Deployment Guide

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. TCP, PTCP, and PSSL are supported with
NSX controller only.
4. Enter the gateway IP
VxLAN INSTANCE mode
gateway-ip IP address
5. Enter the maximum backoff time (Optional).
VxLAN INSTANCE mode
max_backoff time
The range is from 1000-180000. The default value is 30000 milliseconds.
6. Enter the fail mode (Optional).
VxLAN INSTANCE mode
fail-mode secure
Dell EMC Networking recommends non-secure mode for an NSX controller-based VXLAN in a VLT setup.
7. Enable the VXLAN instance.
VxLAN INSTANCE mode
no shutdown
Advertising VXLAN Access Ports to Controller
To advertise the access ports to the controller, use the following command.
In INTERFACE mode, vxlan-instance command configures a VXLAN-Access Port into a VXLAN-instance.
INTERFACE mode
vxlan-instance
NOTE:
In NSX-based VXLAN environment, the removal of a port specific to virtual network binding from a VTEP clears all
remote MAC address entries of the virtual network in remote VTEP node.
Displaying VXLAN Configurations
To display the VXLAN configurations, use the following commands.
The following example shows the show vxlan vxlan-instance command.
DellEMC#show vxlan vxlan-instance 1
