Verify BGP EVPN and VXLAN between leaf switches
Verify BGP EVPN and VXLAN between leaf switches
-
For the L2 VXLAN virtual networks to communicate, each leaf must be able to establish a connection to the other leaf switches before host MAC information can be exchanged. Verify that peering is successful and BGP EVPN routing has been established.
- Run the show ip bgp l2vpn evpn summary command to display information about the BGP EVPN and TCP connections to neighbors. Figure 22 shows the BGP states between leaf switch sfo01-Leaf01A and sfo01-spine01 (10.2.1.1) and sfo01-spine02 (10.2.1.2).

- Run the show evpn evi command to verify the current state of all configured virtual networks. Figure 23 shows the state of each virtual network as Up and that the Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) VRF is set to tenant1.
Note: EVIs 1611-1613 were previously configured. See Prerequisites.
