VTEP (VXLAN Tunnel End Point) support (289354)
Native VXLAN is now supported by FortiOS. This feature is configurable from the CLI only:
Syntax
config system vxlan edit <vxlan1> //VXLAN device name (Unique name in system.interface).
set interface //Local outgoing interface. set vni //VXLAN network ID. set ip-version //IP version to use for VXLAN device (4 or 6).
set dstport //VXLAN destination port, default is 4789.
set ttl //VXLAN TTL.
set remote-ip //Remote IP address of VXLAN.
next
end
This will create a VXLAN interface:
show system interface vxlan1 config system interface edit “vxlan1” set vdom “root” set type vxlan set snmp-index 36 set macaddr 8a:ee:1d:5d:ae:53 set interface “port9”
next
end
From the GUI, go to Network > Interfaces to verify the new VXLAN interface:
To diagnose your VXLAN configuration, from the CLI, use the following command:
diagnose sys vxlan fdb list vxlan1
This command provides information about the VXLAN forwarding data base (fdb) associated to the vxlan1 interface. Below is a sample output:
———–mac=00:00:00:00:00:00 state=0x0082 flags=0x00———–
———–remote_ip=2.2.2.2 remote_port=4789———————remote_vni=1 remote_ifindex=19———-total fdb num: 1
