+Interface Addresses
+-------------------
+
+Each interface can be configured with a description and address. Interface
+addresses might be:
+
+* Static IPv4 `address 172.16.51.129/24`
+* Static IPv6 `address 2001:db8:1::ffff/64`
+* DHCP IPv4 `address dhcp`
+* DHCP IPv6 `address dhcpv6`
+
+An interface description is assigned using the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 description 'OUTSIDE'
+
+IPv4
+^^^^
+
+Static Address
+**************
+
+This method is supported on all interfaces, apart from OpenVPN that uses
+different syntax and wireless modems that are always autoconfigured through
+PPP.
+
+The command is `set interfaces $type $name address $address`. Examples:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 192.0.2.1/24
+ set interfaces tunnel tun0 address 10.0.0.1/30
+ set interfaces bridge br0 address 203.0.113.45/26
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 30 address 192.0.30.254/24
+
+DHCP
+****
+
+This method is supported on all physical interfaces, and those that are

+pseudo-ethernet, wireless).
+
+The command is `set interfaces $type $name address dhcp`. Examples:

+******
+
+EUI-64 (64-Bit Extended Unique Identifier) as specified in RFC4291_. IPv6
+addresses in /64 networks can be automatically generated from the prefix and

+Bonding
+-------
+
+You can combine (aggregate) 2 or more physical interfaces into a single
+logical one. It's called bonding, or LAG, or ether-channel, or port-channel.
+
+Create interface bondX, where X is just a number:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces bonding bond0 description 'my-sw1 int 23 and 24'
+
+You are able to choose a hash policy:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ vyos@vyos# set interfaces bonding bond0 hash-policy
+ Possible completions:
+ layer2 use MAC addresses to generate the hash (802.3ad)
+ layer2+3 combine MAC address and IP address to make hash
+ layer3+4 combine IP address and port to make hash
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces bonding bond0 hash-policy 'layer2'
+
+You may want to set IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation (802.3ad) AKA LACP
+(don't forget to setup it on the other end of these links):
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces bonding bond0 mode '802.3ad'
+
+or some other modes:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ vyos@vyos# set interfaces bonding bond0 mode
+ Possible completions:
+ 802.3ad IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation (Default)
+ active-backup
+ Fault tolerant: only one slave in the bond is active
+ broadcast Fault tolerant: transmits everything on all slave interfaces
+ round-robin Load balance: transmit packets in sequential order
+ transmit-load-balance
+ Load balance: adapts based on transmit load and speed
+ adaptive-load-balance
+ Load balance: adapts based on transmit and receive plus ARP
+ xor-hash Load balance: distribute based on MAC address
+
+Now bond some physical interfaces into bond0:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 bond-group 'bond0'
+ set interfaces ethernet eth0 description 'member of bond0'
+ set interfaces ethernet eth1 bond-group 'bond0'
+ set interfaces ethernet eth1 description 'member of bond0'
+
+After a commit you may treat bond0 as almost a physical interface (you can't
+change its` duplex, for example) and assign IPs or VIFs on it.
+
+You may check the result:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ vyos@vyos# run sh interfaces bonding
+ Codes: S - State, L - Link, u - Up, D - Down, A - Admin Down

+Bridging
+--------
+
+Interfaces in VyOS can be bridged together to provide software switching of
+Layer-2 traffic.
+
+A bridge is created when a bridge interface is defined. In the example below
+we will be creating a bridge for VLAN 100 and assigning a VIF to the bridge.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces bridge 'br100'
+ set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 bridge-group bridge br100
+
+Interfaces assigned to a bridge-group do not have address configuration. An IP
+address can be assigned to the bridge interface itself, however, like any
+normal interface.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces bridge br100 address '192.168.100.1/24'
+ set interfaces bridge br100 address '2001:db8:100::1/64'
+
+Example Result:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ bridge br100 {
+ address 192.168.100.1/24
+ address 2001:db8:100::1/64
+ }
+ [...]
+ ethernet eth1 {
+ [...]
+ vif 100 {
+ bridge-group {
+ bridge br100
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+In addition to normal IP interface configuration, bridge interfaces support
+Spanning-Tree Protocol. STP is disabled by default.
+
+.. note:: Please use caution when introducing spanning-tree protocol on a
+ network as it may result in topology changes.
+
+To enable spanning-tree use the
+`set interfaces bridge <name> stp true` command:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces bridge br100 stp true
+
+STP `priority`, `forwarding-delay`, `hello-time`, and `max-age` can be
+configured for the bridge-group. The MAC aging time can also be configured
+using the `aging` directive.
+
+For member interfaces, the bridge-group `priority` and `cost` can be
+configured.
+
+The `show bridge` operational command can be used to display configured
+bridges:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ vyos@vyos:~$ show bridge
+ bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
+ br100 0000.000c29443b19 yes eth1.100
+
+If spanning-tree is enabled, the `show bridge <name> spanning-tree` command
+can be used to show STP configuration:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ vyos@vyos:~$ show bridge br100 spanning-tree
+ br100
+ bridge id 0000.000c29443b19

