Abstract
This document discusses solutions for inter-connection of multiple DHS DC sites with dual fabric VxLAN
technology. Two tasks are discussed in this document.
1. In the first task, two BGW Switches are connected to ACI Leaf Switches in both ACI DCs with Dual
Fabric vPC over VxLAN with vPC anycast GW.
2. In the second task for VxLAN Multisite Configuration, BGW Switches are connected to other site BGW
for the extension of L2/L3 network between multiple dc sites.
- Two Border Gateway Switches (BGWs) which supports VxLAN technology will be dual connected to
ACI leaf switches with vPC Anycast VTEP Address on each ACI DC sites.
- Two Border Gateway Switches (BGWs) which supports VxLAN technology will be dual connected to
N7K switches with vPC Anycast VTEP Address.
Task 2 : VxLAN Multisite Configuration
Step 1 : Configure Peer-keepalive link

Step 4 : VTEP redundancy with vPC
*Configuration on BGW1*
interface loopback100
description ** VTEP/Overlay **
ip address 192.168.100.101/32
ip address 192.168.100.100/32 secondary
ip router ospf UNDERLAY-NET area 0.0.0.0
ip pim sparse-mode
*Configuration on BGW2*
interface loopback200
description ** VTEP/Overlay **
ip address 192.168.100.102/32
ip address 192.168.100.100/32 secondary
ip router ospf UNDERLAY-NET area 0.0.0.0
ip pim sparse-mode
Step 5 : Define loopback ip address as the Source ip address of each DC Site using loopback command on BGW
switches
- Loopback1 at DC1, Loopback2 at MLK and Loopback3 at LACUSE
Step 9 : Use underlay IGP to advertise the BGW IP internal to each other
- Need to do configuration changes in APIC and N7K switches
