Configuring VXLAN BGP EVPN
Description
Suppresses the BGP MAC route so that BGP only
sends the MAC/IP route for a host.
Under NVE, the MAC updates for all VNIs are
suppressed.
• Receive-side — Suppressing the MAC
Note
route depends upon the capability of
the remote EVPN peer to derive a MAC
route from the MAC/IP route
(7.0(3)I2(2) and later). Avoid using the
"suppress mac-route" command if
devices in the network are running an
earlier NX-OS release.
• Send-side — Suppressing the MAC
route means that the sender has a
MAC/IP route. If your configuration
has pure-Layer 2 VNIs (such as no
corresponding VRF or Layer3-VNI),
then there is no corresponding MAC/IP
and you should avoid using the
"suppress mac-route" command.
Purpose
Enable VLAN-based VXLAN
Enable VXLAN