+ ageing time 300.00
+ hello timer 0.47 tcn timer 0.00

+ designated port 8001 forward delay timer 0.00
+ designated cost 0 hold timer 0.00
+ flags
+
+The MAC address-table for a bridge can be displayed using the
+`show bridge <name> macs` command:
+
+.. code-block:: sh

+VXLAN
+-----
+
+VXLAN is an overlaying Ethernet over IP protocol.
+It is described in RFC7348_.
+
+If configuring VXLAN in a VyOS virtual machine, ensure that MAC spoofing
+(Hyper-V) or Forged Transmits (ESX) are permitted, otherwise forwarded frames
+may be blocked by the hypervisor.
+
+Multicast VXLAN
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Example Topology:
+
+PC4 - Leaf2 - Spine1 - Leaf3 - PC5
+
+PC4 has IP 10.0.0.4/24 and PC5 has IP 10.0.0.5/24, so they believe they are in
+the same broadcast domain.
+
+Let's assume PC4 on Leaf2 wants to ping PC5 on Leaf3. Instead of setting Leaf3
+as our remote end manually, Leaf2 encapsulates the packet into a UDP-packet and
+sends it to its designated multicast-address via Spine1. When Spine1 receives
+this packet it forwards it to all other Leafs who has joined the same
+multicast-group, in this case Leaf3. When Leaf3 receives the packet it forwards
+it, while at the same time learning that PC4 is reachable behind Leaf2, because
+the encapsulated packet had Leaf2's IP-address set as source IP.
+
+PC5 receives the ping echo, responds with an echo reply that Leaf3 receives and
+this time forwards to Leaf2's unicast address directly because it learned the
+location of PC4 above. When Leaf2 receives the echo reply from PC5 it sees that
+it came from Leaf3 and so remembers that PC5 is reachable via Leaf3.
+
+Thanks to this discovery, any subsequent traffic between PC4 and PC5 will not
+be using the multicast-address between the Leafs as they both know behind which
+Leaf the PCs are connected. This saves traffic as less multicast packets sent
+reduces the load on the network, which improves scalability when more Leafs are
+added.
+
+For optimal scalability Multicast shouldn't be used at all, but instead use BGP
+to signal all connected devices between leafs. Unfortunately, VyOS does not yet
+support this.
+
+Configuration commands
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ interfaces
+ vxlan <vxlan[0-16777215]>
+ address # IP address of the VXLAN interface
+ bridge-group # Configure a L2 bridge-group
+ description # Description
+ group <ipv4> # IPv4 Multicast group address (required)
+ ip # IPv4 routing options
+ ipv6 # IPv6 routing options
+ link <dev> # IP interface for underlay of this vxlan overlay (optional)
+ mtu # MTU
+ policy # Policy routing options
+ remote # Remote address of the VXLAN tunnel, used for PTP instead of multicast
+ vni <1-16777215> # Virtual Network Identifier (required)
+
+Configuration Example
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The setup is this:
+
+Leaf2 - Spine1 - Leaf3
+
+Spine1 is a Cisco IOS router running version 15.4, Leaf2 and Leaf3 is each a
+VyOS router running 1.2.
+
+This topology was built using GNS3.
+
+Topology:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ Spine1:
+ fa0/2 towards Leaf2, IP-address: 10.1.2.1/24
+ fa0/3 towards Leaf3, IP-address: 10.1.3.1/24
+
+ Leaf2:
+ Eth0 towards Spine1, IP-address: 10.1.2.2/24
+ Eth1 towards a vlan-aware switch
+
+ Leaf3:
+ Eth0 towards Spine1, IP-address 10.1.3.3/24
+ Eth1 towards a vlan-aware switch
+
+Spine1 Configuration:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ conf t
+ ip multicast-routing
+ !
+ interface fastethernet0/2
+ ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0
+ ip pim sparse-dense-mode
+ !
+ interface fastethernet0/3
+ ip address 10.1.3.1 255.255.255.0
+ ip pim sparse-dense-mode
+ !
+ router ospf 1
+ network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 0
+
+Multicast-routing is required for the leafs to forward traffic between each
+other in a more scalable way. This also requires PIM to be enabled towards the
+Leafs so that the Spine can learn what multicast groups each Leaf expect traffic
+from.
+

