  • 1.  QFX10002 VXLAN ":vxlan.inet.0" and a labeled next-hop.

    Posted 02-07-2021 07:06
    Hey all,

    I'm working on creating some configurations for using a QFX10002 as leaf within an existing QFX5100 EVPN/VXLAN topology. In my current topology we do not use a classical leaf-spine layout but a more randomly connected mesh using MPLS for path optimization.

    Everything seems to be working fine on EVPN/VXLAN level, putting all the existing QFX5k configuration within a "virtual-switch" routing instance on the QFX10k. I'm experienced 1 big problem:
    -OSPF/LDP/RSVP as "underlay"
    - iBGP as "overlay" (not only evpn but also inet-vpn, inet6-vpn, ..), RR's in the core, route-reflectors clients at the edge (the qfx10k in this case is rr-client)
    - traffic engineering (mpls)  is configured as bgp

    After a clean reboot of the qfx10k layer2 communication between ports on qfx5k (192.0.2.2) and qfx10k (192.0.2.11) are working fine. I'm seeing the next-hop in the ":vxlan.inet.0" as unicast:

    root@ed1.lab# run show route forwarding-table matching 192.0.2.2 
    Routing table: default.inet
    Internet:
    Destination        Type RtRef Next hop           Type Index    NhRef Netif
    192.0.2.2/32   user     1 192.0.2.206    ucst     1741    58 ae2.0
    
    Routing table: __master.anon__.inet
    Internet:
    
    Routing table: __pfe_private__.inet
    Internet:
    
    Routing table: :vxlan.inet
    Internet:
    Destination        Type RtRef Next hop           Type Index    NhRef Netif
    192.0.2.2/32   user     0                    indr  2097181     3
                                  192.0.2.206    ucst     1741    58 ae2.0​



    When I make any change on one of the ports on the qfx10k (or creating flap of ldp) we do see the next-hop moving to a labeled switched path. This makes more sense as the vtep's are learned via bgp and should be resolved out of "inet.3":

    root@ed1.lab# run show route forwarding-table matching 192.0.2.2 
    Routing table: default.inet
    Internet:
    Destination        Type RtRef Next hop           Type Index    NhRef Netif
    192.0.2.2/32   user     1 192.0.2.206    ucst     1741    54 ae2.0
    
    Routing table: __master.anon__.inet
    Internet:
    
    Routing table: :vxlan.inet
    Internet:
    Destination        Type RtRef Next hop           Type Index    NhRef Netif
    192.0.2.2/32   user     0                    indr  2097198     3
                                  192.0.2.206   Push 30     1777     4 ae2.0
    ​


    At this point traffic flows are broken:
    - Ports on the qfx10k are still able to talk to eachother
    - Traffic from the qfx5k ports still arrives on qfx10k but the response from those systems behind the qfx10k does never reaches the qfx5k ports and is dropped somewhere.


    Questions:
    - After the reboot shouldn't we automatically move to the broken situation? It looks like for some reason the ldp route is not superseding the old unicast route that came up first. After the first change it behaves like expected and we can flip/flop the situation by disabling/enabling LDP.
    - Is this broken situation a limitation of the q5 chips to not be able to put a vxlan and mpls label at the same time? Did I overlook it in the list of vxlan en mpls limitations?

    Just als fyi, you can limit the entries in ":vxlan.inet.0" to resolve only to inet.0 entries as workaround: 
    set routing-options resolution rib :vxlan.inet.0 resolution-ribs inet.0​
