[@AdouYaoMAuriceAmalaman]

great explanation . Thanks alot

[@sagartorase5154]

please make a video for different vlans

[@CCIEOnTheSpectrum]

Sure, very soon

[@ferozsyed2014]

very informative, and kinda confusing so am going to make it lab to see how its going to work.

[@CCIEOnTheSpectrum]

Thanks. Sure practice it. Whats confusing, let me know?

[@ferozsyed2014]

@CCIEOnTheSpectrum confusing part about Route dustinguser and route targets. How does it map Mac to ip and where the encapsulation and decap are happening.

[@CCIEOnTheSpectrum]

Didn't understand your question. RD/RT are just like L3VPN, RT is used to install the routes in right MAC-VRF. VNI information helps for data plane forwarding. Split the concept in 2 parts control plan and data plane, would be easier to understand then.
MAC to IP?? leaf switches don't need to learn about IP in this case, they are just acting like a layer 2 switch as its VXLAN bridging demo.

[@AdouYaoMAuriceAmalaman]

Sir plesae share the PDF i've sent an email to you

[@CCIEOnTheSpectrum]

Sure, i will email you.