+
+As you can see, Leaf2 and Leaf3 configuration is almost identical. There are
+lots of commands above, I'll try to into more detail below, command
+descriptions are placed under the command boxes:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces bridge br241 address '172.16.241.1/24'
+
+This commands creates a bridge that is used to bind traffic on eth1 vlan 241
+with the vxlan241-interface. The IP-address is not required. It may however be
+used as a default gateway for each Leaf which allows devices on the vlan to
+reach other subnets. This requires that the subnets are redistributed by OSPF
+so that the Spine will learn how to reach it. To do this you need to change the
+OSPF network from '10.0.0.0/8' to '0.0.0.0/0' to allow 172.16/12-networks to be
+advertised.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 241 bridge-group bridge 'br241'
+ set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 bridge-group bridge 'br241'
+
+Binds eth1 vif 241 and vxlan241 to each other by putting them in the same
+bridge-group. Internal VyOS requirement.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 group '239.0.0.241'
+
+The multicast-group used by all Leafs for this vlan extension. Has to be the
+same on all Leafs that has this interface.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 link 'eth0'
+
+Sets the interface to listen for multicast packets on. Could be a loopback, not
+yet tested.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 vni '241'
+
+Sets the unique id for this vxlan-interface. Not sure how it correlates with
+multicast-address.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 remote-port 12345
+
+The destination port used for creating a VXLAN interface in Linux defaults to
+its pre-standard value of 8472 to preserve backwards compatibility. A
+configuration directive to support a user-specified destination port to override
+that behavior is available using the above command.
+
+Older Examples
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Example for bridging normal L2 segment and vxlan overlay network, and using a
+vxlan interface as routing interface.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ interfaces {
+ bridge br0 {
+ }
+ ethernet eth0 {
+ address dhcp
+ }
+ loopback lo {
+ }
+ vxlan vxlan0 {
+ bridge-group {
+ bridge br0
+ }
+ group 239.0.0.1

+ vxlan vxlan1 {
+ address 192.168.0.1/24
+ link eth0
+ group 239.0.0.1
+ vni 1
+ }
+ }
+
+Here is a working configuration that creates a VXLAN between two routers. Each
+router has a VLAN interface (26) facing the client devices and a VLAN interface
+(30) that connects it to the other routers. With this configuration, traffic
+can flow between both routers' VLAN 26, but can't escape since there is no L3
+gateway. You can add an IP to a bridge-group to create a gateway.

