Example for Configuring an Ethernet Service Activation Test on an EVPN VXLAN (Y.1564)
An Ethernet service activation test is configured on an EVPN VXLAN to check whether network performance meets SLA performance indexes.
Networking Requirements
An Ethernet service activation test can be configured to help users learn the performance and running status of existing deployed networks before rolling out services. Information obtained can help make business proposals and promote services.
In Figure 1, the EVPN VXLAN to be tested resides on UNIs on the network side. Device B is configured as the initiator, and Device C is configured as the reflector. A test instance is configured to test whether Ethernet frame transmission performance between the initiator and reflector meets the SLA.
In this example, the destination MAC address is specified in a test instance to check the network performance between CEs on both ends of a Layer 2 EVPN. In a Layer 3 scenario, the destination IP address must be specified.
Interface 1 and interface 2 stand for GE 0/1/0 and GE 0/1/8, respectively.
Configuration Roadmap
The roadmap is as follows:
Configure a VXLAN network.
Configure Device A and Device B to communicate and Device C and Device D to communicate.
Configure Device C as the reflector to reflect service traffic.
Configure Device B as the initiator to simulate and send service traffic.
Data Preparation
To complete the configuration, you need the following data:
IP addresses of interconnected interfaces of devices
Service flow characteristics:
- Destination MAC address: 00-e0-fc-12-34-67 of GE 0/1/8 on Device D
- Source MAC address: 00-e0-fc-12-34-65 of GE 0/1/8 on Device A
- VLAN ID carried in Ethernet frames: 10
- UDP destination port number: 1234
- UDP source port number: 5678
Bandwidth profile: 10000 kbit/s for both the CIR and EIR
Service acceptance criteria: 1000/100000 for FLR: 1000 microseconds for both FTD and FDV
Procedure
- Assign an IP address and a loopback address to each interface.
For configuration details, see Configuration Files in this section.
- Configure an IGP on the backbone network. In this example, OSPF is used.
For configuration details, see Configuration Files in this section.
- Configure a VXLAN tunnel between Device B and Device C.
For configuration roadmap, see Configuring VXLAN. For configuration details, see Configuration Files in this section.
After a VXLAN tunnel is established, run the display vxlan tunnel command on Device B or Device C to check VXLAN tunnel information. The following example uses the command output on Device B.
