correct traffic forwarding, configure the same MAC address for all VSI interfaces on an EVPN gateway.

Setting the forwarding mode for VXLANs

About the VXLAN forwarding mode

The device performs Layer 2 or Layer 3 forwarding for VXLANs depending on your configuration.

· In Layer 3 forwarding mode, the device uses the FIB table to forward traffic.

· In Layer 2 forwarding mode, the device uses the MAC address table to forward traffic.

Use Layer 3 forwarding mode if you use the device as an EVPN gateway. If the device is a VTEP, set the forwarding mode based on the hardware you use.

· For the S12500X-AF F card series, S12500-X switch series, and S9800 switch series, enable Layer 2 forwarding for VXLANs.

· For the S12500X-AF H card series, you can enable Layer 2 or Layer 3 forwarding for VXLANs.

If you enable Layer 3 forwarding for VXLANs, the tagging status of VXLAN packets is not determined by the link type of the outgoing interface. You must use this command to set the tagging mode of VXLAN packets.

· Set the tagging mode to untagged if the following requirements are met:

¡ The link type of the outgoing interface is access, trunk, or hybrid.

¡ VXLAN packets are transmitted to the next hop through the PVID of the outgoing interface.

· Set the tagging mode to tagged if the following requirements are met:

¡ The link type of the outgoing interface is trunk or hybrid.

¡ VXLAN packets are transmitted to the next hop through a VLAN other than the PVID of the outgoing interface.

Restrictions and guidelines

You must delete all VSIs, VSI interfaces, and VXLAN tunnel interfaces before you can change the forwarding mode. As a best practice, finish VXLAN network planning and determine the VXLAN forwarding mode of each device before your configuration, and set the VXLAN forwarding mode before other VXLAN settings.

You must delete all VXLAN tunnel interfaces before you can change the tagging mode of VXLAN packets.

Mapping Ethernet service instances to a VSI

Mapping a static Ethernet service instance to a VSI

About Ethernet service instance mappings

An Ethernet service instance matches a list of VLANs on a site-facing interface by using a frame match criterion. The VTEP assigns traffic from the VLANs to a VXLAN by mapping the Ethernet service instance to a VSI. The VSI performs Layer 2 forwarding for the VLANs based on its MAC address table.

For more information about the VXLAN commands in this task, see VXLAN Command Reference.

Restrictions and guidelines

Link aggregation group membership is mutually exclusive with Ethernet service instance-to-VSI mappings on a Layer 2 interface. Do not map a VSI to an Ethernet service instance on a Layer 2 interface if the interface is in a Layer 2 aggregation group.

For information about the frame match criterion configuration restrictions and guidelines of Ethernet service instances, see VXLAN Command Reference.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter interface view.

¡ Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

¡ Enter Layer 2 aggregate interface view.

interface bridge-aggregation interface-number

3. Create an Ethernet service instance and enter Ethernet service instance view.

4. Choose one option to configure a frame match criterion.

¡ Match frames with the specified outer VLAN tags.

encapsulation s-vid vlan-id-list [ only-tagged ]

¡ Match frames with the specified inner and outer VLAN tags.

encapsulation s-vid vlan-id-list c-vid vlan-id-list

¡ Match any VLAN untagged frames.

encapsulation untagged

¡ Match frames that do not match any other service instance on the interface.

encapsulation default

An interface can contain only one Ethernet service instance that uses the encapsulation default match criterion.

An Ethernet service instance that uses the encapsulation default match criterion matches any frames if it is the only instance on the interface.

By default, an Ethernet service instance does not contain a frame match criterion.

The vlan-id-list argument is supported only in Ethernet access mode.

5. Map the Ethernet service instance to a VSI.

xconnect vsi vsi-name [ access-mode { ethernet | vlan } ] [ track track-entry-number&<1-3> ]

By default, an Ethernet service instance is not mapped to any VSI.

Configuring VLAN-based VXLAN assignment

About VLAN-based VXLAN assignment

VLAN-based VXLAN assignment enables the device to assign all traffic of a VLAN to a VXLAN. If you enable this feature and map a VLAN to a VXLAN, the device automatically performs the following operations:

1. Creates an Ethernet service instance that uses the VLAN ID as its instance ID on each interface in the VLAN.

2. Maps the Ethernet service instances to the VSI of the VXLAN.

Restrictions and guidelines

You configure this feature in conjunction with EVPN distributed relay.

