anycast-multihoming

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure EVPN-VXLAN anycast multihoming for an ESI-LAG pair. This statement configures a shared anycast VTEP address on both multihoming peers, causing them to advertise EVPN routes with one logical next-hop. Remote devices use underlay ECMP to distribute traffic across paths to the shared anycast VTEP address.

Configure an IPv4 address under inet or an IPv6 address under inet6. Configure the same address on both peers. If the anycast address is configured on a nondefault loopback interface unit, configure that unit with the loopback-interface statement and as the VTEP source interface in each applicable EVPN routing instance.

For symmetric IRB deployments, configure router-mac with the shared anycast router MAC address.

To interoperate with remote devices that use MLAG, configure mlag-interop-mode.

CAUTION:
Changes to the anycast-multihoming configuration causes a catastrophic event for the routing instance. Please perform these configuration changes during a maintenance window to avoid network disruptions.

Options

inet

Configure the IPv4 anycast VTEP address.

inet6

Configure the IPv6 anycast VTEP address.

address address

Specify the shared anycast IPv4 or IPv6 VTEP address. Configure the same address on each peer in the multihoming pair.

loopback-interface loopback-interface

Specify the loopback interface unit that contains the anycast address when the address is not configured on the default loopback interface unit.

  • Default: lo0.0

mlag-interop-mode

Enable interoperability between local EVPN anycast multihoming peers and remote devices that operate in MLAG mode.

router-mac router-mac

Specify the shared anycast router MAC address for symmetric IRB deployments.
