| 13914 | 4.3.0 | EVPN Multihoming EVPN multihoming is a replacement mechanism for MLAG in EVPN deployment based on standard protocol (BGP-EVPN). In one customer site, a server can connect to two or more VTEP switches in order for redundancy. Additionally, the peer-link between MLAG spines is not needed in EVPN multihoming site. Please have the details by reference of document EVPN Multihoming Configuration Guide. |
