Usage Guidelines

Similar to VLAN ID, VNI is used to distinguish VXLAN segments.

On the VXLAN network, one VXLAN segment is a large Layer 2 BD; therefore, VNI and BD have a one-to-one mapping relationship.

You can run this command to configure the mapping relationship between VNIs and BDs. In this way, the VTEP can forward received packets through a correct VXLAN tunnel based on the mapping between BDs and VNIs.

Example

# Set the mapping between VNI 10 and BD 10.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] bridge-domain 10
[HUAWEI-bd10] vxlan vni 10
