BGP’sone of the key loop prevention mechanism is to match the AS number in theAS pathof the received BGP update. If the BGP AS-path attribute has the AS number of the receiving router in then that BGP route is not installed in theBGP routing table. ...
Okay, so BGP is like maps that detail all the fastest ways from you to a website? Right! Unfortunately, it can get even more complicated because the shortest doesn’t always equal best. There are plenty of reasons why a routing algorithm would choose one path over another —co...
the VTEPs stamp the layer-2 VNI in the VXLAN header when the communication is between servers that are below different ToRs. The forwarding lookup is based on (L2-VNI, DMAC). For communications between servers that are part of the same tenant ...

The protocol has to be set tobgp. The other protocol option islayer2mode (as explained in a previous section) which relies on the ARP protocol for IPv4 and NDP protocol for IPv6 to advertise the addresses. $ cat << _EOF_ | oc apply -f - ...
Where, the four numbered steps in the graph are: Client packets -> physical network (spine) Spine -> L4LB node, via ECMP In-kernel routing (glue layer) L4LB -> Backend pods, with Cilium load balancing Details explained below. Let’s see how it meets the 4 requirements listed in Sect...
BGP’s one of the key loop prevention mechanism is to match the AS number in the AS path of the received BGP update. If the BGP AS-path attribute has the AS number of the receiving router in then that BGP route is not installed in the BGP routing table. This BGP feature though usefu...
Note: In the Cisco IOS and Cisco NX-OS software implementation, all the PE routers must have the same RD within the same VPLS domain. The virtual expansion (VE) ID, VE Block Offset, VE Block Size, and the Label Base (LB) relate to the advertised block of labels, as explained in the...
Perform VRF and flowspec policy mapping for distribution of flowspec rules using the procedure explained in Link Flowspec to PBR Policies Link Flowspec to PBR Policies For BGP flowspec, a PBR policy is applied on a per VRF basis, and this pol...
When a server in the VXLAN BGP EVPN fabric sends multicast traffic to the attached ToR/leaf switch, the leaf switch forwards the multicast traffic within the fabric, as explained in the Cisco Programmable Fabric with VXLAN BGP EVPN Con...
