AVD example for a single data center using L3LS¶
Introduction¶
This example is meant to be used as the logical second step in introducing AVD to new users, directly following the Introduction to Ansible and AVD section. New users with access to virtual switches (using Arista vEOS-lab or cEOS) can learn how to generate configuration and documentation for a complete fabric environment. Users with access to physical switches will have to adapt a few settings. This is all documented inline in the comments included in the YAML files. If a lab with virtual or physical switches is not accessible, this example can be used only to generate the output from AVD if required.
The example includes and describes all the AVD files and their content used to build an L3LS EVPN/VXLAN Symmetric IRB network covering a single DC using the following:
- Two (virtual) spine switches.
- Two sets of (virtual) leaf switches, serving endpoints such as servers.
- Two (virtual) layer2-only switches, often used for server management connectivity.
Ansible playbooks are included to show the following:
- Building the intended configuration and documentation
- Deploying the configuration directly to the switches using eAPI
- Deploying the configuration via CloudVision to the switches, including a full change-based workflow with rollback capability etc.
Installation¶
Requirements to use this example:
- Follow the installation guide for AVD found here.
- Run the following playbook to copy the AVD examples to your current working directory, for example
ansible-avd-examples:
ansible-playbook arista.avd.install_examples
This will show the following:
~/ansible-avd-examples# ansible-playbook arista.avd.install_examples
PLAY [Install Examples]***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
TASK [Copy all examples to ~/ansible-avd-examples]*****************************************************************************************************************************************************
changed: [localhost]
PLAY RECAP
****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=1 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
After the playbook has run successfully, the directory structure will look as shown below, the contents of which will be covered in later sections:

If the content of any file is modified and the playbook is rerun, the file will not be overwritten. However, if any file in the example is deleted and the playbook is rerun, Ansible will re-create the file.
Overall design overview¶
Physical topology¶
The drawing below shows the physical topology used in this example. The interface assignment shown here are referenced across the entire example, so keep that in mind if this example must be adapted to a different topology. Finally, the Ansible host is connected to the dedicated out-of-band management port (Ethernet0 when using vEOS-lab):
IP ranges used¶
| Out-of-band management IP allocation for DC1 | 172.16.1.0/24 |
|---|---|
| Default gateway | 172.16.1.1 |
| dc1-spine1 | 172.16.1.11 |
| dc1-spine2 | 172.16.1.12 |
| dc1-leaf1a | 172.16.1.101 |
| dc1-leaf1b | 172.16.1.102 |
| dc1-leaf2a | 172.16.1.103 |
| dc1-leaf2b | 172.16.1.104 |
| dc1-leaf1c | 172.16.1.151 |

For example interface VLAN11 has the IP address: |
10.10.11.1 |
| MLAG Peer-link (interface vlan 4094) | (Leaf switches) |
| DC1 | 10.255.1.64/27 |
| MLAG iBGP Peering (interface vlan 4093) | (Leaf switches) |
| DC1 | 10.255.1.96/27 |
| CloudVision Portal | |
| cvp | 192.168.1.12 |
BGP design¶
Basic EOS config¶
Basic connectivity between the Ansible host and the switches must be established before Ansible can be used to push configurations. You must configure the following on all switches:
- A hostname configured purely for ease of understanding.
- An IP enabled interface - in this example, the dedicated out-of-band management interface is used.
- A username and password with the proper access privileges.
Below is the basic configuration file for dc1-leaf1a:
dc1-leaf1a-basic-configuration.txt
! ansible-avd-examples/single-dc-l3ls/switch-basic-configurations/dc1-leaf1a-basic-configuration.txt
! Basic EOS config
!
! Hostname of the device
hostname dc1-leaf1a
!
! Configures username and password for the ansible user

