By default, the system IP address is used to terminate and generate VXLAN traffic. The following configuration example shows an Epipe service that supports static VXLAN termination:
config service epipe 1 name "epipe1" customer 1 create
sap 1/1/1:1 create
exit
vxlan vni 100 create
egr-vtep 192.0.2.1
oper-group op-grp-1
exit
no shutdown
Where:
vxlan vni vni create specifies the ingress VNI the router uses to identify packets for the service. The following considerations apply.
In services that use EVPN, the configured VNI is only used as the ingress VNI to identify packets that belong to the service. Egress VNIs are learned from the BGP EVPN. In the case of Static VXLAN, the configured VNI is also used as egress VNI (because there is no BGP EVPN control plane).
The configured VNI is unique in the system, and as a result, it can only be configured in one service (VPLS or Epipe).
egr-vtep ip-address specifies the remote VTEP the router uses when encapsulating frames into VXLAN packets. The following consideration apply.
When the PE receives VXLAN packets, the source VTEP is not checked against the configured egress VTEP.
The ip-address must be present in the global routing table so that the VXLAN destination is operationally up.
The oper-group may be added under egr-vtep. The expected behavior for the operational group and service status is as follows.
If the egr-vtep entry is not present in the routing table, the VXLAN destination (in the show service id vxlan command) and the provisioned operational group under egr-vtep enters into the operationally down state.
The service goes down if the Epipe SAP goes down, but it is not affected if the VXLAN destination goes down.
If the service is admin shutdown, then in addition to the SAP, the VXLAN destination and the oper-group also enters the operationally down state.
The following features are not supported by Epipe services with VXLAN destinations.
