VXLAN

nv set nve vxlan

Configures VXLAN settings on the switch.

nv set nve vxlan ageing

Configures the VXLAN aging timer. You can set a value between 0 and 4096.

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set nve vxlan ageing 4096

nv set nve vxlan arp-nd-suppress

Turns VXLAN ARP and ND suppression on or off. The default setting is on.

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.0.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set nve vxlan arp-nd-suppress off

nv set nve vxlan decapsulation

Configures VXLAN decapsulation.

nv set nve vxlan decapsulation dscp action

Configures the VXLAN decapsulation DSCP or COS action. You can specify one of the following options:

• copy (if the inner packet is IP).
• preserve (the inner DSCP does not change).
• derive (from the switch priority).

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set nve vxlan decapsulation dscp action derive

nv set nve vxlan enable

Turns VXLAN on or off globally.

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.0.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set nve vxlan enable on

nv set nve vxlan encapsulation

Configures VXLAN encapsulation.

nv set nve vxlan encapsulation dscp action

Configures the VXLAN outer DSCP action during encapsulation. You can specify one of the following options:

• copy (if the inner packet is IP)
• set (to a specific value)
• derive (from the switch priority).

The default setting is derive.

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.0.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set nve vxlan encapsulation dscp action derive

nv set nve vxlan encapsulation dscp value

Configures the DSCP value to put in outer VXLAN packets.

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.0.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set nve vxlan encapsulation dscp 16

nv set nve vxlan flooding

Configures VXLAN flooding (how to handle BUM traffic).

nv set nve vxlan flooding enable

Turns VXLAN flooding on or off.

Enabling VXLAN flooding requires head-end replication. Make sure to set head-end replication on with the nv set nve vxlan flooding head-end-replication evpn command when you enable VXLAN flooding.

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.0.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set nve vxlan flooding enable on

nv set nve vxlan flooding head-end-replication <hrep-id>

Configures VXLAN head end replication, where the switch replicates BUM traffic and sends individual copies to remote destinations.

Command Syntax

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.0.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set nve vxlan flooding head-end-replication 10.10.10.2

nv set nve vxlan flooding multicast-group <ipv4-multicast>

Configures the multicast group for VXLAN flooding. BUM traffic goes to the specified multicast group, where receivers with an interest in that group receive the traffic. This usually requires that you use PIM-SM in the network.

One multicast group per layer 2 VNI is optimal configuration for underlay bandwidth utilization. However, you can specify the same multicast group for more than one layer 2 VNI.

Command Syntax

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.0.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set nve vxlan flooding multicast-group 224.0.0.10

nv set nve vxlan mac-learning

Turns VXLAN MAC learning on or off.

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.0.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set nve vxlan mac-learning on

nv set nve vxlan mlag shared-address <shared-address>

Configures the anycast IP address for VXLAN active-active.

Command Syntax

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.0.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set nve vxlan mlag shared-address 10.0.1.12

nv set nve vxlan mtu

Configures the MTU for VXLAN interfaces.

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.0.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set nve vxlan mtu 1500

nv set nve vxlan port

Configures the UDP port that Cumulus Linux uses for VXLAN encapsulation. The default port is 4789.

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.0.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set nve vxlan port 1024

nv set nve vxlan source address <source-address>

Configures the local tunnel IP address for VXLAN tunnels.

Command Syntax

Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.0.0

Example

cumulus@switch:~$ nv set nve vxlan source address 10.10.10.1
