EVPN

  • Support for GRE over EVPN-VXLAN tunnels (PTX10001-36MR, PTX10004, PTX10008, and PTX10016)—You can handle GRE as a payload over EVPN-VXLAN Type 2 tunnels on the listed PTX Series routers that use the BT forwarding ASIC. This feature enables you to manage and encapsulate GRE payloads within EVPN-VXLAN tunnels. You can configure this functionality using the tunnel-loopback option for IRB interfaces. This implementation supports IPv4 underlay only and is beneficial for scenarios requiring enhanced traffic management and billing accuracy in network architectures.

  • Support for excluding MAC addresses from duplicate MAC detection (ACX7100-32C, PTX10004, PTX10008, PTX10016, QFX5130-32CD, QFX5130-48C, QFX5130-48CM, and QFX5700)—You can configure an exclusion list for MAC addresses in EVPN networks to prevent legitimate MAC address movements from being marked as duplicates. Use set protocols evpn mac-list list_name mac-address mac_address_with_prefix_len to create the list and set protocols evpn duplicate-mac-detection exclude-list list_name to apply it. This feature helps maintain network stability by avoiding unnecessary duplicate MAC detection for specified addresses, particularly in scenarios involving virtual MAC configurations in redundant setups.
