Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

In scenarios where different CEs are dual-homed to PEs, if you want a remote PE to send unicast traffic to different CEs in different modes (load balancing and non-load balancing), you can set a redundancy mode per ESI instance. Before performing this configuration, you need to confirm the ESI generation mode on the access side. If an ESI on the access side derives from a static configuration, you need to run the esi esi command in the global EVPN configuration view to configure a static ESI instance, and then run the evpn redundancy-mode command in the static ESI instance view to set a redundancy mode.

Example

# Configure a static ESI instance with a specific name.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] evpn
[*HUAWEI-evpn] esi 0011.1001.1001.1001.1002
