Security Policies for VXLAN

Configure Security Policies for VXLAN

Use this example to configure security policies for EVPN (Ethernet VPN) Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) tunnel inspection.

Requirements

VXLAN support on SRX Series Firewalls provides the flexibility to bring an enterprise grade firewall to connect end points in their campus, data center, branch and public cloud environments while providing embedded security.

This example uses the following hardware and software components:

  • SRX4600 device

  • Junos OS Release 20.4R1

Before you begin:

  • Make sure you understand how EVPN and VXLAN works.

Overview

The EVPN solution provides large enterprises a common framework used to manage their campus and data center networks. An EVPN-VxLAN architecture supports efficient Layer 2 and Layer 3 network connectivity with scale, simplicity, and agility. Figure 1 shows an simplified VXLAN traffic flow topology.
