VIAVI TestCenter: Does VIAVI's VXLAN implementation support flood lists for BUM traffic?
• VIAVI TestCenter VXLAN implementation does not support manual flood list configuration to forward BUM traffic.
• VIAVI TestCenter acts as traffic generator not forwarder.
• For BUM traffic, the multicast group address for VXLAN segment (learning type: Multicast) is used as destination VTEP address.
• Its DUT’s responsibility to forward the traffic to all VTEP devices that have subscribed to this multicast address.
• To test flood list VIAVI TestCenter VTEPs can be configured and added in DUT’s flood list, STC can generate BUM traffic and DUT should be also able to forward this traffic to the VIAVI TestCenter VTEPs present in flood list configured.
