Hello, OTV expert,

Not sure which is better for OTV Join-Interface, loopback or Port-Channel.

Would like to hear your thoughts please.

Thanks

Hi Cedar,

Kindly note that if you are using ASR1000's as your edge-device, they do not allow you to configure loopback interface as your join-interface. You can use port-channel as the join-interface.

I am not much aware in case of nexus. I will get back to you on the same.

Thanks,

Aries
