L2VPN and Ethernet Services Configuration Guide for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers, IOS XR Release 6.9.x

EVPN IRB

Ethernet VPN (EVPN) provides an extensible and flexible multi-homing VPN solution for Layer 2 connectivity among hosts over an MPLS core/IP network. EVPN Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) feature enables Layer 3 forwarding among hosts across different IP subnets, while maintaining the multi-homing capabilities of EVPN. Also, EVPN IRB feature enables EVPN hosts or subnets to communicate with IP VPNs.

The above figure illustrates a scenario where EVPN IRB is deployed using three EVPN PE routers that provide single-homing or multi-homing Active-Active access. The PE routers exchange EVPN and IP VPN BGP address-families information. In Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router, the centralized EVPN gateway with both EVPN and VPN address-families are enabled, so EVPN route stitching and re-origination does not occur. The single IP VPN gateway provides access to other IP VPNs or the Internet. The IP VPN gateway exchanges VPNv4 or VPNv6 address families with the EVPN PE routers but EVPN address family is not available.

In the above figure, the host sends an IP packet whose frame contain its MAC and IP address. The frame of the packet also includes the destination MAC address of the BVI interface of the local PE device and the IP address of the destination host. When the host is required to send packets for routing to other subnets and IP VPN or the Internet, the host uses the MAC address of the local BVI interface as destination MAC address. The IRB interface receives the packet in whose frame the interface’s MAC address is set as the destination. The IRB interface routes the packet to the destination after looking up the VRF table. The PE device chooses an intra-subnet route registered earlier in the VRF table. The MAC address that matches the destination IP, in the earlier route, becomes the new MAC address which replaces the existing MAC address in the packet. The packet reaches the destination remote PE device, to which the destination host is connected, which does an inter-subnet looks up in the VRF table for the MAC address of the destination host. Then, through the IRB interface, the remote PE device forwards the packet to the destination host.

EVPN Single-Homing Access EVPN Gateway

The EVPN provider edge (PE) devices learn the MAC address and IP address from the ARP traffic that they receives from the customer edge (CE) devices. The PEs create the MAC+IP routes. The PEs advertise the MAC+IP routes to MPLS core. They inject the host IP routes to IP-VPN gateway. All the PE nodes add the host routes in the IP-VRF table. The EVPN PE nodes add MAC route to the MAC-VRF table. The IP-VPN PE advertise the subnet routes to the provider edge devices who add the subnet routes to IP-VRF table. On the PE devices, IRB IP addresses and MAC addresses are not advertised through BGP. The IRB IP addresses or MAC addresses are used to send ARP requests towards the datacenter CEs.

EVPN Multi-Homing Active-Active

EVPN Multi-homing access gateway enables redundant network connectivity by allowing a CE device to connect to more than one PE devices. Disruptions to the network connectivity are prevented by allowing a CE device to be connected to a PE device or several PE devices through multi-homing. Ethernet segment is the bunch of Ethernet links through which a CE device is connected to more than one PE devices. The Multi-chassis Link Aggregation Group (MC-LAG) bundle operates as an Ethernet segment. In Release 6.2.1, only MC bundles crossing two chassis are supported.

In EVPN IRB, both EVPN and IP VPN (both VPNv4 and VPNv6) address families are enabled between ASR 9000 Data Center Interconnect (DCI) gateways. When Layer 2 (L2) stretch is not available in multiple datacenters (DC), routing is established through VPNv4 or VPNv6 routes. When Layer 2 stretch is available, host routing is applied where IP-MAC routes are learnt by ARP/IPv6 ND and are distributed to EVPN/BGP. In remote peer gateway, these IP-MAC EVPN routes are imported into IP VPN routing table from EVPN route-type 2 routes with secondary label and Layer 3 VRF route-target.

EVPN IRB Support

EVPN IRB supports the following scenarios:

In single-homing scenario, only physical, VLAN, .1q, .1ad, or QinQ access methods are supported.
In dual-homing scenario, only two PE gateways in a redundancy group are supported.
Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.

