EVPN MAC-VRF Site-of-Origin
|
||||||
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
In some EVPN deployments it is useful to associate a logical VTEP's Layer 2
|
||||||
|
domain (MAC-VRF) with a Site-of-Origin "site" identifier. This provides a
|
||||||
|
BGP topology-independent means of marking and import-filtering EVPN routes
|
||||||
|
originated from a particular L2 domain. One situation where this is valuable
|
||||||
|
is when deploying EVPN using anycast VTEPs, i.e. Active/Active MLAG, as it
|
||||||
|
can be used to avoid ownership conflicts between the two control planes
|
||||||
|
(EVPN vs MLAG).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example Use Case (MLAG Anycast VTEPs):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
During normal operation, an MLAG VTEP will advertise EVPN routes for attached
|
||||||
|
hosts using a shared anycast IP as the BGP next-hop. It is expected for its
|
||||||
|
MLAG peer to drop routes originated by the MLAG Peer since they have a Martian
|
||||||
|
(self) next-hop. However, prior to the anycast IP being assigned to the local
|
||||||
|
system, the anycast BGP next-hop will not be considered a Martian (self) IP.
|
||||||
|
This results in a timing window where hosts that are locally attached to the
|
||||||
|
MLAG pair's L2 domain can be learned both as "local" (via MLAG) or "remote"
|
||||||
|
(via an EVPN route with a non-local next-hop). This can trigger erroneous MAC
|
||||||
|
Mobility events, as the host "moves" between one MLAG Peer's Unique VTEP-IP
|
||||||
|
and the shared anycast VTEP-IP, which causes unnecessary control plane and
|
||||||
|
data plane events to propagate throughout the EVPN domain.
|
||||||
|
By associating the MAC-VRF of both MLAG VTEPs with the same site identifier,
|
||||||
|
EVPN routes originated by one MLAG VTEP will ignored by its MLAG peer, ensuring
|
||||||
|
that only the MLAG control plane attempts to take ownership of local hosts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The EVPN MAC-VRF Site-of-Origin feature works by influencing two behaviors:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. All EVPN routes originating from the local MAC-VRF will have a
|
||||||
|
Site-of-Origin extended community added to the route, matching the
|
||||||
|
configured value.
|
||||||
|
2. EVPN routes will be subjected to a "self SoO" check during MAC-VRF
|
||||||
|
or IP-VRF import processing. If the EVPN route is found to carry a
|
||||||
|
Site-of-Origin extended community whose value matches the locally
|
||||||
|
configured MAC-VRF Site-of-Origin, the route will be maintained in
|
||||||
|
the global EVPN RIB ("show bgp l2vpn evpn route") but will not be
|
||||||
|
imported into the corresponding MAC-VRF ("show bgp vni") or IP-VRF
|
||||||
|
("show bgp [vrf <vrfname>] [ipv4 | ipv6 [unicast]]").
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The import filtering described in item (2) is constrained just to Type-2
|
||||||
|
(MAC-IP) and Type-3 (IMET) EVPN routes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The EVPN MAC-VRF Site-of-Origin can be configured using a single CLI command
|
||||||
|
under ``address-family l2vpn evpn`` of the EVPN underlay BGP instance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. clicmd:: [no] mac-vrf soo <site-of-origin-string>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example configuration:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: frr
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
router bgp 100
|
||||||
|
neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 101
|
||||||
|
!
|
||||||
|
address-family ipv4 l2vpn evpn
|
||||||
|
neighbor 192.168.0.1 activate
|
||||||
|
advertise-all-vni
|
||||||
|
mac-vrf soo 100.64.0.0:777
|
||||||
|
exit-address-family
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This configuration ensures:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. EVPN routes originated from a local L2VNI will have a Site-of-Origin
|
||||||
|
extended community with the value ``100.64.0.0:777``
|
||||||
|
2. Received EVPN routes carrying a Site-of-Origin extended community with the
|
||||||
|
value ``100.64.0.0:777`` will not be imported into a local MAC-VRF (L2VNI)
|
||||||
|
or IP-VRF (L3VNI).
