Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) is a tunneling protocol that tunnels Ethernet (layer 2) traffic over an IP (layer 3) network. It solves limitations of traditional Ethernet networks such …

We'll cover everything from basic concepts to advanced EVPN implementations, complete with configuration examples and interactive tools. VXLAN is a network virtualization technology that …

VXLAN is an evolution of efforts to standardize on an overlay encapsulation protocol. Compared to single-tagged IEEE 802.1Q VLANs which provide a limited number of layer-2 VLANs (4094, …

Why VXLAN was invented? To solve VLAN limitations in data centers and cloud, so it can provide scalability by allowing Layer2 encapsulated in UDP or so it extends VLAN.

Feb 11, 2025 · What Is VXLAN? VXLAN, or Virtual Extensible LAN, is a network virtualization technology developed to overcome the limitations of traditional VLANs (Virtual Local Area …

VXLAN defines a MAC-in-UDP encapsulation scheme where the original Layer 2 frame has a VXLAN header added and is then placed in a UDP-IP packet. With this MAC-in-UDP …

May 23, 2025 · VXLAN or Virtual Extensible LAN is an overlay tunnelling scheme where we can extend the layer 2 domain over a layer 3 underlay network.

Aug 29, 2025 · In simpler terms, VXLAN creates a virtual Layer 2 network (an overlay) on top of an existing Layer 3 network (the underlay). This allows devices to communicate as if they were …

Oct 1, 2025 · A VXLAN allows a physical network to be segmented into as many as 16 million virtual, or logical, networks. It encapsulates Layer 2 Ethernet frames into a Layer 4 User …

VXLAN is a powerful tool for extending layer 2 subnets across layer 3 network boundaries. It solves VM portability/vMotion limitations by encapsulating trafic and extending it across L3 …