Note
The folder single-dc-l3ls/switch-basic-configurations/ contains a file per device for the initial configurations.
Ansible inventory, group vars, and naming scheme¶
The following drawing shows a graphic overview of the Ansible inventory, group variables, and naming scheme used in this example:
Note
The two servers dc1-leaf1-server1 and dc1-leaf2-server1 at the bottom are not configured by AVD, but the switch ports used to connect to the servers are.
Group names use uppercase and underscore syntax:
- CLOUDVISION
- FABRIC
- DC1
- DC1_SPINES
- DC1_L3_LEAVES
- DC1_L2_LEAVES
All hostnames use lowercase and dashes, for example:
- cvp
- dc1-spine1
- dc1-leaf1a
- dc1-leaf2c
The drawing also shows the relationships between groups and their children:
- For example,
dc1-spine1anddc1-spine2are both children of the group calledDC1_SPINES.
Additionally, groups themselves can be children of another group, for example:
DC1_L3_LEAVESis a group consisting of the groupsDC1_LEAF1andDC1_LEAF2DC1_L3_LEAVESis also a child of the groupDC1.
This naming convention makes it possible to extend anything easily, but as always, this can be changed based on your preferences. Just ensure that the names of all groups and hosts are unique.
Content of the inventory.yml file¶
This section describes the entire ansible-avd-examples/single-dc-l3ls/inventory.yml file used to represent the above topology.
It is important that the hostnames specified in the inventory exist either in DNS or in the hosts file on your Ansible host to allow successful name lookup and be able to reach the switches directly. A successful ping from the Ansible host to each inventory host verifies name resolution(e.g., ping dc1-spine1).
Alternatively, if there is no DNS available, or if devices need to be reached using a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), define ansible_host to be an IP address or FQDN for each device - see below for an example:
inventory.yml

CLOUDVISION- Defines the relevant values required to enable communication with CloudVision.
- Specifically the hostname (
cvp) of the CloudVision Portal server used, the username (ansible) and password (ansible), connection method (httpapi), SSL and certificate settings.
- Please note that the username (
ansible) and password (ansible) defined here must exist in CloudVision.
- More information is available here
-
NETWORK_SERVICES- Creates a group named
NETWORK_SERVICES. Ansible variable resolution resolves this group name to the identically named group_vars file (ansible-avd-examples/single-dc-l3ls/group_vars/NETWORK_SERVICES.yml).- The file’s contents, which in this case are specifications of VRFs and VLANs, are then applied to the group’s children. In this case, the two groups
DC1_L3_LEAVESandDC1_L2_LEAVES. -
CONNECTED_ENDPOINTS- Creates a group named
CONNECTED_ENDPOINTS. Ansible variable resolution resolves this group name to the identically named group_vars file (ansible-avd-examples/single-dc-l3ls/group_vars/CONNECTED_ENDPOINTS.yml).- The file’s contents, which in this case are specifications of connected endpoints (typically servers), are then applied to the children of the group, in this case, the two groups
DC1_L3_LEAVESandDC1_L2_LEAVES.
Defining device types¶
Since this example covers building an L3LS network, AVD must know about the device types, for example, spines, L3 leaves, L2 leaves, etc. The devices are already grouped in the inventory, so the device types are specified in the group variable files with the following names and content:
For example, all switches that are children of the DC1_SPINES group defined in the inventory will be of type spine.
Setting fabric-wide configuration parameters¶
The ansible-avd-examples/single-dc-l3ls/group_vars/FABRIC.yml file defines generic settings that apply to all children of the FABRIC group as specified in the inventory described earlier.
The first section defines how the Ansible host connects to the devices:
FABRIC.yml
ansible_connection: ansible.netcommon.httpapi # (1)!
ansible_network_os: arista.eos.eos # (2)!
ansible_user: ansible # (3)!
ansible_password: ansible
ansible_become: true
ansible_become_method: enable # (4)!
ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: true # (5)!
ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: false # (6)!
- The Ansible host must use eAPI
- Network OS which in this case is Arista EOS
- The username/password combo
- How to escalate privileges to get write access
- Use SSL
- Do not validate SSL certificates
The following section specifies variables that generate configuration to be applied to all devices in the fabric:
FABRIC.yml
fabric_name: FABRIC # (1)!
underlay_routing_protocol: ebgp
overlay_routing_protocol: ebgp
local_users: # (2)!

