VXLAN MP-BGP EVPN L2 VNI configuration on Cisco NX-OS 9000v

Text lesson: networklessons...
In this video, we dive deep into the configuration of VXLAN L2 VNI (Virtual Network Identifier) using MP-BGP EVPN (Multiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol Ethernet VPN) on Cisco NX-OS. VXLAN MP-BGP EVPN is a powerful solution that separates the control plane from the data plane, offering a more efficient and scalable network architecture. By leveraging MP-BGP, we can advertise MAC and IP address information between leaf switches, eliminating the need for traditional flood-and-learn mechanisms for unicast traffic.
Key points covered in this video include:
Introduction to VXLAN MP-BGP EVPN: Understand how VXLAN MP-BGP EVPN works and its advantages over traditional network configurations.
Control Plane and Data Plane Separation: Learn how MP-BGP is used for MAC/IP advertisement while VXLAN handles the data encapsulation.
Route Distinguisher and Route-Target: Discover the roles of the Route Distinguisher (RD) and Route-Target (RT) in ensuring unique route identification and route import/export mechanisms.
Handling BUM Traffic: Explore the methods for managing Broadcast, Unknown Unicast, and Multicast (BUM) traffic, including the configuration of static ingress replication or multicast.
Step-by-Step Configuration: Follow along with a detailed, hands-on configuration tutorial on Cisco NX-OS 9000v, showcasing the setup of MP-BGP EVPN and the use of multicast for BUM traffic.
