Description:


Lukas Krattiger (@CCIE21921), Technical Marketing Engineer and Samir Thoria, Principal Engineer at Cisco join Ethan Banks and Greg Ferro for a discussion of how the Cisco Nexus 9K switching platform can use BGP as a control plane for VXLAN. If that sentence made your head hurt, let’s condense this discussion down to the following points.

  1. VXLAN needs a control plane. IETF does not specify one.
  2. The EVPN folks are using BGP for their control plane.
  3. Cisco has adapted BGP for EVPN as BGP for VXLAN.
  4. Voila! BGP as a VXLAN control plane. Supported today on NX9K kit. Tomorrow on more Cisco kit.
  5. Cisco is working with the IETF to extend the EVPN/BGP control plane to accommodate their work with VXLAN/BGP.

Got it? Not yet? Perfect. Then you’ll have to listen to the show and follow up with some reading & further listening. You know, like in the links below.

Our thanks to Cisco for sponsoring the show today.
