How to Configure an IP Clos Fabric for a Campus Network
Requirements
This configuration example uses the following devices:
Two EX9200 or QFX10000 switches as core devices, Software version: Junos OS Release 20.2R3
Two EX4650 or QFX5120 switches as distribution devices, Software version: Junos OS Release 20.2R3
Two EX4300-MP switches as the access layer, Software version: Junos OS Release 20.2R3 or Two EX4400 switches, Software version: Junos OS Release 21.1R1.
One SRX650 security device
One WAN router
Juniper Access Points
Overview
Use this network configuration example to deploy a single campus fabric with a Layer 3 IP-based underlay network that uses EVPN as the control plane protocol and VXLAN as the data plane protocol in the overlay network.
We will first configure EBGP as the underlay routing protocol to exchange loopback routes. Then, we will configure IBGP between the core and distribution devices in the overlay to share reachability information about endpoints in the fabric.
Topology
In this example, we configure each device with a /32 loopback address. Figure 1 shows the physical topology with an SRX series device, WAN router, access layer devices (EX-4300-MP), and it shows the IP addressing scheme that is used in this example. The SRX series router enforces policy rules for transit traffic by controlling traffic flow. It allows traffic that can pass through and denies the traffic that is not permitted based on the security policy that is created.
Configure the Underlay IP Fabric
Overview
This section shows how to configure the IP fabric underlay on the core, distribution, and access layer switches using EBGP and how to configure the policy rules on the SRX server.

Configure the Overlay
Overview
This section shows how to configure the overlay, including configuring IBGP peerings, the VLAN to VXLAN mappings, and the IRB interface configurations for the virtual networks on the access switches.
Topology
In this example, we have three virtual networks: 1, 2, and 3. The IRB interfaces for these virtual networks are on the access switches. We placed all IRB interfaces in the same routing instance. You can place the IRB interfaces in different routing instances for network segmentation if it is needed in your deployment.
Figure 2 shows the overlay virtual network with VLANs.
Overlay and Virtual Network Configuration
Use this section to configure the overlay on the core and distribution layer switches.
Core 1 Configuration
Step-by-Step Procedure
- Set the AS number and configure IBGP neighbors between
core and distribution devices. You do not need to configure IBGP neighbors
between Core 1 and Core 2 because they receive all BGP updates from
Distribution 1 and Distribution 2.
Configure the core devices as route reflectors to eliminate the need for a full IBGP mesh between all distribution layer switches. This makes the configuration on the distribution layer devices simple and consistent.
