Ethernet Virtual Private Network - EVPN

VXLAN is the de facto technology for implementing network virtualization in the data center, enabling layer 2 segments to be extended over an IP core (the underlay). The initial definition of VXLAN (RFC 7348) did not include any control plane and relied on a flood-and-learn approach for MAC address learning. An alternate deployment model was to use a controller or a technology such as Lightweight Network Virtualization (LNV) in Cumulus Linux.

You cannot use EVPN and LNV at the same time.

Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) is a standards-based control plane for VXLAN defined in RFC 7432 and draft-ietf-bess-evpn-overlay that allows for building and deploying VXLANs at scale. It relies on multi-protocol BGP (MP-BGP) for exchanging information and is based on BGP-MPLS IP VPNs (RFC 4364). It has provisions to enable not only bridging between end systems in the same layer 2 segment but also routing between different segments (subnets). There is also inherent support for multi-tenancy. EVPN is often referred to as the means of implementing controller-less VXLAN.

Cumulus Linux fully supports EVPN as the control plane for VXLAN, including for both intra-subnet bridging and inter-subnet routing. Key features include:

  • VNI membership exchange between VTEPs using EVPN type-3 (Inclusive multicast Ethernet tag) routes.

  • Exchange of host MAC and IP addresses using EVPN type-2 (MAC/IP advertisement) routes.

  • Support for host/VM mobility (MAC and IP moves) through exchange of the MAC Mobility Extended community.

  • Support for dual-attached hosts via VXLAN active-active mode. MAC synchronization between the peer switches is done using MLAG.

  • Support for ARP/ND suppression, which provides VTEPs with the ability to suppress ARP flooding over VXLAN tunnels.

  • Support for exchange of static (sticky) MAC addresses through EVPN.

  • Support for distributed symmetric routing between different subnets.

  • Support for distributed asymmetric routing between different subnets.

  • Support for centralized routing.

  • Support for prefix-based routing using EVPN type-5 routes (EVPN IP prefix route)

  • Support for layer 3 multi-tenancy.

  • Support for IPv6 tenant routing.

  • Symmetric routing, asymmetric routing and prefix-based routing are supported for both IPv4 and IPv6 hosts and prefixes.

EVPN address-family is supported with both eBGP and iBGP peering. If the underlay routing is provisioned using eBGP, the same eBGP session can also be used to carry EVPN routes. For example, in a typical 2-tier Clos network topology where the leaf switches are the VTEPs, if eBGP sessions are in use between the leaf and spine switches for the underlay routing, the same sessions can be used to exchange EVPN routes; the spine switches merely act as “route forwarders” and do not install any forwarding state as they are not VTEPs. When EVPN routes are exchanged over iBGP peering, OSPF can be used as the IGP or the next hops can also be resolved using iBGP.

You can provision and manage EVPN using NCLU.

For Cumulus Linux 3.4 and later releases, the routing control plane (including EVPN) is installed as part of the FRRouting (FRR) package. For more information about FRR, refer to the FRR Overview.

For information about VXLAN routing, including platform and hardware limitations, see VXLAN Routing.

Basic EVPN Configuration

The following steps represent the fundamental configuration to use EVPN as the control plane for VXLAN. These steps are in addition to configuring VXLAN interfaces, attaching them to a bridge, and mapping VLANs to VNIs.

  1. Enable EVPN route exchange (that is, address-family layer 2 VPN/EVPN) between BGP peers.

  2. Enable EVPN on the system to advertise VNIs and host reachability information (MAC addresses learned on associated VLANs) to BGP peers.

  3. Disable MAC learning on VXLAN interfaces as EVPN is responsible for installing remote MACs.

Additional configuration is necessary to enable ARP/ND suppression, provision inter-subnet routing, and so on. The configuration depends on the deployment scenario. You can also configure various other BGP parameters.

Enabling EVPN between BGP Neighbors

You enable EVPN between BGP neighbors by adding the address family evpn to the existing neighbor address-family activation command.

For a non-VTEP device that is merely participating in EVPN route exchange, such as a spine switch (the network deployment uses hop-by-hop eBGP or the switch is acting as an iBGP route reflector), activating the interface for the EVPN address family is the fundamental configuration needed in FRRouting. Additional configuration options for specific scenarios are described later on in this chapter.

The other BGP neighbor address-family-specific configurations supported for EVPN are allowas-in and route-reflector-client.

To configure an EVPN route exchange with a BGP peer, you must activate the peer or peer-group within the EVPN address-family:

cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp autonomous-system 65000
cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp neighbor swp1 remote-as external
cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp l2vpn evpn neighbor swp1 activate
cumulus@switch:~$ net pending
cumulus@switch:~$ net commit

Adjust the remote-as above to be appropriate for your environment.

The command syntax bgp evpn is also permitted for backwards compatibility with prior versions of Cumulus Linux, but the syntax bgp l2vpn evpn is recommended to standardize the BGP address-family configuration to the AFI/SAFI format.

The above commands create the following configuration snippet in the /etc/frr/frr.conf file.

router bgp 65000
 neighbor swp1 interface remote-as external
 address-family l2vpn evpn
  neighbor swp1 activate

The above configuration does not result in BGP knowing about the local VNIs defined on the system and advertising them to peers. This requires additional configuration, as described below.

