Configuration restrictions and guidelines

As a best practice, perform this task before you configure Ethernet service instances.

To avoid packet processing errors, make sure the configuration of a feature on a VSI is the same on all VTEPs of the VXLAN associated with the VSI. For example, the status of IGMP snooping should be consistent on all VTEPs of a VXLAN.

If you use both the restrain and bandwidth commands on a VSI, the bandwidth command limits only the bandwidth of the traffic not restrained by the restrain command.

If you use both the restrain and selective-flooding mac-address commands on a VSI, the restrain command limits only the bandwidth of the traffic not enabled with selective flood.

As a best practice, do not execute both the bandwidth and selective-flooding mac-address commands on a VSI. Traffic cannot be forwarded correctly if you use these commands together.