Distributed Anycast Gateway

EVPN IRB for the given subnet is configured on all the EVPN PEs that are hosted on this subnet. To facilitate optimal routing while supporting transparent virtual machine mobility, hosts are configured with a single default gateway address for their local subnet. That single (anycast) gateway address is configured with a single (anycast) MAC address on all EVPN PE nodes locally supporting that subnet. This process is repeated for each locally defined subnet requires Anycast Gateway support.

The host-to-host Layer 3 traffic, similar to Layer 3 VPN PE-PE forwarding, is routed on the source EVPN PE to the destination EVPN PE next-hop over an IP or MPLS tunnel, where it is routed again to the directly connected host. Such forwarding is also known as Symmetric IRB because the Layer 3 flows are routed at both the source and destination EVPN PEs.

The following solutions are part of the Distributed Anycast Gateway feature:

EVPN IRB with Active-Active Multi-Homing with Subnet Stretch or Host-Routing across the Fabric

For a bridge domain or subnet that is stretched across remote EVPN PEs, both /32 host routes and MAC routes are distributed in a EVPN overlay control plane to enable Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic to the end points in a stretched subnet.

This type of multi-homing has the following characteristics:

All-active MC-LAG on access
Layer 2 or Layer 3 ECMP for the fabric for dual-homed hosts based on Route Type 1 and Route Type 2
Layer 3 unipath over the Fabric for single-homed hosts based on Route Type 2
Layer 2 subnet stretch over the fabric
Layer 2 stretch within redundancy group of leafs with orphan ports

MAC and IP Unicast Control Plane

This use case has following types:

Prefix Routing or No Subnet Stretch

IP reachability across the fabric is established using subnet prefix routes that are advertised using EVPN Route Type 5 with the VPN label and VRF RTs. Host ARP and MAC sync are established across multi-homing EVPN PEs using MAC+IP Route Type 2 based on a shared ESI to enable local switching through both the multi-homing EVPN PEs.

Host Routing or Stretched Subnet

When a host is discovered through ARP, the MAC and IP Route Type 2 is advertised with both MAC VRF and IP VRF router targets, and with VPN labels for both MAC-VRF and IP-VRF. Particularly, the VRF route targets and Layer 3 VPN label are associated with Route Type 2 to achieve PE-PE IP routing identical to traditional L3VPNs. A remote EVPN PE installs IP/32 entries directly in Layer 3 VRF table through the advertising EVPN PE next-hop with the Layer 3 VPN label encapsulation, much like a Layer 3 VPN imposition PE. This approach avoids the need to install separate adjacency rewrites for each remote host in a stretched subnet. Instead, it inherits a key Layer 3 VPN scale benefit of being able to share a common forwarding rewrite or load-balance resource across all IP host entries reachable through a set of EVPN PEs.

ARP and MAC sync

For hosts that are connected through LAG to more that one EVPN PE, the local host ARP and MAC entries are learnt in data plane on either or both of the multihoming EVPN PEs. Local ARP and MAC entries are synced across the two multihoming EVPN PEs using MAC and IP Route Type 2 based on a shared ESI to enable local switching through both the multihoming EVPN PEs. Essentially, a MAC and IP Route Type 2 that is received with a local ESI causes the installation of a synced MAC entry that points to the local AC port, and a synced ARP entry that is installed on the local BVI interface.

Note

Only one Ethernet Flow Point (EFP) is supported per non-Zero ESI per bridge domain or EVI. This is a limitation of EVPN.

MAC and IP Route Re-origination

MAC and IP Route Type 2 received with a local ESI, which is used to sync MAC and ARP entries, is also re-originated from the router that installs a SYNC entry, if the host is not locally learnt and advertised based on local learning. This route re-origination is required to establish overlay IP ECMP paths on remote EVPN PEs, and to minimize traffic hit on local AC link failures, that can result in MAC and IP route withdraw in the overlay.

