"Virtual Extensible LAN VXLAN - A Practical guide to VXLAN Solution Part 1. (373 pages)
The focus of this post is a Control Plane operation in VXLAN fabric. First, we are going to see how the local switch Leaf-101 learns and installs the MAC address and IP address information of host Beef into databases. Then, we are going to see how Leaf-101 advertises the information to remote Leaf-102 by using BGP EVPN. After that, we are going to see how remote switch Leaf-102 receives the BGP EVPN Update and import routes into MAC-VRF and from there into databases. Note that in Leaf-101 the VLAN 10 is attached to VNI 10000 while VLAN 20 is attached to the same vn-segment in Leaf-102.
