Figure 160. Controller-based VXLAN for VLT Providing Redundancy
Important Points to Remember
The VLT peer port channel number must be the same on both VLT peers.
before configuring controller-based VXLAN with VLT, remove any existing standalone VXLAN configuration.
BFD tunnels come up only after the NSX controller sends tunnel details. The details come after the remote MAC addresses
are downloaded from NSX controller.
Configure NSX Controller-based VxLAN in VLT Setup
You can configure NSX controller-based VxLAN in a VLT setup. To configure NSX controller-based VxLAN in a VLT setup,
perform the following tasks:
1. (Optional) Configure BFD and UFD. For more details on how to configure BFD and UFD for NSX controller-based VxLAN in
VLT a setup, Configuring BFD and UFD section.
2. Configure VxLAN on VLT peer devices. For more details on how to configure VxLAN for VLT, see the Configuring NSX-
based VxLAN on VLT Peer Devices section.
3. Configure VLT on VLT peer devices for VxLAN. For more details on how to configure VLT for VxLAN, see the Configuring
VLT for NSX-based VxLAN section.
4. Configure the NSX controller. For more details on configuring the NSX controller, see the Configuring and Controlling
VXLAN from the NSX Controller GUI section.
Configuring BFD and UFD for VXLAN
For controller-based VXLAN, you can optionally configure BFD and UFD for more resiliency. To configure BFD and UFD, follow
these steps:
1. Enable BFD globally.
