VM Mobility Support

VM mobility is the ability of virtual machines to migrate between one server and another while retaining their
existing MAC and IP addresses.
The following are the two key components in EVPN Route Type 2 that enable VM Mobility:
• Host MAC advertisement component that is imported into local bridge MAC table, and Layer 2 bridged
• Host IP advertisement component that is imported into the IP routing table in a symmetric IRB design,
The above-mentioned components are advertised together in a single MAC + IP host route advertisement. An
additional MAC-only route could also be advertised.
The following behaviors of VM are supported. The VM can:
• retain existing MAC and acquire a new IP address
• retain existing IP address and acquire a new MAC
• retain both existing MAC and IP address
Note IRB solution supports VM mobility with IP+MAC pair. VM mobility move, with new IP to MAC, or new
MAC to IP, is not supported.