Advertising All VNIs

A single configuration variable enables the BGP control plane for all VNIs configured on the switch. Set the variable advertise-all-vni to provision all locally configured VNIs to be advertised by the BGP control plane. FRR is not aware of any local VNIs and MACs and hosts (neighbors) associated with those VNIs until advertise-all-vni is configured.

To build upon the previous example, run the following commands to advertise all VNIs:

cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp autonomous-system 65000
cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp neighbor swp1 remote-as external
cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp l2vpn evpn neighbor swp1 activate 
cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp l2vpn evpn advertise-all-vni
cumulus@switch:~$ net pending
cumulus@switch:~$ net commit

Adjust the remote-as above to be appropriate for your environment.

The above commands create the following configuration snippet in the /etc/frr/frr.conf file.

router bgp 65000
 neighbor swp1 interface remote-as external
 address-family l2vpn evpn
  neighbor swp1 activate
  advertise-all-vni

This configuration is only needed on leaf switches that are VTEPs. EVPN routes received from a BGP peer are accepted, even without this explicit EVPN configuration. These routes are maintained in the global EVPN routing table. However, they only become effective (that is, imported into the per-VNI routing table and appropriate entries installed in the kernel) when the VNI corresponding to the received route is locally known.

Auto-derivation of RDs and RTs

When a local VNI is learned by FRR and there is no explicit configuration for that VNI in FRR, the route distinguisher (RD) and import and export route targets (RTs) for this VNI are automatically derived - the RD uses “RouterId:VNI-Index " and the import and export RTs use “AS:VNI “. The RD and RTs are used in the EVPN route exchange. The RD disambiguates EVPN routes in different VNIs (as they may have the same MAC and/or IP address) while the RTs describe the VPN membership for the route. The “VNI-Index” used for the RD is a unique, internally generated number for a VNI. It solely has local significance; on remote switches, its only role is for route disambiguation. This number is used instead of the VNI value itself because this number has to be less than or equal to 65535. In the RT, the AS part is always encoded as a 2-byte value to allow room for a large VNI. If the router has a 4-byte AS, only the lower 2 bytes are used. This ensures a unique RT for different VNIs while having the same RT for the same VNI across routers in the same AS.

For eBGP EVPN peering, the peers are in a different AS so using an automatic RT of “AS:VNI” does not work for route import. Therefore, the import RT is treated as “*:VNI” to determine which received routes are applicable to a particular VNI. This only applies when the import RT is auto-derived and not configured.

User-defined RDs and RTs

EVPN also supports manual configuration of RDs and RTs, if you don’t want them derived automatically. To manually define RDs and RTs, use the vni option within NCLU to configure the switch:

cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp l2vpn evpn vni 10200 rd 172.16.100.1:20
cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp l2vpn evpn vni 10200 route-target import 65100:20
cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp l2vpn evpn advertise-all-vni
cumulus@switch:~$ net pending
cumulus@switch:~$ net commit

These commands create the following configuration snippet in the /etc/frr/frr.conf file.

 address-family l2vpn evpn
  advertise-all-vni
  vni 10200
   rd 172.16.100.1:20
   route-target import 65100:20

These commands are per VNI and must be specified under address-family l2vpn evpn in BGP.

If you delete the RD or RT later, it reverts back to its corresponding default value.

You can configure multiple RT values for import or export for a VNI. In addition, you can configure both the import and export route targets with a single command by using route-target both:

cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp evpn vni 10400 route-target import 100:400
cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp evpn vni 10400 route-target import 100:500
cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp evpn vni 10500 route-target both 65000:500
cumulus@switch:~$ net pending
cumulus@switch:~$ net commit

The above commands create the following configuration snippet in the /etc/frr/frr.conf file:

address-family l2vpn evpn
  vni 10400
    route-target import 100:400
    route-target import 100:500
  vni 10500
    route-target import 65000:500
    route-target export 65000:500

Enabling EVPN in an iBGP Environment with an OSPF Underlay

EVPN can be deployed with an OSPF or static route underlay if needed. This is a more complex configuration than using eBGP. In this case, iBGP advertises EVPN routes directly between VTEPs, and the spines are unaware of EVPN or BGP.

The leaf switches peer with each other in a full mesh within the EVPN address family without using route reflectors. The leafs generally peer to their loopback addresses, which are advertised in OSPF. The receiving VTEP imports routes into a specific VNI with a matching route target community.

cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp autonomous-system 65020
cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp evpn neighbor 10.1.1.2 remote-as internal
cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp evpn neighbor 10.1.1.3 remote-as internal

Disabling Data Plane MAC Learning over VXLAN Tunnels

When EVPN is provisioned, you must disable data plane MAC learning for VXLAN interfaces because the purpose of EVPN is to exchange MACs between VTEPs in the control plane. In the /etc/network/interfaces file, configure the bridge-learning value to off:

cumulus@switch:~$ net add vxlan vni200 vxlan id 10200
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vxlan vni200 vxlan local-tunnelip 10.0.0.1
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vxlan vni200 bridge access 200
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vxlan vni200 bridge learning off
cumulus@switch:~$ net pending
cumulus@switch:~$ net commit

These commands create the following code snippet in the /etc/network/interfaces file:

auto vni200
iface vni200
    bridge-access 200
    bridge-learning off
    vxlan-id 10200
    vxlan-local-tunnelip 10.0.0.1

For a bridge in traditional mode, you must edit the bridge configuration in the /etc/network/interfaces file using a text editor:

auto bridge1
iface bridge1
    bridge-ports swp3.100 swp4.100 vni100
    bridge-learning vni100=off

Handling BUM Traffic

With EVPN, the only method of handling BUM traffic is Head End Replication (HER). HER is enabled by default, as it is when Lightweight Network Virtualization (LNV) is used.

