VXLAN Deployment

[Trevor Chandler]

Hello CINners,

I wanted to throw a little something in the direction of your networking types, to
see where you are with a certain subject. Got a couple of questions:

Question 1: What are the three (3) main ways to deploy VXLAN?


Question 2: When deploying VXLAN, the method used is based on what?



Whatcha got CINners????

two main ways to deploy VXLAN (Virtual eXtensible Local-Area Network) are centralized
and distributed

Deployment of gateway-based VXLAN is done directly on network gateway devices like routers and Layer 3 switches

May you please define it, I want to learn more

What’s the biggest challenge when configuring it this way?

What’s the biggest challenge when configuring it this way?

• Network infrastructure
  VXLAN works over existing IP networks, but requires a strong underlying network infrastructure to be effective. Inconsistent network performance can impact VXLAN's benefits.
  
  
• Configuration complexity
  VXLAN can be complex to set up and manage, especially for organizations with limited networking expertise.
  
  
• Limited visibility
  VXLAN headers encapsulate traffic, which can make it harder to monitor and troubleshoot network traffic.
  
  
• End-to-end security
  While VXLAN improves segmentation and isolation, it can be challenging to ensure end-to-end security across virtual networks.
  
  
• Multicast scalability
  Mapping multiple VXLAN segments to a single multicast group can help with scalability, but it can lead to suboptimal multicast forwarding.

May I get you to share your reference with me. In my notes, I not only have THREE main ways, but of those three, neither of your two are mentioned!!!

Then give us your own view on this.

Give us your own view so that I can learn from you as well.

I will! It's coming! Stay tuned!!!!

I will! It's coming! Stay tuned!!!!

Okay I am waiting.

Sounds like someone's handing out grades instead of packets!

Shall we call in a referee or just settle it over a cup of coffee and some packet captures?
