Configuring spine switches

Configure the spine switches as part of adding a VLAN to a leaf-spine network.

1. From the Cisco NX-OS switch CLI, enter the following for global configurations:

   feature ospf
   feature bgp
   feature lldp
   feature fabric forwarding
   feature nv overlay
   nv overlay evpn
   feature nxapi

2. Enter the following for QoS settings for fabric peer link:

   qos copy policy-map type queuing default-8q-out-policy prefix my
   
   class-map type qos match-all DSCP56
     match dscp 56
   policy-map type qos DSCP56
     class DSCP56
       set qos-group 7
   
   policy-map type queuing my8q-out
     class type queuing c-out-8q-q7
       priority level 1
   

3. Enter the following for the interface configurations:

   interface Ethernet<slot>/<port> 
   mtu 9216
   medium p2p
   ip unnumbered loopback0
   no ip redirects
   no shutdown
   
   
   interface mgmt0
   vrf member management
   ip address <ip address>/<subnet mask> 
   interface loopback <loopback number> 
   

   For 100 GB networks, enter the following for interface configurations:

   interface Ethernet<slot>/<port>
   mtu 9216
   medium p2p
   ip unnumbered loopback0
   no ip redirects
   service-policy type qos input DSCP56
   service-policy type queuing output cfs-traffic
   no shutdown
   
   interface mgmt0
   vrf member management
   ip address <ip address>/<subnetmask>
   interface loopback <loopback number>
   ip address <ip address><subnetmask>
   

4. Enter the following to configure the OSPF underlay:

   router ospf <process id>
   router-id  <router-id>
   bfd
   interface Ethernet<slot>/<port>
   ip ospf network point-to-point
   ip router ospf <process id>  area <area-id>
   no shutdown

5. Enter the following to configure the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP):

   router bgp <as-number>
   router-id <router-id>
   address-family ipv4 unicast
   address-family l2vpn evpn
   neighbor <neighbor-ip address>
   bfd
   remote-as < neighbor as-number>
   update-source loopback <loopback-number>
   address-family ipv4 unicast
   address-family l2vpn evpn
   send-community
   send-community extended
   route-reflector-client
   

6. Enter the following to configure the MP-BGP EVPN:

   router bgp <as-number>
   address-family l2vpn evpn
   neighbor <neighbor-ip address>
   bfd  
   remote-as <neighbor as-number>
   address-family l2vpn evpn
   send-community extended
   route-reflector-client

7. To enable NXAPI, type:
   switch#conf t
   switch(config)# feature nxapi
   switch(config)#nxapi http port 80
