Configuring EVI

Overview

Ethernet Virtual Interconnect (EVI) is a MAC-in-IP technology that provides Layer 2 connectivity between

distant Layer 2 network sites across an IP routed network. It is used for connecting geographically

dispersed sites of a virtualized large-scale data center that requires Layer 2 adjacency (see Figure 1).

EVI enables long-distance virtual machine workload mobility and data mobility, disaster recovery, and

business continuity. For example, virtual machines can move between data center sites without changing

their IP addresses, so their movements are transparent to users and do not disrupt traffic.

Figure 1 Virtual machine migration

Layer 2 connectivity extension issues

EVI resolves the following Layer 2 connectivity extension issues:

•Site independence—EVI keeps protocol failures, such as broadcast storms, from propagating

across sites.

•Transport independence—EVI has no special requirements for site location or transport network

type, except that the transport network can forward IP packets.

•Link efficiency—EVI optimizes the inter-site multicast and broadcast transmission mechanism and

implements load-sharing on redundant links.

•Site and transport transparency—EVI is both site and transport network transparent. It has no

special site or transport network topology requirements.

•Easy management and maintenance—EVI requires deployment only on edge devices and does not

introduce any topology change or configuration within sites or the transport network.

Network topologies

As shown in Figure 2, an EVI network has one edge device at each site. These sites are connected

through virtual links and run the EVI IS-IS protocol to advertise their MAC address entries to each other.

EVI maintains MAC routing information on the edge devices without changing the forwarding or routing

information within the sites or the transport network.

Figure 2 EVI network

EVI supports multiple EVI networks on an edge device for extending different VLANs across the Layer 3

network. One EVI network can convey multiple VLANs, but one VLAN can map to only one EVI network.

Each EVI network has separate network parameters and independently forwards traffic.

As shown in Figure 3, EVI network 1 extends VLAN 100 and VLAN 101 to Site 2, Site 3, and Site 4 for

Web access traffic. EVI network 2 extends VLAN 4000 (the management VLAN) to all sites, and EVI

network 3 extends VLANs 50 to 80 between Site 1 and Site 4 for database traffic.

Terminology

Edge device

An edge device performs typical Layer 2 learning and forwarding on the site-facing interfaces (internal

interfaces) and performs tunneling and routing on the transport-facing interfaces.

EVI network ID

An edge device can belong to multiple EVI networks. Each EVI network is uniquely identified by a

network ID.

EVI link

An EVI link is a bidirectional virtual Ethernet channel between a pair of edge devices in an EVI network.

EVI links are conveyed on EVI tunnels. Each EVI link is uniquely identified by a pair of source and

destination EVI tunnel IP addresses.

EVI tunnel

An EVI tunnel is a point-to-many automatic GRE tunnel that conveys EVI links for an EVI network. One EVI

tunnel can provide services only for one EVI network.

EVI neighbor

All edge devices in an EVI network are EVI neighbors to one other.

ENDP

EVI Neighbor Discovery Protocol uses the client/server model to dynamically discover sites and edge

devices, establish and maintain EVI links, and exchange network membership information in an EVI

network.

ENDS

An EVI neighbor discovery server maintains all neighbor information in an EVI network. An EVI network

can have up to two ENDSs.

Site 1

Site 2

Site 4

Site 5

EVI 1

VLANs 100-101

EVI 2

VLAN 4000

EVI 3

VLANs 50-80

Site 3

ENDC

An EVI neighbor discovery client works with an ENDS to learn neighbor information and triggers EVI link

setup between neighbors.

EVI IS-IS

EVI IS-IS establishes adjacencies and advertises MAC reachability information among edge devices at

different sites in an EVI network.

EVI IS-IS runs independently of the Layer 3 routing protocols on the transport network and sites.

DED

An inter-site DED is elected from between the edge devices on each EVI link to send CSNP packets for

LSDB synchronization.

Internal interface

Internal interfaces are site-facing Layer 2 interfaces that connect an edge device to switches or routers in

the site.

Working mechanism

An edge device uses the following process to set up an EVI network and forward traffic at Layer 2 to

remote sites:

1. Runs ENDP to discover EVI neighbors and set up EVI links between neighbors.

2. Runs EVI IS-IS to advertise MAC reachability information over EVI links in the EVI network.

3. Forwards traffic based on MAC reachability information that has been received from other sites.

This section describes this process in detail.

Neighbor discovery

An EVI network runs ENDP to discover all its edge devices and establishes adjacencies among the edge

devices in the following process:

1. ENDS is enabled on one edge device, and ENDC is enabled on all other edge devices.

2. The ENDCs register their IP addresses and other data with the ENDS.

3. The ENDS updates its ENDC database with received data and sends the updated database to

each ENDC.

4. After receiving the register reply, the ENDCs establish an EVI link with each other.

For high availability, you can configure up to two ENDSs for an EVI network.

MAC address learning

MAC reachability information on an EVI edge device comes from the following sources:

•MAC entries configured or learned in the data plane—The edge devices use the typical

source-MAC-based learning mechanism to learn unicast MAC addresses in their local sites (called

"local MAC addresses").

•MAC entries learned through EVI IS-IS—After completing neighbor discovery, the edge devices run

EVI IS-IS in the control plane to establish adjacencies and advertise MAC reachability information

that has been learned or configured in the data plane to each other over EVI links.
