EVPN Commands

Sending/Receiving Routes

To enable the capability to send and receive EVPN routes, use the following command and select the l2vpn-evpn option:

To disable the capability to send and receive EVPN routes, use the following command and select the l2vpn-evpn:

Creating/Deleting EVPN Instances

To create an EVPN instance, use the following command:

create bgp evpn instance evpn_instance_name

The EVPN instance becomes active if the configured VNI matches the configured VNI of a virtual-network.

To delete an EVPN instance, use the following command:

delete bgp evpn instance evpn_instance_name

Configuring EVPN Instances

To add or delete a virtual extensible local area network (VXLAN) virtual network identifier (VNI) to an EVPN instance, use the following command:

configure bgp evpn instance evpn_instance_name vxlan vni [vni_value | none]

To configure route targets for an EVPN instance, use the following command:

configure bgp evpn instance evpn_instance_name route-target {import | export | both} [add | delete] route_target

To configure route distinguishers for an EVPN instance, use the following command:

configure bgp evpn instance evpn_instance_name rd [rd_value | auto]

Enabling/disabling Next-Hop Unchanged Behavior

To enable overriding the specification behavior with respect to the next-hop of routes advertised to EBGP peers, use the following command:

enable bgp {neighbor [remoteaddr | all]} {{address-family} l2vpn-evpn} next-hop-unchanged

To disable overriding the specification behavior with respect to the next-hop of routes advertised to EBGP peers, use the following command:

disable bgp {neighbor [remoteaddr | all]} {{address-family} l2vpn-evpn} next-hop-unchanged

EVPN Type 5 Routes

To configure a Layer 3 virtual network identifier (VNI) and bind it to a VPN VRF, use the following command:

configure bgp evpn l3vni [vni_value | none] vr vr_name

To export direct, static, and BGP routes from a VRF into BGP, running on the specified VR, as EVPN routes to be advertised by BGP as Type 5 routes, use the following command:

enable bgp export [static | direct] {address-family address_family} l2vpn-evpn {vr vr_name}

To stop exporting direct, static, and BGP routes from a VRF into BGP, running on the specified VR, as EVPN routes to be advertised by BGP as Type 5 routes, use the following command:

disable bgp export [static | direct] {address-family address_family} l2vpn-evpn {vr vr_name}