If you map a VLAN to a VXLAN, the VTEP cannot perform non-VXLAN Layer 2 forwarding in the VLAN. The VLAN interface of the VLAN cannot perform Layer 3 forwarding, either.

The Ethernet service instance creation or deletion time is affected by the number of VLANs mapped to a VXLAN and the number of trunk ports assigned to the VLANs. The larger the numbers, the longer the time. During AC creation or deletion, other operations are queued.

Prerequisites

Use the vxlan command to create the VXLAN to which a VLAN is mapped.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enable VLAN-based VXLAN assignment.

vxlan vlan-based

By default, VLAN-based VXLAN assignment is disabled.

3. Create a VLAN and enter VLAN view.

vlan vlan-id

4. Map the VLAN to a VXLAN.

vxlan vni vxlan-id

By default, a VLAN is not mapped to a VXLAN.

Do not map a VLAN to the L3 VXLAN ID of EVPN.

Configuring a centralized EVPN gateway

Restrictions and guidelines

If an EVPN network contains a centralized EVPN gateway, you must enable ARP flood suppression on VTEPs. Typically remote ARP learning is disabled in an EVPN network. When ARP requests for the gateway MAC address are sent to the centralized EVPN gateway through VXLAN tunnels, the gateway does not respond to the requests. If ARP flood suppression is disabled on VTEPs, VMs cannot obtain the MAC address of the gateway.

Prerequisites

You must enable Layer 3 forwarding for VXLANs on a centralized EVPN gateway.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Create a VSI interface and enter VSI interface view.

interface vsi-interface vsi-interface-id

For more information about this command, see VXLAN Command Reference.

3. Assign an IPv4 address to the VSI interface.

By default, no IPv4 address is assigned to a VSI interface.

4. Return to system view.

quit

5. Enter VSI view.

vsi vsi-name

6. Specify the VSI interface as the gateway interface for the VSI.

gateway vsi-interface vsi-interface-id

By default, no gateway interface is specified for a VSI.

For more information about this command, see VXLAN Command Reference.

Configuring a distributed EVPN gateway

Restrictions and guidelines for distributed EVPN gateway configuration

Make sure a VSI interface uses the same MAC address to provide service on distributed EVPN gateways connected to IPv4 sites. Make sure a VSI interface uses different link-local addresses to provide service on distributed EVPN gateways connected to both IPv4 and IPv6 sites.

If both ARP flood suppression and local proxy ARP are enabled on a distributed EVPN gateway, only local proxy ARP takes effect. As a best practice, do not use these features together on distributed EVPN gateways.

Prerequisites for distributed EVPN gateway configuration

You must enable Layer 3 forwarding for VXLANs on a distributed EVPN gateway.

For a VXLAN to access the external network, specify the VXLAN's VSI interface on the border gateway as the next hop on distributed EVPN gateways by using one of the following methods:

· Configure a static route.

· Configure a routing policy, and apply the policy by using the apply default-next-hop or apply next-hop command. For more information about configuring routing policies, see routing policy configuration in Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.

Configuring a VSI interface

About VSI interfaces

To save Layer 3 interface resources on a distributed EVPN gateway, multiple VSIs can share one VSI interface. You can assign multiple IP addresses to the VSI interface for the VSIs to use as gateway addresses.

When VSIs share a VSI interface, you must specify the subnet of each VSI for the VSI interface to identify the VSI of a packet. The subnets must be unique.

Configuring IP prefix route advertisement

About IP prefix route advertisement

If IGP routes are imported to the BGP-VPN IPv4 or IPv6 unicast address family and the corresponding VPN instance has an L3 VXLAN ID, the device advertises the imported routes as IP prefix advertisement routes.

If IGP routes are imported to the BGP IPv4 or IPv6 unicast address family and the public instance has an L3 VXLAN ID, the device advertises the imported routes as IP prefix advertisement routes.

A VTEP compares the export route targets of received IP prefix advertisement routes with the import route targets configured for IPv4 VPN or IPv6 VPN on a VPN instance or the public instance. If the route targets match, the VTEP accepts the routes and adds the routes to the routing table of the VPN instance or public instance.

Restrictions and guidelines

This feature is supported only by distributed EVPN gateway deployment.

For more information about the BGP commands in this task, see Layer 3—IP Routing Command Reference.