ARP and ND Suppression

ARP suppression in an EVPN context refers to the ability of a VTEP to suppress ARP flooding over VXLAN tunnels as much as possible. Instead, a local proxy handles ARP requests received from locally attached hosts for remote hosts. ARP suppression is the implementation for IPv4; ND suppression is the implementation for IPv6.

On switches with the Mellanox Spectrum chipset, ND suppression only functions with the Spectrum A1 chip.

ARP and ND suppression are not enabled by default. You configure ARP/ND suppression on a VXLAN interface. You also need to create an SVI for the neighbor entry.

When ARP and ND suppression are enabled, you need to configure layer 3 interfaces even if the switch is configured only for layer 2 (that is, you are not using VXLAN routing). To avoid unnecessary layer 3 information from being installed, Cumulus Networks recommends you configure the ip forward off or ip6 forward off options as appropriate on the VLANs. See the example configuration below.

To configure ARP or ND suppression, use NCLU. Here is an example configuration using two VXLANs (10100 and 10200) and two VLANs (100 and 200).

cumulus@switch:~$ net add bridge bridge ports vni100,vni200
cumulus@switch:~$ net add bridge bridge vids 100,200
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vxlan vni100 vxlan id 10100
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vxlan vni200 vxlan id 10200
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vxlan vni100 bridge learning off
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vxlan vni200 bridge learning off
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vxlan vni100 bridge access 100
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vxlan vni100 bridge arp-nd-suppress on
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vxlan vni200 bridge arp-nd-suppress on
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vxlan vni200 bridge access 200
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vxlan vni100 vxlan local-tunnelip 10.0.0.1
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vxlan vni200 vxlan local-tunnelip 10.0.0.1
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vlan 100 ip forward off
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vlan 100 ipv6 forward off
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vlan 200 ip forward off
cumulus@switch:~$ net add vlan 200 ipv6 forward off
cumulus@switch:~$ net pending
cumulus@switch:~$ net commit

These commands create the following configuration in the /etc/network/interfaces file:

auto bridge
iface bridge
    bridge-ports vni100 vni200
    bridge-stp on
    bridge-vids 100 200
    bridge-vlan-aware yes

     bridge-arp-nd-suppress on
     vxlan-id 10200
     vxlan-local-tunnelip 10.0.0.1

For a bridge in traditional mode, you must edit the bridge configuration in the /etc/network/interfaces file using a text editor:

auto bridge1
iface bridge1
    bridge-ports swp3.100 swp4.100 vni100
    bridge-learning vni100=off
    bridge-arp-nd-suppress vni100=on
    ip6-forward off
    ip-forward off

Using UFT Profiles Other than the Default

When deploying EVPN and VXLAN using a hardware profile other than the default UFT profile, ensure that the Linux kernel ARP sysctl settings gc_thresh2 and gc_thresh3 are both set to a value larger than the number of neighbor (ARP/ND) entries anticipated in the deployment.

To configure these settings, edit the /etc/sysctl.d/neigh.conf file. If your network has more hosts than the values used in the example below, change the sysctl entries accordingly.

cumulus@switch:~$ sudo nano /etc/sysctl.d/neigh.conf
...
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3=14336
net.ipv6.neigh.default.gc_thresh3=16384
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh2=7168
net.ipv6.neigh.default.gc_thresh2=8192
...

After you save your settings, reboot the switch to apply the new configuration.

EVPN and VXLAN Active-active Mode

No additional EVPN-specific configuration is needed for VXLAN active-active mode. Both switches in the MLAG pair establish EVPN peering with other EVPN speakers (for example, with spine switches, if using hop-by-hop eBGP) and inform about their locally known VNIs and MACs. When MLAG is active, both switches announce this information with the shared anycast IP address.

The active-active configuration, make sure that:

  • The clagd-vxlan-anycast-ip parameter is under the loopback stanza on both peers.
  • The anycast address is advertised to the routed fabric from both peers.
  • The VNIs are configured identically on both peers. However, vxlan-local-tunnelip must be sourced from unique loopback stanza IP address of the switch.
  • The peerlink must belong to the bridge.

MLAG synchronizes information between the two switches in the MLAG pair; EVPN does not synchronize.

