Figure 149. Sample Conguration for a VLT Proxy Gateway
Guidelines for Enabling the VLT Proxy Gateway
Keep the following points in mind when you enable a VLT proxy gateway:
• Proxy gateway is supported only for VLT; for example, across a VLT domain.
• You must enable the VLT peer-routing command for the VLT proxy gateway to function.
• Asymmetric virtual local area network (VLAN) conguration, such as the same VLAN congured with Layer 2 (L2) mode on one VLT
domain and L3 mode on another VLT domain is not supported. You must always congure the same mode for the VLANs across the
VLT domain.
• You must maintain VLAN symmetry within a VLT domain.
• The connection between DCs must be a L3 VLT in eVLT format .
• The trace route across the DCs can show extra hops.
• To ensure no trac drops, you must maintain route symmetry across the VLT domains. When the routing table across DCs is not
symmetrical, there is a possibility of a routing miss by a DC that does not have the route for L3 trac. Because routing protocols are
enabled and both DCs are in the same subnet, there is no dynamic route asymmetry. But if you congure a static route on one DC and
not on the other, there is asymmetry.
• If the port-channel specied in the proxy-gateway command is not a VLT LAG, the conguration is rejected by the CLI.