ECMP VPN route redistribution enables BGP to import all routes that have the same prefix and RD into the EVPN routing table.

Configuring the EVPN global MAC address

About the EVPN global MAC address

The EVPN global MAC address is used only by VSI interfaces associated with an L3 VXLAN ID. For such a VSI interface, the MAC address assigned to it by using the mac-address command takes precedence over the EVPN global MAC address.

A distributed EVPN gateway selects the lowest-numbered VSI interface that is associated with an L3 VXLAN ID as its router MAC address. In a DR system, distributed EVPN gateways that act as DR member devices might use different router MAC addresses, which causes forwarding errors. To resolve this problem, you can configure the same EVPN global MAC address on the gateways.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Configure the EVPN global MAC address.

evpn global-mac mac-address

By default, no EVPN global MAC address is configured.

Disabling generation of IP prefix advertisement routes for the subnets of a VSI interface

About generation of IP prefix advertisement routes for VSI interfaces

A distributed VXLAN IP gateway by default generates IP prefix advertisement routes for the subnets of VSI interfaces and advertises these routes to remote VTEPs. The remote VTEPs advertise these routes to their local sites. To disable advertisement of these routes to remote sites, you can disable generation of IP prefix advertisement routes for the subnets of VSI interfaces.

Software version and feature compatibility

This feature is supported only in Release 2712 and later.

Restrictions and guidelines

This feature takes effect only on a VSI interface that provides distributed VXLAN IP gateway service (configured by using the distributed-gateway local command). It does not take effect on VSI interfaces that provide centralized VXLAN IP gateway service. The device only generates MAC/IP advertisement routes for VSI interfaces that provide centralized VXLAN IP gateway service.

Procedure

Enabling conversational learning for remote MAC address entries

About conversational learning for remote MAC address entries

By default, the device issues a remote MAC address entry to the hardware after the remote MAC address is advertised to the local site by BGP EVPN routes. This feature enables the device to issue a remote MAC address entry to the hardware only when the entry is required for packet forwarding. This feature saves hardware resources on the device.

With this feature enabled, the device generates a blackhole MAC address entry for an unknown MAC address if receiving 50 frames destined for that MAC address within the MAC aging time. For more information about the MAC aging time and blackhole MAC address entries, see MAC address table configuration in Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

Enabling conversational learning for host route FIB entries

About conversational learning for host route FIB entries

By default, the device issues a host route FIB entry to the hardware after the entry is generated. This feature enables the device to issue a host route FIB entry to the hardware only when the entry is required for packet forwarding. This feature saves hardware resources on the device.

Restrictions and guidelines

Set an appropriate aging timer for host route FIB entries according to your network. A much longer or shorter aging timer will degrade the device performance.

· If the aging timer is too long, the device will save many outdated host route FIB entries and fail to accommodate the most recent network changes. These entries cannot be used for correct packet forwarding and exhaust FIB resources.

· If the aging timer is too short, the device will delete the valid host route FIB entries that can still be effective for packet forwarding. As a result, FIB entry flapping will occur, and the device performance will be affected.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

Confining floods to the local site

About local site flood confining

By default, the VTEP floods broadcast, unknown unicast, and unknown multicast frames received from the local site to the following interfaces in the frame's VXLAN:

· All site-facing interfaces except for the incoming interface.

· All VXLAN tunnel interfaces.

To confine a kind of flood traffic to the site-facing interfaces, disable flooding for that kind of flood traffic on the VSI bound to the VXLAN. The VSI will not flood the corresponding frames to VXLAN tunnel interfaces.

To exclude a remote MAC address from the flood suppression done by using this feature, enable selective flood for the MAC address. The VTEP will flood the frames destined for the MAC address to remote sites.

For more information about the VXLAN commands in this task, see VXLAN Command Reference.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter VSI view.

vsi vsi-name

3. Disable flooding for the VSI.

flooding disable { all | { broadcast | unknown-multicast | unknown-unicast } * }

By default, flooding is enabled for a VSI.

The unknown-multicast or unknown-unicast keyword cannot be used alone. You must specify both of them.

4. (Optional.) Enable selective flood for a MAC address.

selective-flooding mac-address mac-address

Enabling ARP flood suppression

About ARP flood suppression

Use ARP flood suppression to reduce ARP request broadcasts.

