Specifying a VTEP access port
For the controller to manage a site-facing interface, you must specify the interface as a VTEP access
port.
To specify a VTEP access port:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Enter interface view.
3.
Specify the interface as a
VTEP access port.
Enabling flood proxy on multicast VXLAN tunnels
If you use a flood proxy server, you must enable flood proxy globally on multicast tunnels. Then the
multicast tunnels are converted into flood proxy tunnels. The VTEP sends broadcast, multicast, and
unknown unicast traffic for a VXLAN to the flood proxy server through the tunnels. The flood proxy
server then replicates and forwards flood traffic to remote VTEPs.
To enable flood proxy on multicast VXLAN tunnels:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Enable flood proxy on
multicast VXLAN tunnels.
