designated-forwarder election hold-time

The optional designated-forwarder election hold-time command can configure a wait time before selecting the designated forwarder and allow potential forwarders a chance to advertise their EVPN ethernet segment (type 4) routes. The no and default forms of the command removes the election hold time.

Command Mode

EVPN ethernet segment identifier configuration mode

Command Syntax

designated-forwarder election hold-time sec

no designated-forwarder election hold-time sec

default designated-forwarder election hold-time sec

Parameter

sec Number of seconds for the timer waiting to receive updates from other PE. Range 0-1800.

Example
switch(config)# interface ethernet1
switch(config-if-Et1)# evpn ethernet-segment
switch(config-evpn-es)# designated-forwarder election hold-time 20

interface vxlan

The interface vxlan command places the switch in vxlan-interface configuration mode for modifying the specified VXLAN Tunnel Interface (VTI). The command also instantiates the interface if it was not previously created.

VXLAN interface configuration mode is not a group change mode; running-config is changed immediately after commands are executed. The exit command does not affect the configuration.

The no interface vxlan deletes the specified VTI interface, including its configuration statements, from running-config. The default interface vxlan command removes all configuration statements for the specified VTI from running-config without deleting the interfaces.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Command Syntax

interface vxlan vx_range

no interface vxlan vx_range

default interface vxlan vx_range

Parameter

vx_range    VXLAN interface number. The only permitted value is 1.

commands Available in link-flap configuration Mode

Examples
  • These commands create interface vxlan 1, place the switch in vxlan-interface configuration mode, then display parameters of the new VTI.
    switch(config)# interface vxlan 1
switch(config-if-Vx1)# show active
interface Vxlan1
   vxlan udp-port 4789
switch(config-if-Vx1)#
  • This command exits vxlan-interface configuration mode, placing the switch in global configuration mode.
    switch(config-if-Vx1)# exit
switch(config)#

ip address virtual

The ip address virtual command configures a specified address as the primary IPv4 address and as a virtual IP address for the configuration mode VLAN interface. The address resolves to the virtual MAC address configured through the ip virtual-router mac-address command. The command includes a subnet designation that is required in primary IP address assignments.

This command is typically used in VXLAN routing configurations as an alternative to assigning a unique IP address to each VTEP. All existing IPv4 addresses must be removed from the interface before executing this command.

The no ip address virtual and default ip address virtual commands remove the IPv4 address and virtual IP assignment from the configuration mode interface by deleting the ip address virtual command from running-config.

Removing the IPv4 address assignments from an interface disables IPv4 processing on that port.

Command Mode

Interface-VLAN configuration

Command Syntax

ip address virtual ipv4_subnet | secondary

no ip address virtual

default ip address virtual

Parameters

  • ipv4_subnet     IPv4 and subnet address (CIDR or address-mask notation).
  • secondary     Configures a secondary address on the loopback interface designated as the VXLAN’s source interface.

show vxlan flood vtep

The show vxlan flood vtep command displays the flood list that the switch is using to perform head-end replication. Head-end replication is a data distribution method that supports Broadcast, Unknown unicast, and Multicast (BUM) traffic over VXLANs by replicating BUM data locally for transmission to the set of remote VTEPs that a flood list specifies. The command displays the VLAN ID that references the configured VNIs (vxlan vlan vni ).

The flood list is determined by the vxlan flood vtep command.

Command Mode

EXEC

Command Syntax

show vxlan flood vtep [VLANS]

Parameters

VLANS      command filters display by the reference VLAN.
  • no parameter     all VLANs.
  • vlan v_range     VLANs specified by v_range.

    Valid v_range formats include number, range, or comma-delimited list of numbers and ranges.

Guidelines

The command displays flood list contents only when the VLAN line protocol status is up.

vxlan flood vtep

The vxlan flood vtep command supports VXLAN head-end replication by creating or modifying a list that specifies remote VTEPs to which the switch bridges replicated traffic. Head-end replication is a data distribution method that supports Broadcast, Unknown unicast, and Multicast (BUM) traffic over VXLANs by replicating BUM data locally for transmission to the set of remote VTEPs that a flood list specifies. This data flooding facilitates remote MAC address learning through the forwarding of data with unknown MACs.

Each vxlan flood vtep statement in running-config associates a set of VTEP addresses to an access VNI. A default flood list is also configurable that applies to all VNIs for which a flood list is not configured. The vxlan flood vtep command is available in the following formats to create or modify corresponding running-config statements:
  • vxlan flood vtep creates a statement for a specified VNI and replaces existing statements for that VNI.
  • vxlan flood vtep add modifies an existing flood statement by adding the specified VTEPs. This statement creates a list if it references a VNI that has no flood statement.
  • vxlan flood vtep remove modifies an existing flood statement by deleting the specified VTEPs. This statement has no effect if it references a VNI that has no flood statement.
The vxlan flood vtep command specifies a VNI by referencing its associated VLAN ID (vxlan vlan vni). The command provides these options for specifying the reference VLANs:
  • a single VLAN: creates or modifies a single statement referenced by the command.
  • a range of VLANs: creates or modifies all statements referenced by the VLAN range.
  • no VLAN: creates or modifies the default list.

The no vxlan flood vtep and default vxlan flood vtep commands remove the specified flood list by deleting the corresponding vxlan flood vtep statements from running-config. commands that specify a VLAN range remove all corresponding statements.

