VXLAN tunnel configuration
Examples that show you how to configure a VXLAN tunnel.
In the examples in this section, Vyatta routers R1
and R2
are configured as VTEPs. H1
and H2
are hosts that are connected to R1
and R2
. These hosts communicate with each other over the VXLAN tunnel.
The VXLAN tunnel is established between the two VTEPs and it runs over a normal IP transport layer.
The two VTEPs in these examples are on the same subnet (10.10.2.x/24
network), but they don't have to be. The VTEPs can be on any subnet as long as they are reachable via normal routing protocols.
- The hosts,
H1
andH2
are on the overlay network. (1.1.1.0/24
). - The VTEP,
R1
is directly connected toH1
; and the second VTEP,R2
, is directly connected toH2
. The transport network is10.10.2.0/24
. - The VXLAN tunnel and the interface connecting each host are members of a bridge (
br1
) on each router. H1
andH2
can ping each other over the VXLAN tunnel, because the packets are bridged across the VXLAN tunnel.
