  • 1.  Need assistance for DCI L3 gateway

    Posted 09-04-2021 05:17
    I have two Data Centers running EVPN/vXLAN on spine nodes.  On the PE routers on both Data Centers, I run EVPN-MPLS stitching with Spine nodes. L2 works fine for intra and inter Data Centers. But L3 only  works one direction.  From Data Center A, the devices can reach the devices in Data Center B for inter subnets.  But not the other way.  Within the Data Center,  inter-subnets works fine in both Data Centers.

    Any insights and any suggestions where I should look into ?

    thanks !!

    Do you have the Type-5 route exchanged between DCs, meaning, can you see the Prefix route on each site?

    Sorry, I did not explain it clearly.
    I meant L3 gateways route networks between vxlan networks, not route the networks between the data centers.
    So I do not need type 5.
     I have the following topology

    My issue is
    Any vlan in DC-1 can reach different vlan in DC-2, but not reverse.
    The same vlan is reachable from any direction.
    the different vlan can reach reach other within the DC itself.

    thanks a lot for taking a look !!

    I think it might be related to the vMX image. not behaved consistently. I have the following the configuration to stitch EVPN/vXLAN and EVPN/MPLS.

    Hi ,

    Good day !
    As the same vlan is used , there will be no type 5 routes that are generated but you need to have type 2 routes and a VTEP to the other DCI leaf 

    As you have confirmed that there is reachability between DC1 to DC2 , this confirm type 2 routes are update and there is reverse path.

    If only DC2 to DC1 is affected then there might be a filter or it can be a device issue .

    Note : i checked the configuration it looks good
