This page explains an configuration for EVPN. Note that the feature is still very experimental.
Some route types requires to specify Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI) for its argument. The supported ESI types and their formats are the following.
| Type | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | single-homed | Reserved keyword for arbitrary ESI type to denote a single-homed site. |
| 0 | 0 | The same with "single-homed". |
| 0 | ARBITRARY <Value> | Arbitrary ESI type with arbitrary value. Value should be colon separated hex values (similar to MAC address). |
| 1 | LACP <MAC> <Port Key> | Type for LACP configured segment. |
| 2 | MSTP <MAC> <Priority> | Type for L2 bridge protocol (e.g., Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol) configured segment. |
| 3 | MAC <MAC> <Discriminator> | Type for ESI based on MAC address. |
| 4 | ROUTERID <Router ID> <Discriminator> | Type for ESI based on Router ID. |
| 5 | AS <AS> <Discriminator> | Type for ESI based on AS number. |

$ gobgp global rib -a evpn del i-pmsi etag 200 rd 1.1.1.1:65000The router-mac option in gobgp CLI allows sending Router's
MAC Extended Community via BGP EVPN Type 2 and Type 5 advertisements.
As explained in below RFC draft, this community is used to carry the MAC address of the VTEP where MAC-IP pair resides.
For example, GoBGP router (R1) peers with Cisco router (R2). R1 is used by an orchestraction platform, e.g. OpenStack, Docker Swarm, etc., to advertise container MAC-IP bindings. When R1 advertises the binding it also sets next hop for the route as the host where the MAC-IP binding (i.e. container) resides. When R2 receives the route, it will not install it unless Router's MAC Extended Community is present. R2 will use the MAC address in the community to create an entry in MAC address table of R2 pointint to NVE interface.

router-mac e9:72:d7:aa:1f:b4In the above example, a host with IP of 10.10.10.10 runs a
container connected to an Open vSwitch instance. The container's IP
address is 172.16.100.100 and MAC address e9:72:d7:aa:1f:b4.
The Open vSwitch is VTEP with tunnel_key=34567, i.e. VNID 34567.
GoBGP (R1) and Cisco (R2) routers are in BGP AS 65001. R1's IP is
10.1.1.1. R2 used RT of 65001:100 to import routes and place
them into appropriate VRF. In this case the VRF is associated with
L2VNI from VLAN 300. Upon the receipt of the above BGP EVPN
Type 2 and Type 5 routes, R2 will create create a MAC address
entry pointing to it's NVE interface with destination IP address
of 10.10.10.10.
Legend:
* - primary entry, G - Gateway MAC, (R) - Routed MAC, O - Overlay MAC

* 300 e972.d7aa.1fb4 static - F F nve1(10.10.10.10)The R2 will use the router-mac e9:72:d7:aa:1f:b4 as the destination MAC
address of the inner VXLAN packet. For example, an underlay host 20.20.20.20
ping the container. The inner VXLAN L2 destination address is
e9:72:d7:aa:1f:b4. The inner VXLAN L2 source address is R2's MAC. The outer
VXLAN L3 source address, i.e. 10.2.2.2 is R2' NVE address.

This example uses BaGPipe. GoBGP receives routes from one BaGPipe peer and advertises it to another BaGPipe peer.
NOTE: The following supposes to use BaGPipe version "7.0.0".
Please note BaGPipe supports only iBGP. So here supposes a topology that GoBGP is configured as Route Reflector. Two BaGPipe peers are Route Reflector clients and not connected to each other. Then the following example shows two OSS BGP implementations can interchange EVPN messages.
Topology:

ipv4/flow-vpn,*: -Just like the example using BaGPipe, this example uses YABGP. GoBGP receives EVPN routes from one YABGP peer and re-advertises it to another YABGP peer.
NOTE: The following supposes to use YABGP version "0.4.0".
YABGP supports eBGP peering. The following example shows GoBGP and two YABGP peers are connected with eBGP and GoBGP interchanges EVPN routes from one YABGP peer to another.

# YABGP peer on "10.0.0.1"
$ yabgpd --bgp-local_as=65001 --bgp-local_addr=10.0.0.1 --bgp-remote_addr=10.0.0.254 --bgp-remote_as=65254 --bgp-afi_safi=evpn

# GoBGP
$ gobgpd -f gobgpd.toml

10.0.0.2 65002 hh:mm:ss Establ | 0 0We can advertise EVPN routes from YABGP 10.0.0.1 through its REST
API.
In the REST request, you need to specify the Authorization header is admin/admin, and the
Content-Type is application/json.
Request URL for sending UPDATE messages:
POST http://10.0.0.1:8801/v1/peer/10.0.0.254/send/update
We will run this API four times to advertise four EVPN route types. The following example use "curl" command for sending POST request.
EVPN type 1:
curl -X POST -u admin:admin -H 'Content-Type: application/json' http://10.0.0.1:8801/v1/peer/10.0.0.254/send/update -d '{
