Regarding EVPN testing Why not taking some vMXes in an VMware or KVM environment, or even vQFX10k All those are able to do EVPN L2 and L3 and with active/active multihoming
I do it since more than a year using different vMX versions Regards Alexander Marhold -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: juniper-nsp [mailto:juniper-nsp-boun...@puck.nether.net] Im Auftrag von James Bensley Gesendet: Dienstag, 10.

Oh well, perhaps I'll pull a > another acx5048 from the warehouse and give it a whirl If you want to practice with EVPN in a non-Juniper environment I think it works on the Cumulus Linux free/demo VM and probably some others like Cisco xrv9k I believe, maybe the latest vMX supports it too? Yeah EVPN has control-plane level MAC learning; from a high level imagine it like a typical layer 3 VPN with IP prefixes being sent in BGP UPDATES just that MACs are sent instead.