The aging timer is fixed at 25 minutes for ARP flood suppression entries. If the flooding disable command is configured, set the MAC aging timer to a higher value than the aging timer for ARP flood suppression entries on all VTEPs. This setting prevents the traffic blackhole that occurs when a MAC address entry ages out before its ARP flood suppression entry ages out. To set the MAC aging timer, use the mac-address timer command.

When remote ARP learning is disabled for VXLANs, the device does not use ARP flood suppression entries to respond to ARP requests received on VXLAN tunnels.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter VSI view.

vsi vsi-name

3. Enable ARP flood suppression.

arp suppression enable

By default, ARP flood suppression is disabled.

For more information about this command, see VXLAN Command Reference.

Configuring EVPN distributed relay

About EVPN distributed relay

EVPN distributed relay virtualizes two VTEPs or EVPN gateways into one DR system to avoid single points of failure. The VTEPs or EVPN gateways use a virtual VTEP address to establish VXLAN tunnels to remote devices.

Software version and feature compatibility

VXLAN tunnels can act as IPLs only in Release 2712 and later.

Restrictions and guidelines

When you configure EVPN distributed relay, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

· In a DR system, DR member devices must have the same EVPN configuration.

· Do not configure overlapping outer VLAN IDs for Ethernet service instances of different VSIs.

· For a DR member device to re-establish VXLAN tunnels, you must execute the address-family l2vpn evpn command in BGP instance view after you perform one of the following tasks:

¡ Modify the virtual VTEP address.

¡ Enable or disable EVPN distributed relay.

· You cannot specify a secondary IP address of an interface as the virtual VTEP address.

Prerequisites

In addition to EVPN distributed relay configuration, you must configure the following settings:

· Configure other DRNI and EVPN settings depending on your network. For information about DRNI configuration, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.

· Except for member ports of aggregate interfaces, use the mad exclude interface command to exclude all interfaces used by EVPN from the MAD shutdown action by DRNI. The interfaces include VSI interfaces, interfaces that provide BGP peer addresses, IPPs, and transport-facing outgoing interfaces of VXLAN tunnels.

For more information about the mad exclude interface command, see DRNI in Layer 2—LAN Switching Command Reference.

· Execute the drni restore-delay command to set the data restoration interval to a value equal to or larger than 180 seconds.

If a VXLAN tunnel is used as the IPL, you must also complete the following tasks:

· Manually create the VXLAN tunnel interface and configure it as the IPP. An automatically created VXLAN tunnel cannot be used as an IPL.

· The source address of the IPL VXLAN tunnel must be the address used by the device to establish BGP peer relationship with other devices.

· Specify the virtual VTEP address and the source address of the IPL VXLAN tunnel as the IP addresses of different loopback interfaces. Configure a routing protocol to advertise the IP addresses.

· You must disable spanning tree on the Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces that act as physical traffic outgoing interfaces of the IPL VXLAN tunnel. If you enable spanning tree on the interfaces, the upstream device will falsely block the interfaces connected to the DR member devices.

· Use the reserved vxlan command to specify a reserved VXLAN to forward DRNI protocol packets. The DR member devices in a DR system must have the same reserved VXLAN.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enable EVPN distributed relay and specify the virtual VTEP address.

evpn drni group virtual-vtep-ip

By default, EVPN distributed relay is disabled.

Example: Configuring distributed IPv4 EVPN gateways

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 15:

· Configure VXLAN 10 and VXLAN 20 on Switch A and Switch B to provide connectivity for the VMs in the VXLANs across the network sites.

· Configure Switch A and Switch B as distributed EVPN gateways to provide gateway services. Configure Switch C as a border gateway to provide access to the connected Layer 3 network.

· Configure Switch D as an RR to reflect BGP EVPN routes between Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C.

Procedure

IMPORTANT:

By default, interfaces on the device are disabled (in ADM or Administratively Down state). To have an interface operate, you must use the undo shutdown command to enable that interface.

‌

1. On VM 1 and VM 3, specify 10.1.1.1 as the gateway address. On VM 2 and VM 4, specify 10.1.2.1 as the gateway address. (Details not shown.)

2. Configure IP addresses and unicast routing settings:

# Assign IP addresses to interfaces, as shown in Figure 15. (Details not shown.)

# Configure OSPF on all transport network switches (Switches A through D) for them to reach one another. (Details not shown.)

