Overview

sd Deploying Infra Configuration

This section describes how to deploy the Infra configuration to each NDFC site.

Before you begin

You must have the general and site-specific infra configurations completed as described in the previous sections of this chapter.

Procedure

1.

Ensure that there are no configuration conflicts or resolve them if necessary.

The Deploy button will be disabled and a warning will be displayed if there are any configuration conflicts from the already configured settings in each site. For example, if a VRF or network with the same name exists in multiple sites but uses different VNI in each site.

If configuration conflicts:

  1. Click Click to View the link in the conflict notification pop-up.

  2. Note down the specific configurations that are causing the conflicts.

    For example, in the following report, there are ID mismatches between VRFs and networks in fab1 and fab2 sites.

  3. Click the X button to close the report, then exit Infra configuration screen.

  4. Unmanage the site in NDO, as described in Removing Sites.

    You do not need to remove the site from the Cisco Nexus Dashboard, simply unmanage it in the NDO GUI.

  5. Resolve the existing configuration conflicts.

  6. Manage the site again, as described in Adding Cisco NDFC Sites.

    Since the site is already added in Cisco Nexus Dashboard, simply enable it for management in NDO.

  7. Verify that all conflicts are resolved and the Deploy button is available.
2.

Deploy configuration.

  1. In the top right of the Fabric Connectivity Infra screen, choose the appropriate Deploy option to deploy the configuration.

    If you are configuring only NDFC sites, simply click Deploy to deploy the Infra configuration.

  2. Wait for configuration to be deployed.

    When you deploy infra configuration, NDO signals the NDFC to configure the underlay and the EVPN overlay between the border gateways.

    When configuration is successfully deployed, you see a green check mark next to the site in the Fabric Connectivity Infra screen:
