📝 Description

This video details the process of configuring external connectivity from a VXLAN EVPN fabric to an external router utilizing Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC). The configuration automates the integration using VRF Lite and eBGP as the routing protocol between the Border Leaf switches and the external router. The demonstration covers the creation of an External Fabric, the addition of the edge router, and setting up the eBGP peering within the appropriate VRF context.

The automation workflow within NDFC is highlighted, showcasing how the system handles the Border Leaf handoff, deploys Policy-Based Route Advertisement via configuration templates, and validates the resulting North-South connectivity through end-to-end ping verification. A key learning point is observing how NDFC automatically converts trunk ports to routed ports during the integration process, aiming for a zero manual CLI approach for fabric extension.
