[c-nsp] VXLAN Unicast/Multicast flooding

[Aftab Siddiqui]

Dear All,

We are trying to establish VXLAN tunnel between Arista 7050 (4.14.4F) and
Cisco ASR 9001 (IOS 5.3.0). The problem we are having is that Arista 7050
does not support multicast-group assignment to the Virtual Tunnel Interface
(VTI) and only support unicast flooding to VTEPs. While Cisco only supports
multicast-group assignment.

So, is there is any work around to solve this problem? Anyone tried this
before or working on VXLAN would like to share some experience with Cisco.

As per the RFC7348, there should be IP multicast group support for VXLAN.



Regards,

Aftab A. Siddiqui
