Course Overview
Welcome to the "Datacenter Fabric Connectivity" course! In this course, we'll delve into the critical aspects of modern data center networking, focusing on two key technologies: VXLAN and VPC. These technologies are essential for building scalable, resilient, and high-performance data center fabrics.
We'll explore the fundamental concepts, configuration steps, and best practices for implementing VXLAN and VPC in your data center. Through hands-on demonstrations, you'll gain practical experience in configuring these technologies on Cisco NX-OS devices.
By the end of this course, you'll have a solid understanding of VXLAN and VPC and be able to design and implement robust data center fabrics.
Course Topology
The course contains an EVE-NG lab file and a workbook. The workbook contains these tasks:
- Complete the basic configuration and make sure reachability is accomplished in the fabric.
- Configure Shadow RP on the spines and make sure multicast reachability is established.
- Configure VXLAN flood and learn in the fabric.
- Implement Anycast-RP in the fabric and check the connectivity.
- Change the configuration and enable VXLAN with EVPN for control plane.
- Configure inter-VXLAN routing. Make sure to use symmetric EVPN IRB on the leafs.
- Configure vPC on L1 and L2 and SW1.
- Create a double-sided vPC between the four Nexus switches in the topology.
- Configure “Active/Active forwarding” feature on the network. Add HSRP for all VLANs and make sure it works in Active/Active mode in data plane. Check the reachability of devices in the end.
- Configure “anycast-gateway” feature on the network. Make sure the connectivity is in place.
- Configure VXLAN and vPC in a way that we can see secondary IP address for the vPC connected domains and primary IP address for L3 networks attached to the fabric.
Good luck with your studies!
