EVPN Instance Deployment Scenario 1: L2-Only EVPN Instance

In this scenario, we are building a protected Broadcast Domain (BD), which we extend to the VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) switches of the EVPN Fabric, Leaf-101 and Leaf-102. Note that the VTEP operates in the Network Virtualization Edge (NVE) role for the VXLAN segment. The term NVE refers to devices that encapsulate data packets to transport them over routed IP infrastructure. Another example of an NVE device is the MPLS Provider Edge (MPLS-PE) router at the edge of the MPLS network, doing MPLS labeling. The term “Tenant System” (TS) refers to a physical host, virtual machine, or an intra-tenant forwarding component attached to one or more Tenant-specific Virtual Networks. Examples of TS forwarding components include firewalls, load balancers, switches, and routers. 

We begin by configuring L2 VLAN 10 to Leaf-101 and Leaf-102 and associate it with the vn-segment 10010. From the NVE perspective, this constitutes an L2-Only network segment, meaning we do not configure an Anycast Gateway (AGW) for the segment, and it does not have any VRF association.

Next, we deploy a Layer 2 EVPN Instance (EVI) with VXLAN Network Identifier (VNI) 10010. We utilize the 'auto' option to generate the Route Distinguisher (RD) and the Route Target (RT) import and export values for the EVI. The RD value is derived from the NVE Interface IP address and the VLAN Identifier (VLAN 10) associated with the EVI, added to the base value 32767 (e.g., 192.168.100.101:32777). The use of the VLAN ID as part of the automatically generated RD value is the reason why VLAN is configured before the EVPN Instance. Similarly, the RT values are derived from the BGP ASN and the VNI (e.g., 65000:10010).

As the final step for EVPN Instance deployment, we add EVI 10010 under the NVE interface configuration as a member vni with the Multicast Group 239.1.1.1 we are using for Broadcast, Unknown Unicast, and Multicast (BUM) traffic. 

For connecting TS1 and TS2 to the Broadcast domain, we will configure Leaf-101's interface Eth 1/5 and Leaf-102's interface Eth1/3 as access ports for VLAN 10.

A few words regarding the terminology utilized in Figure 3-2. '3-Stage Routed Clos Fabric' denotes both the physical topology of the network and the model for forwarding data packets. The 3-Stage Clos topology has three switches (ingress, spine, and egress) between the attached Tenant Systems. Routed, in turn, means that switches forward packets based on the destination IP address.

With the term VXLAN Segment, I refer to a stretched Broadcast Domain, identified by the VXLAN Network Identifier value defined under the EVPN Instance on Leaf switches.

Deploying EVPN Instance

Local Broadcast Domain - Virtual LAN

A Broadcast Domain (BD) is a logical network segment where all connected devices share the same subnet and can reach each other with Broadcast and Unicast messages. Virtual LAN (VLAN) can be considered an abstraction of a local, switch-based BD in EVPN Fabric. Phase 1 in Figure 3-3 shows the local VLAN ID 10 and the vn-segment association with EVPN Instance 10010. Example 3-1 shows NX-OS Command Line Interface (CLI) commands for creating a VLAN.


Fabric-Wide Broadcast Domain - EVPN Instance 

EVPN Instance is identified by a Layer 2 VXLAN Network Identifier (L2VNI). Besides L2VNI, EVPN instances have a unique Route Distinguisher (RD), allowing overlapping addresses between different Tenants and BGP Route Targets (RT) for BGP import and export policies. 

We employ auto-generated RD and RT values for the EVPN instance. The IP address of the BGP RID interface serves as the global admin, while the VLAN ID value added to the Base Number 32767 forms the local admin. For instance, on Leaf-101, the resulting RD value for EVPN Instance 10010 (associated with VLAN 10) is 192.168.10.101:32777. Each VTEP uses a unique RD value to enable the differentiation of routes about the same address received from different VTEPs within the EVPN Fabric network.

The BGP RT value is created using the BGP AS Number as the global admin and the VNI defined for the EVPN instance as the local admin. In our example, the EVPN Instance receives a Route Target value of 65000:10010. All VTEP devices share the same EVPN Instance-specific RT values, ensuring the proper functioning of the EVPN route import/export policy.

Subsequently, we add the VNI of the EVPN instance under the NVE interface configuration and specify it to utilize Multicast Group 239.1.1.1 for Broadcast, Unknown unicast, and Multicast (BUM) traffic. Example 3-1 shows the NX-OS CLI commands.

