Assigning a network ID to the EVI tunnel
Assign the same network ID to the EVI tunnels of all edge devices in an EVI network.
On an edge device, the network ID assigned to an EVI tunnel must be unique.
To assign a network ID to an EVI tunnel:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enter tunnel interface view.
interface tunnel
number
[
mode evi
]
N/A
3.
Specify a network ID.
evi network-id number
By default, no network ID is specified.
Specifying extended VLANs on the EVI tunnel
When configuring extended VLANs, follow these guidelines:
•
You can specify an extended VLAN on only one EVI tunnel.
•
To avoid loops, do not assign transport-facing ports to extended VLANs.
•
To avoid data breach, make sure all edge devices in an EVI network maintain the same list of
extended VLANs.
To assign extended VLANs to an EVI tunnel:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enter EVI tunnel interface
view.
interface tunnel
number
[
mode evi
]
N/A
3.
Specify extended VLANs.
evi extend-vlan vlan-list
By default, no VLANs are specified as
extended VLANs on any EVI tunnel.
To specify more extended VLANs,
repeat this step.
Configuring ENDP
ENDP enables the edge devices in an EVI network to discovery each other.
Configure an edge device as an ENDS to provide registration services or as an ENDC to register
with an ENDS.
Configuration guidelines
•
For redundancy, you can configure up to two ENDSs on an EVI tunnel interface. These two
ENDSs work independently. The failure of one ENDS does not affect the neighbor discovery
and EVI link maintenance in the EVI network.
•
When you enable ENDS on an EVI tunnel interface, an ENDC is automatically enabled. This
ENDC uses the source address of the EVI tunnel as the ENDS address. As a result, you can
use the
evi neighbor-discovery client enable
command to add only one ENDS address on an
ENDS-enabled EVI tunnel interface.
•
To guarantee that each edge device can obtain the addresses of all its EVI neighbors, make
sure the ENDSs are the same across the EVI network.
