Example VxLAN tunnel configuration for starter kit with compute expansion kit

An example of the VxLAN tunnel configuration is described in this section.

Before configuring the VxLAN tunnel, the Loopback interface and the L3 interface must be configured. The following is the Loopback interface configuration for Starter kit 5950 and Compute kit 5950.

NOTE:

In this example, the starter kit VTEP switch Loopback IP address is 10.10.10.10 and the compute kit switch Loopback IP address is 20.20.20.20.

  1. Starter Kit 5950. 

    int LoopBack 0
ip address 10.10.10.10 255.255.255

  2. Compute Kit 5950. 

    int LoopBack 0
ip address 20.20.20.20 255.255.255
    NOTE:

    The L3 interface configuration and the routing protocol configuration must be performed by the HPE onsite engineer with the help of the customer. These configurations are not with in the scope of this example.

    VxLAN tunnel 1 must configured between the Starter Kit and the Compute Kit VTEP. This activity must be performed after the Compute Kit 5950 switch is configured for the Loopback and L3 interfaces. Also, ensure that connectivity exists between the Compute Kit 5950 switch and Starter Kit 5950 switch.

  3. Tunnel configuration on starter kit switch: 

    int Tunnel 1 mode vxlan
source 10.10.10.10
destination 20.20.20.20

  4. Tunnel configuration on compute kit switch: 

    int Tunnel 1 mode vxlan
source 20.20.20.20
destination 10.10.10.10

    After the tunnel is configured, bind Tunnel 1 to the VSI interface.
