Configuring VXLAN over VXLAN
For VXLAN packets received from a non-transport-facing interface on the device to traverse the VXLAN network through VXLAN tunnels, perform the following tasks on the interface:
Enable VXLAN over VXLAN.
Configure Ethernet service instance and VSI settings for matching the VXLAN packets.
When receiving VXLAN packets on the interface, the device adds a second layer of VXLAN encapsulation to the packets and forwards them over VXLAN tunnels.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
An interface enabled with VXLAN over VXLAN does not de-encapsulate incoming VXLAN packets. Do not enable this feature on a transport-facing interface.
