Describes how disabling dataplane IP address learning affects the behavior of other network features. This information helps administrators understand potential impacts on traffic flow and endpoint tracking.
This reference details the functional interactions between disabling dataplane IP address learning and features such as Anycast, Rogue Endpoint Detection, and Layer 4 to Layer 7 services.
The following list outlines the behavior of specific features when dataplane IP address learning is enabled or disabled:
-
Anycast: When enabled, local anycast IP addresses are learned from both data and control planes. When disabled, local anycast IP addresses are aged out but remain learnable through the control plane and host tracking; remote IP addresses are not learned in anycast regardless of configuration.
-
Rogue Endpoint Detection: When enabled, rogue IP addresses are generated and moves are detected. When disabled, remote IP addresses are flushed, rogue IP addresses are aged out, and rogue detection on local moves is inactive; only control traffic moves are detected.
-
Layer 4 to Layer 7 services virtual IP (VIP) address: When enabled, the VIP address functions as expected with learning occurring only through the control plane. When disabled, remote IP addresses for the VIP are cleared, requiring spine-proxy look-ups or glean-based learning through the control plane.