3. Configure Switch A:

# Enable L2VPN.

Procedure

IMPORTANT:

By default, interfaces on the device are disabled (in ADM or Administratively Down state). To have an interface operate, you must use the undo shutdown command to enable that interface.

‌

1. On VM 1 and VM 3, specify 11::1 as the gateway address. On VM 2 and VM 4, specify 12::1 as the gateway address. (Details not shown.)

2. Configure IP addresses and unicast routing settings:

# Assign IP addresses to interfaces, as shown in Figure 16. (Details not shown.)

# Configure OSPF on all transport network switches (Switches A through D) for them to reach one another. (Details not shown.)

3. Configure Switch A:

# Enable L2VPN.

Example: Configuring communication between IPv4 EVPN networks and the public network

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 17:

· Configure VXLAN 10, VXLAN 20, and VXLAN 30 on Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C to meet the following requirements:

¡ VXLAN 10 and VXLAN 20 are on the private network, and VXLAN 30 is on the public network.

¡ VXLAN 10 can communicate with VXLAN 20 and VXLAN 30, and VXLAN 20 is isolated from VXLAN 30.

· Configure Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C as distributed EVPN gateways to provide gateway services for the VXLANs.

· Configure Switch D as an RR to reflect BGP EVPN routes between Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C.

Procedure

IMPORTANT:

By default, interfaces on the device are disabled (in ADM or Administratively Down state). To have an interface operate, you must use the undo shutdown command to enable that interface.

‌

1. On VM 1, VM 2, and VM 3, specify 10.1.1.1, 10.1.2.1, and 10.1.3.1 as the gateway address, respectively. (Details not shown.)

2. Configure IP addresses and unicast routing settings:

# Assign IP addresses to interfaces, as shown in Figure 17. (Details not shown.)

# Configure OSPF on all transport network switches (Switches A through D) for them to reach one another. (Details not shown.)

3. Configure Switch A:

# Enable L2VPN.

2. Verify that VM 1 can communicate with VM 2 and VM 3, and VM 2 cannot communicate with VM 3. (Details not shown.)

Example: Configuring IPv4 EVPN distributed relay using an Ethernet aggregate link as the IPL

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 18, perform the following tasks to make sure the VMs can communicate with one another:

· Configure VXLAN 10 on Switch A and Switch B, and configure VXLAN 20 on Switch D.

· Configure EVPN distributed relay on Switch A and Switch B to virtualize them into one VTEP.

· Configure Switch C as a centralized EVPN gateway and RR.

Figure 18 Network diagram

‌

Procedure

IMPORTANT:

By default, interfaces on the device are disabled (in ADM or Administratively Down state). To have an interface operate, you must use the undo shutdown command to enable that interface.

‌

1. On VM 1 and VM 2, specify 10.1.1.1 as the gateway address. On VM 3, specify 10.1.2.1 as the gateway address. (Details not shown.)

2. Configure IP addresses and unicast routing settings:

# Assign IP addresses to interfaces (including loopback interfaces), as shown in Figure 18. (Details not shown.)

# Configure OSPF on all transport network switches (Switches A through D) for them to reach one another. (Details not shown.)

# Except for member ports of site-facing aggregate interfaces, use the mad exclude interface command on Switches A and B to exclude all interfaces used by EVPN from the MAD shutdown action of DRNI. (Details not shown.)

3. Configure Switch A:

# Enable L2VPN.

3. Verify network connectivity for the VMs:

# Verify that VM 1, VM 2, and VM 3 can communicate when both Switch A and Switch B are operating correctly. (Details not shown.)

# Verify that VM 1, VM 2, and VM 3 can communicate when Switch A's or Switch B's links to the local site are disconnected. (Details not shown.)

Example: Configuring IPv4 EVPN distributed relay using a VXLAN tunnel as the IPL

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 19, perform the following tasks to make sure the VMs can communicate with one another:

· Configure VXLAN 10 on Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C, and configure VXLAN 20 on Switch C and Switch D.

· Configure EVPN distributed relay on Switch A and Switch B to virtualize them into one VTEP. The switches use a VXLAN tunnel as the IPL.

· Configure Switch C as a centralized EVPN gateway and RR.

Configuring EVPN-DCI

About EVPN-DCI

EVPN data center interconnect (EVPN-DCI) uses VXLAN-DCI tunnels to provide connectivity for data centers over an IP transport network.

