EVPN

  • Assisted replication (AR) integrated with optimized intersubnet multicast (OISM) in an EVPN-VXLAN edge-routed bridging (ERB) fabric (QFX5130-32CD and QFX5700)—Starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 22.2R1, you can configure AR and OISM together in an EVPN-VXLAN ERB overlay fabric. These devices can serve as AR replicator devices or AR leaf devices.

    Here is a summary of integrated AR and OISM support:

    • AR replicator devices are lean spine devices in the fabric. The AR replicator function can’t be collocated with the OISM border leaf or server leaf role on the same device.

    • AR leaf devices can be OISM server leaf or border leaf devices.

    • AR replicator devices must be running Junos OS Evolved software that supports OISM (even though the AR replicator devices don't operate in either an OISM server leaf or OISM border leaf role).

    When you configure AR devices:

    • You configure the EVPN instances using MAC-VRF instances with vlan-based or vlan-aware service types only.

    • You must configure the AR replicator devices with the same tenant VRF instances, corresponding IRB interfaces, and member VLANs as the OISM devices.

  • Blocking asymmetric EVPN Type 5 routes (QFX5130-32CD and QFX5700)—Starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 22.2R1, you can configure the local node to reject asymmetric EVPN Type 5 routes on EVPN-VXLAN networks. The local node examines the incoming EVPN Type 5 route packets and rejects the route when the virtual network identifier (VNI) in the ingress route differs from the locally configured VNI.

    To block asymmetric EVPN Type 5 routes, include the reject-asymmetric-vni statement at the [edit routing-instance routing-instance-name protocols evpn ip-prefix-routes] hierarchy level.

  • Interconnect EVPN-VXLAN in a data center to an EVPN-VXLAN control plane in a WAN using a gateway model (QFX5130-32CD and QFX5700)—Starting in Junos OS Evolved 22.2R1, we support Data Center Interconnect (DCI) stitching for EVPN-VXLAN gateway tunnels. The gateway connects the data center and the WAN, and both data center and WAN gain forwarding states for route distinguishing, route targeting, and interconnect Ethernet segment identifier (I-ESI) support.

    DCI control plane stitching also:

    • Supports multihoming.

    • Extends the Layer 2 (L2) connectivity required for some tenants in a data center.

    • Uses the unknown MAC route to prevent MAC scale issues on data center network virtualization edge (NVE) devices.

    [See Understanding the MAC Addresses For a Default Virtual Gateway in an EVPN-VXLAN or EVPN-MPLS Overlay Network.]

  • Symmetric IRB with EVPN Type 2 routes (ACX7100, PTX10001-36MR, PTX10004, PTX10008, PTX10016, QFX5130-32CD, and QFX5700)—Starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 22.2R1, you can enable symmetric IRB EVPN Type 2 routing in an Ethernet VPN–Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN) edge-routed bridging (ERB) overlay fabric. With the symmetric routing model, leaf devices can route and bridge traffic on both ingress and egress sides of a VXLAN tunnel. Leaf devices use a transit VXLAN network identifier (VNI) and Layer 3 (L3) interfaces on the associated VLAN to exchange traffic across the VXLAN tunnels.

    We support this feature with vlan-aware and vlan-based MAC-VRF instance service type configurations. To enable this feature, you must also configure EVPN Type 5 routing with L3 VRF instances to establish intersubnet reachability among the EVPN devices.
