Configure VxLAN Instance

Each VxLAN instance is an independent working area. Through VNID isolation, different VxLAN instances can not communicate with each other. The same VxLAN instance can communicate with each other. The device supports configuration of up to 8190 VxLAN instances.

Table 1-2 Configure the VxLAN instance

• ---

  The VNID of VxLAN instance must be configured in priority. Otherwise, other service configurations will not take effect.
• The VLAN bound to VxLAN instance must be configured. Otherwise, there is no configuration for other services.

Configure VxLAN Instance Description Information

To be convenient for memory and management, the description information of VxLAN can be configured according to the service type, function and connection of VxLAN.

Table 1-3 Configure the VxLAN description information

VxLAN Instance Service Access

The virtual machine is connected to the VXLAN network. By identifying different types of traffic, the virtual machine is connected to the VXLAN network, so as to realize the VXLAN network forwarding for virtual machine service. The recognition mode is as follows:

Table 1-4 Configure the service point mode

The VxLAN instance does not contain any service access points when it is initially created. You need to manually configure it as follows.

Table 1-5 Configure the service point

• ---

  One VxLAN instance can only be bound with the unique VLAN.

Enable Route Learning

After VxLAN enables cross-site learning function, ARP request packet, ARP response packet and free ARP packet received on the internal port will generate local EVPN route, and then notify neighbors through BGP EVPN protocol to realize route learning between VTEPs.

Table 1-7 Enable the route learning

Configure NVE

NVE (network virtualization edge) is a network entity that realizes the function of network virtualization. After the packet is encapsulated and transformed by the NVE network entity, the virtual VxLAN network can be established between the NVEs based on the L3 basic network.
