+Single VXLAN device (SVD)
+=========================
+
+FRR supports a new way of configuring VLAN-to-VNI mappings for EVPN-VXLAN, when
+working with the Linux kernel. In this new way, the mapping of a VLAN to a
+:abbr:`VNI (VXLAN Network Identifier (or VXLAN Segment ID))` is configured
+against a container VXLAN interface which is referred to as a
+:abbr:`SVD (Single VXLAN device)`.
+
+Multiple VLAN to VNI mappings can be configured against the same SVD. This
+allows for a significant scaling of the number of VNIs since a separate VXLAN
+interface is no longer required for each VNI.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces vxlan <interface> vlan-to-vni <vlan> vni <vni>
+
+ Maps the VNI to the specified VLAN id. The VLAN can then be consumed by
+ a bridge.
+
+ Sample configuration of SVD with VLAN to VNI mappings is shown below.
+
+ .. code-block:: none
+
+ set interfaces bridge br0 member interface vxlan0
+ set interfaces vxlan vxlan0 external
+ set interfaces vxlan vxlan0 source-interface 'dum0'
+ set interfaces vxlan vxlan0 vlan-to-vni 10 vni '10010'
+ set interfaces vxlan vxlan0 vlan-to-vni 11 vni '10011'
+ set interfaces vxlan vxlan0 vlan-to-vni 30 vni '10030'
+ set interfaces vxlan vxlan0 vlan-to-vni 31 vni '10031'
