VXLAN Journey - Part 06 - VXLAN and vPC Leaf Switches
This is the last part before we scale up our topology with dedicated Spine, Leaf, Border Gateway and Border Leaf switches which represent - how VXLAN network is built in modern data center networks. In this blog - we will explore how to configure a pair of vPC switches for VXLAN/MPBGP-EVPN. We need to do some extra configurations in the switches because in vPC enabled switches, they each member switch run their own control plane (no shared control plane when we connect switches using stacking). Network Topology Our topology looks like below - 01 - Network Topology Other network settings are - BGP ASN - 64512 loopback0 - 10.81.0.X/32 loopback1 - 10.81.1.X/32 loopback1 secondary (vPC switches only) - 10.81.1.23/32 Anycast GW MAC 2020.0000.00aa Vlan 100 - L3VNI 100000 - Vrf-Blue Vlan 101 - L2VNI 100101 - 10.85.101.0/24 Vlan 102 - L2VNI 100102 - 10.85.102.0/24 vPC keep-alive - over mgmt0 interface - 10.10.11.X/24 vPC peer-link - port-channel 500 (e1/3 & e1/4) System NV...
