Extreme SLX-OS Layer 2 Switching Configuration Guide, 20.6.1

Enter global configuration mode.

device# configure terminal

Enter the overlay-gateway command, specify the name of a gateway, and enter VxLAN overlay gateway configuration mode.

device(config)# overlay-gateway GW1

Enter the map vlan vni command and specify l2-extension.

device(config-overlay-gw-GW1)# map vlan 5 vni 5000

Enter the map bridge-domain command and specify a bridge domain and VNI.

device(config-overlay-gw-GW1)# map bridge-domain 1 vni 2000

Enter the ip interface command and specify a loopback ID.

device(config-overlay-gw-GW1)# ip interface loopback 1

Enter the activate command to activate the site.

device(config-overlay-gw-GW1)# activate

In global configuration mode, enable EVPN configuration mode and configure the EVPN instance.

Enter default EVPN configuration mode.
```
device(config)# evpn
```
Default mode is the only available mode.
Enable the auto-generation of the import and export route-target community attributes for the default EVPN instance.
```
device(config-evpn-default)# route-target both auto
```
Enable the auto-generation of a route distinguisher (RD) for the default EVPN instance.
```
device(config-evpn-default)# rd auto
```

Add the BDs to the default EVPN instance.

device(config-evpn-default)# bridge-domain add 1-2

Add the VLANs to the default EVPN instance.
```
device(config-evpn-default)# vlan add 11-12
```

Configure BGP routing with neighbor and address-family attributes.

In global configuration mode, enable BGP routing and enter BGP router configuration mode.
```
device(config)# router bgp
```
Specify the autonomous system number (ASN) for the AS in which the remote neighbor resides.
```
device(config-bgp-router)# neighbor 7.7.100.7 remote-as 100
```
Configure the BGP device to communicate with a neighbor through a specified interface, in this case loopback 1.
```
device(config-bgp-router)# neighbor 7.7.100.7 update-source loopback 1
```
Repeat the above two substeps for the other peer address, as in the following example.
```
 neighbor 8.8.100.8 remote-as 100
 neighbor 8.8.100.8 update-source loopback 1
```

Enable IPv4 and IPv6 unicast address-family.

device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast

Enable the L2VPN address-family configuration mode to configure a variety of BGP EVPN options.

Enable L2VPN address-family configuration mode and enter BGP EVPN configuration mode.
```
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family l2vpn evpn
```

Specify VxLAN encapsulation for the first peer.

device(config-bgp-evpn)# neighbor 8.8.100.8 encapsulation vxlan

Enable the exchange of information with BGP neighbors and peer groups.
```
device(config-bgp-evpn)# neighbor 8.8.100.8 activate
  
```

In privileged EXEC mode, enter the show overlay-gateway command to confirm the gateway configuration.

device# show overlay-gateway