Intra-subnet Unicast Data Plane

The Layer 2 traffic is bridged on the source EVPN PE using ECMP paths to remote EVPN PEs, established through MAC+IP RT2, for every ES and for every EVI, ES and EAD Route Type 2 routes that are advertised from the local EVPN PEs.

Inter-subnet Unicast Data Plane

Inter-subnet traffic is routed on the source EVPN PEs through overlay ECMP to the destination EVPN PEs next-hops. Data packet are encapsulated with the VPN label advertised from the EVPN PE and tunnel label for the BGP next-hop towards the spine. It is then routed again on the destination EVPN PE using a local ARP adjacency towards the host. IP ECMP on the remote EVPN PEs is established through local and re-originated routes advertised from the local EVPN PEs.

VM Mobility Support

VM mobility is the ability of virtual machines to migrate between one server and another while retaining their existing MAC and IP addresses.

The following are the two key components in EVPN Route Type 2 that enable VM Mobility:

Host MAC advertisement component that is imported into local bridge MAC table, and Layer 2 bridged traffic across the network overlay.
Host IP advertisement component that is imported into the IP routing table in a symmetric IRB design, enables routed traffic across the network overlay.

The above-mentioned components are advertised together in a single MAC + IP host route advertisement. An additional MAC-only route could also be advertised.

The following behaviors of VM are supported. The VM can:

retain existing MAC and acquire a new IP address
retain existing IP address and acquire a new MAC
retain both existing MAC and IP address

Note

IRB solution supports VM mobility with IP+MAC pair. VM mobility move, with new IP to MAC, or new MAC to IP, is not supported.

The entries with producer as L2VPN and NH as remote IP are learnt from the remote peer gateways, which are learnt from BGP, updated to EVPN, and then updated to L2RIB. So these entries are not from local IP-MAC learning.
The entries with producer as L2VPN and NH as local bundle interfaces are synced entries from MH-AA peer gateway.
The entries with producer as LOCAL and NH as local bundle interfaces are dynamically learnt local entries.

EVPN IPv6 Hosts with Mobility

EVPN IPv6 Hosts with Mobility feature enables you to provide EVPN IPv6 service over IPv4-MPLS core network. This feature supports all-active multihoming and virtual machine (VM) or host move.

Service Providers (SPs) use a stable and established core with IPv4-MPLS backbone for providing IPv4 VPN services. The IPv6 VPN Provider Edge Transport over MPLS (IPv6 on Provider Edge Routers [6PE] and IPv6 on VPN Provider Edge Routers [6VPE]) facilitates SPs to offer IPv6 VPN services over IPv4 backbone without an IPv6 core. The provide edge (PE) routers run MP-iBGP to advertise IPv6 reachability and IPv6 label distribution. For 6PE, the labels are allocated per IPv6 prefix learnt from connected customer edge (CE) routers and for 6VPE, the PE router can be configured to allocate labels on a per-prefix or per-CE and per-VRF level.

Mobility Support

In global VRF, mobility is not supported. However, you can move a host from one ES to another ES within the same bridge domain. The host gets a new MAC address and IP address. The host can have multiple IP addresses for the same MAC address.

In non-default VRF, mobility is supported with the following conditions:

Basic MAC move: The IP address and MAC address remains the same. You can move a host from one ES to another ES with the same IP address and MAC address.
Same MAC address but with a different IP address: The host gets a new IP address
Same IP address but with a different MAC address: The host gets a new MAC address but retains the same IP address
Multiple IP addresses with the same MAC address: Many VMs are involved in the same the MAC move

Restrictions

In customer VRFs, when host routing is not configured, MAC-IP advertisement is different between zero ESI and none-zero ESI. When host routing is not configured, MAC-IP with non-zero ESI is advertised without L3 RT (VRF RT). MAC-IP with zero ESI is not advertised. The following table lists the behavior of MAC-IP advertisement with respect to ESI and host routing.


