Learn, configure, and Troubleshoot Cumulus Linux, VXLAN encapsulation, EVPN control plane for VXLAN

What you'll learn

Configuring Cumulus Linux switches using NCLU

Understand VXLAN encapsulation

Understanding of EVPN control plane for the VXLAN

Different types of EVPN routes and when they are used

Troubleshooting of VXLAN EVPN Network

Requirements

Basic understanding of switching and routing

Description

The Cumulus Linux Fundamentals to Advance VXLAN EVPN is a modular course, you can virtually start from anywhere provided you have a knowledge of previous topics in the course. The course will walk form the basic configuration of network device running the Cumulus Linux to advanced VXLAN EVPN topics.

The advanced theoretical VXLAN EVPN control plane lectures are vendor independent and such knowledge will be helpful to configure and troubleshoot VXLAN EVPN implementation of any vendor.

This course also walk the students to practical part MP-BGP EVPN control implementation for VXLAN encapsulation. Students will be using the virtual Cumulus devices. Upon completion of this lab, users will able to

Configure and understand the the Cumulus Linux

Manually configure eBGP in a standard Spine-Leaf topology for VTEP reachability information

Manually configure VXLAN BGP EVPN in a standard Spine-Leaf topology

Use command line interface to verify VXLAN and BGP EVPN operation

Troubleshooting VXLAN and EVPN control plane on any vendor
