Configuring EVB

Overview

Edge Virtual Bridging (EVB) allows virtual machines (VMs) on a physical server to obtain bridge relay

services through a common bridge port. It enables coordinated configuration and management of

bridge services for VMs.

EVB requires a license to run on your device. For information about obtaining a license, see

Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Data center virtualization includes network virtualization, storage virtualization, and server virtualization.

Server virtualization uses specific virtualization software such as VMware to create VMs on a single

physical server. Each VM operates independently and has its own operating system, applications, and

virtual hardware environments as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Server virtualization

VMs on a physical server communicate with each other or with the outside network through a Virtual

Ethernet Bridge (VEB). VEBs are implemented through software or hardware such as NICs. Both

implementation methods have the following limitations:

•Lack of traffic monitoring capabilities such as packets statistics, traffic mirroring, and NetStream.

•Lack of network policy enforcement capabilities, such as QoS.

•Lack of management scalability, especially in unified deployment of the internal server network and

the external network.

EVB solves these limitations. It uses a physical switch (called EVB bridge) to switch traffic for VMs on a

directly connected physical server (called EVB station). EVB implements traffic monitoring, network policy

enforcement, and unified network deployment and management for VMs.

Basic concepts

Figure 2 shows the components on the EVB station and EVB bridge.

Figure 2 EVB architecture

•Edge Relay—An ER transfers packets between one URP and one or more DRPs. An ER has one or

more DRPs and one URP. Both URP and DRPs are called ER ports. An EVB station can have multiple

ERs.

•S-channel—A point-to-point S-VLAN established between a Port-mapping S-VLAN component in

an EVB station and a Port-mapping S-VLAN component in an EVB bridge. An S-channel

corresponds to the URP of an ER. On an EVB bridge, the end point of an S-channel is known as an

S-channel interface. An S-channel is identified by the S-VLAN Identifier (SVID) and the S-channel

Identifier (SCID), and the two values together are called an (SCID, SVID) pair.

•Virtual Station Interface—A VSI is a port on a VM that directly connects to the DRP of an ER. A VSI

is associated with a logical entity called VSI instance, which is identified by the VSI Instance

Identifier (VSIID). A VSI is associated with a virtual interface called VSI interface on the EVB bridge

port to implement VM traffic management and policy configuration. A VSI interface can be

considered as a subinterface of an S-channel.

•Reflective Relay—A RR is an operation mode in which a received frame on a port that supports this

function can be forwarded out of the same port. The EVB bridge uses this mode to forward traffic

among VMs on an EVB station, as shown in Figure 2.

EVB working mechanism

An EVB station and an EVB bridge go through the following steps to implement VM traffic management:

1. Use the S-channel Discovery and Configuration Protocol (CDCP) to establish an S-channel.

CDCP is used to configure S-channels between stations and bridges. When a station creates or

deletes an S-channel, CDCP sends a CDCP TLV in an LLDP packet that is addressed using the

Nearest non-TPMR Bridge address to the bridge. The bridge creates or deletes the S-channel.

2. Exchange EVB TLVs through LLDP to negotiate EVB capabilities for the S-channel, such as RR, ECP

parameters, and VDP parameters.

3. Use the VSI Discovery and Configuration Protocol (VDP) to associate the VSIs of VMs with the

bridge port.

The bridge uses the VSI interfaces to manage traffic for VMs.

VDP manages the association between a VSI and a station-facing bridge port (SBP) on a bridge.

VDP uses the Edge Control Protocol (ECP) to carry VDP TLVs. A VDP TLV comprises the VSIID, VSI

type, and VSI version.

When a station creates a VM, it sends a VDP pre-associate, pre-associate with resource

reservation, or associate packet to the bridge. The bridge sends the request to a VSI manager. The

VSI manager notifies the bridge to create a VSI interface and apply policies.

When a station shuts down a VM, it sends a VDP de-associate packet to the bridge. The bridge

sends the request to the VSI manager. The VSI manager notifies the bridge to delete the VSI

interface.

EVB configuration task list

This document only describes EVB bridge configuration. For information about EVB station configuration,

see the station manual.

Tasks at a

lance

Enabling EVB

Configuring LLDP

(Optional.) Specifying a default VSI manager

(Optional.) Configuring VDP negotiation parameters

(Optional.) Configuring an S-channel:

•Creating an S-channel

•Configuring an S-channel interface or S-channel aggregate interface

•Configuring the RR mode for an S-channel

•Configuring MAC address learning for an S-channel

(Optional.) Configuring a VSI interface or VSI aggregate interface:

•Creating a VSI interface or VSI aggregate interface

•Configuring VSI filters

•Activating a VSI interface or VSI aggregate interface

Enabling EVB

Perform this task to enable EVB on an interface that directly connects to a station. After that, you must

configure the interface to operate in trunk mode. Otherwise, EVB does not work because VSI filter

configuration (see "Configuring VSI filters") does not take effect.

After EVB is enabled on an interface, the device cannot perform Layer 3 forwarding to the data received

on the interface.
