Cisco VXLAN troubleshooting

ERROR after you configure EVPN

No VLAN id configured, unable to generate auto RD

This is because your NVE interface is down. Shutdown your NVE loopback and NVE interface, then unshut your loopback followed by NVE interface.

Border leaf receiving advertisement from external router and advertising to spine. Spine not advertising to other leafs. After review of the bgp l2vpn evpn routing table, its indicates “Path type: internal, path is invalid(no RMAC or L3VNI), no labeled nexthop”.

Why is this happening? Well because you don’t have the L3VNI configured properly. On the Border Leaf, verify that you have the L3VNI VLAN defined, the vni assigned to the VLAN and the interface VLAN defined with vrf and ip forward.

Example:

vlan 2500
name L3VNI-VLAN
vn-segment 50000

vrf context PROD
vni 50000
rd auto
address-family ipv4 unicast
route-target both auto
route-target both auto evpn
address-family ipv6 unicast
route-target both auto
route-target both auto evpn

interface Vlan2500
description L3VNI-SVI
no shutdown
mtu 9216
vrf member PROD
no ip redirects
ip forward
no ipv6 redirects

interface nve1
no shutdown
host-reachability protocol bgp
source-interface loopback1
member vni 50000 associate-vrf
