Non-system IPv4 and IPv6 VXLAN termination in VPLS, R-VPLS, and Epipe services

Prerequisites

By default, only VXLAN packets with the same IP destination address as the system IPv4 address of the router can be terminated and processed for a subsequent MAC lookup. A router can simultaneously terminate VXLAN tunnels destined for its system IP address and three additional non-system IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, which can be on the base router or VPRN instances. This section describes the configuration requirements for services to terminate VXLAN packets destined for a non-system loopback IPv4 or IPv6 address on the base router or VPRN.

About this task

Perform the following steps to configure a service with non-system IPv4 or IPv6 VXLAN termination:

Procedure

  1. Create the FPE (see FPE creation)
  2. Associate the FPE with VXLAN termination (see FPE association with VXLAN termination)
  3. Configure the router loopback interface (see VXLAN router loopback interface)
  4. Configure VXLAN termination (non-system) VTEP addresses (see VXLAN termination VTEP addresses)
  5. Add the service configuration (see VXLAN services)

What to do next

The following actions must be considered when the aforementioned steps are completed.
