Configure the VNI

This task enables you to add a VNI interface and configure its basic parameters for Geneve functionality on your device.

Add a VNI, associate it with (VTEP) source interface, and configure basic interface parameters.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Devices > Device Management.

Step 2

Click Edit (edit icon) next to the device on which you want to configure Geneve.

Step 3

Click Interfaces.

Step 4

Click Add Interfaces, and then choose VNI Interface.

  1. In the Name and Description fields, provide relevant information.

  2. In the VNI ID field, enter a value between 1 and 10000.

    Note

    This ID is only an internal interface identifier.

Step 5

Check the Enable Proxy check box.

Note

When the AWS proxy is enabled on the VNI interface of your device, configuring NAT is not allowed.

This option enables single-arm proxy, and allows traffic to exit the same interface it entered (U-turn traffic). If you edit the interface later , you cannot disable single-arm proxy. To disable single-arm proxy, delete the existing interface and create a new VNI interface.

This option is only available for a Geneve VTEP.

Step 6

Select NVE Mapped to VTEP Interface.

This option associates this interface with the VTEP source interface.

Step 7

Click OK.

Step 8

Click Save.