-Different network interfaces provide type-specific configuration. Ethernet
-interfaces, for example, allow the configuration of speed and duplex.
-
-Many services, such as network routing, firewall, and traffic policy also
-maintain interface-specific configuration. These will be covered in their
-respective sections.
-
-Interface Addresses
--------------------
-
-Each interface can be configured with a description and address. Interface
-addresses might be:
-
-* Static IPv4 `address 172.16.51.129/24`
-* Static IPv6 `address 2001:db8:1::ffff/64`
-* DHCP IPv4 `address dhcp`
-* DHCP IPv6 `address dhcpv6`
-
-An interface description is assigned using the following command:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces ethernet eth0 description 'OUTSIDE'
-
-IPv4
-^^^^
-
-Static Address
-**************
-
-This method is supported on all interfaces, apart from OpenVPN that uses
-different syntax and wireless modems that are always autoconfigured through
-PPP.
-
-The command is `set interfaces $type $name address $address`. Examples:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 192.0.2.1/24
- set interfaces tunnel tun0 address 10.0.0.1/30
- set interfaces bridge br0 address 203.0.113.45/26
- set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 30 address 192.0.30.254/24
-
-DHCP
-****
-
-This method is supported on all physical interfaces, and those that are
-directly connected to a physical interface (ethernet, VLAN, bridge, bond,
-pseudo-ethernet, wireless).
-
-The command is `set interfaces $type $name address dhcp`. Examples:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 90 address dhcp
- set interfaces bridge br0 address dhcp
-
-IPv6
-^^^^
-
-Static Address
-**************
-
-This method is supported on all interfaces, apart from OpenVPN that uses
-different syntax and wireless modems that are always autoconfigured through
-PPP. Static IPv6 addresses are supported on all interfaces except VTI.
-
-The command is `set interfaces $type $name address $address`. Examples:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 2001:db8:100::ffff/64
- set interfaces tunnel tun0 address 2001:db8::1/64
- set interfaces bridge br0 address 2001:db8:200::1/64
- set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 30 address 2001:db8:3::ffff/64
-
-DHCP
-****
-
-This method is supported on all physical interfaces, and those that are
-directly connected to a physical interface (ethernet, VLAN, bridge, bond,
-pseudo-ethernet, wireless).
-
-The command is `set interfaces $type $name address dhcpv6`. Examples:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces bonding bond1 address dhcpv6
- set interfaces bridge br0 vif 56 address dhcpv6
-
-Autoconfiguration (SLAAC)
-*************************
-
-SLAAC is specified in RFC4862_. This method is supported on all physical
-interfaces, and those that are directly connected to a physical interface
-(ethernet, VLAN, bridge, bond, pseudo-ethernet, wireless).
-
-The command is `set interfaces $type $name ipv6 address autoconf`. Examples:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 90 ipv6 address autoconf
- set interfaces bridge br0 ipv6 address autoconf
-
-.. note:: This method automatically disables IPv6 traffic forwarding on the
- interface in question.
-
-EUI-64
-******
-
-EUI-64 (64-Bit Extended Unique Identifier) as specified in RFC4291_. IPv6
-addresses in /64 networks can be automatically generated from the prefix and
-MAC address, if you specify the prefix.
-
-The command is `set interfaces $type $name ipv6 address eui64 $prefix`. Examples:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces bridge br0 ipv6 address eui64 2001:db8:beef::/64
- set interfaces pseudo-ethernet peth0 ipv6 address eui64 2001:db8:aa::/64
-
-Ethernet Interfaces
--------------------
-
-Ethernet interfaces allow for the configuration of speed, duplex, and hw-id
-(MAC address). Below is an example configuration:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '192.168.0.1/24'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '2001:db8:1::ffff/64'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 description 'INSIDE'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 duplex 'auto'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 speed 'auto'
-
-Resulting in:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- ethernet eth1 {
- address 192.168.0.1/24
- address 2001:db8:1::ffff/64
- description INSIDE
- duplex auto
- hw-id 00:0c:29:44:3b:19
- smp_affinity auto
- speed auto
- }
-
-In addition, Ethernet interfaces provide the extended operational commands
-`show interfaces ethernet <name> physical` and `show interfaces ethernet <name>
-statistics`. Statistics available are driver dependent.
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces ethernet eth0 physical
- Settings for eth0:
- Supported ports: [ TP ]

-Wireless Interfaces
--------------------
-Wireless, for example WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, interfaces allow for connection to
-WiFi networks or act as an access-point.
-If your device is configurable it will appear as `wlan` in `show interfaces`.
-
-To be able to use the wireless interfaces you will first need to set a
-regulatory domain with the country code of your locaion.
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set system wifi-regulatory-domain SE
-
-An example on how to set it up as an access point:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-

- set interfaces wireless wlan0 type access-point
- set interfaces wireless wlan0 channel 1
- set interfaces wireless wlan0 ssid '<your ssid>'
- set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa mode wpa2
- set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa cipher CCMP
- set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa passphrase '<your passphrase>'

-
-To get it to work as a access point with this configuration you will need
-to set up a DHCP server to work with that network.
-
-
-VLAN Sub-Interfaces (802.1Q)
-----------------------------
-
-802.1Q VLAN interfaces are represented as virtual sub-interfaces in VyOS. The
-term used for this is `vif`. Configuration of a tagged sub-interface is
-accomplished using the configuration command `set interfaces ethernet <name>
-vif <vlan-id>`.
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 description 'VLAN 100'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 address '192.168.100.1/24'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 address '2001:db8:100::1/64'
-
-Resulting in:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- ethernet eth1 {
- address 192.168.100.1/24
- address 2001:db8:100::1/64
- description INSIDE
- duplex auto
- hw-id 00:0c:29:44:3b:19
- smp_affinity auto
- speed auto
- vif 100 {
- address 192.168.100.1/24
- description "VLAN 100"
- }
- }
-
-VLAN interfaces are shown as `<name>.<vlan-id>`, e.g. `eth1.100`:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces
- Codes: S - State, L - Link, u - Up, D - Down, A - Admin Down
- Interface IP Address S/L Description
- --------- ---------- --- -----------
- eth0 172.16.51.129/24 u/u OUTSIDE
- eth1 192.168.0.1/24 u/u INSIDE
- eth1.100 192.168.100.1/24 u/u VLAN 100
- lo 127.0.0.1/8 u/u
- ::1/128
-
-Bridging
---------
-
-Interfaces in VyOS can be bridged together to provide software switching of
-Layer-2 traffic.
-
-A bridge is created when a bridge interface is defined. In the example below
-we will be creating a bridge for VLAN 100 and assigning a VIF to the bridge.
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces bridge 'br100'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 100 bridge-group bridge br100
-
-Interfaces assigned to a bridge-group do not have address configuration. An IP
-address can be assigned to the bridge interface itself, however, like any
-normal interface.
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces bridge br100 address '192.168.100.1/24'
- set interfaces bridge br100 address '2001:db8:100::1/64'
-
-Example Result:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- bridge br100 {
- address 192.168.100.1/24
- address 2001:db8:100::1/64
- }
- [...]
- ethernet eth1 {
- [...]
- vif 100 {
- bridge-group {
- bridge br100
- }
- }
- }
-
-In addition to normal IP interface configuration, bridge interfaces support
-Spanning-Tree Protocol. STP is disabled by default.
-
-.. note:: Please use caution when introducing spanning-tree protocol on a
- network as it may result in topology changes.
-
-To enable spanning-tree use the `set interfaces bridge <name> stp true` command:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces bridge br100 stp true
-
-STP `priority`, `forwarding-delay`, `hello-time`, and `max-age` can be
-configured for the bridge-group. The MAC aging time can also be configured
-using the `aging` directive.
-
-For member interfaces, the bridge-group `priority` and `cost` can be configured.
-
-The `show bridge` operational command can be used to display configured bridges:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- vyos@vyos:~$ show bridge
- bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
- br100 0000.000c29443b19 yes eth1.100
-
-If spanning-tree is enabled, the `show bridge <name> spanning-tree` command
-can be used to show STP configuration:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- vyos@vyos:~$ show bridge br100 spanning-tree
- br100
- bridge id 0000.000c29443b19
- designated root 0000.000c29443b19
- root port 0 path cost 0
- max age 20.00 bridge max age 20.00
- hello time 2.00 bridge hello time 2.00
- forward delay 15.00 bridge forward delay 15.00
- ageing time 300.00
- hello timer 0.47 tcn timer 0.00
- topology change timer 0.00 gc timer 64.63
- flags
-
- eth1.100 (1)
- port id 8001 state forwarding
- designated root 0000.000c29443b19 path cost 4
- designated bridge 0000.000c29443b19 message age timer 0.00
- designated port 8001 forward delay timer 0.00
- designated cost 0 hold timer 0.00
- flags
-
-The MAC address-table for a bridge can be displayed using the `show bridge
-<name> macs` command:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- vyos@vyos:~$ show bridge br100 macs
- port no mac addr is local? ageing timer
- 1 00:0c:29:44:3b:19 yes 0.00
-
-Bonding
--------
-
-You can combine (aggregate) 2 or more physical interfaces into a single
-logical one. It's called bonding, or LAG, or ether-channel, or port-channel.
-
-Create interface bondX, where X is just a number:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces bonding bond0 description 'my-sw1 int 23 and 24'
-
-You are able to choose a hash policy:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- vyos@vyos# set interfaces bonding bond0 hash-policy
- Possible completions:
- layer2 use MAC addresses to generate the hash (802.3ad)
- layer2+3 combine MAC address and IP address to make hash
- layer3+4 combine IP address and port to make hash
-
-For example:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces bonding bond0 hash-policy 'layer2'
-
-You may want to set IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation (802.3ad) AKA LACP
-(don't forget to setup it on the other end of these links):
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces bonding bond0 mode '802.3ad'
-
-or some other modes:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- vyos@vyos# set interfaces bonding bond0 mode
- Possible completions:
- 802.3ad IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation (Default)
- active-backup
- Fault tolerant: only one slave in the bond is active
- broadcast Fault tolerant: transmits everything on all slave interfaces
- round-robin Load balance: transmit packets in sequential order
- transmit-load-balance
- Load balance: adapts based on transmit load and speed
- adaptive-load-balance
- Load balance: adapts based on transmit and receive plus ARP
- xor-hash Load balance: distribute based on MAC address
-
-Now bond some physical interfaces into bond0:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces ethernet eth0 bond-group 'bond0'
- set interfaces ethernet eth0 description 'member of bond0'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 bond-group 'bond0'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 description 'member of bond0'
-
-After a commit you may treat bond0 as almost a physical interface (you can't
-change its` duplex, for example) and assign IPs or VIFs on it.
-
-You may check the result:
-

