VxLAN Layer 2 gateway support for bridge domains

Since a bridge domain supports different port and VLAN endpoints, all of its traffic can be extended to a remote node through one VNI.

Also, VxLAN gateway support to bridge domains enables VLAN translation of traffic on both sides of the network. The local VLANs can use different VLAN tags on either side of the network and map to the same VNI.

Note

Note

Only point-to-multipoint bridge domains can be extended over VxLAN tunnels. Point-to-point bridge domains cannot be extended.

You can extend the bridge domain under a site configuration. You can configure the bridge domain to VNI mapping automatically with auto mode where the bridge domain to the VNI is mapped implicitly. For example, VLANs 1 through 4096 are mapped to VNI 1 through 4090, respectively, and the bridge domain 1 is mapped to 4097. You can also configure the bridge domain to a VNI map manually, similarly to that of a VLAN.

Note

Note

The default tagging mode for a bridge domain is raw mode.
