• Source Port: Entropy of the inner frame. The entropy could be based on the Inner
L2 header or Inner L3 header.
• VXLAN Port : IANA-assigned VXLAN Port (4789).
• UDP Checksum: The UDP checksum field is transmitted as zero. When a packet is
received with a UDP checksum of zero, it is accepted for decapsulation.
VXLAN Header :
• VXLAN Flags : Reserved bits set to zero except bit 3, the first bit, which is set to 1
for a valid VNI
• VNI: The 24-bit field that is the VXLAN Network Identifier
• Reserved: A set of fields, 24 bits and 8 bits, that are reserved and set to zero .
Frame Check
Sequence (FCS):
Note that the original Ethernet frame's FCS is not included, but new FCS is generated
on the outer Ethernet frame.
Configuring and Controlling VXLAN
from the NVP Controller GUI
To configure and control VXLAN from the NVP controller GUI, follow these steps:
1 Create Hypervisor
To create a Hypervisor or server, the required fields are the IP address and SSL certificate of the server.
The following are the snapshots of the user interface for creating a Hypervisor:
