Hi Alexei, I support using mcast group for all VNIs in control plane/data plane. But in case there is no mcast routing enabled, I need to support P2P vxlan underlay, hence use of the configuration I showed.
Thanks for the confirmation. By the way, any informational doc I can read to know about the metadata mode of vxlan?

Also sounds like for each vni you'd need a different multicast group?
