Configuring VXLAN BGP EVPN

You can use Virtual Extensible Local Area Networks (VXLANs) to extend reachability of a VLAN within a data center over Layer 3. When you use VXLANs, you are no longer restricted to using only 4096 VLANs in a data center.

The switch can be configured to provide a BGP Ethernet VPN (EVPN) control plane using a distributed Anycast gateway, with Layer 2 and Layer 3 VXLAN overlay networks.

For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS VXLAN BGP EVPN Configuration Guide, Release 7.x.

This section contains payload examples and CLIs to demonstrate how to use the NX-API REST API to configure VXLAN BGP EVPN on Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series switches and to show how the REST APIs correspond to the CLI commands.
