vxlan basic setup on 9600 and how does BGP learn mac addresses ?

[carl_townshend]

Hi All

I am looking to configure vxlan on my 9600 switches for DCI interconnect.

Has anyone got a basic config to do this?

I believe there are 2 modes, the old flood and learn and then the EVPN model which uses BGP.

Which is best? I believe the EVPN?

Also, how does BGP learn the mac addresses? does it use extended communites? does it actually send the mac address In the community? or does it map the mac to an IP?

cheers
