Tunnel Table

The Tunnel Table contains the information regarding VXLAN tunnels between the local VTEP and remote VTEP.

Number of Records in the Table: Many. Multiple records containing the fields described below can exist in this table; there is one record for each IP address of a remote VTEP.

Field R/W by ExtremeXOS R/W by NVC Notes
local W R String, UUID of the local Physical_Locator.
remote W R String, UUID of the remote Physical_Locator.
bfd_config_local : bfd_dst_mac W R String with the switch MAC address.
bfd_config_local : bfd_dst_ip W R String with the LTEP IP address.
bfd_config_remote : bfd_dst_mac R W String with the MAC address; see a. If no valid value is specified, default of 00:23:20:00:00:01 is used.
bfd_config_remote : bfd_dst_ip R W String with the IP address; see a. If no valid value is specified, default of 169.254.1.1 is used.

bfd_params : cpath_down R W Boolean, optional; see a. If no valid value is specified, default of false is used.
bfd_params : check_tnl_key R W Boolean, optional; see a. If no valid value is specified, default of false is used.
bfd_status : enabled W R Boolean; see a. Set to true when BFD has been successful initiated locally.
bfd_status : state W R String; see a. The current local state of the BFD session.
bfd_status : forwarding W R Boolean;see a. The current forwarding state of the VXLAN tunnel as per BFD monitoring.

bfd_status : remote_state R W String; see a. The current remote state of the BFD session.
bfd_status : remote_diagnostic R W String; see a.

Note

Note

  • This table primarily maintains the configuration and operational information for BFD monitoring of remote VTEP.
  • BFD can be used to verify and maintain the connection information with any RTEP.
  • BFD packets are VXLAN-encapsulated to verify the data path used by the overlay network.