High-Level Control Plane Analysis


When we create a new VLAN and associate access/trunk interfaces with it, a switch starts building an address table of source MAC addresses learned from the received frames from the local Tenant Systems. In Figure 3-4, we have connected TS1 toLeaf-101's Interface Eth1/5 (Access Port for VLAN 10). Leaf-101 records the source MAC address from the received Ethernet to the MAC Address Table, with VLAN ID 10 and next-hop interface Eth1/5. 

When an EVPN Instance is created, a Layer 2 Forwarding Manager (L2FM) begins encoding MAC address entries from the MAC Address Table associated with the EVI into the MAC-VRF, an EVI-specific Layer 2 Routing and Forwarding instance (L2RIB). In Figure 3-4, the L2FM copies MAC address information about TS1 from MAC Address Table 10. Since the address is learned locally from the Data Plane, it is designated as "Prod: Local.

The MAC information from the MAC VRF is passed to the BGP process, which then encodes this data into the BGP Loc-RIB table. The Route Target value and encapsulation type are added as EXTENDED_COMMUNITIES. The MAC Address information is encoded within the MP_REACH_NLRI Path Attribute. The Address Family Identifier (AFI) and Sub-Address Identifier (SAFI) define that this entry describes EVPN Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI). The Next-Hop address is the IP address of the interface NVE1. The EVPN Route Type for MAC addresses is EVPN Route Type 2, MAC Advertisement Route. The Route Distinguisher is encoded as an NLRI value. Since the MAC address belongs to a VLAN without a routing interface, it is not present in the ARP Table, from which the IP address is derived for the IP field. Consequently, the IP address is not included in the NLRI. The received label field defines the L2 VNI, which the remote VTEP must use in the VXLAN tunnel header when forwarding data packets to TS1.

Figure 3-5: Local VTEP Leaf-101: MAC Address Learning Process.

Figure 3-6 shows the Remote Leaf-102 Control Plane process when it receives a BGP Update message from Leaf-101 via the Spine switch. Leaf-102 stores the BGP Update message information unchanged in the BGP-Adj-RIB table. According to the BGP import policy (import RT 65000:10010) configured for EVPN Instance 10010 on Leaf-102, the information from the BGP Update message is stored in the BGP Loc-RIB. During the transfer process, the global admin field of the NLRB's RD value is replaced with the NVE interface address of Leaf-102 (192.168.10.102). Besides, during the process, it is checked whether the BGP Update message has been received from one of Leaf-102's configured BGP Peer and whether a route to the IP address in the Next-Hop field is found in the Unicast RIB.

The MAC address, along with the Next-Hop IP address and L2VNI, is stored from the BGP Loc-RIB into the MAC-VRF. The information is marked as learned from the received BGP Update message (Prod: BGP, Flags: Received). L2VNI 10010 is associated with the Next-Hop IP address 192.168.20.101. Subsequently, L2FM stores the information in the MAC address table. Control Plane MAC indicates that the address has been learned through the Control Plane. The destination port is marked as the one indicated by MAC-VRF's Next-Hop IP.


Figure 3-6: Remote VTEP Leaf-102: MAC Address Learning Process.

Local VTEP Leaf-101: Low-Level Control Plane Analysis


In this section, we examine how the MAC address of TS1 is propagated across the Broadcast Domain from the VLAN 10 MAC address table on the local VTEP Leaf-101 to the VLAN 10 MAC address table on the remote VTEP Leaf-102. Figure 3-7 depicts the databases where the MAC address is stored during the propagation process from Leaf-101 to Leaf-102 via Spine-11.

Local Learning: MAC Address Table Update


In Figure 3-7, Interface Eth1/5 on Leaf-101 is a VLAN 10 Access port. When TS1 sends the first Ethernet frame, the Layer 2 Forwarding Manger (L2FM) records the source MAC address into VLAN 10 MAC address table. Besides the VLAN ID and the ingress port, the entry Type is dynamic. 



Figure 3-7: Local MAC Address Table Update.

Example 3-2 confirms that Leaf-101 has learned the MAC address 0050.7966.6806 from port Eth1/5 and it belongs to VLAN 10.

