Configuring EVB

Overview

Edge VirtualBridging (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.

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 policing, 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—Apoint-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). AVSI 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 a subinterface of an S-channel.

•Reflective Relay—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

The following basic concepts describe EVB station and EVB bridge communication:

•S-channel Discovery and Configuration Protocol—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.

•VSI Discovery and Configuration Protocol—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 contains the VSIID, VSI type, and VSI version. The bridge uses

the VSI interfaces to manage traffic for VMs.

•VSI manager—A VSI manager stores network policies such as VSI traffic management and

deploys the policies when a VM accesses the network.

{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, and 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, and the VSI manager notifies the bridge to

delete the VSI interface.

An EVB station and an EVB bridge perform the following steps to manage VM traffic:

1. Use CDCP to establish an S-channel.

2. Exchange EVB TLVs through LLDP to negotiate EVB capabilities such as RR, ECP parameters,

and VDP parameters for the S-channel.

3. Use VDP to associate the VSIs of VMs with the bridge port.

Protocols and standards

and Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks - Amendment XX: Edge Virtual Bridging

Feature and hardware compatibility

EVB is applicable only to interfaces on the following modules:

•EC interface modules.

•SE interface modules:

{LSU1CGC2SE0.

{LSUM2GP24TSSE0.

{LSUM2GP44TSSE0.

{LSUM2GT24PTSSE0.

{LSUM2GT24TSSE0.

{LSUM2GT48SE0.

{LSUM2GV48SE0.

•SF interface modules.

•SG interface modules.

Traffic received from an EVB-enabled interface can be forwarded only through interface modules

that support EVB.

Licensing requirements

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

Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
