Create VXLAN / L2GRE Group

You can create a VXLAN or L2GRE group for a GigaVUE HC Series or a GigaVUE TA Series device and add all the VXLAN IDs or the L2GRE IDs that are specific to the device. You can add a maximum of 1500 IDs per system. To create a VXLAN or L2GRE group:

  1. From the device view, go to Ports > Tunnels > VXLAN / L2GRE Groups.
  2. Click New. The VXLAN / L2GRE Group page appears.
  3. In the Alias and Description fields, enter the name and description of the group.
  4. Select either VXLAN or L2GRE based on the group that you want to create.
  5. From the Box ID drop-down list, select the required box ID of the device for which you want to create the group.
  6. Click Add ID, and then enter the VXLAN ID or L2GRE ID for the device.
  7. Repeat step 6 to add multiple VXLAN IDs or L2GRE IDs for the device, and then click OK.

Note:  Ensure that you create a VXLAN or L2GRE group and add the required IDs to the group before you assign the VXLAN or L2GRE IDs to the map you create for tunnel termination.

The ingress packets to the VXLAN tunnels must have a matching L4 destination port configured without which the packets will be discarded. To configure the L4 Destination Port :

  1. Click Actions on the VXLAN / L2GRE Group page and select Configure VXLAN Global.
  2. Select the required Box ID.
  3. Enter the L4 Destination Port value. Default value is 4789.
  4. Click OK.

Note:  The L4 Destination port is configured globally on the chassis and thus affects all the VXLAN tunnels on the box.
