Concept Guide
Conguring BFD and UFD for VXLAN
For controller-based VXLAN, you can optionally congure BFD and UFD for more resiliency. To congure BFD and UFD, follow these steps:
1 Enable BFD globally.
CONFIGURATION mode
bfd enable
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
Conguring 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 Dene 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.
