|
Layer 3 gateway location
|
Layer 3 gateway is deployed at Spine
|
Layer 3 gateway is deployed at Leaf
|
Layer 2 gateway location
|
Layer 2 gateway is deployed at Leaf
|
Layer 2 gateway is deployed at Leaf
|
Traffic forwarding rules
|
Layer 3 traffic under the same -Leaf needs to detour the Spine
|
Layer 3 traffic under the same -Leaf does not need to detour the Spine
|
Table item storage rule
|
The Spine needs to store the MAC and ARP of the entire network
|
The Spine does not need to store the MAC and ARP of the entire network
|
Control Plane
|
Static or EVPN
|
EVPN
|
Operation and Management (O&M)
|
Simple, because the gateway is at Spine
|
Complex, because the gateway is at Leaf
|
Applicable Data center scale
|
Suitable for small scale networking
|
Suitable for medium and large scale networking
|
Static mode
|
IS-IS mode
|
EVPN mode
|
Controller mode
|
|
Tunnel Construction method
|
Adopts a static configuration approach
|
ENDP(Enhanced Neighbor Discovery Protocol) must be configured on VTEPs to discover VTEPs and establish tunnels
|
The extended BGP attribute enables neighbor discovery, automatically discovers VTEPs in VXLAN networks, and automatically creates VXLAN tunnels between VTEPs
|
Controller
System-controller
|
Tunnel establishment method between VTEPs
|
Adopts a static configuration approach
|
IS-IS protocol extension mode
|
VXLAN tunnels are automatically established through BGP extended attribute associations
|
Controller
System-controller
|
Address learning
|
Learns MAC address flooding
|
IS-IS protocol is implemented to learn remote addresses
|
Implementation of extended MP-BGP protocol
|
First packet reported,
The forwarding table item is issued by the Controller
|
Standardization
|
No control plane
|
Private protocol, extend IS-IS packets
|
The control protocol of EVPN has been standardized, see RFC 7348RFC7209, RFC7432
|
VTEP and Controller are based on the standard protocol framework Netconf/0penFlow, but each manufacturer has its own private definition, so they are not compatible
