VXLAN Mikrotik - RouterOS v7

#vxlan #mikrotik #routeros7

Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) is a tunneling protocol that tunnels Ethernet (layer 2) traffic over an IP (layer 3) network.

Great for the Data Center - we have full control over all the network devices, we can manage the MTU (there are 50B of overhead on the L2 header)

Internet Service Providers?
There are some use cases, but we are waiting for Mikrotik to implement BGP-EVPN. I will talk about about EVPN-VXLAN in a future video (currently no supported in RouterOS)

Now supported in RouterOS v7. Learn how to configure it from scratch in this video!

I rarely put my comments on YT, but this one deserved a good job in explaining and demonstrating how vxlan works in Mikrotik. Clever use of eve-ng too.

Great video and explanation. Thank you!

Very clear. I love your way to explain networking. Furthermore, your labs and diagrams are very helpful. Anyway, in a real scenario, data between branches of the same company would go through encrypted tunnel like Wireguard first. I mean, it would be VXLANs over a Wireguard tunnel or alike. Right? Thanks

Very good way of way how you do that tutorials. chapters, not use Apply>OK what is mistake, mark what you do, why you do etc. Good way. I will subb and like your channel !.

Great video! Found it as I am troubleshooting my own VxLAN implementation. Do you take questions about such things?

[jesusantoniosalazar]

Does this configuration work for transport broadcast data for transport TV signals from one site to another?

[shokowillard]

Thank you so much, you are really good at explaining very complex topics. This is by far the best VXLAN tutorial. My question is, how would you set it up so that the tunnel is only used for local traffic and the internet traffic is used on the individual sites? With the current vxlan setup client 2 will use client 1's internet

[prawira]

what is the max size of mtu you can get with vxlan ?

Wilmer por favor en español un tutorial y explicación gracias
