Per l3vni_config_diff.txt lines 1-39, each leaf node needs to import route-targets from its local (same-DC) BGW cross-DC L3VNI so that Type-5 prefix routes from remote DCs are accepted into the leaf's VRF.

…VNI checks Per PR review comment: replace manual VRF-VNI and VLAN-VNI verification loops in L3VNI test cases with calls to verify_base_setup_bgw(). - L3VNI_dci:1: Steps 1-2 (VRF-VNI + VLAN-VNI on all nodes) replaced with verify_base_setup_bgw(nodes, checks=['vrf_vni', 'vlan_vni']) - L3VNI_dci:2: Step 2 (VRF-VNI on BGWs) replaced with verify_base_setup_bgw(bgw_nodes, checks=['vrf_vni']) - L3VNI_dci:6: Step 2 (VRF-VNI on BGWs) replaced with verify_base_setup_bgw(bgw_nodes, checks=['vrf_vni']) - Type-5 route verification remains custom (not available in verify_base_setup_bgw)

@vallabh78 Good suggestion. Refactored in commit 8349da3 to reuse

can we move the evpn route type 5 verification to verify_base_setup_bgw and call it in the testcase? In that way we can use it in other testcases. |
|
We need to add this bgp cache: bgp_info = vxlan_obj.get_bgp_underlay_info_cached() and pass it into l3vni_sonic_bgw_dci and l3vni_frr_bgw_dci in the config_bgw_nodes function. Without this it caused the script to fail and script was unable to configure any BGP related config. |
…config_bgw_nodes Address PR review comments: 1. Move EVPN Type-5 route verification into verify_base_setup_bgw as a new 'evpn_type5' check (BGW-only, auto-skipped on leaf nodes). Added to ALL_CHECKS, control_plane CHECK_SET, and docstring. 2. Add bgp_info = vxlan_obj.get_bgp_underlay_info_cached() in config_bgw_nodes and pass it to l3vni_sonic_bgw_dci and l3vni_frr_bgw_dci calls to fix BGP config lookup failures. Refactored L3VNI test cases to use new evpn_type5 check: - L3VNI_dci:1: checks=['vrf_vni', 'vlan_vni', 'evpn_type5'] - L3VNI_dci:2: checks=['vrf_vni', 'evpn_type5'] (Step 2) - L3VNI_dci:6: checks=['vrf_vni', 'evpn_type5'] (merged old Steps 2+4)

L3VNI Config Validation — Per-Device AnalysisValidated Result: ALL configs match across all 12 nodes (7 leafs + 5 BGWs)Leaf Nodes (7 devices)
Key observation: DC2 leafs use Vrf102 VNI=7102 and DC3 leaf uses Vrf102 VNI=9102 (per-DC leaf VNIs, not uniform 5102). Our YAML already has these correct values, and the code reads them from the per-leaf YAML config. BGW Nodes (5 devices)
BGW extcommunity-lists also verified — RT-WAN-* lists match local leaf ASN:leaf_VNI (e.g. DC2 BGWs match How Code Handles Per-DC VNIsThe YAML already has correct per-DC Vrf102 VNIs:
Code reads these directly:
No code changes needed — config generation matches actual device config. |
|
This is what I see on device after using the script. Please compare with dci_l3vni_config.txt. IP address can vary |
Comparison: Script Output (on-device) vs Reference ConfigCompared Result: ALL structural L3VNI config matches perfectly. Only IP addresses differ (as expected).What Matches (all 14 devices):
IP Address Differences (expected per reviewer note):
Root Cause of IP Differences:All IP differences come from
Conclusion:The L3VNI config being pushed to devices is structurally correct — all VRF-VNI, route-targets, extcommunity-lists, and RT-REWRITE logic match exactly. The IP differences are from the VIP generation functions which derive addresses from topology globals, and the reviewer noted IPs may differ between environments. The VIP values are topology-dependent and will be correct for the testbed the script runs on, since they're derived from actual Loopback IPs. |

