OS10 supports VXLAN provisioning using an Open vSwitch Database (OVSDB) controller. Currently, the only supported OVSDB
controller is the VMware NSX controller. In a controller-provisioned
VXLAN, the controller manages VXLAN-related configurations
and other control-plane operations, such as MAC address propagation.
NOTE Controller-provisioned
VXLAN is not supported on S3048-ON switches. Also, controller-provisioned VXLAN is not supported on VTEPs configured as peers in a VLT domain. Only VTEPs in standalone mode are supported.
Controller-provisioned VXLAN
The NSX controller communicates with an OS10 VTEP
using the OVSDB management protocol over a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
connection. Establishing the communication between the controller
and VTEP involves generating the SSL certificate at a VTEP and copying
the certificate to the NSX controller. After SSL authentication, a
secure connection over SSL is established between the controller and
the VTEP. The VTEP then receives and processes the configuration data
from the controller.

Local access ports in a virtual
network
An OS10 VTEP sends the addition or deletion of server MAC addresses
at the VXLAN access port to the NSX controller
using the OVSDB protocol. The controller then propagates the information
to VTEP peers. The VTEPs program their forwarding tables
accordingly.
