Question

VXLAN on emac

Hi,

We have hypervizors with VXLAN interfaces which are connected over vlan 600. So I created vlan 600 in the fortigate, and vxlan interface on top of that. That part works.

But now the hypervisor vxlan's will have to connect to different vdom's. So one VXLAN terminates in vdom-a while another terminates in vdom-b. Creating emac interfaces on vlan 600 for each vdom did not help,  because VXLAN can't be created on an emac interface.

Any suggestion/experiences on how to go arount this?

Thought of that, but the hypervisors have default gateways in other directions, so would it give many extra routes to administer on the hypervisor to reach all vdom's which are to be expected 40..50 in total (which could maybe solved with dynamic routing)
