VXLAN and BGP EVPN Configuration Guide for Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 Release 10.5.2

PDF

Specify the controller reachability information

In OS10 VTEP, the controller configuration command initializes a connection to an OVSDB-based controller.

OS10 supports only one controller connection at a time.

NOTE Currently, the only supported OVSDB-based controller is NSX.
To configure an OVSDB controller on the OS10 VTEP:
  1. Enable VXLAN in CONFIGURATION mode.
    OS10(config)# nve
  2. Changes the mode to CONFIGURATION-NVE-OVSDB from where you can configure the controller parameters.
    OS10(config-nve)# controller ovsdb
  3. Specify the IP address, OVSDB controller port, and SSL as a secure connection protocol between the OS10 VTEP and the controller in CONFIGURATION-NVE-OVSDB mode.
    OS10(config-nve-ovsdb)# ip ip-address port port-number ssl
    The range of port-numberis from 0 to 65535. Configure the port-number as 6640 and the connection type as SSL.
  4. (Optional) Specify a time interval, in milliseconds (ms). This is the duration the switch waits between the connection attempts to the controller.
    OS10(config-nve-ovsdb)# max-backoff interval
    The range is from 1000 to 180,000 ms. The default is 8000 ms.
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# nve
OS10(config-nve)# controller ovsdb
OS10(config-nve-ovsdb)# ip 10.11.66.110 port 6640 ssl
