Benefits Overview Geographically dispersed data centers provide added application resiliency and workload allocation flexibility. To this end, the network must provide Layer 2, Layer 3 and storage connectivity between data centers. Connectivity must be provided without compromising the autonomy of data centers or the stability of the overall network. OTV provides an operationally optimized solution for the extension of Layer 2 connectivity across any transport. OTV is therefore critical to the effective deployment of distributed data centers to support application availability and flexible workload mobility. OTV is a "MAC address in IP" technique for supporting Layer 2 VPNs to extend LANs over any transport. The transport can be Layer 2 based, Layer 3 based, IP switched, label switched, or anything else as long as it can carry IP packets. By using the principles of MAC routing, OTV provides an overlay that enables Layer 2 connectivity between separate Layer 2 domains while keeping these domains independent and preserving the fault-isolation, resiliency, and load-balancing benefits of an IPbased interconnection. Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV) provides the following benefits: • Scalability Extends Layer 2 LANs over any network that supports IP (Transport agnostic) Designed to scale across multiple data centers • Simplicity Supports transparent deployment over existing network without redesign Requires minimal configuration commands • Resiliency Preserves existing Layer 3 failure boundaries Includes built-in loop prevention Failure boundary preservation and site independence preservation (failover isolation between data centers) • Efficiency Optimized available bandwidth, by using equal-cost multi-pathing and optimal multicast replication Multipoint connectivity Fast failover • Virtual Machine Mobility © 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 3

Benefits Overview Additional benefits of using OTV for Layer 2 extension: • No need for Ethernet over Multiprotocol Label Switching (Eo. MPLS) or Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) deployment for Layer 2 extensions • Use any network transport that supports IP • Provision of Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity using the same dark fiber connections • Native Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) isolation: No need to explicitly configure Bridge Data Protocol Unit (BPDU) filtering • Native unknown unicast flooding isolation: Unknown unicast not sent to the overlay • Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) optimization with the OTV ARP cache • Simplified provisioning of First Hop Redundancy Protocol (FHRP) isolation • Simplified addition of sites © 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Additional Features, Terminology, & Components Feature Overview Edge Device The OTV Edge Devices performs OTV functions, multiple OTV Edge Devices can exist at each site. OTV requires the Transport Services (TRS) license. If you create the OTV Edge Device in a non default VDC; it requires the Advanced Services license. Internal Interfaces Internal interfaces are the site facing interfaces of the Edge device; carrying VLANs extended through OTV. They are regular Layer 2 interfaces, switch ort mode trunk, and typically port channels in a v. PC. No OTV configuration is required on these interfaces. Join Interfaces Join interfaces are one of the uplink of the Edge device; they are Layer 3 point-to-point routed interfaces (physical interface, port channel, or sub-interface). Its used to physically ‘join’ the Overlay network. No OTV specific configuration required. Overlay Interface Virtual interface is where most of the OTV configuration happens, logical multi-access multicast-capable interface, encapsulates Layer 2 frames in IP unicast or multicast. Authoritative Edge Device (AED) The AED is responsible for MAC address advertisement for its VLANs; forwarding its VLANs traffic inside and outside the site. The extended VLANs are split across the AEDs (even & odd) in OTV multi-homing. Site VLAN The OTV Site VLAN is used to discover OTV neighbor edge devices in same local site. Site Identifier Same site Edge devices must use a common unique Site ID is included in the control plane; an overlay will not come up until a Site ID is configured; and should be on all local OTV Edge devices. MTU Join interfaces and neighboring Core interfaces need to have MTU of ≥ 1542 (hard requirement). Best practice to the max possible MTU size supported by the transport FHRP Isolation Filtering FHRP messages across the OTV Overlay allows to provide the same active default gateway in each data center site. Note, in future releases OTV will offer a simple command to enable these filtering capabilities. SVI Separation OTV currently enforces SVI separation for the VLANs being extended across the OTV link, meaning OTV is usually in its own VDC for OTV functions and have SVIs in another Aggregation VDC. © 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Additional Features, Terminology, & Components Feature Overview OTV Requirements Nexus 7000 Series or ASR routers. LAN ADVANCED SERVICES (VDC) license & TRANSPORT SERVICES (OTV/LISP) license. An M-Series line card is required in the OTV VDC for OTV functions. Multicast Transport Multicast transport (OTV Control Plane) is ideal for connecting a higher number of sites. OTV Neighbor relationships are built over a multicast enabled core / transport infrastructure. All OTV edge devices can be configured to join a specific ASM (Any Source Multicast) group where they simultaneously play the role of receiver and source. Edge devices join a multicast group; adjacencies are maintained over that multicast group and a single update reaches all neighbors. Unicast Transport Supported since NX-OS release 5. 2. Unicast-only transport (OTV Control Plane) is ideal for connecting a small number of sites. Requires the adjacency server. Each OTV devices would need to create multiple copies of each control plane packet and unicast them to each remote OTV device part of the same logical overlay. Adjacency Server Used in OTV Unicast mode; usually enabled on an OTV Edge device; can have a primary and secondary; and all other OTV Edge client devices are configured with the address of the adjacency server. The goal is to be able to communicate with all the remote OTV devices, each OTV node needs to know a list of neighbors to replicate the control packets to. Rather than statically configuring in each OTV node the list of all neighbors, a simple dynamic means is used to provide this information; this adjacency server. OTV Extend VLAN Enables OTV advertisements for those VLANs. OTV will not forward Layer 2 packets for VLANs not in the extended VLAN range for the overlay interface. Assign a VLAN to only one overlay interface. OTV Authentication OTV supports authentication of Hello messages along with authentication of PDUs. Dual Homed OTV Edge Devices Leverage v. PC or v. PC+ for dual homed OTV Edge devices. The concept of the AED role along with the site vlan allows multi-homing OTV Edge devices. © 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 10

