Validation Framework
Test Bed
The test bed environment consists of a 3-stage EVPN/VXLAN fabric managed by Juniper Apstra, with four ESI server leaf switches configured as two redundant pairs, one single (non-redundant) server leaf (non-ESI), and two redundant border leaf switches connected to two spines. An external router is also connected to the border leaf switches. A traffic generator is connected to the test ports on the external router and the ESXi servers.
To ensure all the platforms specified in the Supported Devices and Positioning Table 1 are validated, two data center topologies connected using DCI were used. Since there were multiple devices for each role, the devices were swapped, and the tests were repeated with each combination. For instance, border leaf switches were swapped with QFX5130-32CD, PTX10001-36MR, ACX7100-32CD, and so on.