Command Mode

Example

These commands configure VTI 1 to use the IP address 10.25.25.3 as the source address of outbound VXLAN frames.

switch(config)# interface loopback 15
switch(config-if-Lo15)# ip address 10.25.25.3/24
switch(config-if-Lo15)# exit
switch(config)# interface vxlan 1
switch(config-if-Vx1)# vxlan source-interface loopback 15
switch(config-if-Vx1)# show active
interface Vxlan1
   vxlan source-interface Loopback15
   vxlan udp-port 4789
switch(config-if-Vx1)#

vxlan udp-port

The vxlan udp-port command associates a UDP port with the configuration mode VXLAN Interface (VTI). By default, UDP port 4789 is associated with the VTI.

Packets bridged to the VTI from a VLAN are encapsulated with a VXLAN header that includes the VNI associated with the VLAN and the IP address of the VTEP that connects to the recipient, then sent through the UDP port. Packets that arrive through the UDP port are sent to the bridging domain of the recipient VLAN as determined by the VNI number in the VXLAN header and the interface’s VNI-VLAN map.

The no vxlan udp-port and default vxlan udp-port command restores the default UDP port association (4789) on the configuration mode interface by deleting the corresponding vxlan udp-port command from running-config.

Command Mode

Interface-VXLAN configuration

Command Syntax

vxlan udp-port port_id

no vxlan udp-port

default vxlan udp-port

Parameters

port_id     UDP port number. Value ranges from 1024 to 65535.

Guidelines

UDP port 4789 is reserved by convention for VXLAN usage. Under most typical applications, this parameter should be set to the default value.

interface vxlan places the switch in interface-vxlan configuration mode.

Examples
  • This command associates UDP port 5500 with interface vxlan 1.
    switch(config)# interface vxlan 1
switch(config-if-Vx1)# vxlan udp-port 5500
switch(config-if-Vx1)# show active
interface Vxlan1
   vxlan udp-port 5500
switch(config-if-Vx1)#
  • This command resets the interface vxlan 1 UDP port association of 4789.
    switch(config-if-Vx1)# no vxlan udp-port
switch(config-if-Vx1)# show active
interface Vxlan1
   vxlan udp-port 4789
switch(config-if-Vx1)#

vxlan vlan vni

The vxlan vlan vni command associates a VLAN ID with a virtual network identifier (VNI). A VNI is a 24-bit number that is assigned to a VLAN to distinguish it from other VLANs that are on a VXLAN Tunnel Interface (VTI). VNI values range from 1 to 16777215 in decimal notation and from 0.0.1 to 255.255.255 in dotted decimal notation.

When a VLAN bridges a packet to the VTI, the packet is encapsulated with a VXLAN header that includes the VNI that is associated with the VLAN. Packets that arrive on the VTI’s UDP socket are bridged to the VLAN that is associated with the VNI specified by the VXLAN header that encapsulates the packet.

The VTI requires a one-to-one correspondence between specified VLANs and VNI values. commands that assign a new VNI to a previously configured VLAN replace the existing VLAN assignment statement in running-config. commands that attempt to assign a VNI value to a second VLAN generate a CLI error.

The no vxlan vlan vni and default vxlan vlan vni commands remove the specified VLAN-VNI association from the configuration mode interface by deleting the corresponding vxlan vlan command from running-config.

Command Mode

Interface-VXLAN configuration

Command Syntax

vxlan vlan vlan_id vni [vni_id ]

no vxlan vlan vlan_id vni [vni_id]

default vxlan vlan vlan_id vni [vni_id]

Parameters
  • vlan_id     number of access VLAN. Value ranges from 1 to 4094.
  • vni_id     VNI number. Valid formats: decimal 1 to 16777215 or dotted decimal 0.0.1 to 255.255.255.

Example

These commands associate vlan 100 to vni 100 and vlan 200 to vni 10.10.200.
switch(config)# interface vxlan 1
switch(config-if-Vx1)# vxlan vlan 100 vni 100
switch(config-if-Vx1)# vxlan vlan 200 vni 10.10.200
switch(config-if-Vx1)# show active
interface Vxlan1
   vxlan udp-port 4789
   vxlan vlan 200 vni 658120
   vxlan vlan 100 vni 100
switch(config-if-Vx1)# vxlan vni notation dotted
switch(config-if-Vx1)# show active
interface Vxlan1
   vxlan udp-port 4789
   vxlan vlan 200 vni 10.10.200
   vxlan vlan 100 vni 0.0.100
switch(config-if-Vx1)#

vxlan vni notation dotted

The vxlan vni notation dotted command configures the switch to display VNIs in dotted decimal notation. A Virtual Network Identifier (VNI) is a 24-bit number that is assigned to a VLAN to distinguish it from other VLANs that are on a VXLAN tunnel interface. VNI values range from 1 to 16777215 in decimal notation and from 0.0.1 to 255.255.255 in dotted decimal notation.

The command affects the VNI number display in all show commands, including show running-config. commands that include VNI as a parameter may use decimal or dotted decimal notion regardless of the setting of this command. By default, show commands display VNI number in decimal notation.

The no vxlan vni notation dotted and default vxlan vni notation dotted commands restore the default setting of displaying vni numbers in decimal notation by deleting the vxlan vni notation dotted command from running-config.
