VLAN Inside VXLAN

In this version, VLANs can be assigned to VXLAN interfaces.

In a data center network where VXLAN is used to create a L2 overlay network and for multi-tenant environment, a customer VLAN tag needs to be kept on VXLAN tunnel. This version introduces a solution where the VLAN tag can be assigned to VXLAN interface.

You can only use CLI to configure this feature. See the following example.

To configure VLAN inside VXLAN:

1. Configure VXLAN.

   config system vxlan
      edit vxlan1
         set interface port1
         set vni 1000
         set remote-ip 172.16.200.3
      next
   end

2. Configure system interface.

   config system interface
      edit vlan100
        set vdom root
        set vlanid 100
        set interface dmz
      next
      edit vxlan100
        set type vlan
        set vlanid 100
        set vdom root
        set interface vxlan1
      next
   end

3. Configure software-switch.

   config system switch-interface
     edit sw1
       set vdom root
       set member vlan100 vxlan100
     next
   end
