As of EOS 4.22.0F, EVPN all active multihoming is supported as a standardized redundancy solution.  Redundancy

In a VXLAN routing setup using VXLAN Controller Service (VCS), this feature will enable the following on a switch that is running as a VCS client.

This is achieved by using the next-hop of the static route as the peer IP address for the BFD session. The static route is either installed or removed based on the status of the underlying BFD session. A static route whose next-hop is configured to be tracked by BFD is referred to as a ‘BFD tracked static route’ in the context of this document. This feature is supported for both IPv4 and IPv6 static routes.

This feature introduces a new CLI command which disables the above-mentioned propagation of DSCP and ECN bits from the outer IP header. 

By default, the DSCP and ECN bits of VXLAN bridged packets are not rewritten. Currently, for bridged packets undergoing VXLAN encapsulation, the DSCP in the outer IP header is derived from TC and the ECN bits are set to zero. The desired behavior is that the outer IP header should be remarked with ingress packet DSCP and ingress packet ECN. Also, local congestion should be handled correctly.

Ethernet VPN (EVPN) networks normally require some measure of redundancy to reduce or eliminate the impact of outages and maintenance. RFC7432 describes four types of route to be exchanged through EVPN, with a built-in multihoming mechanism for redundancy. Prior to EOS 4.22.0F, MLAG was available as a redundancy option for EVPN with VXLAN, but not multihoming. EVPN multihoming is a multi-vendor standards-based redundancy solution that does not require a dedicated peer link and allows for more flexible configurations than MLAG, supporting peering on a per interface level rather than a per device level. It also supports a mass withdrawal mechanism to minimize traffic loss when a link goes down.

This feature enables support for an EVPN VxLAN control plane in conjunction with Arista’s OpenStack ML2 plugin for

Typical Wi Fi networks utilize a single, central Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) to act as a gateway between the

In VXLAN networks, broadcast DHCP requests are head-end-replicated to all VXLAN tunnel endpoints (VTEP). If a DHCP relay helper address is configured on more than one VTEP, each such VTEP relays the DHCP request to the configured DHCP server. This could potentially overwhelm the DHCP server as it would receive multiple copies of broadcast packets originated from a host connected to one of the VTEPs.

4.22.1F introduces support for ip address virtual for PIM and IGMP in MLAG and Vxlan. On a VLAN, the same IP address can

This solution allows delivery of IPv6 multicast traffic in an IP-VRF using an IPv4 multicast in the underlay network. The protocol used to build multicast trees in the underlay network is PIM Sparse Mode.

Several customers have expressed interest in using IPv6 addresses for VXLAN underlay in their Data Centers (DC). Prior to 4.24.1F, EOS only supported IPv4 addresses for VXLAN underlay, i.e., VTEPs were reachable via IPv4 addresses only.

As of EOS 4.22.0F, EVPN all active multihoming is supported as a standardized redundancy solution. For effective

For traffic mirroring, Arista switches support several types of mirroring destinations. This document describes a new type of mirroring destination in which mirrored traffic is tunneled over VXLAN as the inner packet to a remote VTEP. This feature is useful for when the traffic analyzer is a VTEP reachable over a VXLAN tunnel.

This solution optimizes the delivery of multicast to a VLAN over an Ethernet VPN (EVPN) network. Without this solution IPv6 multicast traffic in a VLAN is flooded to all Provider Edge(PE) devices which contain the VLAN.

This feature provides the ability to interconnect EVPN VXLAN domains. Domains may or may not be within the same data

This feature extends the multi-domain EVPN VXLAN feature introduced to support interconnect with EVPN MPLS networks. The following diagram shows a multi-domain deployment with EVPN VXLAN in the data center and EVPN MPLS in the WAN. Note that this is the only supported deployment model, and that an EVPN MPLS network cannot peer with an EVPN MPLS network.

This solution allows delivery of multicast traffic in an IP VRF using multicast in the underlay network. It builds on

Multicast EVPN IRB solution allows for the delivery of customer BUM (Broadcast, Unknown unicast and Multicast) traffic in L3VPNs using multicast in the underlay network. This document contains only partial information that is new or different for the Multicast EVPN Multiple Underlay Groups solution.

By default, when an SVI is configured on a VXLAN VLAN, then broadcast, unknown unicast, and unknown multicast (BUM) traffic received from the tunnel are punted to CPU. However, sending unknown unicast and unknown multicast traffic to CPU is unnecessary and could have negative side effects. Specifically, these packets take the L2Broadcast CoPP queue to the CPU. 

Overlay IPv6 routing over VXLAN Tunnel is simply routing IPv6 packets in and out of VXLAN Tunnels, similar to

Enabling “Proxy ARP/ND for Single Aggregation (AG) VTEP Campus Deployments without EVPN” allows an aggregation VTEP to proxy reply to a VXLAN-encapsulated ARP request/NS when the ARP/NS target host is remote and the ARP/ND binding is already learned by the AG VTEP.

Prior to this feature, we supported a maximum of two levels of Forward Equivalence Class (FEC) hierarchies for vxlan routing tunnels in hardware.

Overlay IPv6 routing over VXLAN tunnel using an anycast gateway (direct routing) has been previously supported using the “ipv6 virtual-router” configuration for both the data-plane and EVPN (or CVX) control-plane learning environments. 

Several customers have expressed interest in using IPv6 addresses for VxLAN underlay in their Data Centers (DC). Prior to 4.27.2F, only IPv4 addresses are supported for VxLAN underlay, i.e VTEPs are reachable via IPv4 addresses only. This feature enables a VTEP to send VxLAN Encapsulated packets using IPv6 underlay.
