Static Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN)
When you create a Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) , you need Network Virtualization Platform (NVP) Controller to congure and control
the VXLAN. When you create a VXLAN instance in static mode, you can congure the VXLAN using CLIs instead of using the Controller.
Once you create a VXLAN instance in the static mode, you can create a VNI prole, associate a VNID to the VNI prole, associate a remote
VTEP to the VNID, and associate the VNID to a VLAN using the CLIs.
Conguring Static VXLAN
Port VLAN bindings in the context of VXLAN is achieved by associating a port to VLAN using tagged or untagged interface CLIs. If a VLAN
has VNID associated and the port is VXLAN-enabled, then port-vlan participates in VXLAN and Layer 2 switching does not happen in that
port-vlan. A VXLAN-enabled VLAN can also have non-VXLAN ports as members. But switching cannot happen between VXLAN ports and
non-VXLAN ports.
To congure the static VXLAN on the switch, follow these steps:
1 Enable VXLAN conguration globally on the platform.
CONFIGURATION mode
feature vxlan
2 Enable static VXLAN instance.
CONFIGURATION mode
INTERFACE mode
vxlan-instance instance ID [static]
You can congure vxlan-instance on INTERFACE mode to enable VXLAN on specic ports.
3 Set the local IP Address that can be used as a source for VXLAN tunnels.
VXLAN-INSTANCE mode
local-vtep-ip IP Address
4 Create a VNI prole to associate with remote VTEP conguration.
VXLAN-INSTANCE mode
vni—profile profile name
5 Associate VNID to the VNI prole.
VNI-PROFILE mode
vnid VNID Range
6 Create a remote tunnel and associate the remote VTEP to the VNID.
VXLAN-INSTANCE mode
remote—vtep—ip remote IP Address vni-profile profile name
7 Enable the VXLAN.
VXLAN-INSTANCE mode
no shutdown
8 Enable VXLAN instance on the interface. The interface should not be on layer 2.
