Configuring Cisco DNA Service for Bonjour over EVPN VXLAN Layer 3 Overlay Networks

Prerequisites for Cisco DNA Service for Bonjour over EVPN VXLAN Layer 3 Overlay Networks

This section provides the list of prerequisites for a Cisco Catalyst leaf switch that needs to be deployed in SDG Agent mode.:

  • Ensure that you successfully configure and operate the BGP EVPN VXLAN overlay networks on the Cisco Catalyst devices before you configure Cisco Local Area and Wide Area Bonjour for LAN and WLAN networks.

  • Verify that the targeted leaf switch is supported in SDG Agent and the Layer 2 access switch is supported in Service-Peer mode. See Supported Platforms for more information.

  • Verify that the targeted SDG Agent leaf switch, Service-Peer switch and Service-Peer wireless controller (WLC) run on the minimum required Cisco IOS XE software version.

  • Ensure that the SDG Agent leaf switch, Service-Peer switch, and Service-Peer WLC run on a valid Cisco DNA Advantage license.

  • In a multilayer network with Layer 2 unicast service-routing between an SDG Agent leaf switch in distribution layer and Service-Peer, ensure that the connection is through a Layer 2 trunk in static mode.

  • Ensure that the Cisco DNA Center has IP connectivity with the SDG Agent leaf switch in either the underlay or overlay network.

  • Ensure that the SDG Agent leaf switch has IP connectivity with the Service-Peer switch and Service-Peer WLC in the same IPv4 subnet when the traffic is globally routed through the management VLAN.

  • Verify that wireless AP multicast is configured in the underlay network and Cisco Wireless APs have successfully joined the AP multicast group announced by the WLC.


Note

The leaf switch can also enable unicast-based service-routing with a downstream Layer 2 access switch and Catalyst 9800 Series WLC.

Restrictions for Wide Area Bonjour over EVPN VXLAN Layer 3 Overlay Networks

  • Only Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Layer 2 Ethernet switches that are connected to a distribution layer leaf switch can be deployed in Service-Peer mode. No other classic Cisco Catalyst LAN switches are supported in Service-Peer mode.

  • Cisco Embedded WLC is not supported on Cisco Catalyst Series switches.

  • Multicast DNS (mDNS) Trust port is not supported on the Layer 2 port channel interface of Cisco Catalyst Series switches.

  • Local-area service-routing is not supported on the management port of Cisco Catalyst Series switches.

Information About Cisco DNA Service for Bonjour over EVPN VXLAN Layer 3 Overlay Networks

Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series leaf switches or VTEPs introduce hierarchical service-routing for standard-based BGP EVPN VXLAN overlay networks. Leaf switches can function as Service Discovery Gateway Agents (SDG-Agents) to enable mDNS service-routing for Layer 3 and Layer 2 overlay networks. The enhanced gateway function (at the first hop of wired and wireless networks) communicates with directly associated, industry-standard, RFC 6762-compliant multicast DNS (mDNS) end points in Layer 2 unicast mode. Communication in unicast mode eliminates Layer 2 mDNS traffic flooding and enables service discovery across Layer 3 networks for large scale and enterprise-grade LAN and WLAN overlay networks. By doing this, unicast mode enhances security, bandwidth, scale, and performance for underlay and overlay fabric networks.

The following image illustrates a BGP EVPN VXLAN fabric that supports service-routing for wired and wireless user endpoints over Layer 3 overlay networks:

Figure 1. Cisco Wide Area Bonjour over BGP EVPN VXLAN Layer 3 Overlay Networks

A leaf switch in enterprise campus access or distribution layer can perform Wide Area Bonjour service-routing. Service-routing allows the leaf switch to establish stateful and reliable communication with a centralized Cisco DNA Center in the underlay network. The leaf can also discover and distribute policy-based services. Service data communication between mDNS sources and receivers over an EVPN VXLAN network uses segmented Layer 3 overlay forwarding topologies. A leaf switch can extend unicast-based service-routing through a downstream Layer 2 access device to build a Local Area Bonjour domain for the VXLAN fabric. The domain allows end-to-end, unicast-based service-routing for EVPN VXLAN Layer 3 overlay networks. The downstream Layer 2 access device in the fabric can be one of:

