Traffic Forwarding Issue with EVPNs on NCS-540

Hello,

We having problem in creating L2VPN EVPN using NCS-540.

We already have multiple NCS-5508 and NCS-55A2 in our network, and we have no issue in running EVPNs. But the same config is not working on NCS-540.

The control plane seems to be fine as the PE devices are successfully exchanging the MAC addresses but the traffic is not flowing across the VPN.


Below are some configuration details:

Please note that the exact same config is working on other NCS55A2 & NCS5508 nodes. The problem is only being faced on NCS540.

Are we missing something? Do we need to do any additional config on the NCS540?

on the l2transport interface, looks like you are missing "rewrite ingresss tag pop 1 symmetric"

other than that it would be a data path issue, you can use a tool such as span to file to narrow down where the traffic is being los

Thanks for your response.

"rewrite ingresss tag pop 1 symmetric" is not applicable in our case as we are trying to forward tagged traffic (and also we dont have double tags).


If the bridge receive tag frame then you need rewite ingress.

Also bridge use between different point connect to same device here you need brdige between psudo and interface direct connect<<- i will try find example for you for this case
