VXLAN support for admin partitions

In a partitioned Citrix ADC appliance, similar to configuring a VLAN, you can configure a VXLAN in the default partition. After configuring a VXLAN, you can bind it to an administrative partition or if a VXLAN is extending a VLAN that is bound to a partition, the appliance binds the VXLAN to the partition under the same broadcasting domain. This is applicable in unbinding a VLAN that unbinds a VXLAN from the partition.

For more information about how VXLAN works in a Citrix ADC appliance, see VXLAN.

Also, for more information on how VLAN works in a partitioned Citrix ADC appliance, see Admin Partitioning.

Points to remember before configuring a VXLAN

Remember the following points before you configure a VXLAN in a partitioned Citrix ADC appliance:

When you extend a VLAN over VXLAN, make sure VLAN is bound to the partition.
Only a partition administrator must configure the IP and dynamic routing for the VXAN in the administrative partition.

A shared VXLAN is not supported in a partitioned appliance and so a VXLAN cannot be tagged to a shared VLAN or you cannot make a VLAN a shared one when it is tagged to a VXLAN.

Supportable VXLAN configurations

Following are the supportable VXLAN configurations.

Case 1: Extending VLAN over a VXLAN in the same broadcast domain**

Follow the steps given below to extend a VLAN over a VXLAN and vice versa within the same broadcast domain:

Add a VLAN in the default partition

At the command prompt, type:

Add vlan <id>

Extend VLAN over a VXLAN within the same broadcast domain.

At the command prompt, type:

Add vxlan <vxlan id> –vlan <id>

Configure a peer vtep to carry all BUM (broadcast unknown multicast) traffic.

Note

The vtep address can be a multicast address.

At the command prompt, type:

add bridgetable -mac <mac_addr> -vxlan <positive_integer> -vtep <ip_addr> [-vni <positive_integer>][-deviceVlan <positive_integer>]

Bind IP addresses to VXLAN.

At the command prompt, type:

Bind vxlan <id> [-srcIP <ip_addr>][-IPAddress <ip_addr|ipv6_addr|*> [<netmask>]]

Bind VLAN to an administrative partition.

At the command prompt, type:

    Bind partition <partition-id> -vxlan <id>

    Add vlan 3000
    Add vxlan 3000 –vlan 10
    Add bridgetable –mac 00:00:00:00:00:00 –vxlan 3000 -vtep 10.102.58.8 –vni 11
    Bind vxlan 3000 – srcIP 10.102.101.15
    Bind partition p1 –vlan 10
