Context
A fabric is a virtual network built on top of a physical network using the VXLAN technology, and has all resources pooled. You need to create a fabric first and then complete basic networking configurations for the fabric, including selecting border and edge nodes as well as configuring BGP EVPN on the VXLAN control plane. In addition, you can enable automatic route orchestration for the underlay network when creating a fabric.

Operation Procedure

Creating a fabric
|
- Select a gateway type, which can be centralized or distributed.
- Select devices that function as border or edge nodes. If VXLAN is deployed across core and aggregation layers on the fabric, access switches are usually used as extended nodes.
- (Optional) Configure storm suppression on the fabric. To mitigate the risks caused by network storms, you are advised to enable storm suppression.
- (Optional) Enable terminal identification information reporting. You need to enable this function when configuring the terminal identification function.
- Enable automatic route orchestration for the underlay network.
- Configure BGP EVPN. You are advised to configure the core switch that functions as a border node as an RR.
