This feature is called Static VXLAN but it is also known as "Unicast VXLAN".

Below its definition is mentioned and the interchangeable name is used. 

 

Definition of the Feature: 

 

-Static Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), also known as unicast VXLAN, enables you to statically configure source and destination virtual tunnel endpoints (VTEPs) for a particular traffic flow.

-Static VXLAN (Unicast VXLAN)

You can implement Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) in a small multichassis link aggregation group (MC-LAG) network using the static VXLAN feature. In the MC-LAG network, Juniper Networks devices function as source and destination virtual tunnel endpoints (VTEPs).

 

Symptoms

Static Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), also known as unicast VXLAN, enables you to statically configure source and destination virtual tunnel endpoints (VTEPs) for a particular traffic flow. A source VTEP encapsulates and a destination VTEP de-encapsulates L2 packets with a VXLAN header, thereby tunneling the packets through an underlying Layer 3 IP network.

 

Note: 

Although this feature is also known as unicast VXLAN, static VXLAN tunnels can support both unicast and broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast (BUM) traffic. We support BUM traffic replication and forwarding using ingress replication.

 

Solution

“Static VXLAN on EX platform”

EX switches, specifically EX9208 and EX9214 do not support this feature, with the only exception of EX4650-48Y
