[j-nsp] EVPN/VXLAN on QFX5100

[Chris Kawchuk]

You cannot use MPLS as the "underlay" Transport on QFX51xx. I tried the same -- you need to use VxLAN as the "transport LSP" so to speak. (Think of VXLAN remote VTEP IP address as being the outer label, and the VNI is the inner label.)

There's a config guide floating around out there on the JNPR Website fort the QFX manual showing how to setup the VTEPs so that the switches setup an "inet.3" table between each other for remote-next-hop resolution (from iBGP/MP-BGP sessions), pointing to a remote VTEP IP. 

Good luck! Would be nice if they could do MPLS as the underlay, but <-insert Trident2+ Pipeline issues-> here.
