Syntax

Syntax for mac-vrf routing

Description

Show Ethernet VPN (EVPN) routing instance information.

When up MEP is configured for an EVPN instance (EVI), the show evpn instance displays a default interface without any configuration with a naming convention as .local..number (for example, .local..8).

Options

none

Display brief information about the EVPN routing instance.

extensive

DF Election preference

Preference value used for the designated forwarder (DF) election:

  • Highest preference—Default DF election preference.
