Assigning a VXLAN-DCI tunnel to a VXLAN
To provide connectivity for a VXLAN between two EDs, you must assign the VXLAN-DCI tunnel between the EDs to the VXLAN.
You can assign multiple VXLAN-DCI tunnels to a VXLAN, and configure a VXLAN-DCI tunnel to trunk multiple VXLANs. EDs use the VXLAN ID in VXLAN packets to identify the VXLAN. For a unicast-mode VXLAN, the system floods unknown unicast, multicast, and broadcast traffic to each VXLAN-DCI tunnel associated with the VXLAN.
To assign a VXLAN-DCI tunnel to a VXLAN:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter VSI view. | vsi vsi-name | N/A |
3. Enter VXLAN view. | vxlan vxlan-id | N/A |
4. Assign a VXLAN-DCI tunnel to the VXLAN. | tunnel tunnel-number | By default, a VXLAN does not contain any VXLAN-DCI tunnels. For full connectivity in the VXLAN, make sure the VXLAN contains the VXLAN-DCI tunnel between each pair of EDs in the VXLAN. |
