Abstract
Disclosed are a method and a device for controlling an EVPN route. According to an example of the method, when receiving an EVPN route from a second VTEP device, a first VTEP device checks whether the EVPN route carries a role attribute. When determining that the EVPN route carries a role attribute and the carried role attribute is a specified first role attribute value, the first VTEP device controls the distribution of the EVPN route according to a set route synchronization control strategy.
Claims17
A method of controlling an Ethernet Virtual Private Networks (EVPN) route, comprising:
- receiving, by a first Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network Tunnel End Point (VTEP) device, an EVPN route from a second VTEP device;
- checking, by the first VTEP device, whether the EVPN route carries a role attribute;
- and
- controlling, by the first VTEP device, distribution of the EVPN route according to a set route synchronization control strategy when determining that the EVPN route carries a role attribute and the carried role attribute has a specified first role attribute value.
A device for controlling an Ethernet Virtual Private Networks (EVPN) route, the device being applied to a first Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network Tunnel End Point (VTEP) device and comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory storage medium storing machine-executable instructions, wherein by reading and executing the machine-executable instructions, the processor is caused to:
- receive an EVPN route from a second VTEP device;
- check whether the EVPN route carries a role attribute;
- and
- control distribution of the EVPN route according to a set route synchronization control strategy when determining that the EVPN route carries a role attribute and the carried role attribute has a specified first role attribute value.
