The Fast-Track Guide to VXLAN BGP EVPN Fabrics: Implement Today’s Multi-Tenant Software-Defined Networks

Offers an extensive guide to implementing VXLAN BGP EVPN fabrics, focusing heavily on the spine-and-leaf architecture in data center networking. It details the logical and physical components necessary for fabric creation, including the configuration of the underlay network using protocols like OSPF and IS-IS, and establishing the overlay network with BGP EVPN and multicast for traffic transport. The source dedicates significant space to advanced functionalities such as multitenancy via VRFs, various redundancy mechanisms like Anycast Gateway, and methods for connecting the VXLAN fabric to external networks. Finally, it explores different deployment models, including multipod, multisite, and spineless ingress replication...
