Status

  • Spine1 & Spine2: EVPN activation fix applied ✓
  • Leaf1, Leaf2, Leaf5, Leaf6: Working correctly (Established) ✓
  • Leaf3, Leaf4, Leaf7, Leaf8: Still in Active state - need lab redeploy

Root Cause

Leaf3, Leaf4, Leaf7, Leaf8 configs in repository already have the EVPN activation fix, but the running lab instances have old configs that don't have it.

Solution

Redeploy the lab to load the updated configs:

cd ~/arista-evpn-vxlan-clab
sudo containerlab destroy -t evpn-lab.clab.yml --cleanup
sudo containerlab deploy -t evpn-lab.clab.yml

After redeploy, all EVPN neighbors should be Established immediately.

Fixed Configs

  • spine1.cfg: EVPN activation added
  • spine2.cfg: EVPN activation added
  • leaf3.cfg: EVPN activation present
  • leaf4.cfg: EVPN activation present
  • leaf7.cfg: EVPN activation present
  • leaf8.cfg: EVPN activation present
  • evpn-lab.clab.yml: Host VLAN tagging fixed
