Step 1: Take one more host say 6.6.6.2/24
Let’s assign 6.6.6.2/24 to interface eth1/21 of NX-Sw which is directly connected to eth1/11 of Leaf5.
Sw1# show run int eth1/21
interface Ethernet1/21
no switchport
vrf member POC2
ip address 6.6.6.2/24
no shutdown
Step 2: Create BD name “POC1-BD2”
Step 3: Create EPG “POC1-EPG2” and put this in “POC1-BD2”
Step 4: Add physical domain and create static port binding
Step 5: Now let’s do physical binding of Leaf 5 port eth1/11
Create interface Profile for port 11 say “11”
Step 6: Now attach this interface profile with Leaf 5
Step 7: Ping Host to it’s Gw
Sw1# show run int eth1/21
interface Ethernet1/21
no switchport
vrf member POC2
ip address 6.6.6.1/24
no shutdown
Sw1# ping 6.6.6.6 vrf POC2
PING 6.6.6.6 (6.6.6.6): 56 data bytes
36 bytes from 6.6.6.1: Destination Host Unreachable
Request 0 timed out
64 bytes from 6.6.6.6: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=1.473 ms
64 bytes from 6.6.6.6: icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=1.014 ms
64 bytes from 6.6.6.6: icmp_seq=3 ttl=63 time=1.043 ms
64 bytes from 6.6.6.6: icmp_seq=4 ttl=63 time=1.128 ms
--- 6.6.6.6 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 20.00% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 1.014/1.164/1.473 ms
Step 8: Now to ping hosts between two EPG we need a contract.
Let’s Create Contract
Note: By Default, "Reverse Filter Ports" is selected.
Step 9: Attach provider contract to EPG1
And consumer contract in EPG2
Sw1# ping 3.3.3.1 vrf POC2
PING 3.3.3.1 (3.3.3.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 3.3.3.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=252 time=2.078 ms
64 bytes from 3.3.3.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=252 time=1.721 ms
64 bytes from 3.3.3.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=252 time=1.786 ms
64 bytes from 3.3.3.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=252 time=1.93 ms
64 bytes from 3.3.3.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=252 time=1.863 ms
--- 3.3.3.1 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0.00% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 1.721/1.875/2.078 ms
Sw1# ping 6.6.6.1 vrf POC1
PING 6.6.6.1 (6.6.6.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 6.6.6.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=252 time=2.154 ms
64 bytes from 6.6.6.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=252 time=2.26 ms
64 bytes from 6.6.6.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=252 time=2.038 ms
64 bytes from 6.6.6.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=252 time=1.946 ms
64 bytes from 6.6.6.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=252 time=1.728 ms
--- 6.6.6.1 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0.00% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 1.728/2.025/2.26 ms
So, we could see traffic is flowing bidirectional
It worked, why?
Reverse Filter Port is check
