Level 1

Please send me other reference link documentation on cisco apart from this "https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/mp_l2_vpns/configuration/xe-16-9/mp-l2-vpns-xe-16-9-book/evpn-multihoming.html" because this documentation not explain for configure on CE/Switch.

 

Thank's

Hi,

CE1 uses a port channel consisting of links, L11 and L12, to connect to PE1 and PE2, respectively.

the port channel can support flow-based load balancing for traffic egress towards PE1 and PE2.

 

Hope the information helped.

Hi pman,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

when I configure the lacp on the port on the router CE the port turns off. Can I use the "ON" mode?

 

Because I using version the router CSR on the my eve-ng still running 16.09.07

Hi,

 

LACP should configure according to the following example (without "on" mode):

side 1: active

side 2: active

OR

side 1: active

side 2: passive

Hi pman,

 

Actually, I mean I'm not using LACP on the port. is it possible to use the on mode without using the active-active or active-passive LACP method for from CE to PE ?

yes, 

 

If I'm not mistaken it should be something like this:

 

side1:

interface GigabitEthernet1
channel-group 1 mode on

!There are versions that do not have the word "on" and the following command is sufficient: "channel-group 1"

!

interface Port-channel1
ip address 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.0

 

side2:

interface GigabitEthernet1
channel-group 1 mode on

!There are versions that do not have the word "on" and the following command is sufficient: "channel-group 1"
!
interface Port-channel1
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

 

 

output example:

Router# show etherchannel summary
Flags: D - down P/bndl - bundled in port-channel
I - stand-alone s/susp - suspended
H - Hot-standby (LACP only)
R - Layer3 S - Layer2

M - not in use, minimum links not met

w - waiting to be aggregated
d - default port


Number of channel-groups in use: 1
Number of aggregators: 1

In the case of EVPN Multihoming I saw the following restrictions:

Restrictions for EVPN Multihoming

  • The number of bridge domains that are supported are 16000.

  • Only all-active redundancy mode (2 or 2+ PEs in the same redundancy group sharing the same ESI and all forwarding traffic) is supported.

  • Single-active mode is not supported.

  • Only access-side flow-based load balancing with multihoming LAG ON mode is supported. Any ether-channel signaling (LACP or PAgP) is not supported.
