The VXLAN Gateway implementation is available in the following modes:
Base Interworking Mode – This is the default mode. In this mode, VXLAN Gateway supports Layer 2 gateway communication between VXLAN and traditional VLAN environments.
Full Interworking Mode – This mode supports the Base mode communication between VXLAN and traditional VLAN environments as well as VXLAN-to-VXLAN communication and all SPB functionality including vIST and SMLT. To enter this mode, you must enable the vxlan-gw-full-interworking-mode boot configuration flag.
Note
Changing the mode requires a reboot for the change to take effect.
