Configuring a VTEP group
Make sure the member VTEPs use the same VXLAN settings.
Configure a VTEP group on a member VTEP:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Create a VSI interface and enter VSI interface view. | interface vsi-interface vsi-interface-id | By default, no VSI interfaces exist. You must create the same VSI interface on all VTEPs in the VTEP group. |
3. Assign an IP address to the VSI interface. | ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length } | By default, no IP address is assigned to a VSI interface. You must assign the same IP address to the VSI interface on each VTEP in the VTEP group. |
4. Assign a MAC address to the VSI interface. | mac-address mac-address | By default, all VSI interfaces on a device use a fixed MAC address. The MAC addresses of VSI interfaces on different devices are different. You must assign the same MAC address to the VSI interface on each VTEP in the VTEP group. |
5. Return to system view. | quit | N/A |
6. Enter VSI view. | vsi vsi-name | N/A |
7. Specify a gateway interface for the VSI. | gateway vsi-interface vsi-interface-id | By default, no gateway interface is specified for a VSI. |
8. Return to system view. | quit | N/A |
9. Assign the local VTEP to a VTEP group and specify the member IP address for the VTEP. | vtep group group-ip member local member-ip | By default, a VTEP is not assigned to any VTEP group. Perform this task on all member VTEPs in the VTEP group. The IP address specified by the member-ip argument must already exist on the local VTEP. You must configure a routing protocol to advertise the IP address in the transport network. Member VTEPs in a VTEP group cannot use the group IP address or share an IP address. |
10. Specify all the other VTEPs in the VTEP group. | vtep group group-ip member remote member-ip&<1-8> | By default, no VTEP group is specified. Perform this task on all member VTEPs in the VTEP group. |