Active-active VTEP Anycast IP Behavior

You must provision each individual switch within an MLAG pair with a virtual IP address in the form of an anycast IP address for VXLAN data-path termination. The VXLAN termination address is an anycast IP address that you configure as a clagd parameter (clagd-vxlan-anycast-ip) under the loopback interface. clagd dynamically adds and removes this address as the loopback interface address as follows:

  1. When the switches boot up, ifupdown2 places all VXLAN interfaces in a PROTO_DOWN state. The configured anycast addresses are not yet configured.
  2. MLAG peering takes place and a successful VXLAN interface consistency check between the switches occurs.
  3. clagd (the daemon responsible for MLAG) adds the anycast address to the loopback interface. It then changes the local IP address of the VXLAN interface from a unique address to the anycast virtual IP address and puts the interface in an UP state. |

Failure Scenario Behaviors

ScenarioBehavior
The peer link goes down.The primary MLAG switch continues to keep all VXLAN interfaces up with the anycast IP address while the secondary switch brings down all VXLAN interfaces and places them in a PROTO_DOWN state. The secondary MLAG switch removes the anycast IP address from the loopback interface and changes the local IP address of the VXLAN interface to the configured unique IP address.
One of the switches goes down.The other operational switch continues to use the anycast IP address.
clagd is stopped.All VXLAN interfaces are put in a PROTO_DOWN state. The anycast IP address is removed from the loopback interface and the local IP addresses of the VXLAN interfaces are changed from the anycast IP address to unique non-virtual IP addresses.
MLAG peering could not be established between the switches.clagd brings up all the VXLAN interfaces after the reload timer expires with the configured anycast IP address. This allows the VXLAN interface to be up and running on both switches even though peering is not established.
When the peer link goes down but the peer switch is up (i.e. the backup link is active).All VXLAN interfaces are put into a PROTO_DOWN state on the secondary switch.
A configuration mismatch between the MLAG switchesThe VXLAN interface is placed into a PROTO_DOWN state on the secondary switch.

Inter-subnet Routing

There are multiple models in EVPN for routing between different subnets (VLANs), also known as inter-VLAN routing. These models arise due to the following considerations:

  • Does every VTEP act as a layer 3 gateway and do routing, or only specific VTEPs do routing?
  • Is routing done only at the ingress of the VXLAN tunnel or is it done at both the ingress and the egress of the VXLAN tunnel?

These models are:

  • Centralized routing: Specific VTEPs act as designated layer 3 gateways and perform routing between subnets; other VTEPs just perform bridging.
  • Distributed asymmetric routing: Every VTEP participates in routing, but all routing is done at the ingress VTEP; the egress VTEP only performs bridging.
  • Distributed symmetric routing: Every VTEP participates in routing and routing is done at both the ingress VTEP and the egress VTEP.

Distributed routing - asymmetric or symmetric - is commonly deployed with the VTEPs configured with an anycast IP/MAC address for each subnet. That is, each VTEP that has a particular subnet is configured with the same IP/MAC for that subnet. Such a model facilitates easy host/VM mobility as there is no need to change the host/VM configuration when it moves from one VTEP to another.

EVPN in Cumulus Linux supports all of the routing models listed above. The models are described further in the following sections.

All routing happens in the context of a tenant VRF (virtual routing and forwarding). A VRF instance is provisioned for each tenant, and the subnets of the tenant are associated with that VRF (the corresponding SVI is attached to the VRF). Inter-subnet routing for each tenant occurs within the context of that tenant’s VRF and is separate from the routing for other tenants.

When configuring VXLAN routing, Cumulus Networks recommends enabling ARP suppression on all VXLAN interfaces. Otherwise, when a locally attached host ARPs for the gateway, it will receive multiple responses, one from each anycast gateway.

Centralized Routing

In centralized routing, a specific VTEP is configured to act as the default gateway for all the hosts in a particular subnet throughout the EVPN fabric. It is common to provision a pair of VTEPs in active-active mode as the default gateway, using an anycast IP/MAC address for each subnet. All subnets need to be configured on such gateway VTEP(s). When a host in one subnet wants to communicate with a host in another subnet, it addresses the packets to the gateway VTEP. The ingress VTEP (to which the source host is attached) bridges the packets to the gateway VTEP over the corresponding VXLAN tunnel. The gateway VTEP performs the routing to the destination host and post-routing, the packet gets bridged to the egress VTEP (to which the destination host is attached). The egress VTEP then bridges the packet on to the destination host.

Advertising the Default Gateway

To enable centralized routing, you must configure the gateway VTEPs to advertise their IP/MAC address. Use the advertise-default-gw command, as shown below.

cumulus@leaf01:~$ net add bgp autonomous-system 65000
cumulus@leaf01:~$ net add bgp l2vpn evpn advertise-default-gw
cumulus@leaf01:~$ net pending
cumulus@leaf01:~$ net commit

These commands create the following configuration snippet in the /etc/frr/frr.conf file.

router bgp 65000
  address-family l2vpn evpn
   advertise-default-gw
  exit-address-family

  • You can deploy centralized routing at the VNI level. Therefore, you can configure the advertise-default-gw command per VNI so that centralized routing is used for some VNIs while distributed routing (described below) is used for other VNIs. This type of configuration is not recommended unless the deployment requires it.

  • When centralized routing is in use, even if the source host and destination host are attached to the same VTEP, the packets travel to the gateway VTEP to get routed and then come back.

