Configuring a layer-3 outside interface for tenant networks

We can create three types of interfaces for routing; they are:

• Routed interfaces
• SVIs
• Routed sub-interfaces

We will create one of each!

How to do it…

First, we will create routed interfaces, which are physical interfaces that have an IP address. 

Creating routed interfaces

1. Navigate to TenantA | Networking | External Routed Networks | TenantA-Routed.
2. Expand Logical Node Profiles.

 

 

3. Expand TenantA-Node-Profile.
4. Right-click on Logical Interface Profiles.
5. Select Create Interface Profile.

 

 

6. Name the interface profile and select the interface type (Routed Interface).

7. Click the plus sign to open Select Routed Interface.
8. Select the desired leaf node and interface from the drop-down. This interface would connect to another device, such as a switch or router, with which it would form the BGP peering.

9. Set the IP address (I have chosen 10.2.20.1/24).
10. Set the peer-specific BGP Peer Connectivity Profiles.
11. Click on SUBMIT.
