VXLAN EVPN Vlan 1

[Soporteco]

Hi

Does anyone know how can we configure Vlan 1 on VXLAN EVPN? We're using DCNM to deploy a fabric.

We can create any vlans ffrom 2-3967. We tried to configure manually:

leaf01-F(config)# vlan 1
leaf01-F(config-vlan)# vn-segment 30001
Message reported by command :: end
Can't configure vnsegment id for Native Vlan 1
Cannot run commands in the mode at this moment. Please try again.
ERROR: Failed to write VSH commands

It doesn't seem to allow it, but we need it!!

Appreciate any help.

Hi Perkin.

The solution was to upgrade the code of the switches. 

I guess our switches were Nexus 93108tc-ex and Nexus 93180yc-ex running version 9.2(2) and we upgraded to 9.2(3). After that, we could configure vlan 1 with its corresponding vnid, just as other vlans.

However DCNM doesn't allow to configure vlan 1 from "Networks" tab, so we had to configure Vlan 1 from the Leaf Freeform Config tab on Fabric Builder option.

configure profile vlan1
vlan 1
vn-segment 30001
interface Vlan1
vrf member VRF-name
no ip redirects
no ipv6 redirects
fabric forwarding mode anycast-gateway
no shutdown
