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

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.
