The following recipe may configurs a vxlan tunnel between a linux host and an Aruba switch.

• ( Example source )

• Create vxlan device vxlan0 with vxlan network identifier 42, remote tunnel host ip and (default) port 4789:

  sudo ip link add vxlan0 type vxlan id 42 dev eth1 remote 158.38.153.170 dstport 4789

• Assign ip vtep address and turn up interface:

  ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev vxlan0  
  ip link set up dev vxlan0

• Prerequisits
  • Need vlan with static IP, i.e. vlan 2 for port 2 with IP

    (config)# interface 2 untagged vlan 2
    (config)# vlan 2 ip address 158.38.153.141

  • (The IP set above cannot be on a the same subnet as other IP's set in the switch.)

• Enter configuration and enable vxlan tunnels:

  # configure
  (config)# vxlan enable

• Create virtual network an associate network id 42 and Vlan 2

  (config)# virtual-network 42 2 "Vxlan-net1"

• Untested example commands from hp document

  vxlan enable
  virtual-network 200 50 "vni200"
  interface tunnel 13
    tunnel name "VXLAN_Tunnel02"
    tunnel mode vxlan
    tunnel source 10.2.10.2
    tunnel destination 10.220.0.2
    exit
  vxlan tunnel 13 overlay-vlan 50
