Automation Transfer of Information

This TOI will walk you through the different steps to automate the creation of a VXLAN-EVPN fabric composed of 2 pods that will share a common underlay and a single EVPN domain as well as the EVPN services and host attachments.

We will use two approaches to achieve the same goal: Arista CloudVision Studios and Arista Validated Design.

A pod is a set of spines and the leafs connecting each other. The 2 pods are interconnected with one link between s1-brdr1 and s2-brdr1 and another link between s1-brdr2 and s2-brdr2.