ESI Type	With host routing	Without host routing
MAC-IP with non-zero ESI	Advertised with L3 VRF RT	Advertised without L3 VRF RT
MAC-IP with zero ESI	Advertised with L3 VRF RT	Not advertised

In global VRF, Layer 2 stretch is not supported.
MAC move in global VRF is only supported if the host is within the same bridge domain. You can move a host from one ES to another ES within the same bridge domain.
Duplication of IP address detection is not supported.
Maximum number of leafs allowed per ESI is two.

Configure EVPN IPv6 Hosts with Mobility

Perform the following tasks to configure EVPN IPv6 Hosts with Mobility feature:

Configure VRF
Configure ISIS
Configure BGP
Configure AC interface
Configure BVI interface
Configure EVPN

Configure L2VPN

Note

You cannot configure the EVPN remote peer using the VPNv4 unicast if you have configured the advertise vpnv4 unicast re-originated command under the L2VPN EVPN address-family. You can either configure the VPNv4 unicast or the advertise vpnv4 unicast re-originated under L2VPN EVPN address-family.
You cannot configure the EVPN remote peer using the VPNv6 unicast if you have configured the advertise vpnv6 unicast re-originated command under the L2VPN EVPN address-family. You can either configure the VPNv6 unicast or the advertise vpnv6 unicast re-originated under L2VPN EVPN address-family.

EVPN IRB: DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 Relay

EVPN IRB: DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 Relay feature provides DHCP support for the end users in EVPN multi-homing Active-Active (MH-AA) deployment scenario. This feature enables reduction of traffic flooding, increase in load sharing at VTEP, faster convergence during link and device failures, and simplification of data center automation.

DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 Relay agents relay request packets, coming over the access interface, to external DHCPv4 and DHCPv4 server to request allocation of addresses (/32) and IANA (::/128) for the end user.

DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 Relay profiles are configured on BVI interfaces which relay DHCPv4 or DHCPv4 requests from Layer 2 (L2) attachment circuit (AC) to external DHCP servers for host IPv4 addresses (/32) and IANA (::128) IPv6 addresses.

This feature is compliant with RFC-6607.

Multi-homing Active-Active EVPN Gateways

Multi-homing Active-Active EVPN Gateways are configured with anycast IP address and MAC addresses. ASR 9000 devices have centralized L2//Layer 3 (L3) gateway. Based on native EVPN and MAC learning, IRB uses distributed anycast IP and anycast MAC address. Static clients are configured with anycast gateway address as the default gateway. DHCP client sends DHCP requests for IP addresses with BVI as the gateway. L2 access can be either single homing or multi-homing, Not all access protocols is supported with IRB. There may or may not be L2 stretch between DC centers. Internet gateway is also included for clients to access external network. No EVPN is configured on the Internet gateway.

EVPN IRB Route Distribution

In EVPN IRB DHCPv4 and DHCPv6, DHCP application processes and DHCP packet forwarding are independent of EVPN IRB L2 and L3 routing. There is no subscriber routing information with the stateless DHCP relay. But DHCP clients work similar to static clients in the EVPN core for L2 and L3 bridging and routing. When the relay information option, relay information option vpn, relay information option von-mode cisco and relay information option von-mode rfc commands are configured on the DHCP relay agent, the DHCP relay agent inserts the sub options of DHCP Option 82, such as subnet selection and VPN ID options. These options are considered by DHCP server while allocating IP address.

DHCP clients use the L2 AC interface to access EVPN bridge domain and use BVI interface as default gateway. So the clients must get the IP addresses from the DHCP server as in the same subnet of BVI interface.

DHCP Request Forwarding Path

Clients broadcast requests to the access switch with DHAA to EVPN PE routers. The access switch does load balancing. The load balancing configurations in access switch will impact PE in DH-AA and DHCP to send the DHCP requests. The DHCP request reaches the Bridge Domain (BD) BVI interface which is configured with DHCP relay. Because AA PE routers are configured the same IP addresses, BVI IP addresses cannot be used as DHCP relay source IP address.

For DHCPv4, configuring GIADDR field for each DHCP relay profile is allowed. Loopback interface with unique IP addresses can be configured in VRF which is reachable to DHCP servers. Configuring DHCP relay source address is not supported.

