Configuring VXLAN OAM
See the following examples of the configuration topology.
Figure 13: VXLAN Network
VXLAN OAM provides the visibility of the host at the switch level, that allows a leaf to ping the host using
the ping nve command.
The following example displays how to ping from Leaf 1 to VM2 via Spine 1.
switch# ping nve ip 209.165.201.5 vrf vni-31000 source 1.1.1.1 verbose
Codes: '!' - success, 'Q' - request not sent, '.' - timeout,
'D' - Destination Unreachable, 'X' - unknown return code,
'm' - malformed request(parameter problem),
'c' - Corrupted Data/Test, '#' - Duplicate response
Sender handle: 34
! sport 40673 size 39,Reply from 209.165.201.5,time = 3 ms
! sport 40673 size 39,Reply from 209.165.201.5,time = 1 ms
! sport 40673 size 39,Reply from 209.165.201.5,time = 1 ms
! sport 40673 size 39,Reply from 209.165.201.5,time = 1 ms
! sport 40673 size 39,Reply from 209.165.201.5,time = 1 ms
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/4/18 ms
Total time elapsed 49 ms
The source ip-address 1.1.1.1 used in the above example is a loopback interface that is configured on Leaf
Note
1 in the same VRF as the destination ip-address. For example, the VRF in this example is vni-31000.
