Guys,
I am struggling with VXLan setup with VPP.
On Linux it's no problem ...
Container 1
sudo ip addr add 172.16.1.2/24 dev veth_link1
sudo ip link set dev veth_link1 up
sudo ip link add vxlan0 type vxlan id 42 remote 172.16.1.3 dev
veth_link1
sudo ip addr add 192.168.1.2 dev vxlan0
sudo ip link set dev vxlan0 up
Container 2
sudo ip addr add 172.16.1.3/24 dev veth_link1
sudo ip link set dev veth_link1 up
sudo ip link add vxlan0 type vxlan id 42 remote 172.16.1.2 dev
veth_link1
sudo ip addr add 192.168.1.3 dev vxlan0
sudo ip link set dev vxlan0 up
Container 1 and 2 are connected on the host with a VPP l2 bridge.
All works fine I can ping from between 172.16.1.2 and 172.16.1.3, 192.168.1.2
and 192.168.1.3.
However when I reconfigure Container 2 to use VPP, as follows.
(delete vxlan0, ip assignments to Linux before I start).
create host-interface name veth_link1
set interface ip address host-veth_link1 172.16.1.3/24
set interface state host-veth_link1 up
At this point, I can ping between 172.16.1.2 and 172.16.1.3.
Still all works fine ... I then create the vxlan tunnel and then bridge
create vxlan tunnel src 172.16.1.3 dst 172.16.1.2 vni 42
set interface l2 bridge host-veth_link1 100
set interface l2 bridge vxlan_tunnel0 100
However when after I create the vxlan tunnel and add it to the a bridge.
Pings in 172.16.1.0/24 stop and I get the following
vagrant@ctwo:~$ sudo tcpdump -i veth_link1 -n
tcpdump: WARNING: veth_link1: no IPv4 address assigned

vni 42
ARP, Request who-has 172.16.1.3 tell 172.16.1.2, length 28
Container 2's ICMP requests for who has 172.16.1.2, are getting encapsulated as
VXLAN.
So Container 1 never responds as owning 172.16.1.2.
172.16.1.2 and 172.16.1.3 should be my VTEPs.
I should be able to ping back and forth between them without encapsulation.
Suspect I am making a simple mistake in my setup, can someone provide guidance.
