VXLAN Part 1 | Encapsulating the network

In this video , I provide an intro to VXLAN, a critical component of data center networks. I break down what VXLAN is, how it works and what happens to the data frames in a VXLAN encapsulated network.

VXLAN to discover neighbors: ==> Flood and learn = to build MAC tables (consumes a lot) ==> BGP EVPN (VTEP switches share info with BGP)

Hi Rich! Great content! I am now on my CCIE EI journey and your video definitely helps me understand the VXLAN. Looking forward to seeing Part 2. BTW, I believe your camera was focusing on your monitor (nice Europa picture there) instead of yourself.

[@RichTechGuy]

Thank you. I'm working to get part 2 out this week. Also working on the focusing issue as it does seem like half of my shots are focused on the background. Good luck on your CCIE journey.

[@NarootW]

@@RichTechGuy Thanks! I personally use Canon EOS R for recording. The eye-detection AF works for me.

How's that Swingline line working for you? Bind up much?

[@RichTechGuy]

I got that swingline as a joke and reference to "Office Space" back when I had a desk at my company's office. Since I was listed as a remote employee and didn't come into the office every day, they kept moving my desk further and further away until I was by myself in a corner of the building that nobody went to.

9 steps are crazy, this isn't simplifying the network

[@RichTechGuy]

VXLAN isn't simple. Being able to have multiple layer 2 networks communicate with each other over a layer 3 network, without the layer 2 traffic being processed by layer 3 protocols isn't simple. The simple version would be a VPN, but that is point-to-point, VXLAN operates as multipoint-to-multipoint. There are offerings that use VXLAN but also deploy automation to simplify the administrative process. One such offering is Cisco ACI.
