vMX evpn/vxlan virtual-gateway configuration questions

  • 1.  vMX evpn/vxlan virtual-gateway configuration questions

    Posted 05-14-2020 21:29

    I configured evpn/vlxan virtual gateways on QFX10008, it works fine.

    I am doing some training lab where vMX is used. I could not get it working.

    set interfaces irb unit 100 virtual-gateway-accept-data   (training material)
    set interfaces irb unit 100 family inet address 10.200.100.250/24 virtual-gateway-address 10.200.100.254
    set interfaces irb unit 101 proxy-macip-advertisement   (JNCIE Tech site)
    set interfaces irb unit 101 family inet address 10.200.101.250/24 virtual-gateway-address 10.200.101.254
    

    which is a right approach? what differences ?

    On the client, I can see the arp.

    Server-3#show arp
    Protocol  Address          Age (min)  Hardware Addr   Type   Interface
    Internet  10.200.101.3            -   aabb.cc00.b000  ARPA   Ethernet0/0.101
    Internet  10.200.101.250          5   2c6b.f57b.b3f0  ARPA   Ethernet0/0.101
    Internet  10.200.101.254        125   0000.5e00.0101  ARPA   Ethernet0/0.101
    

    On vMX, I can see MAC for server-3

    root@vMX7# run show bridge mac-table
    
    MAC flags       (S -static MAC, D -dynamic MAC, L -locally learned, C -Control MAC
        O -OVSDB MAC, SE -Statistics enabled, NM -Non configured MAC, R -Remote PE MAC)
    
    Routing instance : overlay
     Bridging domain : BD-101, VLAN : 101
       MAC                 MAC      Logical                Active
       address             flags    interface              source
       aa:bb:cc:00:b0:00   DL       ae0.0
    

    But ping does not work.

    Server-3#ping 10.200.101.254
    Type escape sequence to abort.
    Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.200.101.254, timeout is 2 seconds:
    .....
    Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)
    

    vxlan configuration

    root@vMX7# show routing-instances | display set
    set routing-instances overlay vtep-source-interface lo0.0
    set routing-instances overlay instance-type virtual-switch
    set routing-instances overlay interface ae0.0
    set routing-instances overlay interface ae1.0
    set routing-instances overlay route-distinguisher 10.200.0.7:7
    set routing-instances overlay vrf-target target:64513:1
    set routing-instances overlay vrf-target auto
    set routing-instances overlay protocols evpn encapsulation vxlan
    set routing-instances overlay protocols evpn extended-vni-list all
    set routing-instances overlay protocols evpn multicast-mode ingress-replication
    set routing-instances overlay protocols evpn default-gateway no-gateway-community
    set routing-instances overlay bridge-domains BD-100 vlan-id 100
    set routing-instances overlay bridge-domains BD-100 routing-interface irb.100
    set routing-instances overlay bridge-domains BD-100 vxlan vni 5100
    set routing-instances overlay bridge-domains BD-100 vxlan ingress-node-replication
    set routing-instances overlay bridge-domains BD-101 vlan-id 101
    set routing-instances overlay bridge-domains BD-101 routing-interface irb.101
    set routing-instances overlay bridge-domains BD-101 vxlan vni 5101
    

    thanks in advance !!

    Hi Gentlemen,

    The accept data knob is paramount to allow ICMPs towards the Virtual gateway, I don't see you have that configured for IRB 101.

    The difference is that the macip-advertisement makes the Layer 3 gateway advertises the host MAC and IP routes along with the next hop, which is set to the Layer 2 gateway to which the host is attached.

    thanks for taking a look.

    I did have this line

    set interfaces irb unit 101 virtual-gateway-accept-data.

    But it did not work, I removed and tried proxy-macip-advertisement;

    Unfortunately, not work either.

    Not sure whether because of vMX image.

    Can you see any configuration issue if I add virtual-gateway-accept-data back ?

     

    thanks !!

    Hey 

     

    Something else you could try is to upgrade to the latest and greatest. then I would have the following knob configured: virtual-gateway-v4-mac.

     

    You can explicitly configure an IPv4 or IPv6 MAC address for a default gateway by using the virtual-gateway-v4-mac or virtual-gateway-v6-mac configuration statement at the [edit interfaces name irb unit logical-unit-number] hierarchy level. After you perform this configuration, the automatically generated MAC address is overridden by the configured MAC address. 

     

    If this solves your problem, please mark this post as "Accepted Solution" so we can help others too \:)/

    Sorry it is my bad.  I found my vtep-source-interface wrong. It should be lo0.0. I entered lo0 instead in one of the routers.

    Hi Simon,
    With MX devices running EVPN-VXLAN and using irb with virtual-gateway i think you do not need esi and virtual-gateway-v4-mac configurations for the device to run properly. also you may need to add multipath to overlay bgp configuration. Could you please check these configurations.

    Hi , that was config where I was trying a few things to try and force it work. with or without virtual-gateway-v4-mac

    The .254 and the IRB DO respond to arp the DO route traffic , it just seems they reject ICMP / SSH does it does feel like this is CPU bound traffic that has this issue. 

    I read in the MX book that this traffic handled by the line card, I wonder if these is a issues here ( this why I had the line 

    set routing-options ppm no-delegate-processing
    set routing-options ppm no-inline-processing


    but still same result. 

    Regards

    Simon

    I upgraded my vMX to 20.4R3.8 and instantly it started working.  so there is a bug here somewhere.

    Hmm interesting. To be honest I do recall there being a sizable number of EVPN issues being resolved going from 18.4 to 19.4 (in our network), so quite frankly I am not very surprised seeing your previous version of 18.3, but still odd that it didnt work. Glad to see it's working now though, guess there was either a bug or a change in some of how EVPN-VXLAN needs to be configured (I know there were some fairly fundamental changes between Junos 18 and 19 in this regard, though I wouldnt be able to point you to specifics at the moment)
