This Week: Data Center Deployment with EVPN/VXLAN

Deepen your understanding of all the implementation aspects of using EVPN/VXLAN for data center deployments.


This Week: Data Center Deployment with EVPN/VXLAN provides readers with a structured understanding of EVPN/VXLAN technology concepts and how they are implemented. The book includes detailed configuration examples, verification commands, and packet captures to demonstrate different traffic flows within a data center as well as for Data Center Interconnect (DCI). This Week: Data Center Deployment with EVPN/VXLAN contains five full-length case studies complete with illustrations, configurations, and field-tested insights from a senior data center architect.


 When you’re done with this book, you’ll be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals and implementation aspects of using EVPN-VXLAN for data center deployments.

• Design next generation data center architectures.

• Show detailed configuration examples, verification commands, and packet walkthrough examples.


Publication Praise

“Expert guides on the practical applications of EVPN are few and far apart. Deepti brings you up close and personal to this powerful technology applied to the most common data center use cases. Grab your thinking cap and get ready to learn.”
