Hello!
N00b question I'm sure.
I have a pair of Nexus 93180YC-EX running 9.2(2) in VPC mode.
I'm trying to get a basic VXLAN EVPN between them. This is a working "Classic" environment, only have the two 9ks, no other swithes. This is a secondary DC, so I'm starting there... I have a pair of 7706s at my primary DC that I'll look to expand this to as well later on. Overall goal is to be able to have a couple of the same VLANs at secondary DC.
Anyway, VPC is running in classic is fine.
I'm trying to follow this configuration guide:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus9000/sw/92x/vxlan-92x/configuration/guide/b-cisco-nexus-9000-series-nx-os-vxlan-configuration-guide-92x/b_Cisco_Nexus_9000_Series_NX-OS_VXLAN_Configuration_Guide_9x_chapter_0100.html
It seems none of the "evpn" config options are available to me.
I had to enabled 'feature fabric forwarding' to get the fabric commands that are referenced, but asside from that, I'm trying to follow it pretty closely.
Here's an example of what's missing:
Config guide says:
Configuring VRF for VXLAN Routing
Configure the tenant VRF.
Procedure
Command or Action Purpose
| Step 1 | vrf context vxlan | Configure the VRF. |
| Step 2 | vni number | Specify VNI. |
| Step 3 | rd auto | Specify VRF RD (route distinguisher). |
| Step 4 | address-family ipv4 unicast | Configure address family for IPv4. |
| Step 5 | route-target both auto | | Note | Specifying the auto option is applicable only for IBGP. Manually configured route targets are required for EBGP. |
|
| Step 6 | route-target both auto evpn | | Note | Specifying the auto option is applicable only for IBGP. Manually configured route targets are required for EBGP. |
|
My Results:
DR-N9k-2(config)# vrf context VXLANTEST
DR-N9k-2(config-vrf)# vni 5076
DR-N9k-2(config-vrf)# rd auto
DR-N9k-2(config-vrf)# address-family ipv4 unicast
DR-N9k-2(config-vrf-af-ipv4)# route-target both auto
DR-N9k-2(config-vrf-af-ipv4)# route-target both auto evpn

<CR>
DR-N9k-2(config-vrf-af-ipv4)# route-target both auto
Another Example:
Configuring BGP on the VTEP
Procedure
Command or Action Purpose
| Step 1 | router bgp number | Configure BGP. |
| Step 2 | router-id address | Specify router address. |
| Step 3 | neighbor address remote-as number | Define MPBGP neighbors. Under each neighbor define L2VPN EVPN. |
| Step 4 | address-family ipv4 unicast | Configure the address family for IPv4. |
| Step 5 | address-family l2vpn evpn | Configure address family Layer 2 VPN EVPN under the BGP neighbor. | Note | Address-family IPv4 EVPN for VXLAN host-based routing |
|
| Step 6 | (Optional) Allowas-in | (Optional) Allows duplicate autonomous system (AS) numbers in the AS path. Configure this parameter on the leaf for eBGP when all leafs are using the same AS, but the spines have a different AS than leafs. |
| Step 7 | send-community extended | Configures community for BGP neighbors. |
| Step 8 | vrf vrf-name | Specify VRF. |
| Step 9 | address-family ipv4 unicast | Configure the address family for IPv4. |
| Step 10 | advertise l2vpn evpn | Enable advertising EVPN routes. | Note | Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 9.2(1), the advertise l2vpn evpn command no longer takes effect. To disable advertisement for a VRF toward the EVPN, disable the VNI in NVE by entering the no member vni vni associate-vrf command in interface nve1. The vni is the VNI associated with that particular VRF. |

Is there something I'm missing here? A license? A feature?
