Step 5
| In the
Create
Routed Outside dialog box, fill in the fields as required, except as
specified below:
- For dynamic
routing, put a check in either the
BGP or
OSPF check box.
For open
shortest path first (OSPF), fill in the additional OSPF-specific fields.
- In the
Private Network drop-down list, choose the private
network with which the device will exchange routes.
- In the
External Routed Domain drop-down list, choose the
external routed domain that you created for route peering.
- In the
Nodes and Interfaces Protocol Profiles section,
click
+.
|
Step 6
| In the
Create
Node Profile dialog box, fill in the fields as required, except as
specified below:
- In the
Nodes section, click
+.
|
Step 7
| In the
Select
Node dialog box, fill in the fields as required, except as specified
below:
- In the
Node
ID drop-down list, choose the node ID where the device is
connected.
-
For
physical devices, the ID should be the node where the physical device is
connected to the fabric.
-
For
virtual devices, the ID should be the node where the server hosting the virtual
machine is connected.
- In the
Router ID field, enter a router ID that the
ACI
fabric will use for the routing protocol process.
- If you are
planning to use static routing between the
ACI
fabric and device, in the
Static Routes section click
+. Otherwise, go to step
Step 10.
|
Step 8
| In the
Create
Static Route dialog box, fill in the fields as required, except as
specified below:
- In the
Prefix section, enter a prefix for the static route.
- In the
Next
Hop Addresses section, click
+.
- Enter the
next hop IP address for the static route.
- Click
Update.
|
Step 9
| Click
OK.
|
Step 10
| In the
Select
Node dialog box, click
OK.
|
Step 11
| If you are
using BGP as the dynamic routing protocol with the device, in the
BGP
Peer Connectivity Profiles section, click
+. Otherwise, go to step
Step 14.
|
Step 12
| In the
Create
Peer Connectivity Profile dialog box, fill in the fields as
required, except as specified below:
- In the
Peer Address field, enter a peer address, which
should be an IP address on the device with which the BGP session will be
established.
|
Step 13
| In the
Create
Peer Connectivity Profile dialog box, click
OK.
|
Step 14
| In the
Interface Profiles section, click
+.
|
Step 15
| In the
Create
Interface Profile dialog box, fill in the fields as required.
- If you
are using OSPF as the dynamic routing protocol, enter the OSPF profile
information.
|
Step 16
| In the
Interface section, choose the
SVI tab.
|
Step 17
| In the
Interface section, click
+.
|
Step 18
| In the
Select
SVI Interface dialog box, fill in the fields as required, except as
specified below:
- For the
Path Type radio buttons, choose the type that
matches how the device is connected to the fabric.
- In the
Path drop-down list, choose the path where the
device is connected to the fabric.
-
For
physical devices, this is the path where the physical device is connected to
the fabric.
-
For
virtual devices, this is the path where the server that is hosting the virtual
machine is connected.
- In the
Encap field, specify the encapsulation VLAN.
- In the
IP
Address field, specify the IP address to use on the fabric SVI
interface.
- In the
MTU (bytes) field, specify the maximum transmission
unit size, in bytes.
The default value is "inherit", which uses a default value of
"9000" on the
ACI
and typically a default value of "1500" on the remote device. Having different
MTU values can cause issues when peering between the
ACI
and the remote device. If the remote device's MTU value is set to "1500", then
set the MTU value on the remote device's
L3Out object to "9000" to match the
ACI's
MTU value.

Step 19
| Click
OK.
|
Step 20
| In the
Create
Interface Profile dialog box, click
OK.
|
Step 21
| In the
Create
Node Profile dialog box, click
OK.
|
Step 22
| In the
Create
Routed Outside dialog box, click
Next.
|
Step 23
| In the
External EPG Networks section, click
+.
|
Step 24
| In the
Create
External Network dialog box, fill in the fields as required, except
as specified below:
- In the
Subnet section, click
+.
|
Step 25
| In the
Create
Subnet dialog box, fill in the fields as required, except as
specified below:
- In the
IP
Address field, enter the IP address or subnet mask.
The
subnet mask is equivalent to a network statement that is defined in a
traditional routing protocol configuration.
|
Step 26
| Click
OK.
|
Step 27
| (Optional) Create
additional subnets as needed.
|
Step 28
| In the
Create
External Network dialog box, click
OK.
|
Step 29
| In the
Create
Routed Outside dialog box, click
Finish.
