Use undo xconnect vsi to remove the mapping between an Ethernet service instance and a VSI.
Syntax
xconnect vsi vsi-name [ access-mode { ethernet | vlan } ]
undo xconnect vsi
Default
An Ethernet service instance is not mapped to any VSI.

Parameters
vsi-name: Specifies the VSI name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters.
access-mode: Specifies an access mode. By default, the access mode is VLAN.
ethernet: Specifies the Ethernet access mode.
vlan: Specifies the VLAN access mode.
Usage guidelines
To configure this command, you must first use the encapsulation command to add traffic match criteria to
the Ethernet service instance.
For traffic that matches the Ethernet service instance, the system uses the VSI's MAC address table to
make a forwarding decision.
The access mode determines how a VTEP processes the 802.1Q VLAN tags in the inner Ethernet frames
assigned to the VSI.
VLAN access mode—Ethernet frames received from or sent to the local site must contain 802.1Q
•
VLAN tags.
For an Ethernet frame received from the local site, the VTEP removes all its 802.1Q VLAN tags
before forwarding the frame.
For an Ethernet frame destined for the local site, the VTEP adds 802.1Q VLAN tags to the frame
before forwarding the frame.
In VLAN access mode, VXLAN packets sent between VXLAN sites do not contain 802.1Q VLAN
tags. VXLAN can provide Layer 2 connectivity for different 802.1Q VLANs between sites. You can
use different 802.1Q VLANs to provide the same service in different sites.

received from or sent to the local site.
For an Ethernet frame received from the local site, the VTEP forwards the frame with the 802.1Q
VLAN tags intact.
