EVPN/VxLAN Interop – IPv4/IPv6 – MikroTik & IP Infusion
Working with MikroTik and IP Infusion’s OcNOS to interop EVPN/VxLAN has been on my wish list for a long time. Both solutions are a great cost-effective alternative to mainstream vendors ̵…

We didn't know BGP could be so much fun, but look at those faces! @stubarea51.bsky.social, @andylapteff.bsky.social, and Jeff Clark had a blast diving into BGP, and they just scratched the surface. This episode may turn into a series.
New episode drops Wednesday morning.

I've been meaning to get my hands dirty with the #MikroTik EVPN implementation & created an interop lab with #IPInfusion OcNOS
The OcNOS core acts as a BGP route reflector for both the IPv4 & EVPN AFIs which allows the MikroTik routers to create dynamic VTEPs using EVPN.

#MikroTik continues to expand BGP route filtering capabilities.
New in 7.20.x, the input.accept-nlri command allows routes learned to be filtered before they enter memory. Useful if you're taking in a large number of routes and don't need all or most of them.