Additional Features, Terminology, & Components Feature Overview Selective Unicast Flooding In 6. 2(2); some applications rely on unknown unicast frames; so selective unicast flooding can be enabled on a per mac address per vlan to accommodate silent or uni-directional hosts. OTV default behavior is no unknown unicast forwarding. Command used: otv flood mac [xxxx. yyyy. zzzz] vlan [#] Dedicated Data Broadcast Forwarding In 6. 2(2); Dedicated broadcast group is a configurable option; useful for Qo. S purposes. A dedicated multicast group can be configured for all broadcast transmission in an OTV overlay that utilizes multicast transmission on the underlying OTV network. By default, the broadcast and control traffic will share the same multicast group address. The broadcast group needs to be configured on all OTV Edge devices connected to the OTV overlay network. Source Interface with Loopback In 6. 2(2)+ maintenance release; Logical interfaces as Join Interfaces; Loopback to guarantee interfaces is up/up. An OTV Edge device can be configured to use a loopback interface as the join-interface for an OTV overlay to increase availability. This feature requires the OTV Edge device to participate in the core PIM multicast domain to support multiple paths. Prior to this feature only single homed Ethernet and port channel interface options were available. OTV VLAN Translation In 6. 2(2); VLAN translation allows OTV to map a local VLAN (in DC 1) to a remote VLAN (in DC 2). In previous NX-OS releases, the extended VLANs had to be identical in each site (ie. X to X). With the VLAN mapping feature, VLANs can be translated, so they can be different in each site (ie. X to Y to Z) providing more flexible deployment options. Both multicast and unicast enabled IP core networks are supported. VLAN mappings have a one-to-one relationship. © 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 11

NOTES OTV Configuration § The Layer 2 links are known as internal interfaces and are used by the OTV edge device to learn the MAC addresses of the site and forward Layer 2 traffic across the sites for the extended VLANs. § The Layer 3 link is known as the join interface, which OTV uses to perform IP-based virtualization to § Site ID 1 Site VLAN 99 • • § send and receive overlay traffic between sites. The IP address of this interface is used to advertise reachability of a MAC addresses present in the site. There is one Join interface per OTV Overlay; however, if multiple Layer 3 interfaces are present on the OTV edge device, the unicast extended traffic can get routed over any of these links OTV encapsulates packets into an IP header and where it sets the Don't Fragment (DF) bit for all OTV control and data packets crossing the transport network. The encapsulation adds 42 bytes to the original IP maximum transition unit (MTU) size. So it is a best practice to configure the join interface and all Layer 3 interfaces that face the IP core between the OTV edge devices with the max possible MTU size supported by the transport. OTV uses site VLAN to allow multiple OTV edge devices within the site to talk to each other and determine the AED for the OTV-extended VLANs. It is a best practice to use a dedicated VLAN as site VLAN. The site VLAN should not be extended and should be carried down to the aggregation layer across the VPC peer link. The OTV edge device is also configured with the overlay interface, which is associated with the join interface to provide connectivity to the physical transport network. The overlay interface is used by OTV to send and receive Layer 2 frames encapsulated in IP packets. From the perspective of MACbased forwarding on the site, the overlay interface is simply another bridged interface. However, no Spanning Tree Protocol packets or unknown unicast packets are forwarded over the overlay interface. Note: The overlay interface does not come up until you configure a multicast group address and the site-VLAN has at least an active port on the device. A VLAN is not advertised on the overlay network; therefore, forwarding cannot occur over the overlay network unless the VLANs are explicitly extended. Once the VLAN is extended, the OTV edge device will begin advertising locally learned MAC addresses on the overlay network. Key advantages of using multicast is that it allows optimal multicast traffic replication to multiple sites and avoids head-end replication that leads to suboptimal bandwidth utilization. © 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. • • When sites are multihomed with OTV EDs, separation is achieved by electing an authoritative edge device (AED) for each VLAN in the same site (site-id), which is the only device that can forward the traffic for the extended VLAN inside and outside the data center. The extended VLANs are split in odd and even and automatically assigned to the site's edge devices. The multicast control group identifies the overlay; two different overlays must have two different multicast control groups. The control group is used for neighbor discovery and to exchange MAC address reachability. The data group however is an SSM (Source Specific Group) group range, which is used to carry multicast data traffic generated by the sites In the aggregation layer, Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) is configured on all intra- and inter-data-center Layer 3 links to allow multicast states to be built in the core network. Since PIM sparse mode requires a rendezvous point (RP) to build a multicast tree, one of the aggregation switches in each data center is used as an RP. Local RP allows both local sources and receivers to join local RP rather than having to go to different data center to reach an RP in order to build a shared tree.

All rights reserved. Primary Adjacency Server : : Join Interface [x] Secondary Adjacency Server : : Join Interface [y] Two pieces of configuration are required to deploy OTV across a unicast-only transport infrastructure: first, it is required to define the role of Adjacency Server; whereas the other piece of configuration is required in each OTV edge device not acting as an Adjacency Server (i. e acting as a client). All client OTV edge devices are configured with the address of the Adjacency Server. All other adjacency addresses are discovered dynamically. Thereby, when a new site is added, only the OTV edge devices for the new site need to be configured with the Adjacency Server addresses. No other sites need additional configuration. The recommendation is usually to deploy a redundant pair of Adjacency Servers in separate DC sites. The configuration on the Primary Adjacency Server is very simple and limited to enable AS functionality (otv adjacencyserver command). The same command is also required on the Secondary Adjacency Server device, but also needs to point to the Primary AS (leveraging the otv use-adjacency-server command). Finally, the generic OTV Edge Device must be configured to use both the Primary and Secondary Adjacency Servers. The sequence of adjacency server address in the configuration determine primary or secondary adjacency server role. This order is relevant since an OTV edge device will always use the OTV neighbor-list (o. NL) provided by the Primary Adjacency Server, unless it detects that specific device is not available anymore (control plane Hellos are always exchanged as keepalives between each OTV device and the Adjacency Servers). 26

All rights reserved. The filtering of FHRP messages across the overlay is a critical functionality to be enabled, because it allows applying the same FHRP configuration in different sites. The end result is that the same default gateway is available (i. e. characterized by the same virtual IP and virtual MAC addresses) in each data center. This capability optimizes the outbound traffic flows (server to client direction); but this does not solve the mechanism to control and improve the ingress traffic (client to server direction) as traffic will continue to go via the original DC; solutions to solve this challenge include DNS Based, Route Injection, or LISP. The VLAN ACL is required to identify the traffic that needs to be filtered. This configuration applies to the HSRP v 1 & v 2 (bold) protocols. After applying the configuration on the OTV VDC to the set of VLANs that are trunked from the Agg VDC to the OTV VDC, all HSRP messages will be dropped once received by the OTV VDC. It is also required to apply a specific filter to ensure suppression of the Gratuitous ARP (GARP) messages that may be received across the OTV Overlay from the remote sites. Even though HSRP traffic is filtered via the VACL, the v. MAC used to source the HSRP packets is still learned by the OTV VDC. Therefore, OTV advertises this MAC address information to the other sites via an IS-IS update. While this in itself is not causing harm, it would cause the remote OTV the edge devices to see constant MAC moves happening for the v. MAC (from the internal interface to the overlay interface and vice versa). § § § IP ACL's to drop HSRP Hellos and forward other traffic MAC ACL's to drop non-IP HSRP traffic and forward other traffic Create the VACL & apply the VACL to each extended vlan Feature dhcp required for ARP inspection & create the ARP access-list to deny traffic from the Virtual MAC & apply ARP ACL to each extended VLAN Create mac-list to deny advertising of virtual MAC, create the route-map, and apply the route -map to each overlay 27

Any unknown unicast messages that reach the OTV edge device are blocked from crossing the logical overlay, allowing OTV to prevent Layer 2 faults from spreading to remote sites. The end points connected to the network are assumed to not be silent or unidirectional. However, some data center applications require the unknown unicast traffic to be flooded over the overlay to all the data centers, where end points may be silent. Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 6. 2(2), you can configure selective unicast flooding to flood the specified destination MAC address to all other edge devices in the OTV overlay network with that unknown unicast traffic. © 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Strong Recommendations and Key Notes § OTV encapsulation is done on M-series modules § Note: The control-plane protocol used by OTV is IS-IS. However, IS-IS does not need to be explicitly configured. It runs in the background once OTV is enabled. § In a multi-tenancy environment, the same OTV VDC can be configured with multiple overlays to provide a segmented Layer 2 extension for different tenants or applications. § When multiple data center sites are interconnected, the OTV operations can benefit from the presence of multicast in the core. Multicast is not mandatory in most OTV topologies (number of sites) since you can use the unicast-mode as well. § The same OTV VDCs can be used by multiple VDCs deployed at the aggregation tier, as well as by other Layer 2 switches connected to the OTV VDCs. This is done by configuring multiple OTV overlays. It's important to note that the extended VLANs within these multiple overlays should not overlap. § A separate Layer 3 link between the two aggregation VDCs should be configured as per best practices to carry any Layer 3 traffic between them. § The overlay interface will not come up until you configure a multicast group address and the site-VLAN has at least an active port on the OTV edge device. § Support for loopback interfaces as OTV Join interfaces is planned for 6. 2(2) and later code releases. © 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Strong Recommendations and Key Notes § FHRP Filtering Note: It is important to stress how this outbound path (server to client) optimization functionality should be deployed in conjunction with an equivalent one optimizing inbound traffic (client to server) flows to avoid asymmetric traffic behavior (this would be highly undesirable especially in deployments leveraging stateful services across data centers). White Paper discussing inbound traffic optimization solutions : : http: //www. cisco. com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Data_Center/DCI/4. 0/EMC. pdf § It is important to note how OTV support requires the use of the new Transport Services (TRS) license. Depending on the specifics of the OTV deployment, the Advanced License may be required as well to provide Virtual Device Contexts (VDCs) support. § Before configuring OTV you should review and implement Cisco recommended STP best practices at each site. OTV is independent from STP but it greatly benefits from a stable and robust Layer 2 topology. § If the data centers are OTV multi-homed, it is a recommended best practice to bring the Overlay up in single-homed configuration first, by enabling OTV on a single edge device at each site. After the OTV connection has been tested in as single-homed, then enable the functionality on the other edge devices of each site. § OTV currently enforces switch-virtual-interface (SVI) separation for the VLANs being extended across the OTV link, meaning that OTV is usually in its own VDC. With the VDC license on the Cisco Nexus 7000 you have the flexibility to have SVIs in other VDCs and have a dedicated VDC for OTV functions. § Configure the join interface and all Layer 3 interfaces that face the IP core between the OTV edge devices with the highest maximum transmission unit (MTU) size supported by the IP core. OTV sets the Don't Fragment (DF) bit in the IP header for all OTV control and data packets so the core cannot fragment these packets. © 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 33

