5.29. VXLAN and RIOT Commands
This section describes the commands you use to configure VXLAN and RIOT settings.
5.29.1. vxlan mode
Use this command to set VXLAN mode on the switch.
VXLAN mode must be enabled prior to performing any VXLAN configuration on the switch.
A VXLAN supports two different modes for flood traffic:
1. Multicast modeA VXLAN uses an IP multicast address as the destination IP address to send broadcast,
multicast, and unknown unicast flood frames.
2. Unicast mode—A VXLAN uses each VTEP’s single unicast IP address as the destination IP address to send
broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast flood frames.
By default, the mode is disabled. VXLAN mode must be disabled prior to performing any VXLAN mode changed.
Format vxlan mode {unicast | multicast}
Default Disabled
Mode VXLAN Config
5.29.2. no vxlan mode
Use this command to return the VXLAN mode to the default settings.
Format no vxlan mode
Mode VXLAN Config
5.29.3. vxlan source-interface
Use this command to configure VXLAN source interface on the switch.
The “vxlan source-interface” command specifies an interface from which the VTEP derives the source address (IP)
that it uses when exchanging VXLAN frames. This address is used by UDP headers to specify source and destination
addresses of hosts that send or receive VXLAN encapsulated packets.
