Networking Requirements

Figure 1. BGP Unnumbered EVPN Fabric Configuration Example

As shown in Figure 1, this example configures BGP unnumbered on EVPN VTEP devices Switch A and Switch B. An eBGP connection is established between Switch A and Switch B.

In this example, routed interfaces are configured f to be used as BGP unnumbered interfaces for EVPN underlay fabric.

The only difference between a BGP unnumbered configuration and the BGP numbered configuration is that the BGP neighbor is specified as an interface instead of an IP address. The interfaces connecting the two peers do not need to have IP addresses configured on each side.

NOTE:

The ebgp-requires-policy function needs to be disabled in EBGP, no need in IBGP.
