Disabling MAC Address Learning on Static VXLAN Tunnels
You can configure the system to not learn MAC addresses on static VXLAN tunnels or remote VTEPs.
MAC address learning on static VXLAN tunnels is Enabled by default. To disable MAC address learning on static VXLAN tunnels
or remote VTEPs, follow this procedure:
NOTE:
This command is only applicable for static VXLAN and does not work for the other modes of VXLAN (controller and
nuage).
The remote VTEP should already be configured.
In case of static VXLAN VLT deployments, this configuration should be symmetric across VLT nodes.

Preserving 802.1 p value across VXLAN tunnels
The 802.1p QoS marking preservation is supported over the VXLAN tunnel. The 802.1p priority is carried over from the VXLAN
tunnel to the remote VTEPVXLAN tunnel endpoint. The packets egress out to the correct queue based on the priority value.
In such a scenario, if there is any congestion in the queue, the system generates a pause. The network port should be a vlan for
priority to be carried by the vxlan outer header.
VXLAN Scenario
VXLAN tunnel stays down even if the remote VTEP IP is reachable through a recursive route. Following section explains the
scenario through an example configuration.
The following illustration depicts the topology in which the VTEPs are connected.
Figure 167. VXLAN Scenario
In the above illustration, R1 and R2 are the VTEPs that are trying to form the VXLAN tunnel. R3, the route reflector, exchanges
the routes across two IBGP peers (R1 and R2). Also, the R3 connects the R1 and R2 through a default route.
