Example: Configuring VNI Route Targets Manually

Step-by-Step Procedure

This procedure shows how to configure a route target manually for all VNIs in the default switch instance. This is a global level manual route target configuration.

1. At the [edit switch-options] hierarchy level, configure the vtep-source-interface and route-distiguisher statements. Next, configure the vrf-target statement with a target value. All EVPN routes for all VLANs and corresponding VNIs will use the vrf-target address configured in this step.

   [edit switch-options]
   user@switch# set vtep-source-interface lo0.0
   user@switch# set route-distinguisher 192.168.1.11:1
   user@switch# set vrf-target target:1111:11
   

   Note:

   You can optionally include vrf-import and vrf-export policies to further distinguish the routes to import and export that match the route target.

2. At the [edit protocols evpn] hierarchy level, configure EVPN with VXLAN encapsulation, and specify the VNIs you want to extend into the EVPN instance. In this example, we configure the extended-vni-list statement with the all option to apply the route target to all VNIs.

   [edit protocols evpn]
   user@switch# set encapsulation vxlan
   user@switch# set extended-vni-list all
   

Results

After following the steps above and committing the configuration, use the show configuration command to verify the results of your configuration.

user@switch> show configuration switch-options
vtep-source-interface lo0.0;
route-distinguisher 192.168.1.11:1;
vrf-target {
    target:1111:11;
}
user@switch> show configuration protocols evpn
encapsulation vxlan;
extended-vni-list all;

Step by Step Procedure

This procedure shows how to configure a route target manually in an EVPN-VXLAN fabric for all VNIs in a MAC-VRF instance (MAC-VRF1) with the vlan-aware service type. We also manually configure a different route target specifically for VNI 100 in the same instance.

1. At the [edit routing-instances MAC-VRF1] hierarchy level, configure the routing instance with the mac-vrf instance type and service type vlan-aware. Set the vtep-source-interface and route-distiguisher statements for the instance. Manually configure a vrf-target value at the global level in the routing instance. This global level route target corresponds to EVPN Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 routes for the VNIs you extend into the EVPN instance (see the next step).

   [edit routing-instances MAC-VRF1]
   user@switch# set vtep-source-interface lo0.0
   user@switch# set instance-type mac-vrf
   user@switch# set service-type vlan-aware
   user@switch# set route-distinguisher 192.168.2.11:1
   user@switch# set vrf-target target:1111:11
   

2. At the [edit routing instances MAC-VRF1 protocols evpn] hierarchy level, configure EVPN with VXLAN encapsulation. List the VNIs you want to extend into the EVPN instance using the extended-vni-list statement. In this example, we list two VNIs, 100 and 101. We also configure an export route target value at the [edit routing-instances name protocols evpn vni-options vni vni] hierarchy level specifically for VNI 100. As a result, the route target you set the previous step applies to any EVPN Type 1 routes and only to VNI 101 for EVPN Type 2 and Type 3 routes. The VNI level route target you set in this step applies to VNI 100 for EVPN Type 2 and Type 3 routes.

   [edit routing instances MAC-VRF1 protocols evpn]
   user@switch# set encapsulation vxlan
   user@switch# set extended-vni-list 100 101
   user@switch# set vni-options vni 100 vrf-target export target:1234:11
