How to do LAG ports using VXLAN?

[Rolando Valenzuela]

I'm pretty sure I'm not using the right term and that is why I cannot find it on Google, but reading some Juniper documentation for work, they mention about creating a lag port between a server and two independent leaf switches with VXLAN and EVPN and that got me curious on how to do it with Cisco and I'm not able to find the right terminology to get to the configuration guide.

I am familiar on how to create Layer 2 and 3 VNI, but what about LAG ports?

Thanks!

Use two nexus vPC and connect each one two Server with PortChannel.

But isn't the whole idea of the datacenter design to treat each leaf and spine as independent switches? Is there another way without vPC? just using EVPN?

Hi Rolando,

Are you looking for ESI based EVPN multihoming?

Cisco NX-OS allows either vPC based EVPN multihoming or ESI based EVPN multihoming. Both features should not be enabled together. ESI based multihoming is enabled using evpn esi multihoming CLI command. It is important to note that the command for ESI multihoming enables the Ethernet-segment configurations and the generation of Ethernet-segment routes on the switches.
