Dear all.

I'm making a topo test DCI using vMX (using 23.2R1-S2.5 version). As configure evpn instance for DCI, I got this error

[edit routing-instances EVPN_COMPUTE_10 protocols evpn]
  'interconnect'
    EVPN: Only encapsulation mpls allowed under interconnect config EVPN_COMPUTE_10
error: configuration check-out failed

root@BG-02# show routing-instances EVPN_COMPUTE_10 
instance-type evpn;
protocols {
    evpn {
        encapsulation vxlan;
        default-gateway do-not-advertise;
        interconnect {
            esi {
                00:11:22:33:dd:ab:66:77:88:99;
                all-active;
            }
        }
    }
}
vtep-source-interface lo0.0;
vlan-id 10;
vxlan {
    vni 1000;
}
route-distinguisher 120.10.10.16:1000;
vrf-target target:1000:1000;

It seems MX does not support DCI using VXLAN ? Or I am wroing in my configuration ? Please help to support me.

Hi,

According to documentation, MX supports both VXLAN and MPLS encapsulation for EVPN.

However, under DCI, I don't see vrf-target and route-distinguisher for DCI itself. This is different from the regular vrf-target and route-distinguisher, belonging to routing-instance. 

Also, considering that DCI is performed, interconnect-vni-list should be defined and referred under each vxlan as translation-vni.