Asymmetric Routing

In distributed asymmetric routing, each VTEP acts as a layer 3 gateway, performing routing for its attached hosts. The routing is called asymmetric because only the ingress VTEP performs routing, the egress VTEP only performs the bridging. Asymmetric routing is easy to deploy as it can be achieved with only host routing and does not involve any interconnecting VNIs. However, each VTEP must be provisioned with all VLANs/VNIs - the subnets between which communication can take place; this is required even if there are no locally-attached hosts for a particular VLAN.

The only additional configuration required to implement asymmetric routing beyond the standard configuration for a layer 2 VTEP described earlier is to ensure that each VTEP has all VLANs (and corresponding VNIs) provisioned on it and the SVI for each such VLAN is configured with an anycast IP/MAC address.

Symmetric Routing

In distributed symmetric routing, each VTEP acts as a layer 3 gateway, performing routing for its attached hosts. This is the same as in asymmetric routing. The difference is that with symmetric routing, both the ingress VTEP and egress VTEP route the packets. Therefore, it can be compared to the traditional routing behavior of routing to a next hop router. In the VXLAN encapsulated packet, the inner destination MAC address is set to the router MAC address of the egress VTEP as an indication that the egress VTEP is the next hop and also needs to perform routing. All routing happens in the context of a tenant (VRF). For a packet received by the ingress VTEP from a locally attached host, the SVI interface corresponding to the VLAN determines the VRF. For a packet received by the egress VTEP over the VXLAN tunnel, the VNI in the packet has to specify the VRF. For symmetric routing, this is a VNI corresponding to the tenant and is different from either the source VNI or the destination VNI. This VNI is referred to as the layer 3 VNI or interconnecting VNI; it has to be provisioned by the operator and is exchanged through the EVPN control plane. In order to make the distinction clear, the regular VNI, which is used to map a VLAN, is referred to as the layer 2 VNI.

L3-VNI

  • There is a one-to-one mapping between a layer 3 VNI and a tenant (VRF).
  • The VRF to layer 3 VNI mapping has to be consistent across all VTEPs. The layer 3 VNI has to be provisioned by the operator.
  • Layer 3 VNI and layer 2 VNI cannot share the same number space.

For EVPN symmetric routing, the additional configuration required is as follows:

  1. Configure a per-tenant VXLAN interface that specifies the layer 3 VNI for the tenant. This VXLAN interface is part of the bridge and router MAC addresses of remote VTEPs is installed over this interface.

  2. Configure an SVI (layer 3 interface) corresponding to the per-tenant VXLAN interface. This is attached to the tenant’s VRF. Remote host routes for symmetric routing are installed over this SVI.

  3. Specify the mapping of VRF to layer 3 VNI. This configuration is for the BGP control plane.

SVI for the Layer 3 VNI

cumulus@leaf01:~$ net add vlan 4001 vrf turtle
cumulus@leaf01:~$ net pending
cumulus@leaf01:~$ net commit

These commands create the following snippet in the /etc/network/interfaces file:

auto vlan4001
iface vlan4001
    vlan-id 4001
    vlan-raw-device bridge
    vrf turtle

When two VTEPs are operating in VXLAN active-active mode and performing symmetric routing, you need to configure the router MAC corresponding to each layer 3 VNI to ensure both VTEPs use the same MAC address. Specify the hwaddress (MAC address) for the SVI corresponding to the layer 3 VNI. Use the same address on both switches in the MLAG pair. Cumulus Networks recommends you use the MLAG system MAC address.

cumulus@leaf01:~$ net add vlan 4001 hwaddress 44:39:39:FF:40:94

This command creates the following snippet in the /etc/network/interfaces file:

auto vlan4001
iface vlan4001
    hwaddress 44:39:39:FF:40:94
    vlan-id 4001

Advertising the Locally-attached Subnets

Symmetric routing presents a problem in the presence of silent hosts. If the ingress VTEP does not have the destination subnet and the host route is not advertised for the destination host, the ingress VTEP cannot route the packet to its destination. This problem can be overcome by having VTEPs announce the subnet prefixes corresponding to their connected subnets in addition to announcing host routes. These routes will be announced as EVPN prefix (type-5) routes.

To advertise locally attached subnets, you must:

  1. Enable advertisement of EVPN prefix (type-5) routes. Refer to Prefix-based Routing - EVPN Type-5 Routes, below.

  2. Ensure that the routes corresponding to the connected subnets are known in the BGP VRF routing table by injecting them using the network command or redistributing them using the redistribute connected command.

This configuration is recommended only if the deployment is known to have silent hosts. It is also recommended that you enable on only one VTEP per subnet, or two for redundancy.

An earlier version of this chapter referred to the advertise-subnet command. That command is deprecated and should not be used.

Prefix-based Routing - EVPN Type-5 Routes

EVPN in Cumulus Linux supports prefix-based routing using EVPN type-5 (prefix) routes. Type-5 routes (or prefix routes) are primarily used to route to destinations outside of the data center fabric.

EVPN prefix routes carry the layer 3 VNI and router MAC address and follow the symmetric routing model for routing to the destination prefix.

When connecting to a WAN edge router to reach destinations outside the data center, it is highly recommended that specific border/exit leaf switches be deployed to originate the type-5 routes.

On switches with the Mellanox Spectrum chipset, centralized routing, symmetric routing and prefix-based routing only function with the Spectrum A1 chip.