  • A Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Ethernet switch

  • A Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series WLC

Understanding Wide Area Bonjour over EVPN VXLAN Layer 3 Overlay Networks

A BGP EVPN Layer 3 leaf switch provides an IP gateway to a Layer 3-segmented, VRF-enabled interface to attach wired and wireless endpoints locally. Each BGP EVPN leaf switch in an access or distribution layer network provides a demarcation point to the broadcast boundary of its local Layer 2 network. This demarcation prevents mDNS service discovery and distribution beyond the leaf switch in the access or distribution layer network.

Cisco Wide Area Bonjour for BGP EVPN overlay networks enables unicast-based mDNS service discovery and distribution beyond the boundary of the single IP network. A network-wide distributed BGP EVPN leaf switch in an access or distribution layer network builds stateful and reliable communication with a Cisco DNA Center. This link enables policy- and location-based mDNS service-routing between the leaf switches for Layer 3 overlay networks.

The BGP EVPN fabric boundary can be initiated from the access or distribution layer network depending on network design. The following figure provides two deployment alternatives to determine the handling of mDNS communication with downstream Layer 2 switches or WLCs and upstream fabric networks:

  • Leaf Access and Distribution: The LAN access in Layer 3 mode provides the Layer 2–Layer 3 boundary to enable mDNS service-routing over the EVPN fabric network. The leaf switch in distribution layer can connect to a downstream Layer 2 WLC in Service-Peer mode and enable Unicast-based service-routing.

  • Leaf Distribution: The LAN and Wireless distribution layer provides the Layer 2–Layer 3 boundary to enable mDNS service-routing over the EVPN fabric network. The leaf switch in Distribution layer can connect to a downstream Layer 2 LAN access switch and WLC in Service-Peer mode and enable Unicast-based service-routing.

Figure 2. Wide Area Bonjour for Wired and Wireless BGP EVPN Layer 3 Overlay Networks

mDNS service-routing for EVPN VXLAN Layer 3 overlay networks supports dynamic service discovery from a local network and performs service-routing with a centralized Cisco DNA-Center. The mDNS service-routing functions in the following ways with Bonjour domains:

  • Local Area Bonjour Domain: A BGP EVPN Layer 3 leaf switch discovers and distributes mDNS services dynamically. The leaf switch distributes the mDNS services to directly or indirectly attached wired and wireless endpoints in a Layer 2 network. The leaf switch in distribution layer can establish unicast-based service-routing with a downstream Layer 2 access device to improve scale, performance, and location-based service capabilities. The downstream Layer 2 access device can be either a Cisco Catalyst Series switch or a Cisco 9800 Series WLC.

    SeeConfiguring Local Area Bonjour Unicast Mode for Wired and Wireless Local Mode Networks for detailed configuration steps.

  • Wide Area Bonjour Domain: A BGP EVPN Layer 3 leaf switch and Wide Area Bonjour application in a Cisco DNA Center work together to build secure service-routing and peering. The link-up enables policy-based and location-based mDNS service-routing across Layer 3 overlay networks. The Layer 3 overlay network allows the exchange of VXLAN data only between the leaf switch and the Cisco DNA Center. The endpoints of mDNS service providers and receivers do not forward VXLAN data between themselves.

    See Configuring Wide Area Bonjour for BGP EVPN VXLAN Layer 3 Overlay Network for detailed configuration steps for Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series switches.

    See Cisco Wide Area Bonjour Application on Cisco DNA Center User Configuration Guide, 2.1.2 Release for more information about how to configure Cisco DNA Center.

How to Configure Cisco DNA Service for Bonjour over EVPN VXLAN Layer 3 Overlay Networks

This section shows how to configure Local and Wide Area Bonjour over Layer 3 overlay networks.

