EVPN and PBB-EVPN
EVPN tests Ethernet VPN services over BGP. It can emulate an EVI, local MAC/IP addresses, Route Distinguisher, Route Target, and labels. PBB-EVPN extends the scenario with backbone MAC, I-SID, and B-VID parameters for networks using Provider Backbone Bridging.
Table 217 — EVPN Parameters
| Name | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Instance ID | EVPN instance identifier | Specify a unique number |
| EVI | EVPN Instance ID | 100 by default |
| Mode | EVPN mode | evpn, or PBB-EVPN mode when used |
| Local label | Local MPLS label | 50000 by default |
| BGP session ID | BGP session used for EVPN | Specify the BGP session ID |
| Route Distinguisher | EVPN instance RD | For example, 65000:100 |
| Route Target | Import/export RT | Specify the service RT |
| Ethernet tag | Ethernet Tag ID | 0 for a basic scenario |
| LDP transport instance ID | Transport LDP instance | Use as required |
| MTU | Service MTU | 1500 by default |
| Local MACs | Local MAC/IP addresses advertised in EVPN | Add the MAC and, when required, IP address |
| B-MAC | Backbone MAC for PBB-EVPN | Set in PBB-EVPN scenarios |
| I-SID | Service Instance Identifier | Used in PBB-EVPN |
| B-VID | Backbone VLAN ID | Used in PBB-EVPN |
The BGP session in an EVPN scenario must be configured to exchange EVPN routes. After starting, check the number of local and remote MAC addresses, the BGP session state, and whether the DUT has learned the EVPN routes.
