create vxlan-gbp tunnel

Summary/usage

create vxlan-gbp tunnel src <local-vtep-addr> {dst <remote-vtep-addr>|group <mcast-vtep-addr> <intf-name>} vni <nn> [instance <id>] [encap-vrf-id <nn>] [decap-next [l2|node <name>]] [del].

Description

Add or delete a VXLAN Tunnel.

VXLAN provides the features needed to allow L2 bridge domains (BDs) to span multiple servers. This is done by building an L2 overlay on top of an L3 network underlay using VXLAN tunnels.

This makes it possible for servers to be co-located in the same data center or be separated geographically as long as they are reachable through the underlay L3 network.

You can refer to this kind of L2 overlay bridge domain as a VXLAN (Virtual eXtensible VLAN) segment.

Example usage

Example of how to create a VXLAN Tunnel: vpp# create vxlan_gbp tunnel src 10.0.3.1 dst 10.0.3.3 vni 13 encap-vrf-id 7 Example of how to create a VXLAN Tunnel with a known name, vxlan_gbp_tunnel42: vpp# create vxlan_gbp tunnel src 10.0.3.1 dst 10.0.3.3 instance 42 Example of how to create a multicast VXLAN Tunnel with a known name, vxlan_gbp_tunnel23: vpp# create vxlan_gbp tunnel src 10.0.3.1 group 239.1.1.1 GigabitEthernet0/8/0 instance 23 Example of how to delete a VXLAN Tunnel: vpp# create vxlan_gbp tunnel src 10.0.3.1 dst 10.0.3.3 vni 13 del

set interface ip vxlan-gbp-bypass

Summary/usage

set interface ip vxlan-gbp-bypass <interface> [del].

Description

This command adds the 'ip4-vxlan-gbp-bypass' graph node for a given interface. By adding the IPv4 vxlan_gbp-bypass graph node to an interface, the node checks for and validate input vxlan_gbp packet and bypass ip4-lookup, ip4-local, ip4-udp-lookup nodes to speedup vxlan_gbp packet forwarding. This node will cause extra overhead to for non-vxlan_gbp packets which is kept at a minimum.

Example usage

Example of graph node before ip4-vxlan_gbp-bypass is enabled:

vpp# show vlib graph ip4-vxlan_gbp-bypass

           Name                      Next                    Previous
ip4-vxlan-gbp-bypass              error-drop [0]
                               vxlan4-gbp-input [1]
                                  ip4-lookup [2]

Example of how to enable ip4-vxlan-gbp-bypass on an interface:

vpp# set interface ip vxlan-gbp-bypass GigabitEthernet2/0/0

Example of graph node after ip4-vxlan-gbp-bypass is enabled:

vpp# show vlib graph ip4-vxlan-gbp-bypass

           Name                      Next                    Previous
ip4-vxlan-gbp-bypass              error-drop [0]               ip4-input
                               vxlan4-gbp-input [1]        ip4-input-no-checksum
                                  ip4-lookup [2]

Example of how to display the feature enabled on an interface:

vpp# show ip interface features GigabitEthernet2/0/0

IP feature paths configured on GigabitEthernet2/0/0...
...
ipv4 unicast:
  ip4-vxlan-gbp-bypass
  ip4-lookup

Example of how to disable ip4-vxlan-gbp-bypass on an interface:

vpp# set interface ip vxlan-gbp-bypass GigabitEthernet2/0/0 del

set interface ip6 vxlan-gbp-bypass

Summary/usage

set interface ip vxlan-gbp-bypass <interface> [del].

Description

This command adds the 'ip6-vxlan-gbp-bypass' graph node for a given interface. By adding the IPv6 vxlan-gbp-bypass graph node to an interface, the node checks for and validate input vxlan_gbp packet and bypass ip6-lookup, ip6-local, ip6-udp-lookup nodes to speedup vxlan_gbp packet forwarding.
