set protocol bgp evpn disable-ead-evi-tx

Since the Type-1/EAD (Ethernet Auto Discovery) routes are to be advertised in the following two ways as per RFC 7432:

1. Ethernet Auto Discovery per Ethernet Segment (EAD-per-ES) routes
2. 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

Example

• Configure the device to disable layer 2 EVPN advertisement of EAD-per-EVI routes in VRF BLUE.
