Enter the result of your step here (optional).
2. Create an uplink-state group.
CONFIGURATION mode
uplink-state-group group-id
group-id: values are from 1 to 16.
3. Assign a VLT port channel to the uplink-state group as an upstream link.
UPLINK-STATE-GROUP mode
upstream interface
4. Assign a network port or port channel to the uplink-state group as a downstream link.
UPLINK-STATE-GROUP mode
{upstream | downstream} interface
Configuring NSX-based VxLAN on VLT Peer Devices
To connect to an NVP controller in a VLT setup, use the following commands.
1. Enable the VxLAN feature.
CONFIGURATION mode
feature vxlan
2. Create a VxLAN instance that connects to the controller.
CONFIGURATION mode
vxlan-instance instance ID nsx
NSX is the default value.
3. Define how the device connects to the controller.
VxLAN INSTANCE mode
controller controller-ID ip address port port-number TCP | SSL
The port number range is from 1 to 6632. The default connection type is SSL.
4. Enter the VxLAN gateway IP adress.
VxLAN INSTANCE mode
gateway-ip gateway-IP-address
5. Enter the IP address of the peer OVSDB server.
peer-ovsdbserver-ip ovsdb-IP-address
The peer OVSDB server is the peer VLT device.
6. Enter the fail mode.
VxLAN INSTANCE mode
fail-mode secure
7. Enable the VxLAN instance.
VxLAN INSTANCE mode
no shutdown
NOTE:
Dell EMC Networking recommends the non-secure fail mode if you are configuring VxLAN for a VLT setup and use
a physical L3 link for peer OVSDB connectivity. Also using of controller connected IP address for peer OVSDB connectivity
leads to double failure, when connected link fails..
Configuring VLT for NSX-based VxLAN
After configuring NSX-based VxLAN on the device, configure VLT. To configure VLT for NSX-based VxLAN, follow these steps:
1. Enable VLT on a switch, then configure a VLT domain and enter VLT-domain configuration mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN)
