Arista L3 Leaf/Spine Step by Step (3a) - Vxlan Routing, Modes

The following couple of posts will cover the VxLAN routing. 

What's and why VxLAN Routing? With VxLAN bridging, the hosts in the same VLAN 10 can talk to each other. But we need VxLAN routing to have VLAN 10 address to reach the hosts in VLAN 11. 


How to enable VxLAN Routing? Creating a SVI interface on a VLAN which is associated to a VNI



We can achieve this in the following 5 modes:

  • Router on a stick - Gateway only on dedicated routers
  • Direct Routing - Gateway on all VTEPs
  • Indirect Routing - Gateway only on few dedicated VTEPs
  • Naked Routing - Regular routing w/o VxLAN encap
  • * Hybrid - Combination of direct/indirect and naked routing based on case
