Configuring NSX-based VxLAN on VLT Peer Devices

To connect to an NVP controller in a VLT setup, use the following commands.

  1. Enable the VxLAN feature.
    CONFIGURATION mode
    feature vxlan
  2. Create a VxLAN instance that connects to the controller.
    CONFIGURATION mode
    vxlan-instance instance ID nsx
    NSX is the default value.
  3. Define how the device connects to the controller.
    VxLAN INSTANCE mode
    controller controller-ID ip address port port-number TCP | SSL
    The port number range is from 1 to 6632. The default connection type is SSL.
  4. Enter the VxLAN gateway IP adress.
    VxLAN INSTANCE mode
    gateway-ip gateway-IP-address
  5. Enter the IP address of the peer OVSDB server.
    peer-ovsdbserver-ip ovsdb-IP-address
    The peer OVSDB server is the peer VLT device.
  6. Enter the fail mode.
    VxLAN INSTANCE mode
    fail-mode secure
  7. Enable the VxLAN instance.
    VxLAN INSTANCE mode
    no shutdown
NOTE Dell EMC Networking recommends the non-secure fail mode if you are configuring VxLAN for a VLT setup and use a physical L3 link for peer OVSDB connectivity. Also using of controller connected IP address for peer OVSDB connectivity leads to double failure, when connected link fails..
