BGP Auto-peering Leaf/Spine with VXLAN Example

The following example shows a leaf/spine topology of ExtremeSwitching X690 switches with VXLAN with users on VLAN green.

Note

Note

An Advanced Edge or Base license must be installed on all switches.

The following commands reserve 10 VLANs.

Leaf 1

create auto-peering bgp routerid 1.1.1.120 AS-number 345200

create vlan "tenant"
configure vlan tenant tag 901

configure vlan tenant suppress arp-only (recommended but not necessary)

configure vlan tenant ipaddress 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
disable igmp snooping vlan "tenant"
enable ipforwarding vlan tenant

create vrrp vlan tenant vrid 151
configure vrrp vlan tenant vrid 151 host-mobility on
configure vrrp vlan tenant vrid 151 add 10.1.1.254
