In an previous post Advertising IPs In EVPN Route Type 2, I described use cases for advertising IP addresses in EVPN route type 2. Host ARP and host mobility I already covered so today we will focus on host routing.
To be able to show this scenario, I have added another server (SERVER-2) and will be using the topology below:
There is already existing configuration for VLAN 10 (L2 VNI) and for VLAN 100 (L3 VNI) which is shown below:
vrf context Tenant1
vni 10001
rd auto
address-family ipv4 unicast
route-target both auto
route-target both auto evpn
!
interface Vlan10
no shutdown
vrf member Tenant1
ip address 198.51.100.1/24
fabric forwarding mode anycast-gateway
!
interface Vlan100
no shutdown
mtu 9216
vrf member Tenant1
ip forward
To get SERVER-2 connected the following is needed:
This is shown below:
vlan 20
vn-segment 10002
!
interface nve1
member vni 10002
ingress-replication protocol bgp
!
interface Vlan20
no shutdown
vrf member Tenant1
ip address 10.0.0.1/24
fabric forwarding mode anycast-gateway
!
interface Ethernet1/3

David Bombal invited me for another annual chat last December, focusing on (what else) networking careers in 2024. The results were published a few days ago, and I was amazed at how good it turned out. I always love chatting with David; this time, his editing team did a masterful job.
The Internet of Things (IoT) has been brewing for many years–but how do all these new devices impact your network? Are there new concepts and architectures you need to learn to get a handle on IoT? Jasbir Singh, author of a new book on IoT architecture, joins Tom and Russ for this episode of the Hedge.
We have five decades of very fine-grained analysis of CPU compute engines in the datacenter, and changes come at a steady but glacial pace when it comes to CPU serving. …

I’m not a wireless engineer by trade. I don’t have a lab of access points that I’m using to test the latest and greatest solutions. I leave that to my friends. I fall more in the camp of having a working wireless network that meets my needs and keeps my family from yelling at me when the network is down.
For the last five years my house has been running on Ubiquiti gear. You may recall I did a review back in 2018 after having it up and running for a few months. Since then I’ve had no issues. In fact, the only problem I had was not with the gear but with the machine I installed the controller software on. Turns out hard disk drives do eventually go bad and I needed to replace it and get everything up and running again. Which was my intention when it went down sometime in 2021. Of course, life being what it is I deprioritized the recovery of the system. I realized after more than a year that my wireless network hadn’t hiccuped once. Sure, I couldn’t make any changes to it but the joy of having a stable environment Continue reading
What do you get when you write code next to a Christmas tree? You can expect to get tons of eye candy, and that’s what netlab release 1.7.1 is all about.
It all started with a cleanup idea: I could replace the internal ASCII table-drawing code with the prettytable library. Stefan was quick to point out that I should be looking at the rich library, and the rest is history:

I published dozens of free-to-download slide decks on ipSpace.net. Downloading them required the free ipSpace.net subscription which is no longer available because I refuse to play a whack-a-mole game with spammers.
You might like the workaround I had to implement to keep those PDFs accessible: they are no longer behind a regwall.
