Abstract: In an example, a switch may receive an authentication request from a host associated with a first wireless access point (WAP) connected to the switch. The switch acts as a VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) in a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) based Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN). The switch forwards the authentication request to an authentication server and on successful authentication of the host, may associate a role information with the host based on an authentication response from the authentication server. Further, the switch may create a BGP extended community field carrying the role identifier indicative of network policies to be implemented for the host and attach the BGP extended community field with a route advertisement. The switch then sends the route advertisement to another switch. The another switch is configured as a peer VTEP in the VXLAN. The switch and the another switch is configured in a single Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN).

Abstract: In an example, a failure event is detected in a network, where the failure event is indicative of a network outage in a network device or a peer network device of an MC-LAG. The network device and the peer network device may be configured as a first VTEP in an overlay network. It may be determined that reprovisioning of virtual tunnels in the network device is incomplete. State parameters between the network device and the peer network device is synchronized. The set of virtual tunnels in the network device is provisioned based on the state parameters. After completion of provisioning of the virtual tunnels, an IP address of the first VTEP is published to underlay network devices connecting the first VTEP to a second VTEP over an underlay network. Subsequently, communication links between the MC-LAG and a host device is enabled.

Abstract: A system for redirecting traffic is provided. The system can allow a first switch to participate in a virtual switch in conjunction with a second switch of an overlay tunnel fabric. A path between a respective switch pair of an underlying network of the fabric can be determined based on a routing process. The first and second switches may individually participate in the routing process. Hence, the packets to a tunnel to the virtual switch can be distributed among paths to the first and second switches. The system can determine a trigger condition indicating that packets subsequently received via the tunnel is to be directed to a path to the second switch. The first and second switches can remain in an operational state. The system can then advertise a high cost for a link to the first switch for the routing process in the underlying network.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to establishing a layer 3 (L3) Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation Group (MC-LAG). In an example, a common IP address and a common MAC address may be associated with a primary network device and a secondary network device. A layer 3 MC-LAG may be established in a multi-homing configuration between the primary network device and the secondary network device to provide a redundant L3 connectivity to a core network device in a network. A dedicated communication link may be established between the primary network device and the secondary network device, for the primary network device and the secondary network device to share network packets.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing a node-level redundant failover-type process with respect to the protocol-independent multicast (PIM) functionality in a multi-chassis environment. When a PIM-related failure occurs on a first network device, but otherwise it remains operational, a second network device is configured to assume responsibility for performing PIM data traffic forwarding. Upon detecting the PIM-related failure of the first network device, the second network device sends a PIM-DR failover event signal to the second network device's PIM module by loading multicast route states used by the first network device into the PIM data traffic forwarding hardware of the second network device. Upon the second network device assuming responsibility, the first network device disables its PIM data traffic forwarding functionality.

Abstract: A method for use in a network, including: receiving network traffic at a redundant gateway device established according to a redundant gateway protocol; forwarding known unicast traffic received at the redundant gateway device from the redundant gateway device to a tunnel endpoint through a tunnel established according to a tunneling protocol; forwarding broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast traffic to the tunnel endpoint through the tunnel if the redundant gateway device is a master gateway under the redundant gateway protocol; and dropping the broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast traffic if the redundant gateway device is a backup gateway under the redundant gateway protocol.

Abstract: An example system in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes an inspection engine and a forwarding engine. The inspection engine is to identify whether a tunneled network packet is associated with the multicast group address and a VNI that is contained in the mapping table. The forwarding engine is to forward or discard the packet in response to whether the VNI is contained in the mapping table.

Abstract: An access switch, which can connect one or more end devices to a network, is provided. During operation, the access switch can identify a multicast flow associated with a multicast group based on one or more packets received at the access switch. The access switch can store a flow identifier of the multicast flow in an entry of a data structure stored in a storage device of the access switch. Subsequently, the access switch can facilitate deep-packet inspection on the multicast flow. To do so, the access switch can determine a set of properties associated with the multicast flow based on a plurality of packets of the multicast group and determine a multicast traffic class for the multicast flow based on the set of properties. The access switch can then store a label identifying the multicast traffic class in the entry of the data structure.
