evpn
Enables the EVPN control plane for VXLAN.
Syntax
evpn
Parameters None
Default Not configured
Command mode CONFIGURATION
Usage
information
Enabling EVPN triggers BGP to advertise EVPN capability with AFI=25 and SAFI=70 to all BGP peers in
an autonomous system. The no version of this command disables EVPN on the switch.
Example
OS10(config)# evpn
OS10(config-evpn)#
Supported
releases
10.4.2.0 or later
rd
Configures the Route Distinguisher (RD) value that EVPN routes use.
Syntax
rd {A.B.C.D:[1-65535] | auto}
Parameters
A.B.C.D:
[1-65535]
Manually configure the RD with a 4-octet IPv4 address, then a 2-octet-number
from 1 to 65535.
auto
Configure the RD to automatically generate.
Default Not configured
Command mode EVPN-EVI and EVPN-VRF
Usage
information
A RD maintains the uniqueness of an EVPN route between different EVPN instances. Configure a route
distinguisher in a tenant VRF used for EVPN symmetric IRB traffic. The RD auto-configures as Type 1
from the overlay network source IP address and the auto-generated EVPN instance ID.
The rd auto command is not supported in EVPN-VRF mode. When you create a VRF in EVPN mode,
the RD is automatically generated. The rd A.B.C.D:[1-65535] command is supported in EVPN-VRF
mode in 10.5.1 and later releases.
Example
OS10(config)# evpn
