Enabling flood proxy on multicast VXLAN tunnels
![[IMPORTANT: ]](images/important.png) | IMPORTANT: Flood proxy is supported on multicast VXLAN tunnels only when the OVSDB controller is a NSX controller from VMware. | |
If you use a flood proxy server, you must enable flood proxy globally on multicast tunnels. Then the multicast tunnels are converted into flood proxy tunnels. The VTEP sends broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast traffic for a VXLAN to the flood proxy server through the tunnels. The flood proxy server then replicates and forwards flood traffic to remote VTEPs.
