Figure 11 Distributed VXLAN IP gateway placement design
Figure 12 shows an example of distributed VXLAN IP gateway deployment. This section uses this
figure to describe the forwarding processes for intra-VXLAN traffic, inter-VXLAN traffic, and traffic
from a VXLAN to an external network. In these processes, VTEPs use dynamically learned ARP
entries.
