According to bridge https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/bridge.8.html

We can try to do

ip link add <ifaceName> type vxlan \
  id <randomID> \
  dstport <bindPort> \
  local <listenAddr>
bridge fdb append 00:00:00:00:00:00 dev vxlan100 <peer1addr> port <peer1port>
bridge fdb append 00:00:00:00:00:00 dev vxlan100 dst <peer1addr> port <peer2port>

In fact I believe this is what Calico and Flannel does behind the scene

In addition, there are some design decisions of fastd that are incompatible with VXLANs:
