Since the Type-1/EAD (Ethernet Auto Discovery) routes are to be advertised in the following two ways as per RFC 7432:
- Ethernet Auto Discovery per Ethernet Segment (EAD-per-ES) routes
- Ethernet Auto Discovery per EVPN Instance (EAD-per-EVI) routes
Some implementations of EVPN don’t advertise EAD-per-EVI routes so to be compatible with these vendors; we need to manually disable advertisement of EAD-per-EVI routes. To suppress the advertisement of EAD-per-EVI routes, run the command set protocol bgp evpn disable-ead-evi-tx. Optional parameter vrf can be used to identify a specific VRF for this command to take effect on. Another optional parameter is l2vpn to specify that only layer 2 EVPN routes advertisements are affected.
To delete this configuration, run the command delete set protocol bgp evpn disable-ead-evi-tx.
Command Syntax
set protocol bgp [vrf <text>] [l2vpn] evpn disable-ead-evi-tx
delete protocol bgp [vrf <text>] [l2vpn] evpn disable-ead-evi-tx
Parameter
Parameter | Description |
vrf <text> | Optional. Specifies the name of the VRF. |
l2vpn | Optional. Specifies the configuration applies to layer 2 EVPN only. |
Example
- Configure the device to disable layer 2 EVPN advertisement of EAD-per-EVI routes in VRF BLUE.
