I will be talking about how to implement MP-BGP EVPN VXLAN in ingress replication mode, and in another future post about multicast, in Proxmox and Nexus N9K. It doesn’t need to be a nexus switch. Your switch of choice just needs to support VXLAN, multiprotocol BGP, EVPN and some IGP like OSPF or IS-IS. I also have a custom switch made from an old PC with FRR running on it. This is a good substitute for a dedicated pricey enterprise switch, not to mention the power draw is much lower.
I’ve documented what I have learned and my findings. Note that everything may/is not fully correct as these are only my findings from what I could find on the internet, mainly Cisco pdf files and individual tutorials. Do not forget to analyze and go through the configurations by yourself.
