Configure a remote VXLAN fabric policy to provide control-plane peering through the associated border gateway set.
Use this procedure to create a policy that represents a unique remote non-ACI fabric and contains the configuration required for control-plane peering.
A remote VXLAN fabric policy contains the fabric-specific configuration for a remote non-ACI fabric. The policy provides control-plane peering through the associated border gateway set.
Procedure
-
From the top menu bar, choose .
-
In the Remote VXLAN Fabrics work pane, choose .

Note
For an infrastructure peer, enter a TTL value greater than 1.
- In the Peer Address field, enter the peer IP address.
Enter the loopback IP address of the remote Cisco NX-OS border gateway. Cisco ACI uses this address to establish the EVPN control-plane adjacency.
- Optional: In the Description field, enter a description of the remote EVPN peer.
- In the Remote ASN field, enter the autonomous system number of the neighboring autonomous system.
Enter a four-byte autonomous system number in asplain format from 1 through 4294967295.
- In the TTL field, enter the time-to-live value associated with the peer IP address.