-VXLAN
------
-
-VXLAN is an overlaying Ethernet over IP protocol. It is described in RFC7348_.
-
-If configuring VXLAN in a VyOS virtual machine, ensure that MAC spoofing
-(Hyper-V) or Forged Transmits (ESX) are permitted, otherwise forwarded frames
-may be blocked by the hypervisor.
-
-Multicast VXLAN
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Example Topology:
-
-PC4 - Leaf2 - Spine1 - Leaf3 - PC5
-
-PC4 has IP 10.0.0.4/24 and PC5 has IP 10.0.0.5/24, so they believe they are in
-the same broadcast domain.
-
-Let's assume PC4 on Leaf2 wants to ping PC5 on Leaf3. Instead of setting Leaf3
-as our remote end manually, Leaf2 encapsulates the packet into a UDP-packet and
-sends it to its designated multicast-address via Spine1. When Spine1 receives
-this packet it forwards it to all other Leafs who has joined the same
-multicast-group, in this case Leaf3. When Leaf3 receives the packet it forwards
-it, while at the same time learning that PC4 is reachable behind Leaf2, because
-the encapsulated packet had Leaf2's IP-address set as source IP.
-
-PC5 receives the ping echo, responds with an echo reply that Leaf3 receives and
-this time forwards to Leaf2's unicast address directly because it learned the
-location of PC4 above. When Leaf2 receives the echo reply from PC5 it sees that
-it came from Leaf3 and so remembers that PC5 is reachable via Leaf3.
-
-Thanks to this discovery, any subsequent traffic between PC4 and PC5 will not
-be using the multicast-address between the Leafs as they both know behind which
-Leaf the PCs are connected. This saves traffic as less multicast packets sent
-reduces the load on the network, which improves scalability when more Leafs are
-added.
-
-For optimal scalability Multicast shouldn't be used at all, but instead use BGP
-to signal all connected devices between leafs. Unfortunately, VyOS does not yet
-support this.
-