EVPN-DCI network model

As shown in Figure 20, the EVPN-DCI network contains VTEPs and edge devices (EDs) located at the edge of the transport network. A VXLAN tunnel is established between a VTEP and an ED, and a VXLAN-DCI tunnel is established between two EDs. VXLAN-DCI tunnels use VXLAN encapsulation. Each ED de-encapsulates incoming VXLAN packets and re-encapsulates them based on the destination before forwarding the packets through a VXLAN or VXLAN-DCI tunnel.

Figure 20 EVPN-DCI network model

Working mechanisms

In an EVPN-DCI network, BGP EVPN peer relationships are established between EDs and between EDs and VTEPs. When advertising routes to a VTEP or another ED, an ED replaces the routes' nexthop IP address and router MAC address with its IP address and router MAC address.

In an EVPN-DCI network, a VTEP and an ED use a VXLAN tunnel to send traffic, and two EDs use a VXLAN-DCI tunnel to send traffic. An ED de-encapsulates incoming VXLAN packets and re-encapsulates them before forwarding the packets through a VXLAN or VXLAN-DCI tunnel.

EVPN-DCI dual-homing

IMPORTANT:

This feature is supported only in Release 2719 and later.

As shown in Figure 3, EVPN-DCI dual-homing allows you to deploy two EDs at a data center for high availability and load sharing. To virtualize the redundant EDs into one device, a virtual ED address is configured on them. The redundant EDs use the virtual ED address to establish tunnels with VTEPs and remote EDs.

Figure 21 EVPN-DCI dual-homing

The redundant EDs use their respective IP addresses as the BGP peer addresses to establish BGP EVPN neighbor relationships with VTEPs and remote EDs. The VTEPs and remote EDs send traffic destined for the virtual ED address to both of the redundant EDs through the ECMP routes provided by the underlay network.

The redundant EDs communicate with remote data centers through the transport network. Devices in the dual-homed data center are unaware of the transport network. When the transport-side link fails on one of the redundant EDs, traffic destined for remote data centers is still sent to that ED. To resolve this issue, Monitor Link is used together with EVPN-DCI dual-homing.

On each redundant ED, the transport-facing physical interface is associated with the following loopback interfaces: The loopback interface that provides the IP address used for establishing BGP EVPN neighbor relationships and the loopback interface that provides the virtual ED address. If the transport-side link fails on a redundant ED, the loopback interfaces are placed in down state, and all traffic is forwarded by the other redundant ED. For more information about Monitor Link, see High Availability Configuration Guide.

For link redundancy, deploy multiple RRs on the spine nodes in a data center, and connect each redundant ED to the transport network through multiple links.

Restrictions: Hardware compatibility with EVPN-DCI

EVPN-DCI is supported only by the S12500X-AF H card series.

EVPN-DCI tasks at a glance

To configure EVPN-DCI, perform the following tasks on EDs:

1. Enabling DCI

2. Enabling route nexthop replacement and route router MAC replacement

3. (Optional.) Enabling an ED to replace the L3 VXLAN ID and RD of IP prefix advertisement routes

4. (Optional.) Suppressing BGP EVPN route advertisement

5. (Optional.) Configuring VXLAN mapping

Perform this task to provide Layer 2 connectivity for a tenant subnet that uses different VXLAN IDs in multiple data centers.

6. (Optional.) Configuring EVPN-DCI dual-homing

Prerequisites for EVPN-DCI

Before you configure EVPN-DCI, complete basic EVPN configuration for each data center. For more information about basic EVPN configuration, see "Configuring EVPN."

Enabling DCI

About DCI

For EDs to automatically establish VXLAN-DCI tunnels, you must enable DCI on the Layer 3 interfaces that interconnect the EDs.

An ED establishes VXLAN-DCI tunnels based on BGP EVPN routes. If DCI is disabled on the outgoing interfaces to remote sites, EDs cannot establish VXLAN-DCI tunnels.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

Subinterfaces of a DCI-enabled interface inherit configuration of the interface.

3. Enable DCI.

dci enable

By default, DCI is disabled on an interface.

Enabling route nexthop replacement and route router MAC replacement

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Configure a global router ID.

router id router-id

By default, no global router ID is configured.

