Data Plane
NDFC - Verify

Again, there are two Linux servers connected to your Site1-L1 Ethernet1/5 and Site1-L2 Ethernet1/5 respectively. You will use these to test inter-VXLAN data plane connectivity within the same tenant overlay VRF in your Site1 fabric.

Step 1 - Login to Server1

The first device you will verify is your Site1-S1 switch. Login to your Site1-S1 switch using the copy command below and paste into your VSCode Terminal. When prompted, the password is cisco.123 .

If prompted to accept the RSA key fingerprint like below, type or copy yes then input the password above.

    The authenticity of host '10.3.3.11 (10.3.3.11)' can't be established.
    RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:xneE+2XnZozaXwC/FgeYMRKJ4UhZV4iZD6QCD1u7gi8.
    Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
    Warning: Permanently added '10.3.3.11' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

Step 2 - Server1: Ping Anycast Gateway


ping -c 5 192.168.11.1

Output:

    PING 192.168.11.1 (192.168.11.1): 56 data bytes
    64 bytes from 192.168.11.1: seq=1 ttl=255 time=2.564 ms
    64 bytes from 192.168.11.1: seq=2 ttl=255 time=2.869 ms
    64 bytes from 192.168.11.1: seq=3 ttl=255 time=2.706 ms
    64 bytes from 192.168.11.1: seq=4 ttl=255 time=1.995 ms

    --- 192.168.11.1 ping statistics ---
    5 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 20% packet loss
    round-trip min/avg/max = 1.995/2.533/2.869 ms

Step 3 - Server1: Ping Server2


ping -c 5 192.168.12.22

Output:

    PING 192.168.12.22 (192.168.12.22): 56 data bytes
    64 bytes from 192.168.12.22: seq=1 ttl=63 time=5.697 ms
    64 bytes from 192.168.12.22: seq=2 ttl=63 time=6.548 ms
    64 bytes from 192.168.12.22: seq=3 ttl=63 time=6.437 ms
    64 bytes from 192.168.12.22: seq=4 ttl=63 time=5.979 ms

    --- 192.168.12.22 ping statistics ---
    5 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 20% packet loss
    round-trip min/avg/max = 5.697/6.165/6.548 ms

Step 4 - Server1: Logout
