Lab: EVPN Asymmetric IRB with Anycast Gateways
I postponed the discussion of ARP issues with EVPN anycast gateways to keep yesterday’s blog post reasonably short. If you’re impatient and want to try that out, I have just the right lab exercise for you; you’ll have to extend VLANs into end-to-end MAC-VRF instances and add IRB and anycast gateways:
You can run the lab on your own netlab-enabled infrastructure (more details), but also within a free GitHub Codespace or even on your Apple-silicon Mac (installation, using Arista cEOS container, using VXLAN/EVPN labs).
