Configure VXLANs (Oracle Solaris)
VXLAN is a Layer 2 technology that enables you to create a Layer 2 network on top of a Layer
3 network, thereby providing further network isolation. VXLAN provides a virtual Layer 2
network that stretches over multiple physical Layer 2 networks. Provisioning resources in a
cloud environment is not restricted to a single physical Layer 2 network. Physical servers can be
a part of an VXLAN network, as long as they are connected by IPv4 or IPv6 networks.
1.
Determine the types of links that are used in the system.
# dladm show-phys | grep i40e
net4 Ethernet up 10000 full i40e0
net6 Ethernet up 10000 full i40e2
net5 Ethernet up 10000 full i40e1
net7 Ethernet up 10000 full i40e3
2.
Create an IP interface over the VXLAN.
# dladm create-vxlan -p addr=10.10.10.1,vni=100 vxlan1
# dladm create-vxlan -p addr=10.10.10.1,vni=101 vxlan2
3.
Verify the VXLAN configuration.
# dladm show-vxlan
LINK ADDR VNI MGROUP
vxlan1 10.10.10.1 100 224.0.0.1
vxlan2 10.10.10.1 101 224.0.0.1