If you are using a Broadcom Trident II+ switch as a border/exit leaf, read release note 766 for a necessary workaround; the workaround only applies to Trident II+ switches, not Tomahawk or Spectrum.

Configuring the Switch to Install EVPN Type-5 Routes

For a switch to be able to install EVPN type-5 routes into the routing table, it must be configured with the layer 3 VNI related information. This configuration is the same as for symmetric routing. You need to:

  1. Configure a per-tenant VXLAN interface that specifies the layer 3 VNI for the tenant. This VXLAN interface is part of the bridge; router MAC addresses of remote VTEPs are installed over this interface.

  2. Configure an SVI (layer 3 interface) corresponding to the per-tenant VXLAN interface. This is attached to the tenant’s VRF. The remote prefix routes are installed over this SVI.

  3. Specify the mapping of the VRF to layer 3 VNI. This configuration is for the BGP control plane.

Announcing EVPN Type-5 Routes

The following configuration is needed in the tenant VRF to announce IP prefixes in BGP’s RIB as EVPN type-5 routes.

cumulus@bl1:~$ net add bgp vrf vrf1 l2vpn evpn advertise ipv4 unicast
cumulus@bl1:~$ net pending
cumulus@bl1:~$ net commit

These commands create the following snippet in the /etc/frr/frr.conf file:

router bgp 65005 vrf vrf1
  address-family l2vpn evpn
    advertise ipv4 unicast
  exit-address-family
end

EVPN Type-5 Routing with Asymmetric Routing

Asymmetric routing is an ideal choice when all VLANs (subnets) are configured on all leaf switches. It simplifies the routing configuration and eliminates the potential need for advertising subnet routes to handle silent hosts. However, most deployments need access to external networks to reach the Internet or global destinations, or to do subnet-based routing between pods or data centers; this requires EVPN type-5 routes.

Cumulus Linux supports EVPN type-5 routes for prefix-based routing in asymmetric configurations within the pod or data center by providing an option to use the layer 3 VNI only for type-5 routes; type-2 routes (host routes) only use the layer 2 VNI.

The following example commands show how to use the layer 3 VNI for type-5 routes only:

cumulus@leaf01:~$ net add vrf turtle vni 104001 prefix-routes-only
cumulus@leaf01:~$ net pending
cumulus@leaf01:~$ net commit

These commands create the following snippet in the /etc/frr/frr.conf file:

vrf turtle
  vni 104001 prefix-routes-only

Controlling Which RIB Routes Are Injected into EVPN

By default, when announcing IP prefixes in the BGP RIB as EVPN type-5 routes, all routes in the BGP RIB are picked for advertisement as EVPN type-5 routes. You can use a route map to allow selective advertisement of routes from the BGP RIB as EVPN type-5 routes.

The following command adds a route map filter to IPv4 EVPN type-5 route advertisement:

cumulus@switch:~$ net add bgp vrf turtle l2vpn evpn advertise ipv4 unicast route-map map1
cumulus@switch:~$ net pending
cumulus@switch:~$ net commit

Originating Default EVPN Type-5 Routes

Cumulus Linux supports originating EVPN default type-5 routes. The default type-5 route is originated from a border (exit) leaf and advertised to all the other leafs within the pod. Any leaf within the pod follows the default route towards the border leaf for all external traffic (towards the Internet or a different pod).

To originate a default type-5 route in EVPN, you need to execute FRRouting commands. The following shows an example:

switch(config)# router bgp 650030 vrf vrf1
switch(config-router)# address-family l2vpn evpn
switch(config-router-af)# default-originate ipv4
switch(config-router-af)# default-originate ipv6
switch(config-router-af)# exit
switch(config-router)# exit
switch(config)# exit
switch# write memory

EVPN Enhancements

Static (Sticky) MAC Addresses

MAC addresses that are intended to be pinned to a particular VTEP can be provisioned on the VTEP as a static bridge FDB entry. EVPN picks up these MAC addresses and advertises them to peers as remote static MACs. You configure static bridge FDB entries for sticky MACs under the bridge configuration using NCLU:

cumulus@switch:~$ net add bridge post-up bridge fdb add 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev swp1 vlan 101 master static
cumulus@switch:~$ net pending
cumulus@switch:~$ net commit

These commands create the following configuration in the /etc/network/interfaces file:

auto bridge
iface bridge
    bridge-ports swp1 vni10101
    bridge-vids 101
    bridge-vlan-aware yes
    post-up bridge fdb add 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev swp1 vlan 101 master static

For a bridge in traditional mode, you must edit the bridge configuration in the /etc/network/interfaces file using a text editor:

auto br101
iface br101
    bridge-ports swp1.101 vni10101
    bridge-learning vni10101=off
    post-up bridge fdb add 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev swp1.101 master static

Filtering EVPN Routes Based on Type

In many situations, it is desirable to only exchange EVPN routes of a particular type. For example, a common deployment scenario for large data centers is to sub-divide the data center into multiple pods with full host mobility within a pod but only do prefix-based routing across pods. This can be achieved by only exchanging EVPN type-5 routes across pods.

