Hi
I have setup an IP fabric with EVPN control plane using VXLAN in the data plane. I have multiple DC's and so far this is working well. All of my end devices are bare metal or vlan based hypervisors ESXi etc.
My current L3 interfaces are not VXLAN aware.
I now have the requirement for NSX, I see that I need to configure OVSDB support on the qfx5100s to point to the NSX controller.
If the MAC learning control plane passes to the NSX controller, is this then superceding EVPN? Or is it setup in addition too.
Cant find any decent information regarding this type of setup.
Questions:
- Would I be correct in assuming that the OVSDB would control MAC learning inside a Data center. That the EVPN would move to the WAN edge for DCI.
- That I would also need to get something like an MX that can be controlled by the NSX controller , can run EVPN for the DCI and also have the L3 interfaces VXLAN aware?
- Is there another design without this type of edge platform? ie just using the qfx5100 hardware already in place
many thanks
