Recommendations
The following simple guidelines will help you to successfully implement a campus fabric EVPN Multihoming design into your network.
- Review the JVD extension for WAN router integration to make the best choice.
- Review the JVD extension for DHCP relay integration to make the best choice.
- All fabric networks should be configured in the following way
to avoid inconsistency:
- First, create them as part of your switch template for a site.
- Then, import the created networks as part of the campus fabric dialogue and assign to VRFs.
- Even if the system allows you a local network creation on a switch, do not use this option.
- Do not manually configure VRFs locally on any switch. The
fabric usually does this automatically on an as-needed basis.
- The current exception to this rule is for a Layer 2 WAN router integration through transport VLAN. Review the JVD extension for WAN router integration and follow the example in the appendix.
