In a BGP EVPN deployment, each node in an LVTEP pair is an independent BGP speaker.
The LVTEP control plane uses MCT Control Plane Designated Forwarder Election among the cluster peers. BGP VXLAN tunnels that are discovered automatically are treated as cluster client end points (CCEPs).
The following table shows Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI) values for the VXLAN tunnels.
The ESI label is allocated globally for the LVTEP and is the same for all LVTEP tunnels. The tunnel operational status that is used for LVTEP tunnels is the same as that used for cluster clients.
Note
LVTEP is supported with the default TCAM profile.All the show commands that apply to MCT clients also apply to tunnel cluster clients.
