bgp nlri evpn

Pre-Alpha. This page describes behavior that may change.

L2VPN EVPN (AFI 25 / SAFI 70), per RFC 7432. Encodes and decodes all five EVPN route types.

Category

Address families.

Configuration

plugin {
    internal nlri-evpn { use bgp-nlri-evpn }
}

bgp {
    peer upstream {
        family {
            l2vpn/evpn { prefix { maximum 10000; } }
        }
    }
}

Behaviour

The plugin handles all five EVPN route types: Ethernet Auto-Discovery, MAC/IP Advertisement, Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag, Ethernet Segment, and IP Prefix. Routes are parsed into their structured form for event subscribers and re-encoded for forwarding.

EVPN is what you use for L2VPN services over a BGP control plane. Pair with the VXLAN or MPLS-based dataplane of your choice.

Interactions

• Works alongside bgp-nlri-vpn when you mix L2 and L3 VPN services.
• Supports both encode and decode.
