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.

Configuration procedure

To enable VXLAN over VXLAN:

Step	Command	Remarks
1. Enter system view.	system-view	N/A
2. Enter interface view.	Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface view.interface interface-type interface-number Enter Layer 2 aggregate interface view.interface bridge-aggregation interface-number	N/A
3. Enable VXLAN over VXLAN.	vxlan-over-vxlan enable	By default, VXLAN over VXLAN is disabled on an interface.
