Why L3VNI State is "Down"?

Jbr002

Level 1

Hi, all. 

I am learning VXLAN using Nexus 9000v on CML2.

I could configure to communicate between alpine-1 and alpine-3.

But I couldn't between alpine-1 and alpine-4.

I configured nxsus switches refferensing this url.

But "show nve vni" command shows L3VNI is down. Why?

And nx9k-2(spine) doesn't receive L3 route on bgp.

Why leaf nodes dones't advertise local L3 routes?

1) You don't need to re-define `vrf context` for the external routes on sw1, however you need your tenancy vfr context configured on both sw1 and sw2

2) You need to import external routes using matching RD from vrf context external of the sw4.

I can suggest you going though examples from that blog https://blog.avidpontoon.co.uk/vxlan-evpn-multi-site-part-9-external-access-outside-fabric/