3. Enable a BGP instance and enter BGP instance view.

bgp as-number [ instance instance-name ]

By default, BGP is disabled, and no BGP instances exist.

4. Specify local VTEPs and remote EDs as BGP peers.

peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] } as-number as-number

5. Create the BGP EVPN address family and enter BGP EVPN address family view.

address-family l2vpn evpn

6. Enable BGP to exchange BGP EVPN routes with a peer or peer group.

peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] } enable

By default, BGP does not exchange BGP EVPN routes with peers.

7. Set the local router as the next hop for routes advertised to a peer or peer group.

peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] } next-hop-local

The default settings for this command are as follows:

¡ BGP sets the local router as the next hop for all routes advertised to an EBGP peer or peer group.

¡ BGP does not modify the next hop for EBGP routes advertised to an IBGP peer or peer group.

The peers specified in this task must be VTEPs in the local data center.

8. Enable route router MAC replacement for a peer or peer group.

peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] } router-mac-local

By default, the device does not modify the router MAC address of routes before advertising the routes.

This command enables the device to use its router MAC address to replace the router MAC address of routes received from and advertised to a peer or peer group.

The peers specified in this task must be remote EDs.

Enabling an ED to replace the L3 VXLAN ID and RD of IP prefix advertisement routes

About replacement of the L3 VXLAN ID and RD of IP prefix advertisement routes

In an EVPN-DCI network, use this feature to enable communication between data centers that use different L3 VXLAN IDs or hide the L3 VXLAN ID of a data center. After you enable this feature on an ED, the ED performs the following operations after receiving IP prefix advertisement routes:

1. Matches the route targets of the routes with the import route targets of local VPN instances.

2. Replaces the L3 VXLAN ID and RD of the routes with the L3 VXLAN ID and RD of the matching local VPN instance.

3. Advertises the routes to a VTEP or remote ED.

Software version and feature compatibility

This feature is supported only in Release 2712 and later.

Restrictions and guidelines

After you configure this feature, an ED advertises only IP prefix advertisement routes with the replaced L3 VXLAN ID and RD. The IP prefix advertisement routes with the original L3 VXLAN ID and RD are not advertised.

If the RD of a received IP prefix advertisement route is identical to the RD of the matching local VPN instance, an ED does not replace the L3 VXLAN ID of the route or regenerate the route. As a result, the ED does not advertise the route. As a best practice, assign unique RDs to VPN instances on different EVPN gateways and EDs when you use this feature.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter BGP instance view.

bgp as-number [ instance instance-name ]

3. Enter BGP EVPN address family view.

address-family l2vpn evpn

4. Replace the L3 VXLAN ID and RD of IP prefix advertisement routes.

peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] } re-originated

By default, the device does not modify the L3 VXLAN ID or RD of the IP prefix advertisement routes that are received from peers or peer groups.

Suppressing BGP EVPN route advertisement

About BGP EVPN route advertisement suppression

To reduce the number of BGP EVPN routes on EDs of an EVPN-DCI network, suppress the advertisement of specific BGP EVPN routes on the EDs.

Software version and feature compatibility

This feature is supported only in Release 2712 and later.

Restrictions and guidelines

If two VSI interfaces on EVPN gateways of different data centers use the same IP address, do not suppress the advertisement of MAC/IP advertisement routes on the EDs of the data centers. If you suppress the advertisement of these routes, the EDs cannot communicate with each other.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter BGP instance view.

bgp as-number [ instance instance-name ]

3. Enter BGP EVPN address family view.

address-family l2vpn evpn

4. Suppress the advertisement of specific BGP EVPN routes to a peer or peer group.

peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] } advertise evpn-route suppress { ip-prefix | mac-ip }

By default, advertisement of BGP EVPN routes is not suppressed.

Configuring VXLAN mapping

About VXLAN mapping

The VXLAN mapping feature provides Layer 2 connectivity for a tenant subnet that uses different VXLAN IDs in multiple data centers.

If you map a local VXLAN to a remote VXLAN on an ED, the ED processes routes as follows:

· When the ED receives the local VXLAN's MAC/IP advertisement routes from local VTEPs, it performs the following operations:

¡ Adds the routes to the local VXLAN.

¡ Replaces the VXLAN ID of the routes with the remote VXLAN ID and advertises the routes to remote EDs.

· When the ED receives the remote VXLAN's MAC/IP advertisement routes from a remote data center, it adds the routes to the local VXLAN.