To filter EVPN routes based on the route-type and allow only certain types of EVPN routes to be advertised in the fabric, use these commands:

net add routing route-map <route_map_name> (deny|permit) <1-65535> match evpn default-route
net add routing route-map <route_map_name> (deny|permit) <1-65535> match evpn route-type (macip|prefix|multicast)

The following example command configures EVPN to advertise type-5 routes only:

cumulus@switch:~$ net add routing route-map map1 permit 1 match evpn route-type prefix
cumulus@switch:~$ net pending
cumulus@switch:~$ net commit

EVPN Operational Commands

You can use various iproute2 commands to examine links, VLAN mappings and the bridge MAC forwarding database known to the Linux kernel. You can also use these commands to examine the neighbor cache and the routing table (for the underlay or for a specific tenant VRF). Some of the key commands are:

  • ip [-d] link show

  • bridge link show

  • bridge vlan show

  • bridge [-s] fdb show

  • ip neighbor show

  • ip route show [table <vrf-name>]

A sample output of ip -d link show type vxlan is shown below for one VXLAN interface. Some relevant parameters are the VNI value, the state, the local IP address for the VXLAN tunnel, the UDP port number (4789) and the bridge that the interface is part of (bridge in the example below). The output also shows that MAC learning is disabled (off) on the VXLAN interface.

cumulus@leaf01:~$ ip -d link show type vxlan

A sample output of bridge fdb show is depicted below. Some interesting information from this output includes:

  • swp3 and swp4 are access ports with VLAN ID 100. This is mapped to VXLAN interface vni100.

  • 00:02:00:00:00:01 is a local host MAC learned on swp3.

  • The remote VTEPs which participate in VLAN ID 100 are 10.0.0.3, 10.0.0.4 and 10.0.0.2. This is evident from the FDB entries with a MAC address of 00:00:00:00:00:00. These entries are used for BUM traffic replication.

  • 00:02:00:00:00:06 is a remote host MAC reachable over the VXLAN tunnel to 10.0.0.2.

cumulus@leaf01:~$ bridge fdb show

...

A sample output of ip neigh show is shown below. Some interesting information from this output includes:

  • 172.16.120.11 is a locally-attached host on VLAN 100. It is shown twice because of the configuration of the anycast IP/MAC on the switch.

  • 172.16.120.42 is a remote host on VLAN 100 and 172.16.130.23 is a remote host on VLAN 200. The MAC address of these hosts can be examined using the bridge fdb show command described earlier to determine the VTEPs behind which these hosts are located.

cumulus@leaf01:~$ ip neigh show
172.16.120.11 dev vlan100-v0 lladdr 00:02:00:00:00:01 STALE

Displaying VNIs in EVPN

Run the show bgp l2vpn evpn vni command to display the configured VNIs on a network device participating in BGP EVPN. This command is only relevant on a VTEP. If symmetric routing is configured, this command displays the special layer 3 VNIs that are configured per tenant VRF.

The following example from a leaf switch shows two layer 2 VNIs - 10100 and 10200 - as well as a layer 3 VNI - 104001. For layer 2 VNIs, the number of associated MAC and neighbor entries are shown. The VXLAN interface and VRF corresponding to each VNI are also shown.

cumulus@leaf01:~$ net show evpn vni

00:01:00:00:13:00 10.0.0.3            
cumulus@leaf01:~$

Run the net show evpn rmac vni all command to examine router MACs for all layer 3 VNIs.

Examining Gateway Next Hops in EVPN

When symmetric routing is deployed, you can run the net show evpn next-hops vni <vni> command to examine the gateway next hops. This command is only relevant for a layer 3 VNI. In general, the gateway next hop IP addresses correspond to the remote VTEP IP addresses. Remote host and prefix routes are installed using these next hops:

cumulus@leaf01:~$ net show evpn next-hops vni 104001
Number of NH Neighbors known for this VNI: 3
IP              RMAC

10.0.0.2       00:01:00:00:12:00
cumulus@leaf01:~$

Run the net show evpn next-hops vni all command to examine gateway next hops for all layer 3 VNIs.

You can query a specific next hop; the output displays the remote host and prefix routes through this next hop:

cumulus@leaf01:~$ net show evpn next-hops vni 104001 ip 10.0.0.4
Ip: 10.0.0.4
  RMAC: 00:01:00:00:14:00

cumulus@leaf01:~$

Displaying the VRF Routing Table in FRR

Run the net show route vrf <vrf-name> comand to examine the VRF routing table. This command is not specific to EVPN. In the context of EVPN, this command is relevant when symmetric routing is deployed and can be used to verify that remote host and prefix routes are installed in the VRF routing table and point to the appropriate gateway next hop.

cumulus@leaf01:~$ net show route vrf vrf1
show ip route vrf vrf1 
=======================
Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP,
       O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, P - PIM, E - EIGRP, N - NHRP,
       T - Table, v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel,
       > - selected route, * - FIB route
 
VRF vrf1:

B>* 172.16.120.41/32 [20/0] via 10.0.0.4, vlan4001 onlink, 1d02h41m
...

In the output above, the next hops for these routes are specified by EVPN to be onlink, or reachable over the specified SVI. This is necessary because this interface is not required to have an IP address. Even if the interface is configured with an IP address, the next hop is not on the same subnet as it is usually the IP address of the remote VTEP (part of the underlay IP network).

