EVPN-VXLAN with MLAG on Arista: Data Center Fabric Labs

Course Description

In this course, you will learn the advanced data center technologies of Arista Networks, all of which are based on open standards. By completing this course, you will strengthen your network design, configuration, and troubleshooting skills, preparing you for real-world enterprise and data center environments.

What You’ll Learn

We will cover the following technologies in detail:

• LEAF-SPINE architecture and how it differs from traditional network designs

• MLAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation) for Layer 2 redundancy and VARP details

• VXLAN for scalable and modern Layer 2 extension across Layer 3 networks

• EVPN Configuration with route types

All topics are demonstrated in a hands-on lab environment. We have a lab platform that you can buy with low prices chance and test your learning and knowledge there. You will see every configuration step in action, and we will also include troubleshooting exercises to reinforce your understanding.

Course Structure

• Section 1: Introduction and course overview and LEAF-SPINE architecture and comparison with classic three-tier designs

• Section 2: Layer 2 redundancy with MLAG and VARP

• Section 3: EVPN-VXLAN configuration

• Final Section: Building a full-scale topology — configuring underlay protocols and deploying EVPN-VXLAN. By the end, customer devices will communicate within the same broadcast domain across a Layer 3 fabric using VLAN-based VNI extensions.
