Hi Júlíus,

thank you for your message.

i’ve created again a new zone (new DB from scratch) and do following traffic 
tags:

Physical Network 1, Isolation Method: VXLAN

  *
GUEST (without Label)
  *
MANAGEMENT (brcsmm1)
  *
PUBLIC (without Label)
  *
STORAGE (brdrbd1)

log show: Error: argument "brvxlan1028-1096" is wrong: "name" not a valid 
ifname Failed to create br: brvxlan1028-1096

Failed to create vnet 1096: Error: argument "brvxlan1028-1096" is wrong: "name" 
not a valid 
ifname/usr/share/cloudstack-common/scripts/vm/network/vnet/modifyvlan.sh: line 
59: /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/brvxlan1028-1096/disable_ipv6: No such file or 
directoryCannot find device "brvxlan1028-1096"Failed to create br: 
brvxlan1028-1096

brvxlan1028-1096 - don’t know why this is used or created, brvxlan1028 is 
brcsmm1 with subinterface vxlan1028
1096 is my public guest Network, but i didn’t used it in the wizard.

and i can’t explain why still modifyvlan instead of modifyvxlan is used.
Maybe if NO Traffic Label is set, it uses modifyvlan?

Best Regards,
Jan

Betreff: Re: VXLAN-EVPN Bridge Name and Traffic Labels

Hi Jan,

Max ifname length is 15 characters, so yes. The ifname of
brvxlan1028-1096 is too long.

Did you replace the modify-vxlan.sh with the EVPN-VXLAN version?
Otherwise you're using the multicast version.

I also notice that the modifyvlan.sh (notice vlan, not vxlan) is
executing and trying to create a VLAN on a traditional bridge... That's
probably not what you want. What should happen is that modifyvxlan.sh
should have created another bridge named brvx1096 which should have a
bridge slave of vxlan1096. Names might not be entirely correct but you
probably get what I mean.
