The command interface vxlan vtep-stacking followed by map vni 10010 vlan 100 maps the VLAN traffic that an SVLAN identifies to a VNI on a VTEP. In this context, SVLAN (Service VLAN) is being mapped to a VXLAN Network Identifier (VNI) for encapsulation and transport across the VXLAN tunnel.

Ingress VTEP performs a route lookup that is based on the destination IP address.

Ingress VTEP encapsulates the packet with VXLAN and sends it on the appropriate VNI segment.

Egress VTEP determines that the host is local to the VNI and switches the packet.

Egress VTEP bridges the packet after decapsulation.

Steps and Correct Order:

Ingress VTEP performs a route lookup that is based on the destination IP address.

The ingress VTEP (Virtual Tunnel Endpoint) first needs to determine the next hop for the packet. This involves performing a route lookup using the destination IP address.

Ingress VTEP encapsulates the packet with VXLAN and sends it on the appropriate VNI segment.

Once the route lookup is complete, the ingress VTEP encapsulates the packet in a VXLAN header, which includes the appropriate VNI (VXLAN Network Identifier) segment, and forwards it.

Egress VTEP determines that the host is local to the VNI and switches the packet.

The egress VTEP receives the encapsulated VXLAN packet, decapsulates it, and then checks its local VNI to determine if the destination host is within the same VNI.

Egress VTEP bridges the packet after decapsulation.

After determining the destination host's locality, the egress VTEP bridges the packet to the appropriate interface to deliver it to the final destination.

These steps provide a comprehensive guide to understand the correct order of operations in asymmetric IRB (Integrated Routing and Bridging) frame encapsulation within a VXLAN environment.

When running symmetric Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) with two Virtual Forwarding Routers (VFRs), BGP must be configured twice. Each VFR will have its own BGP instance to handle the routing information.

Configure VLAN Translation (A): VLAN translation is necessary to translate customer VLANs (CVLANs) to service VLANs (SVLANs) for Q-in-Q tunneling in a VXLAN environment.

Map the SVLAN traffic to a VNI (B): SVLAN traffic must be mapped to a VXLAN Network Identifier (VNI) for encapsulation and transport across the VXLAN overlay network.

The show mclag interface command provides information about the multi-chassis link aggregation (MC-LAG) configuration. Essential elements that must be included are the peer-link port channel number and the MC-LAG port channel number. These parameters are critical for identifying the interface and its associated link aggregation settings.

Here are the steps to configure the required port channel and VLAN settings on Switch A:

Enter Configuration Mode:

SwitchA# configure terminal

Create Port Channel 10:

SwitchA(config)# interface port-channel 10

SwitchA(config-if-po10)# switchport mode trunk

SwitchA(config-if-po10)# switchport trunk native vlan 1

SwitchA(config-if-po10)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10

Assign Interfaces Eth 1/11 and Eth 1/12 to Port Channel 10:

SwitchA(config)# interface ethernet 1/11

SwitchA(config-if-eth1/11)# channel-group 10 mode active

SwitchA(config-if-eth1/11)# exit

SwitchA(config)# interface ethernet 1/12

SwitchA(config-if-eth1/12)# channel-group 10 mode active

SwitchA(config-if-eth1/12)# exit

Configure Interface Eth 1/1 for Server Connection:

SwitchA(config)# interface ethernet 1/1

SwitchA(config-if-eth1/1)# switchport mode trunk

SwitchA(config-if-eth1/1)# switchport trunk native vlan 1

SwitchA(config-if-eth1/1)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10

SwitchA(config-if-eth1/1)# end

Save Configuration:

SwitchA# write memory

Comprehensive Detailed Step by Step Explanation with References:

Enter Configuration Mode:

Start by entering the global configuration mode to make changes to the switch configuration.

Create Port Channel 10:

Enter the port channel interface configuration mode using interface port-channel 10.

Set the port channel to trunk mode with switchport mode trunk.

Specify VLAN 1 as the native VLAN (untagged) using switchport trunk native vlan 1.

Allow VLANs 1 and 10 on the trunk with switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10.

Assign Interfaces Eth 1/11 and Eth 1/12 to Port Channel 10:

Enter interface configuration mode for ethernet 1/11 and ethernet 1/12.

Assign each interface to port channel 10 using the channel-group 10 mode active command.

Exit the interface configuration mode.

Configure Interface Eth 1/1 for Server Connection:

Enter interface configuration mode for ethernet 1/1.

Set the interface to trunk mode with switchport mode trunk.

Specify VLAN 1 as the native VLAN using switchport trunk native vlan 1.

Allow VLANs 1 and 10 on the trunk with switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10.

Exit the configuration mode.

Save Configuration:

Ensure the configuration is saved so it persists after a reboot using the write memory command.

Here is the step-by-step configuration for R1:

Enter BGP Configuration Mode:

R1# configure terminal

R1(config)# router bgp 1

Configure the BGP Neighbor:

R1(config-router)# neighbor 10.10.12.2 remote-as 2

Redistribute Connected Routes into BGP:

R1(config-router)# redistribute connected

Exit BGP Configuration Mode and Save the Configuration:

R1(config-router)# end

R1# write memory

Comprehensive Detailed Step by Step Explanation with References:

Enter BGP Configuration Mode:

To configure BGP on R1, you need to enter global configuration mode and then enter BGP configuration mode with the AS number. Since R1 is in AS 1, you use the command router bgp 1.

Configure the BGP Neighbor:

BGP neighbors must be manually specified. In this case, R1's neighbor is R2, which has an IP address of 10.10.12.2 and resides in AS 2. The command neighbor 10.10.12.2 remote-as 2 establishes this relationship.

Redistribute Connected Routes into BGP:

To ensure that all connected routes on R1 are advertised via BGP, you use the redistribute connected command. This ensures that any connected IPv4 routes are redistributed into BGP, meeting the requirement to advertise current and future connected routes.

Exit BGP Configuration Mode and Save the Configuration:

Once the configuration is complete, you exit BGP configuration mode by typing end and then save the configuration with the write memory command. This ensures that the changes persist after a reboot.
