Mapping VLAN and VNI to a VXLAN Tunnel

To map the VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN. and VNI VXLAN Network Identifier refers to VXLAN network identifier or VXLAN segment ID. to the VXLAN Virtual Extensible LAN creates virtual networks overlaid on a physical network. tunnel, complete the following steps:

  1. In the HPE Aruba Networking Central app, complete the following steps:
    1. Set the filter to a group containing at least one Branch Gateway.
    2. Under Manage, click Devices > Gateways.
    3. Click Config.
  2. If you are in the Basic Mode, click Advanced Mode to access the advanced configuration options.
  3. Click Interface > VXLAN Tunnels. The VXLAN Tunnels page is displayed.
  4. In the VLAN/VNI mappings page, click the + icon.
    The Add VNI table is displayed.

Parameter

Description

VLAN ID

Select a VLAN ID from the list, to on-board the VLAN to the VXLAN tunnel.

Example: 101, 102, and 103.

Virtual network identifier

VNI is auto-generated. For auto-generation of VNI, 1000 is added to the VLAN ID.

Example: If the VLAN ID is 101, the VNI is auto-generated as 10101.

  1. In the drop-down list, select the VLAN ID to on-board the VLAN to the VXLAN tunnel.

  2. Click OK.

  3. Click Save Settings.
