2 Congure NSX controller reachability.
3 Assign local access interfaces to be managed by the controller. The VLAN IDs of member access interfaces created using the OS10
CLI must be dierent from the VLAN IDs of port-scoped VLANs created by the NSX controller for virtual networks.
4 (Optional) Enable BFD in the NSX and the VTEP. OS10 complies with RFC5880 for Bidirectional Forwarding Detection.
Conguration notes
• NSX controller-provisioned VXLAN is not supported if an OS10 switch operates in OpenFlow-only mode.
• Only one mode of VxLAN provisioning is supported at a time: NSX controller-based, static VXLAN, or BGP EVPN.
• An OS10 switch does not send VXLAN access port statistics to the NSX controller.
• Controller-provisioned VXLAN is not supported on VTEPs congured as peers in a VLT domain. Only VTEPs in standalone mode are
supported.
Specify the controller reachability information
In OS10 VTEP, the controller conguration command initializes a connection to an OVSDB-based controller.
OS10 supports only one controller connection at a time.
NOTE: Currently, the only supported OVSDB-based controller is NSX.
To congure an OVSDB controller on the OS10 VTEP:
1 Enable VXLAN in CONFIGURATION mode.
OS10(config)# nve
2 Changes the mode to CONFIGURATION-NVE-OVSDB from where you can congure the controller parameters.
OS10(config-nve)# controller ovsdb
3 Specify the IP address, OVSDB controller port, and SSL as a secure connection protocol between the OS10 VTEP and the controller in
CONFIGURATION-NVE-OVSDB mode.
OS10(config-nve-ovsdb)# ip ip-address port port-number ssl
The range of port-numberis from 0 to 65535. Congure the port-number as 6640 and the connection type as SSL.
4 (Optional) Specify a time interval, in milliseconds (ms). This is the duration the switch waits between the connection attempts to the
controller.
OS10(config-nve-ovsdb)# max-backoff interval
The range is from 1000 to 180,000 ms. The default is 8000 ms.
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# nve
OS10(config-nve)# controller ovsdb
OS10(config-nve-ovsdb)# ip 10.11.66.110 port 6640 ssl
Assign interfaces to be managed by the controller
In a VTEP, explicitly assign interfaces for an OVSDB controller to manage.
Before you assign the interface, consider the following:
• The interface must be in Switchport Trunk mode.
• The interface must not be a member of any VLAN
• The interface must not be a member of a port-channel
When the above conditions are not met when assigning the interfaces to be managed by the controller, the system returns error messages.
