Description

SCENARIO:

 

CLIENT1-----------------(ae1.0)LEAF1-------------------LEAF2(ae1.0)--------------------------CLIENT2

 


Symptoms

  • CLIENT1 requires to reach CLIENT2 using a "vlan-bundle" service mac-vrf.
  • Both devices belong to the same vlan.
  • EVPN Leaf to Leaf overlay is already in place.
  • Incoming traffic on ae1.0 is tagged with vlan 55


Solution

Configuration is below:

 

MAC-VRF INSTANCE:


set routing-instances TEST_VLAN_BUNDLE instance-type mac-vrf

set routing-instances TEST_VLAN_BUNDLE service-type vlan-bundle

set routing-instances TEST_VLAN_BUNDLE protocols evpn. >>>> no additional configuration required for protocols EVPN

set routing-instances TEST_VLAN_BUNDLE vlans TEST interface ae1.0

set routing-instances TEST_VLAN_BUNDLE route-distinguisher 172.19.2.22:2

set routing-instances TEST_VLAN_BUNDLE vrf-target target:2:1




CE INTERFACE:

set interfaces ae1 description "TEST"

set interfaces ae1 flexible-vlan-tagging

set interfaces ae1 mtu 9192

set interfaces ae1 encapsulation flexible-ethernet-services

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 esi 00:XX:00:00:00:00:00:XX:XX:02

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 esi single-active

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 esi df-election-type preference value 100

set interfaces ae1 aggregated-ether-options lacp active

set interfaces ae1 aggregated-ether-options lacp periodic fast

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 encapsulation vlan-bridge

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 vlan-id-list 3100-3133

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 vlan-id-list 3155-3163

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 vlan-id-list 3165-3166

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 vlan-id-list 3169-3171

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 vlan-id-list 3175

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 vlan-id-list 3177-3187

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 vlan-id-list 3199-3232

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 vlan-id-list 3240-3244

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 vlan-id-list 3260-3261

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 vlan-id-list 3600-3605

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 vlan-id-list 3699-3705

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 vlan-id-list 3712

set interfaces ae1 unit 0 vlan-id-list 4002-4003 <<<<<<< 1-4094 is equivalent to "vlan all" or can use for specific vlan: set interfaces ae1 unit 0 vlan-id-list 40003


set interfaces ae1 unit 3150 encapsulation vlan-bridge

set interfaces ae1 unit 3150 vlan-id 3150  




NOTES:

  1. No vlan-id configuration needed under the routing-instance.
  2. Customer vlans to be configured with vlan-id-list setting: "set interfaces ae1 unit 0 vlan-id-list..."
