Note: When using EVPN features and if you have a large number of hosts, make
sure to adjust the size of the arp neighbor cache to avoid neighbor table
overflow and/or excessive garbage collection. On Linux, the size of the table
and garbage collection frequency can be controlled via the following
sysctl configurations:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Typically, the SVI IP address is reused on VTEPs across multiple racks. However,
if you have unique SVI IP addresses want those to be reachable you can enable the
advertise-svi-ip option. This option advertises the SVI IP/MAC address as a type-2
route and eliminates the need for any flooding over VXLAN to reach the IP from a
remote VTEP.
.. clicmd:: advertise-svi
Note that you should not enable both the advertise-svi-ip and the advertise-default-gw
at the same time.
