Hi all,





I find some conflicting rules about interface-to-VRF binding between RFC8529 
and draft-ietf-bess-l2vpn-yang-09.txt.


Thanks Acee for reminding me to check the changes in the new version of these 
documents.


And I update the original mail as below after the checking:    






RULE1: [RFC8529] Section 3.2 says that:


The bind-network-instance-name leaf provides the association between an


   interface and its associated NI (e.g., VRF or VSI). 


RULE2: [draft-ietf-bess-evpn-yang-07] Section 3.3 says that:


     augment 


     /ni:network-instances/ni:network-instance/ni:ni-type/l2vpn:l2vpn:


       +--rw evpn-instance?   evpn-instance-ref


and [draft-ietf-bess-l2vpn-yang-09.txt] Section 3.6.3 says that:


   Each entry in the endpoint list, may hold AC, PW or redundancy-grp


   references.  The core aspect of endpoint container is its flexible


   personality based on what user decides to include in it.  It is


   future-proofed with possible extensions that can be included in the


   endpoint container such as Integrated Route Bridging (IRB), PW


   Headend, Virtual Switch Instance, etc.


 


According to the RULE1, The bind-network-instance-name leaf provides the 
association between an interface and  its associated MAC-VRF or IP-VRF.


According to the RULE2, IRB/AC interface is associated to it's EVPN MAC-VRF via 
the "end-point" entry.


 


So I have the follow two questions:


Question 1: How should I bind an AC to it's EVPN MAC-VRF according to these 
drafts? 


Question 2: How should I bind an IRB interface to it's EVPN MAC-VRF and EVPN 
IP-VRF according to these drafts?


 


For Question 1, my understanding is as below:


I should follow the RULE2 to bind an AC to it's associated EVPN MAC-VRF.


The RULE1 doesn't work for L2VPN ACs,


because if the RULE1 is applied to the association between AC and its 
associated MAC-VRF, 


It should be applied to the association between IRB interface and its 
associated MAC-VRF too.


But obviously the RULE1 should be applied to the association between IRB 
interface and its associated IP-VRF.


 


Consequently, for Question 2, my understanding is as below:


I should follow the RULE1 to bind an IRB to it's associated EVPN IP-VRF.


I should follow the RULE2 to bind an IRB to it's associated EVPN MAC-VRF.


 


Is my understanding correct?

Hi all,


 


I find some conflicting rules about interface-to-VRF binding between 
draft-ietf-rtgwg-ni-model-12 and draft-ietf-bess-l2vpn-yang-09.txt.

 

Not that the NI model has been published as RFC 8529.

Thanks,

Acee

 

 


It is as below:


 


RULE1: [NI-model] Section 3.2 says that:


The bind-network-instance-name leaf provides the association between an


   interface and its associated NI (e.g., VRF or VSI). 


RULE2: [draft-ietf-bess-evpn-yang-06] Section 3.3 says that:


     augment 


     /ni:network-instances/ni:network-instance/ni:ni-type/l2vpn:l2vpn:


       +--rw evpn-instance?   evpn-instance-ref


and [draft-ietf-bess-l2vpn-yang-09.txt] Section 3.6.3 says that:


   Each entry in the endpoint list, may hold AC, PW or redundancy-grp


   references.  The core aspect of endpoint container is its flexible


   personality based on what user decides to include in it.  It is


   future-proofed with possible extensions that can be included in the


   endpoint container such as Integrated Route Bridging (IRB), PW


   Headend, Virtual Switch Instance, etc.
