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:

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.
