This lab guide is intended for administrators who are responsible for deploying and configuring Cisco IOS-XE solutions. Participants should have at least a basic understanding of WLAN concepts. It is assumed that participants have at least a working understanding of fundamental wireless concepts as well as Cisco technology.

This Arista MP-BGP EVPN Lab provides exposure to the new technology and capabilities of the products used. This lab introduces the Arista Cloud Vision Portal(CVP) and introduces students to the basics of building the VXLAN L3LS Underlay, MP-BGP overlay, MLAG, Asymmetric and Symmetric IRB, and eternal L2/L3 connectivity. It also provides an in-depth look at Arista Cloud Vision Portal(CVP) and how to use it for day 0,1 building and day 2 operations. 3 VXLAN EVPN scenarios based on best practices from the Arista design guides, ACE3 course material, Arista TAC support the Arista EOS forum posts. There are many different ways to create an Arista-based VXLAN EVPN fabric; these labs present a migration phase from a standard 3 tier VLAN and SVI-based network to a VXLAN fabric, Then the fabric changes to using Asymmetrical IRB and Symmetrical IRB. BGP routing is the underlay, overlay and connectivity to the remote data center under migration.