Example 3-3 verifies that the MAC address has been learned on interface Eth1/5 (Interface Index 0x1a000800) and stored in the MAC address table (Db: 0-MACDB) by L2FM (Source: 1-LFM). Subsequently, the address information is sent to the MAC-VRF (Operation: SEND_MAC_INS_TO_L2I).

Local Learning: MAC-VRF/L2RIB Table Update


In this section, we will examine how MAC-VRF updating works.


Figure 3-9: Local MAC-VRF(L2RIB) Update Process – Receive.

Example 3-5 demonstrates how the L2RIB update process works from bottom to top. L2RIB receives local MAC address information and creates a new entry for it. The Next-Hop port is set to Eth1/5, and the VXLAN Network Identifier/EVPN Instance identifier (VNI/EVI) is set to 10010.

Local Learning: BGP Processes


First, we examine how the BGP process receives the MAC address with its reachability information.


Figure 3-11: MAC Address Propagation Process – From BGP Loc-RIB.

Example 3-9 illustrates how the BGP process receives the MAC Route 0050.7966.6806 from the L2RIB on L2VNI 10010.

Example 3-9: BGP Table Update Process#1.

Example 3-10 confirms that the MAC address is stored in the BGP table as an EVPN Route Type 2 (MAC Advertisement Route). We examine the fields of the MAC Advertisement Route in Example 3-11, which displays the MAC Advertisement Route entry in the BGP Loc-RIB.

<snip>

Example 3-10: BGP Table Update Process#2.

Figure 3-9: MAC Address Propagation Process – Local MAC-VRF Address Table.

Example 3-11 shows the complete MAC Address information stored in the BGP Loc-RIB. The first part of the auto-generated Route Distinguisher (RD) is the Leaf-101's BGP RID. The second part adds a VLAN ID to the base number 32767. In our example, the complete RD is 192.168.10.101:32777. For MAC-Only routing entries, the significant address fields are:
  • [2 ] - EVPN Route Type: MAC Advertisement Route,
  • [48] - MAC address Length MAC in bits [48]
  • [00507966.6806] –MAC address. 
All other fields are set to zero. 

The BGP process uses the IP address 192.168.20.101 of Interface NVE1 as the next-hop and IP address 192.168.10.101 as the BGP Update source address. The BGP process derives the Extended Communities Route Target (RT) 65000:10010 from BGP ASN and EVPN Instance ID and the Encapsulation type from the NVE1 tunnel interface, which uses VXLAN encapsulation.

The last row shows that the MAC Advertisement route is advertised to both our spine switches, to Spine-11 (192.168.10.11) and Spine-12 (192.168.10.12).

Example 3-11: BGP Table Routing Entry for MAC Address of TS1.


After encoding the BGP EVPN MAC Advertisement route into the BGP-Loc RIB, the BGP process proceeds to program this information into neighbor-specific Adj-RIB-Out tables for all eligible BGP EVPN peers. From the perspective of Leaf-101, 'eligible' means that only local MAC Advertisement routes will be propagated to spine switches. The default BGP loop prevention mechanism ensures that routes learned from one iBGP peer are not advertised to another iBGP peer. In other words, Leaf-101 refrains from advertising NLRIs learned from Spine-11 to Spine-12.



Figure 3-12: MAC Address Propagation Process – From BGP Adj-RIB-Out.

In Example 3-13, Leaf-101 sends the EVPN MAC Advertisement Route to Spine-11. The Route Distinguisher is 192.168.10.101:32777, and the published local route is [2]:[0]:[0]:[48]:[0050.7966.6806]:[0]:[0.0.0.0]/216 with the next-hop 192.168.20.101 (NVE1). The BGP Update message instructs remote VTEPs to utilize Layer 2 VXLAN Identifier (L2VNI) 10010 in the VXLAN tunnel header for this destination.

Capture 3-1: BGP Update Message from Leaf-101 to Spine-11.


Example 3-14 verifies that Spine-11 has received the MAC Advertisement route from Leaf-101. However, as the example shows, Spine-11 has not imported it to Loc-RIB. And how do we know that? First, the Route Distinguisher global admin value is the BGP RID of Leaf-101, not the BGP RID of Spine itself. Second, neither "Import to" nor "Import from" sections are listed on the output. The last line verifies that Spine-11, as a BGP Route Reflector, has advertised this EVPN MAC Advertisement route to leaf switches Leaf-102, Leaf-103, and Leaf-104.