Leaf default (global) BGP: IPv4 unicast toward TRANSIT |
Per reference config (dci_l3vni_config.txt), leaf nodes should only have 'neighbor TRANSIT activate' under IPv6 unicast address-family, not IPv4. Spine/BGW nodes correctly have it under both IPv4 and IPv6. Added node_name parameter to generate_bgp_underlay_config() to distinguish leaf vs spine nodes. Only spine nodes (detected by 'spine' in node_name) get 'neighbor TRANSIT activate' in IPv4 AF.
|
@vallabh78 Good catch on the Issue: Fix: Added Reference config pattern:
|
|
neighbor TRANSIT activate under address-family is not there for any nodes. Please enable this dci_enabled=False |
Per reviewer feedback, 'neighbor TRANSIT activate' should not be present in the base (non-DCI) config for any nodes. It should only be added when DCI is enabled. - Added dci_enabled=False parameter to generate_bgp_underlay_config() - When dci_enabled=False (default): no TRANSIT activate under any AF - When dci_enabled=True (DCI path): leaf nodes get it under IPv6 AF only, spine/BGW nodes get it under both IPv4 and IPv6 AF - config_feature (non-DCI) uses default dci_enabled=False - config_feature_dci passes dci_enabled=True
|
@vallabh78 Updated in commit 7524f9d.
|
|
i dont want trasit activate under ipv4 for any nodes if dci_enabled is true, if its false then use the old config |
Per reviewer clarification: when dci_enabled=True, 'neighbor TRANSIT activate' should NOT be under IPv4 unicast AF for ANY node (leaf or spine). When dci_enabled=False (default), use old behavior with TRANSIT activate under both IPv4 and IPv6 for all nodes.

To confirm, we are not skipping type 5 verification on leafs correct? Also, can you make sure testcases are using correct type5 verification? |
Previously, 12 test methods only verified Type-5 routes on BGW nodes, skipping leaf Type-5 verification. This commit changes all across_dci, prefix, multihop, and withdrawal tests to pass the full l2l3vni_bgw node list to verify_base_setup_bgw() with evpn_type5_comprehensive, ensuring leaf nodes are also checked for Type-5 route presence. Affected tests: - L3VNI_dci:6 (ebgp_multihop_bgw): split into BGW-specific + all-node Type-5 - L3VNI_dci:8 (type5_ipv6_prefix): bgw_nodes -> all nodes - L3VNI_dci:9 (type5_ipv4_prefix): bgw_nodes -> all nodes - L3VNI_dci:14 (ipv4_across_dci): bgw_nodes -> all nodes - L3VNI_dci:15 (ipv6_across_dci): bgw_nodes -> all nodes - L3VNI_dci:19 (sh_ipv4_across_dci): bgw_nodes -> all nodes - L3VNI_dci:21 (sh_ipv6_across_dci): bgw_nodes -> all nodes - L3VNI_dci:23 (mh_ipv4_across_dci): bgw_nodes -> all nodes - L3VNI_dci:25 (mh_ipv6_across_dci): bgw_nodes -> all nodes - L3VNI_dci:27 (dualstack_sh_across_dci): bgw_nodes -> all nodes - L3VNI_dci:29 (dualstack_mh_across_dci): bgw_nodes -> all nodes - L3VNI_dci:30 (type5_route_withdrawal): bgw_nodes -> all nodes Also updated ALL_CHECKS comment for evpn_type5_comprehensive to clarify it runs on both BGW (path-count model) and leaf (prefix-presence).

Description of PR
Summary: Adds twenty-five L3VNI cross-DC test cases to the VXLAN DCI test suite with control plane and data plane verification aligned to the DCI Solution Testplan, driven by detailed configuration context from
l3vni_config_diff.txtandvxlan_dci_input_file.yaml. Enables cross-DC L3 stream generation. Incorporates L3VNI-specific BGW configuration (SONiC CLI + FRR) intoconfig_bgw_nodes()and leaf VRF route-target imports from local BGWs intoconfig_l2l3vni(), so all L3VNI configuration froml3vni_config_diff.txtis applied before any L3VNI test verification runs. All test case verification follows a consistent pattern usingverify_base_setup_bgw()with testcase-specific check lists. BGW L3VNI VLAN/VRF bindings are now declared invxlan_dci_input_file.yamland consumed by the helper code. Cross-DC L3 traffic now uses 23 specific DCI flows froml3vni_dci_traffic_flows.txtinstead of generic full-mesh filtering. Type-5 route verification uses only the comprehensive verification model (evpn_type5_comprehensive) with per-prefix validation, best-path source checks, route attribute (RT/ET/RMAC) verification, and RIB/FIB install checks. Leaf nodes now use a simpler per-VRF prefix-presence model (prefix present, best path exists, NH=local VTEP, weight=32768) instead of the BGW path-count model. Old basic/detail Type-5 verification functions have been removed per reviewer feedback. Additionally, adds three trigger test classes (restart, reload, reboot, power cycle, BGP reset) with L3VNI traffic verification.Link to Devin Session: https://cisco-demo.devinenterprise.com/sessions/8fabef50d24246fd9573c19e56e512c6