In case of DHCPv6 servers, DHCPv6 relay picks up an available Loopback interface IPv6 address as DHCPv6 relay source IP address. After the DHCP clients get the IP address. DHCP clients are not normally routable to DHCP servers. DHCP clients send unicast DHCP renew messages to the DHCP server. If the DHCP servers are not routable, the DHCP unicast messages fail, then the DHCP client sends broadcast rebinding messages with the corrsponding DHCP relay.

In the below figure, DHCP clients are configured on PE11 and PE12.

Duplicate IP Address Detection

The Duplicate IP Address Detection feature automatically detects any host with a duplicate IP address and blocks all MAC-IP routes that have a duplicate IP address.

This protects the network from hosts that are assigned duplicate IP addresses unintentionally or by malicious intent in an EVPN fabric. Hosts with duplicate IP address cause unnecessary churn in a network and causes traffic loss to either or both the hosts with the same IP address.

The system handles mobility of EVPN hosts by keeping track of MAC and IP addresses as they move from one host to another. If two hosts are assigned the same IP address, the IOS XR system keeps learning and re-learning MAC-IP routes from both the hosts. Each time it learns the MAC-IP route from one host, it is counted as one move since the newly learnt route supersedes the route previously learnt from the other host. This continues back and forth until the IP address is marked as duplicate based on the configured parameters.

It uses the following parameters to determine when an IP address should be marked as duplicate, and frozen or unfrozen as it moves between different hosts. The configurable parameters are:

move-interval: The period within which a MAC or IP address has to move certain number of times between different hosts to be considered as duplicate and frozen temporarily. This number is specified in the move-count parameter.
move-count: The number of times a MAC or IP address has to move within the interval specified for the move-interval parameter between different hosts to be considered a duplicate.
freeze-time: The length of time a MAC or IP address is locked after it has been detected as a duplicate. After this period, the IP address is unlocked and it is allowed to learn again.
retry-count: The number of times a MAC or IP address is unlocked after it has been detected as a duplicate before it is frozen permanently.

The system maintains a count of the number of times an IP address has been moved from one host to another host, either to another local host or to a host behind a remote Top of Rack (TOR). If an IP address moves certain number of times specified in the move-count parameter within the interval specified in the move-interval parameter is considered a duplicate IP address. All MAC-IP routes with that IP address is frozen for the time specified in the freeze-time parameter. A syslog notifies the user that the particular IP address is frozen. While an IP address is frozen, any new MAC-IP routes or updates to existing MAC-IP routes with the frozen IP address are ignored.

After freeze-time has elapsed, the corresponding MAC-IP routes are unfrozen and the value of the move-count is reset to zero. For any unfrozen local MAC-IP routes, an ARP probe and flush are initiated while the remote MAC-IP routes are put in the probe mode. This restarts the duplicate detection process.

The system also maintains the information about the number of times a particular IP address has been frozen and unfrozen. If an IP address is marked as duplicate after it is unfrozen retry-count times, it is frozen permanently until user manually unfreezes it. Use the following commands to manually unfreeze frozen MAC, IPv4 and IPV6 addresses respectively:

clear l2route evpn mac { mac-address} | all [ evi evi] frozen-flag
clear l2route evpn ipv4 { ipv4-address} | all [ evi evi] frozen-flag
clear l2route evpn ipv6 { ipv6-address} | all [ evi evi] frozen-flag

EVPN E-Tree Using RT Constraints

The EVPN E-Tree using RT constraints feature enables you to configure BGP RT import and export policies for an attachment circuit. This feature allows you to define communication between the leaf and root nodes. The provider edge (PE) nodes can receive L2 traffic either from the attachment circuit (AC) of a bridge domain (BD) or from the remote PE node. For a given BD, L2 communication can only happen from root to leaf and leaf to root. This feature does not allow any L2 communication between the ACs of two or more leafs. This feature uses two BGP RTs for every EVI. Associate one RT with root ACs and the other with leaf ACs. For example, there are two distinct sets of RTs, one for root-rt and another for leaf-rt.

