Conguring VxLAN Gateway
To congure the VxLAN gateway on the switch, follow these steps:
1 Connecting to NVP controller
2 Advertising VXLAN access ports to controller
Connecting to an NVP Controller
To connect to an NVP controller, use the following commands.
1 Enable the VXLAN feature.
CONFIGURATION mode
feature vxlan
You must congure feature VXLAN to congure vxlan-instance.
2 Create a VXLAN instance that connects to the controller.
CONFIGURATION mode
vxlan-instance instance ID {nsx | Nuage}
Use the nsx keyword to connect to an NSX controller. Use the nuage keyword to connect to a Nuage controller. NSX is the default
value.
3 Dene 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 backo 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
