Passing VXLAN

Hi all,

I want to ask,but this is my DC backgroud :

- I have 2 DC in my country

- I connect my DC using MPLS L2 VPN

- I use cisco router to routing packet between DC using  EIGRP.

I just newbie for VXLAN and NSX. Is it possible for routing VXLAN packet using my existing topology?

Hi,

It should work fine.

As long as you have mtu 1600 end-to-end. If not you can do a l2 vpn between 2 edges (1 on both sides)

That is the nice thing of vxlan. You do not have to change anything in the underlay (except that you need mtu 1600)
