To use loopbacks you would need to recurse to a route to the loopbacks to form the neighbors, that alone has its disadvantages.
1) The route will need an underlying interface to reach the loopback, in SDA, that interface would be LISP interface, whic...
When troubleshooting multicast is very important to define the following:What and where is the source sending this multicast traffic? Inside the fabric or outside?What is the multicast group you want to troubleshoot? Is the receiver inside the fabric...
Overlay load balancing does not exist in L2 traffic, as one MAC registered by different ETRs is considered "mac-move". A destination MAC will always take the unicast routing path to the RLOC registering that MAC. There should not be a reason for the...
When a FE needs to encapsulate to a Border in VXLAN, the load balancing algorithm takes the inner header information (src-dst), it can either take BNx or BNy.
Unfortunately, CEF next hop hashing is just the software side of things, even using "exact route" will not give you the exact hashing for a specific traffic flow, as that depends on the equal-cost routing implementation in each hardware platform. The...