Configuring Local Area Bonjour in Unicast Mode over EVPN VXLAN Layer 3 Overlay Networks

Local Area Bonjour enables unicast-based mDNS service-routing function between the service provider and receiver within the local Layer 2 network boundary. The leaf switch can be directly or indirectly attached to one of:

  • Wired endpoint using an intermediate Layer 2 access switch

  • Wireless endpoint using a Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series WLC

Figure 3. Local Area Bonjour Unicast Mode for Wired and Wireless Local Mode Networks

Service-routing for Local Area Bonjour enables unicast-based mDNS service discovery and distribution in the access layer through the BGP EVPN leaf switch. In the distribution layer, service-routing achieves this with multiple downstream Layer 2 Ethernet switches or Cisco WLCs in Service-Peer mode. To configure Local Area Bonjour in unicast mode over an EVPN VXLAN Layer 3 overlay network for the deployment shown above, perform the following operations:

  • (Optional) Configure the Layer 2 access switch in Service-Peer mode to enable the first hop mDNS gateway that directly connects it to mDNS wired and wireless endpoints.

  • (Optional) Configure the Cisco Catalyst 9800 series WLC in Service-Peer mode to enable the first hop mDNS gateway that directly connects it to mDNS wired and wireless endpoints.

  • Configure the Layer 3 BGP EVPN access leaf switch as an SDG agent.

  • Configure the Layer 3 BGP EVPN distribution leaf switch as an SDG agent.


Note

Ensure that you BGP EVPN VXLAN before you enable an mDNS gateway on a VLAN mapped to a Layer 3 overlay network. For detailed information and configuration steps, see BGP EVPN VXLAN Configuration Guide for the applicable release.

Configuring Wide Area Bonjour over EVPN VXLAN Layer 3 Overlay Networks

To configure Wide Area Bonjour and connect with wired or wireless endpoints across the IP network boundary, enable unicast-mode service-routing on:

  • the Layer 3 access leaf switch SDG agent

  • the WLC distribution leaf switch SDG agent

Once you configure both SDG agents, you enable service-routing peering with Cisco DNA Center Wide Area Bonjour application that supports BGP EVPN VXLAN. Once you enable service-routing, global discovery and distribution is enabled and the Layer 3 leaf switch communicates with Cisco DNA Center to perform service-discovery beyond its boundary. mDNS services can be discovered and distributed among the endpoints in the same or in different Layer 3 overlay networks.

For detailed steps about how to configure Wide Area Bonjour service-routing and service policies on a Cisco DNA Center, see Wide Area Bonjour Configuration Guidelines in Cisco Wide Area Bonjour Application on Cisco DNA Center User Configuration Guide, 2.1.2 Release.


Note

We recommend that you use the Loopback interface to establish service-routing between the leaf switches and Cisco DNA Center in the underlay network.

Verifying Cisco DNA Center Configuration and Service-Routing Status

The Cisco Wide Area Bonjour application supports multilevel assurance capabilities for day-to-day operations. The service routing, instance monitoring, management, and troubleshooting in the Cisco Wide Area Bonjour application are divided into three major categories. Each category serves a unique function to manage and troubleshoot Wide Area Bonjour service routing for day-2 operation. The Monitor function comprises the following categories:

  • Dashboard: The landing page of Cisco Wide Area Bonjour application provides an overview of key statistics in multiple formats. It allows you to quickly determine the service-routing health across the network. The network administrator can monitor the operational status of service-routing using:

  • Sub-Domain 360°: Network administrators can collect statistics and status counts in the 360° view. The left-panel monitoring and configuration bar opens automatically upon clicking a subdomain. You can verify configured policies and discovered service instances on a per-subdomain basis of the Configuration section.

  • Monitor: A comprehensive three-tier monitoring and troubleshooting function of the Cisco Wide Area Bonjour application for various day-2 operations. Network administrators use the detail view of the SDG Agent, service instance, and advanced troubleshooting capabilities to manage and troubleshoot the Wide Area Bonjour domain with a single pane of glass in Cisco DNA Center.

For detailed information about assurance capabilities and monitoring of operation details, see Monitor the Cisco Wide Area Bonjour Application module of Cisco Wide Area Bonjour on Cisco DNA Center User Guide, Release 2.1.2.