Strong Recommendations and Key Notes § With NX-OS 6. 1 and earlier: Only one join interface can be specified per overlay; two methods are available Configure a single join-interface, which is shared across multiple overlays Configure a different join interface for each overlay, which increases the OTV reliability § For a higher resiliency, you can use a port-channel, but it is not mandatory. There are no requirements for 1 Gigabit. Ethernet versus 10 Gigabit-Ethernet or dedicated versus shared mode. § The transport network must support PIM sparse mode (ASM) or PIM-Bidir multicast traffic. § OTV is compatible with a transport network configured only for IPv 4. IPv 6 is not supported. § Do not enable PIM on the join-interface. § Do not configure OTV on an F-series module. § Ensure the site identifier is configured and is the same for all edge devices on a site. OTV brings down all overlays when a mismatched site identifier is detected from a neighbor edge device and generates a system message. § Mixing the Nexus 7000 and the ASR 1000 devices for OTV is not supported at this time when the devices will be placed within the same site. However, using Cisco Nexus 7000 s in one site and Cisco ASR 1000 s at another site for OTV is fully supported. For this scenario, please keep the separate scalability numbers in mind for the two different devices, because you will have to account for the lowest common denominator. § Starting in NX-OS 5. 2, the site-id command was introduced as a way to harden multihoming for OTV. It is a configurable option that must be the same for devices within the same data center and different between any devices that are in different data centers. It specifies which site a particular OTV device is in so that two OTV devices in different sites cannot join each other as a multihomed site. This command is now mandatory. © 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 34

Strong Recommendations and Key Notes § Using Virtual Port Channels (v. PCs) and OTV together provides an extra layer of resiliency and is thus recommended as a best practice. § OTV & Fabric. Path: Because OTV encapsulation is done on M-series modules, OTV cannot read Fabric. Path packets. Because of this restriction, terminating Fabric. Path and reverting to Classical Ethernet where the OTV VDC resides is necessary. In addition, when running Fabric. Path in your network, we highly recommend that you use the spanning-tree domain <id> command on all devices that are participating in these VLANs. This command speeds up convergence times greatly. © 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 35

Step 1 : : The Layer 2 frame is received at the aggregation layer or OTV Edge Device. A traditional Layer 2 lookup is performed, the MAC for Host B’s information in the MAC table does not point to a local Ethernet interface (as you would see in intra-site communication); but to the IP address of the remote OTV Edge Device that advertised that MAC’s reachability information. Step 2 : : The OTV Edge Device encapsulates the original Layer 2 Frame; with is the source IP of the outer header of the local Join interface & the destination IP which is the IP address of the remote Edge Device Join interface. Step 3 : : The OTV encapsulated frame (a regular unicast IP packet) is carried across the transport infrastructure and delivered to the remote OTV Edge Device. Step 4 : : The remote OTV Edge Device decapsulates the frame exposing the original Layer 2 packet. Step 5 : : The OTV Edge Device performs another Layer 2 lookup on the original Ethernet frame and discovers that it is reachable through a physical interface, which means it is a MAC address local to the site. Step 6 : : The frame is then delivered to the MAC destination of Host B © 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 37
