Configure border leaf connectivity to external networks using VRF Lite with automated compliance and health monitoring.
Border leaf switches (like Site1-BL1) provide Layer 3 connections to networks outside the VXLAN EVPN fabric, enabling north-south traffic using technologies such as VRF Lite for external routing.
Nexus Dashboard simplifies external connectivity by automating configuration for supported devices (Nexus, ASR9000, NCS5500) and ensuring ongoing compliance and health checks for external connections.
External Fabrics extend VRFs to external devices, following Cisco best practices for scalable and reliable data center connectivity. This setup is essential for connecting your VXLAN fabric to the broader network.