Weight extraction logic: splits metrics line by 2+ spaces, takes last group, splits by single space, first token is weight (0 or 32768), remaining tokens are AS path. Also captures weight from weight-only continuation lines for locally-originated routes.verify_evpn_type5_comprehensive(dut, exp_routes):@VerifyLoopfunction implementing per-prefix pass/fail model. Now splits into two sub-functions based on node type:_verify_type5_leaf(dut, exp_routes, detailed): Leaf-specific verification per reviewer spec. For each leaf, per VRF checks: (1) total expected prefix count, (2) all expected IPv4 prefixes present, (3) all expected IPv6 prefixes present, (4) best path exists for each prefix, (5) best path next-hop = leaf's own IPv6 VTEP (fromlocal_vtepfield), (6) best path weight = 32768 (locally originated). Usescompare_exp_actual_data()for structured tabular output._verify_type5_bgw(dut, exp_routes, detailed): BGW-specific verification (path-count model, unchanged from original). For every BGW and tenant prefix, marks pass only if: (1) prefix exists, (2) path count matches expected for that site, (3) at least one local-site leaf path exists (ifexpect_local_leaf=True), (4) at least one remote/BGW path exists, (5) best path is local-site leaf path (ifexpect_local_leaf=True), (6) route has RT, ET, and RMAC, (7) at least one path has IPv6 VTEP next-hop (ifexpect_ipv6_nexthop=True).verify_evpn_type5_rib_fib(dut, exp_routes):@VerifyLoopfunction verifying tenant subnet routes are installed in RIB/FIB on BGWs.

Dynamically determines expected remote BGW neighbors usinggenerate_dci_vip_maps(), verifies all sessions are Established and receiving prefixes.verify_rt_rewrite_dci(dut): Verifies RT-REWRITE route-maps (RT-REWRITE-WAN, RT-REWRITE-DC) are configured on BGW. Now performs expected-vs-actual RT per-domain comparison: builds expected remote BGW RTs (e.g.65104:10101) and local leaf RTs (e.g.65200:5101), parses actual RTs from Type-5 output, compares withcompare_exp_actual_data()for structured tabular output. Reads expected cross-DC VNI values from YAML instead of hardcoding. Returns pass only if all expected RTs are present in actual output._get_expected_local_arp_entries(dut): New helper that builds expected local ARP entries for a leaf node from SAG host addressing. Usesgenerate_sag_hosts()logic to derive per-VLAN host IPs and MACs. Returns list of dicts with{ip, mac, vlan}for each expected ARP entry.verify_mac_arp_entries_dci(dut): Rewritten to perform structured expected-vs-actual ARP comparison. Builds expected local ARP entries from SAG host addressing (IP:80.<vlan>.0.<counter>, MAC:00:<vlan_hex>:00:00:04:<counter_hex>), parses actualshow arpoutput, compares each expected entry against actual usingcompare_exp_actual_data(). Reports per-entry match/mismatch and provides detailed missing entry list. Pass only if MAC table has entries and all expected ARP entries are present.verify_type5_route_presence_dci(dut, vlan_ids, expect_present=True): New helper function that wraps comprehensive Type-5 verification for withdrawal/re-advertisement checks. Updated to handle both BGW and leaf node formats. Whenexpect_present=False, verifies routes are NOT present. Whenexpect_present=True, verifies routes exist with correct attributes usingget_expected_type5_routes()+_parse_type5_routes_detailed()— for BGW nodes checks path count + RT/ET/RMAC, for leaf nodes checks best path exists.

test_vxlan_dci.pyLeaf Type-5 Verification Fix (commit 68dccd9) — per reviewer comment #4132602045:
Issue: The comprehensive Type-5 verification was using a BGW-centric path-count model for leaf nodes, which failed because leaf nodes see all prefixes as locally originated (weight=32768) with only same-DC paths. The old model expected remote BGW paths and specific path counts that don't apply to leaf behavior.
Reviewer guidance: "For each leaf, per VRF: Check total expected prefix count, all expected IPv4 prefixes present, all expected IPv6 prefixes present, best path exists for each, and if prefix is locally originated in that DC, best path next-hop must be local leaf VTEP and weight should be 32768."

Approach
What is the motivation for this PR?
Extend VXLAN DCI test suite with L3VNI cross-DC test coverage per DCI Solution Testplan. Previously only L2VNI cross-DC traffic was tested; L3VNI across-DCI remained disabled (
ENABLE_L3_ACROSS_DCI = False). This PR adds 25 L3VNI test cases covering control plane (Type-5 route verification, RT translation, eBGP multihop) and data plane (inter-VLAN routing across DCs, single-homed/multi-homed traffic, dual-stack). Also adds trigger test classes (restart, reload, reboot, power cycle, BGP reset) with L3VNI traffic verification for resilience testing.How did you do it?