-
-Configuration Example
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The setup is this:
-
-Leaf2 - Spine1 - Leaf3
-
-Spine1 is a Cisco IOS router running version 15.4, Leaf2 and Leaf3 is each a
-VyOS router running 1.2.
-
-This topology was built using GNS3.
-
-Topology:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- Spine1:
- fa0/2 towards Leaf2, IP-address: 10.1.2.1/24
- fa0/3 towards Leaf3, IP-address: 10.1.3.1/24
-
- Leaf2:
- Eth0 towards Spine1, IP-address: 10.1.2.2/24
- Eth1 towards a vlan-aware switch
-
- Leaf3:
- Eth0 towards Spine1, IP-address 10.1.3.3/24
- Eth1 towards a vlan-aware switch
-
-Spine1 Configuration:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- conf t
- ip multicast-routing
- !
- interface fastethernet0/2
- ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0
- ip pim sparse-dense-mode
- !
- interface fastethernet0/3
- ip address 10.1.3.1 255.255.255.0
- ip pim sparse-dense-mode
- !
- router ospf 1
- network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 0
-
-Multicast-routing is required for the leafs to forward traffic between each
-other in a more scalable way. This also requires PIM to be enabled towards the
-Leafs so that the Spine can learn what multicast groups each Leaf expect traffic
-from.
-
-Leaf2 configuration:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces ethernet eth0 address '10.1.2.2/24'
- set protocols ospf area 0 network '10.0.0.0/8'
-
- ! Our first vxlan interface
- set interfaces bridge br241 address '172.16.241.1/24'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 241 bridge-group bridge 'br241'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 bridge-group bridge 'br241'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 group '239.0.0.241'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 link 'eth0'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 vni '241'
-
- ! Our seconds vxlan interface
- set interfaces bridge br242 address '172.16.242.1/24'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 242 bridge-group bridge 'br242'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 bridge-group bridge 'br242'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 group '239.0.0.242'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 link 'eth0'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 vni '242'
-
-Leaf3 configuration:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces ethernet eth0 address '10.1.3.3/24'
- set protocols ospf area 0 network '10.0.0.0/8'
-
- ! Our first vxlan interface
- set interfaces bridge br241 address '172.16.241.1/24'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 241 bridge-group bridge 'br241'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 bridge-group bridge 'br241'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 group '239.0.0.241'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 link 'eth0'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 vni '241'
-
- ! Our seconds vxlan interface
- set interfaces bridge br242 address '172.16.242.1/24'
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 242 bridge-group bridge 'br242'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 bridge-group bridge 'br242'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 group '239.0.0.242'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 link 'eth0'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan242 vni '242'
-
-As you can see, Leaf2 and Leaf3 configuration is almost identical. There are
-lots of commands above, I'll try to into more detail below, command
-descriptions are placed under the command boxes:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces bridge br241 address '172.16.241.1/24'
-
-This commands creates a bridge that is used to bind traffic on eth1 vlan 241
-with the vxlan241-interface. The IP-address is not required. It may however be
-used as a default gateway for each Leaf which allows devices on the vlan to
-reach other subnets. This requires that the subnets are redistributed by OSPF
-so that the Spine will learn how to reach it. To do this you need to change the
-OSPF network from '10.0.0.0/8' to '0.0.0.0/0' to allow 172.16/12-networks to be
-advertised.
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces ethernet eth1 vif 241 bridge-group bridge 'br241'
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 bridge-group bridge 'br241'
-
-Binds eth1 vif 241 and vxlan241 to each other by putting them in the same
-bridge-group. Internal VyOS requirement.
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 group '239.0.0.241'
-
-The multicast-group used by all Leafs for this vlan extension. Has to be the
-same on all Leafs that has this interface.
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 link 'eth0'
-
-Sets the interface to listen for multicast packets on. Could be a loopback, not
-yet tested.
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 vni '241'
-
-Sets the unique id for this vxlan-interface. Not sure how it correlates with
-multicast-address.
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- set interfaces vxlan vxlan241 remote-port 12345
-
-The destination port used for creating a VXLAN interface in Linux defaults to
-its pre-standard value of 8472 to preserve backwards compatibility. A
-configuration directive to support a user-specified destination port to override
-that behavior is available using the above command.
-
-Older Examples
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Example for bridging normal L2 segment and vxlan overlay network, and using a
-vxlan interface as routing interface.
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- interfaces {
- bridge br0 {
- }
- ethernet eth0 {
- address dhcp
- }
- loopback lo {
- }
- vxlan vxlan0 {
- bridge-group {
- bridge br0
- }
- group 239.0.0.1
- vni 0
- }
- vxlan vxlan1 {
- address 192.168.0.1/24
- link eth0
- group 239.0.0.1
- vni 1
- }
- }
-
-Here is a working configuration that creates a VXLAN between two routers. Each
-router has a VLAN interface (26) facing the client devices and a VLAN interface
-(30) that connects it to the other routers. With this configuration, traffic
-can flow between both routers' VLAN 26, but can't escape since there is no L3
-gateway. You can add an IP to a bridge-group to create a gateway.
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
- interfaces {
- bridge br0 {
- }
- ethernet eth0 {
- duplex auto
- smp-affinity auto
- speed auto
- vif 26 {
- bridge-group {
- bridge br0
- }
- }
- vif 30 {
- address 10.7.50.6/24
- }
- }
- loopback lo {
- }
- vxlan vxlan0 {
- bridge-group {
- bridge br0
- }
- group 239.0.0.241
- vni 241
- }
- }