Displaying the Global BGP EVPN Routing Table

Run the net show bgp l2vpn evpn route command to display all EVPN routes, both local and remote. The routes displayed here are based on RD as they are across VNIs and VRFs:

You can filter the routing table based on EVPN route type. The available options are shown below:

cumulus@leaf01:~$ net show bgp l2vpn evpn route type 
    macip      :  MAC-IP (Type-2) route
    multicast  :  Multicast
    prefix     :  An IPv4 or IPv6 prefix
cumulus@leaf01:~$

Displaying a Specific EVPN Route

To drill down on a specific route for more information, run the net show bgp l2vpn evpn route rd <rd-value> command. This command displays all EVPN routes with that RD and with the path attribute details for each path. Additional filtering is possible based on route type or by specifying the MAC and/or IP address. The following example shows a specific MAC/IP route. The output shows that this remote host is behind VTEP 10.0.0.4 and is reachable through two paths; one through either spine switch. This example is from a symmetric routing deployment, so the route shows both the layer 2 VNI (10200) and the layer 3 VNI (104001) as well as the EVPN route target attributes corresponding to each and the associated router MAC address.

cumulus@leaf01:~$ net show bgp l2vpn evpn route rd 10.0.0.4:3 mac 00:02:00:00:00:10 ip 172.16.130.44

  • Only global VNIs are supported. Even though VNI values are exchanged in the type-2 and type-5 routes, the received values are not used when installing the routes into the forwarding plane; the local configuration is used. You must ensure that the VLAN to VNI mappings and the layer 3 VNI assignment for a tenant VRF are uniform throughout the network.

  • If the remote host is dual attached, the next hop for the EVPN route is the anycast IP address of the remote MLAG pair, when MLAG is active.

The following example shows a prefix (type-5) route. Such a route has only the layer 3 VNI and the route target corresponding to this VNI. This route is learned through two paths, one through each spine switch.

Displaying the per-VNI EVPN Routing Table

Received EVPN routes are maintained in the global EVPN routing table (described above), even if there are no appropriate local VNIs to import them into. For example, a spine switch maintains the global EVPN routing table even though there are no VNIs present on it. When local VNIs are present, received EVPN routes are imported into the per-VNI routing tables based on the route target attributes. You can examine the per-VNI routing table with the net show bgp l2vpn evpn route vni <vni> command:

cumulus@leaf01:~$ net show bgp l2vpn evpn route vni 10110

Displaying the per-VRF BGP Routing Table

When symmetric routing is deployed, received type-2 and type-5 routes are imported into the VRF routing table (against the corresponding address-family: IPv4 unicast or IPv6 unicast) based on a match on the route target attributes. You can examine BGP’s VRF routing table using the net show bgp vrf <vrf-name> ipv4 unicast command or the net show bgp vrf <vrf-name> ipv6 unicast command.

Examining MAC Moves

The first time a MAC moves from behind one VTEP to behind another, BGP associates a MAC Mobility (MM) extended community attribute of sequence number 1, with the type-2 route for that MAC. From there, each time this MAC moves to a new VTEP, the MM sequence number increments by 1. You can examine the MM sequence number associated with a MAC’s type-2 route with the net show bgp l2vpn evpn route vni <vni> mac <mac> command. The sample output below shows the type-2 route for a MAC that has moved three times:

Troubleshooting EVPN

To troubleshoot EVPN, enable FRR debug logs. The relevant debug options are as follows:

  • debug zebra vxlan traces VNI addition and deletion (local and remote) as well as MAC and neighbor addition and deletion (local and remote).

  • debug zebra kernel traces actual netlink messages exchanged with the kernel, which includes everything, not just EVPN.

  • debug bgp updates traces BGP update exchanges, including all updates. Output is extended to show EVPN specific information.

  • debug bgp zebra traces interactions between BGP and zebra for EVPN (and other) routes.

Caveats

The following caveats apply to EVPN in this version of Cumulus Linux:

  • When EVPN is enabled on a switch (VTEP), all locally defined VNIs on that switch and other information (such as MAC addresses) pertaining to them are advertised to EVPN peers. There is no provision to only announce certain VNIs.

  • In a VXLAN active-active configuration, ARPs are sometimes not suppressed even if ARP suppression is enabled. This is because the neighbor entries are not synchronized between the two switches operating in active-active mode by a control plane. This has no impact on forwarding.

  • Currently, only switches with the Mellanox Spectrum chipset or the Broadcom Tomahawk chipset can be deployed as a border/exit leaf. If you want to use a Broadcom Trident II+ switch as a border/exit leaf, read release note 766 for a necessary workaround; the workaround only applies to Trident II+ switches, not Tomahawk or Spectrum.

  • You must configure the overlay (tenants) in a specific VRF(s) and separate from the underlay, which resides in the default VRF. A layer 3 VNI mapping for the default VRF is not supported.

  • EVPN is not supported when Redistribute Neighbor is also configured. Enabling both features simultaneously causes instability in IPv4 and IPv6 neighbor entries.

Example Configurations

  • Basic Clos (4x2) for bridging
  • Clos with MLAG and centralized routing
  • Clos with MLAG and asymmetric routing
  • Basic Clos with symmetric routing and exit leafs

Basic Clos (4x2) for Bridging

The following example configuration shows a basic Clos topology for bridging.