VXLAN mapping includes the following types:

· Non-intermediate VXLAN mapping—When two data centers use different VXLAN IDs for a subnet, map the local VXLAN to the remote VXLAN on the ED of one data center. For example, for VXLAN 10 of data center 1 to communicate with VXLAN 20 of data center 2, map VXLAN 10 to VXLAN 20 on the ED of data center 1.

· Intermediate VXLAN mapping—When multiple data centers use different VXLAN IDs for a subnet, map the VXLANs to an intermediate VXLAN on all EDs. For example, data center 1 uses VXLAN 10, data center 2 uses VXLAN 20, and data center 3 uses VXLAN 30. To provide connectivity for the VXLANs, map them to intermediate VXLAN 500 on EDs of the data centers. You must use intermediate VXLAN mapping if more than two data centers use different VXLAN IDs. The intermediate VXLAN can be used only for VXLAN mapping, and it cannot be used for common VXLAN services.

Restrictions and guidelines

You must create mapped remote VXLANs on the device, create an EVPN instance for each remote VXLAN, and configure RD and route target settings for the EVPN instances.

When you use VXLAN mapping, follow these route target restrictions:

· EVPN instances and EVPN address family of VPN instances do not have the same export targets.

· EVPN instances and EVPN address family of the public instance do not have the same export targets.

By default, a local VXLAN is not mapped to any remote VXLAN.

The remote VXLAN ID specified by using this command cannot be the same as the L3 VXLAN ID specified by using the l3-vni command.

Configuring EVPN-DCI dual-homing

About EVPN-DCI dual-homing

For high availability and load sharing, you can deploy two EDs at a data center. To virtualize the redundant EDs into one device, you must configure the same virtual ED address on them.

Software version and feature compatibility

This feature is supported only in Release 2719 and later.

Restrictions and guidelines

Do not configure a virtual ED address on the only ED of a data center.

On a redundant ED, the virtual ED address must be the IP address of a loopback interface, and it cannot be the BGP peer IP address of the ED.

Redundant EDs cannot provide access service for local VMs. They can act only as EDs. For correct communication, do not redistribute external routes on only one of the redundant EDs. However, you can redistribute the same external routes on both EDs.

To use EVPN-DCI dual-homing, make sure the overlay and undelay networks are both IPv4 networks.

If you execute the undo bgp command in EVPN address family view, the evpn edge group setting will be deleted. Make sure you are fully aware of the impact before you execute the undo bgp command.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Configure a virtual ED address.

evpn edge group group-ipv4

By default, no virtual ED address is configured.

EVPN-DCI configuration examples

Example: Configuring a basic EVPN-DCI network

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 4:

· Configure VXLAN 10 on Switch A through Switch D to provide connectivity for the VMs in the data centers.

· Configure Switch A and Switch D as VTEPs, and configure Switch B and Switch C as EDs.

Procedure

IMPORTANT:

By default, interfaces on the device are disabled (in ADM or Administratively Down state). To have an interface operate, you must use the undo shutdown command to enable that interface.

Procedure

IMPORTANT:

By default, interfaces on the device are disabled (in ADM or Administratively Down state). To have an interface operate, you must use the undo shutdown command to enable that interface.

‌

1. Configure IP addresses and unicast routing settings:

# On VM 1, specify 10.1.1.1 as the gateway address. On VM 2, specify 10.1.2.1 as the gateway address. (Details not shown.)

# Assign IP addresses to interfaces, as shown in Figure 6. (Details not shown.)

# Configure OSPF on the transport network for the switches to reach one another. (Details not shown.)

2. Configure Switch A:

# Enable L2VPN.

Software version and feature compatibility

This example is supported only in Release 2719 and later.

Procedure

IMPORTANT:

By default, interfaces on the device are disabled (in ADM or Administratively Down state). To have an interface operate, you must use the undo shutdown command to enable that interface.

‌

1. Configure IP addresses and unicast routing settings:

# On VM 1, specify 100.1.1.1 as the gateway address. On VM 2, specify 100.1.2.1 as the gateway address. (Details not shown.)

# Assign IP addresses to the interfaces, as shown in Figure 8. (Details not shown.)

# Configure OSPF for the switches to reach one another. (Details not shown.)

2. Configure Switch A:

# Enable L2VPN.
