L2LS with L3 tenants in non-default VRF and BGP on Spines #4670

Open ksantos01 opened 1 day ago

ksantos01 commented 1 day ago

Enhancement summary

In L2LS deployments we are seeing customers looking to use a separate vrf for tenant traffic, however there are some limitations in eos_desings currently to achieve this. In the scenario below VRF RED is used for tenant traffic and we are running BGP on the Spines.

Example of config in generated for the VRF RED:

vlan 10
   name V10-T-A-VRF-RED
!
vrf instance RED
!
interface Vlan10
   description V10-T-A-VRF-RED
   no shutdown
   vrf RED
   ip address 10.10.10.252/24
   ip virtual-router address 10.10.10.254
!
ip virtual-router mac-address 00:1c:73:00:dc:01
!
ip routing vrf RED
!
router bgp 65000.0
   bgp asn notation asdot
   router-id 192.168.100.1
   distance bgp 20 200 200
   graceful-restart restart-time 300
   graceful-restart
   maximum-paths 128 ecmp 128
   no bgp default ipv4-unicast
   timers bgp 5 15
   neighbor default send-community
   neighbor IPv4-UNDERLAY-PEERS peer group
   neighbor IPv4-UNDERLAY-PEERS password 7 $1c$G8BQN0ezkiJOX2cuAYpsEA==
   neighbor IPv4-UNDERLAY-PEERS send-community
   neighbor IPv4-UNDERLAY-PEERS maximum-routes 12000
   neighbor MLAG-IPv4-UNDERLAY-PEER peer group
   neighbor MLAG-IPv4-UNDERLAY-PEER remote-as 65000.0
   neighbor MLAG-IPv4-UNDERLAY-PEER next-hop-self
   neighbor MLAG-IPv4-UNDERLAY-PEER description DC1-SP2
   neighbor MLAG-IPv4-UNDERLAY-PEER send-community
   neighbor MLAG-IPv4-UNDERLAY-PEER maximum-routes 12000
   neighbor MLAG-IPv4-UNDERLAY-PEER route-map RM-MLAG-PEER-IN in
   neighbor 172.16.1.1 peer group MLAG-IPv4-UNDERLAY-PEER
   neighbor 172.16.1.1 description DC1-SP2
   redistribute connected
   !

      neighbor IPv4-UNDERLAY-PEERS activate
      neighbor MLAG-IPv4-UNDERLAY-PEER activate

We are missing few additions to be able to advertise the VRF RED network in BGP.

  1. Redistribute connected in the RED vrf. For example: 
    router bgp <asn>
vrf RED
  redistribute connected
  2. SVI in VRF RED for the iBGP session between the spine switches.
  3. A iBGP peering in VRF RED to the other Spine over the MLAG peer link for redundancy purposes.
