Enterprise SONiC Distribution by Dell Technologies is a hardened, validated, and supported version of the Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) operating system for switch configuration and monitoring. It includes distribution of open-source community SONiC and additional features to support the ecosystem and partners.
Enterprise SONiC supports an industry standard, intuitive Management Framework command-line interface (MF-CLI), and supports programmatic interfaces such as REST API, and the Google Remote Procedure Call (gRPC) Network Management Interface (gNMI). This guide uses MF-CLI to configure the network nodes.
The objective of this guide is to demonstrate the procedures to configure a BGP leaf-spine topology with an EVPN overlay to support L2 multirack and multitenancy capabilities. Symmetric routing is used between networks in same VRF. This topology meets many of the requirements for a modern data center to support segmentation and mobility of virtual machines.