This feature provides you with the following benefits by performing filtering of unicast and multicast traffic at the ingress PE nodes:

Achieve efficiency of the BGP MAC routes scale
Reduce the consumption of hardware resources
Utilize the link bandwidth efficiently

Rules for Import and Export Policies under the BGP of EVPN EVI Instances

Root PE exports its ROOT-RT using BGP export policy. It also imports other ROOT-RT from the corresponding root PE for the same EVI. This is necessary where there is more than one root for a particular BD and EVPN EVI. For example, in a multihome active-active scenario or multihome port-active and single-active scenarios.
Root PE imports LEAF-RT using BGP import policy for a EVPN EVI. This enables the root to be aware of all remote L2 MAC addresses through EVPN RT2 advertisement of leaf PE node for a given E-Tree EVI.
Leaf PE exports its LEAF-RT using BGP export policy to let the root to be aware of the reachability of its directly connected L2 endpoints through EVPN RT2 advertisement.
Leaf PE imports ROOT-RT using BGP import policy. It helps the leaf to know about the L2 endpoints which are reachable through the AC of BD under EVPN EVI instance of root PE. You must not import LEAF-RT using BGP Import policy to avoid L2 Communication between two leaf PEs.
Use split-horizon filtering to block traffic among leaf ACs on a BD for a given E-Tree EVI.

The BGP import and export policies applies to all EVPN RTs along with the RT2 advertisement.

MAC Address Learning

L2 MAC addresses are learnt on AC of a particular BD on leaf PE as type LOCAL. The same MAC address is advertised to root PE as EVPN RT2. On the remote root PE, the MAC table replicates the entry of MAC address with the learn type as L2VPN. Also, it associates the MPLS label of its BGP peer, which advertises RT2 to root PE node.
L2 MAC addresses are learnt on AC of a particular BD on the root as type LOCAL. The same MAC address is advertised to peer root (except for MH A/A) or leaf PE as EVPN RT2. On the remote root PE or leaf PE, the MAC table replicates the entry of MAC address with the learn type as L2VPN. Also, it associates the MPLS label of its BGP peer, which advertises RT2 to PE node.
L2 MAC addresses are learnt on AC of a particular BD on the root as type LOCAL. The same MAC address is advertised to peer root for MH A/A as EVPN RT2. The MAC table of the peer root node synchronizes the replicated entry of MAC address with the learn type as L2VPN for same the ESI and with the same AC as the next hop. This avoids flooding and duplication of known unicast traffic.

The following scenario describes the feature topology:

CE with Multihoming Active-Active and CE with Multihoming Active-Active

Consider a topology where you connect CE-02 and CE-03 to PE-01 and PE-02. Both the CEs are in multihoming active-active mode. Connect CE-02 to PE-01 and PE-02 using AC BE-800.305. Connect CE-03 to PE-01 and PE-02 using AC BE-820.305. Connect CE-06 and CE-07 to PE-03 and PE-04. Connect CE-06 to PE-03 and PE-04 using AC BE-700.305. Connect CE-07 to PE-03 and PE-04 using AC BE-720.305. Associate the bridge domain BD-305 with other AC on the respective PEs along with EVI-305 instance. Configure the respective RT on root and leaf with its import and export RTs for EVI-305. Configure PE-01 and PE-02 as root. Configure PE-03 and PE-04 as leaf.

Configuration

Perform the following tasks on PE-01, PE-02, PE-03, and PE-04.

Configure bridge domain
Configure attachment circuit
Configure EVPN EVI
Configure bundle Ethernet
Configure EVPN interface

Note

Use the etree rt-leaf command only if the leaf sites are in the EVPN all-active multihoming mode and not required for EVPN single homing mode.

The following output shows how the multihoming PE is aware of its local L2 MAC addresses as well as the MAC addresses learnt on the root node only. Leaf multihoming PE is not aware of any other MAC addresses learnt on other leaf PE nodes except if they are learnt on a multihoming active-active ethernet-segment on the peer leaf PE.
