Managing the EVPN-VXLAN Fabric

date_range 01-Aug-23

Up to this point in the configuration of the EVPN-VXLAN fabric, we have used a topology with three virtual networks and one access layer switch that simulates an access closet. Use this section to add a second access switch and a new virtual network.

These configuration examples use the same devices you configured in the How to Configure a Campus Network using EVPN Multihoming configuration example.

Add an Access Layer Switch

Requirements

Overview

Use this section to add a new access layer switch (Access Switch 2) to the network that is multihomed to the same collapsed core switches. Figure 1 shows the physical topology with Access Switch 2.

Configuration

This section shows the step-by-step configuration procedures to add a new access Switch (Access Switch 2) to your network.

Collapsed Core 1 Configuration

Step-by-Step Procedure
  1. Specify the interface to include in the aggregated Ethernet bundle.

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    set interfaces ge-0/0/6 description "Access Switch 2"
    set interfaces ge-0/0/6 ether-options 802.3ad ae12 
    
  2. Configure the aggregated Ethernet interface to the new access layer switch and increase the ethernet device-count to two to support the additional aggregated Ethernet interface.

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    set chassis aggregated-devices ethernet device-count 2
    set interfaces ae12 description To-Access-2
    set interfaces ae12 mtu 9200
    set interfaces ae12 esi 00:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:02
    set interfaces ae12 esi all-active
    set interfaces ae12 aggregated-ether-options lacp active
    set interfaces ae12 aggregated-ether-options lacp periodic fast
    set interfaces ae12 aggregated-ether-options lacp system-id 00:40:00:00:00:02
    set interfaces ae12 unit 0 family ethernet-switching interface-mode trunk
    set interfaces ae12 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members VLAN-201
    set interfaces ae12 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members VLAN-202
    set interfaces ae12 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members VLAN-101
    set interfaces ae12 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members VLAN-102
    set interfaces ae12 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members VLAN-301
    set interfaces ae12 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members VLAN-302
    
    

Collapsed Core 2 Configuration

Step-by-Step Procedure
  1. Specify the interface to include in the aggregated Ethernet bundle.

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    set interfaces ge-0/0/6 description "Access Switch 2"
    set interfaces ge-0/0/6 ether-options 802.3ad ae12
    
  2. Configure the aggregated Ethernet interface to the new access layer switch and increase the ethernet device-count to two to support the additional aggregated Ethernet interface.

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    set chassis aggregated-devices ethernet device-count 2
    set interfaces ae12 description To-Access-2
    set interfaces ae12 mtu 9200
    set interfaces ae12 esi 00:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11:02
    set interfaces ae12 esi all-active
    set interfaces ae12 aggregated-ether-options lacp active
    set interfaces ae12 aggregated-ether-options lacp periodic fast
    set interfaces ae12 aggregated-ether-options lacp system-id 00:40:00:00:00:02
    set interfaces ae12 unit 0 family ethernet-switching interface-mode trunk
    set interfaces ae12 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members VLAN-201
    set interfaces ae12 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members VLAN-202
    set interfaces ae12 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members VLAN-101
    set interfaces ae12 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members VLAN-102
    set interfaces ae12 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members VLAN-301
    set interfaces ae12 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members VLAN-302
    
  3. (Optional) Enable IGMP snooping to constrain the flooding of IPv4 multicast traffic on the VLANs.

    content_copy zoom_out_map
    set protocols igmp-snooping vlan VLAN-201 interface ae11.0 multicast-router-interface 
    set protocols igmp-snooping vlan VLAN-202 interface ae11.0 multicast-router-interface
    set protocols igmp-snooping vlan VLAN-101 interface ae11.0 multicast-router-interface 
    set protocols igmp-snooping vlan VLAN-102 interface ae11.0 multicast-router-interface 
    set protocols igmp-snooping vlan VLAN-301 interface ae11.0 multicast-router-interface 
    set protocols igmp-snooping vlan VLAN-301 interface ae11.0 multicast-router-interface

    set interfaces ge-0/0/2 description "to campus-tme-ex4650-02"
