EVPN-VXLAN for AI-ML Data Centers

Features and benefits of EVPN-VXLAN in an AI-ML data center:

• Improve scalability: You can enable multitenancy within the same data center using an IP fabric overlay.

• Improve productivity: You can run different AI workloads (multiple large language models (LLMs) for different tenants) in the same data center.

• Improve security: You can isolate L2 at the local top-of-rack (ToR) level with multiple MAC-VRF instances, or L3 at the ToR level with multiple EVPN Type 5 routing instances (IP-VRF-to-IP-VRF model). See the configuration section for examples of these use cases.

• Reduce configuration efforts: You can extend the tenants' logical context between different ToR switches in different points of delivery (PODs) without changing the configuration of the intermediate spine or superspine devices.
