VXLAN Journey - Part 04 - rt-2 (mac+ip), rt-5 (prefix-route), router-mac, symmetric irb and intra-vrf packet walkthrough
In Part 03 - we have covered a lot of things related to single-site VXLAN implementation. But several things we have not explained. Let's explain them now. Network Topology Our topology is the same as previous blog - 01 - Network Topology Route-type 2 (mac+ip) We already know about rt-2 with which contains mac address of our connected hosts. Now we are seeing another type of rt-2 (mac+ip) which contains both mac and ip address of our connected hosts. This type of rt-2 will be generated if we have VRF/L3VNI only. Vlan 101 is configured on both Leaf-Sw-01 and Leaf-Sw-02. But Vlan 102 is configured on Leaf-Sw-02 only. Leaf-Sw-02 will send both combinations of rt-2 (mac) and rt-2 (mac+ip) to Leaf-Sw-01 for both the vlans.