- The name of the fabric for internal AVD use. This name must match the name of an Ansible Group (and therefore a corresponding group_vars file) covering all network devices.
- Local users/passwords and their privilege levels. In this case, the
ansibleuser is set with the passwordansibleand anadminuser is set with no password. - BGP peer groups and their passwords (all passwords are “arista”).
- Point-to-point interface MTU, in this case, is set to 1500 since the example uses vEOS, but when using hardware, this should be set to 9214 instead.
- Defines which interfaces to use for uplinks, MLAG peer-links and downlinks. In this example they are specified per node type.
uplink_interfacesspecify which local interfaces connect to an upstream device.mlag_interfacesspecify which local interfaces connect to an MLAG peer.downlink_interfacesspecify which local interfaces connect to a downstream device.
- Relevant settings for the
TerminAttrsoftware agent on EOS, responsible for streaming telemetry back to CloudVision Portal. - DNS Server specification. Used in this example primarily to resolve the IP address of the NTP server.
- NTP server settings. Correct and synchronized time on EOS is required for proper connectivity to CloudVision Portal.
Setting device specific configuration parameters¶
The ansible-avd-examples/single-dc-l3ls/group_vars/DC1.yml file defines settings that apply to all children of the DC1 group as specified in the inventory described earlier. However, this time the settings defined are no longer fabric-wide but are limited to DC1. This example is of limited benefit with only a single data center. Still, it allows us to scale the configuration to a scenario with multiple data centers in the future.

In this case, dc1-spine1 will get the IPv4 address 10.255.0.1/27 assigned to the Loopback0 interface.mgmt_ipdefines the IPv4 address of the management interface. As stated earlier, Ansible will perform name lookups using the hostnames specified in the inventory unless using theansible_hostoption. However, there is no automatic mechanism to grab the result of the name lookup and use that to generate the management interface configuration.
The following section covers the L3 leaf switches. Significantly more settings need to be set compared to the spine switches:

platformreferences default settings defined in AVD specific to certain switch platforms.loopback_ipv4_pooldefines the IP scope from which AVD assigns IPv4 addresses for Loopback0. Please note that this IP pool is identical to the one used for the spine switches in this example. To avoid setting the same IP addresses for several devices, we define the optionloopback_ipv4_offset.loopback_ipv4_offsetoffsets all assigned loopback IP addresses counting from the beginning of the IP scope. This is required to avoid overlapping IPs when the same IP pool is used for two different node_types (like spine and l3leaf in this example). The offset is “2” because each spine switch uses one loopback address.vtep_loopback_ipv4_pooldefines the IP scope from which AVD assigns IPv4 addresses for the VTEP (Loopback1).uplink_interfacesused by thel3leafnodes to connect to the spine switches.uplink_switchesdefines the uplink switches, which are dc1-spine1 and dc1-spine2. Note that theuplink_interfacesanduplink_switchesare paired vertically.uplink_ipv4_pooldefines the IP scope from which AVD assigns IPv4 addresses for the uplink interfaces that were just defined.mlag_interfacesdefines the MLAG interfaces used on each leaf switch.mlag_peer_ipv4_pooldefines the IP scope from which AVD assigns IPv4 addresses for the MLAG peer link interface VLAN4094.mlag_peer_l3_ipv4_pooldefines the IP scope from which AVD assigns IPv4 addresses for the iBGP peering established between the two leaf switches via the SVI/IRB interface VLAN4093.virtual_router_mac_addressdefines the MAC address used for the anycast gateway on the various subnets. This is the MAC address connected endpoints will learn when ARPing for their default gateway.spanning_tree_prioritysets the spanning tree priority. Since spanning tree in an L3LS network is effectively only running locally on the switch, the same priority across all L3 leaf switches can be re-used.spanning_tree_modedefines the spanning tree mode. In this case, we are using MSTP, which is the default. However, other modes are supported should they be required, for example, for connectivity to legacy or third-party vendor environments.node_groupsdefines settings common to more than one node. For example, when exactly two nodes are part of a node group for leaf switches, AVD will, by default, automatically generate MLAG configuration.bgp_asis defined once since an MLAG pair shares a single BGP AS number.uplink_switch_interfacesdefines the interfaces used on the uplink switches (Ethernet1 on dc1-spine1 and dc1-spine2 in this example).
Finally, more of the same, but this time for the L2 leaf switches:
DC1.yml
l2leaf:
defaults:
platform: vEOS-lab
spanning_tree_mode: mstp
node_groups:
- group: DC1_L2_LEAF1
uplink_switches: ['dc1-leaf1a', 'dc1-leaf1b']
nodes:
- name: dc1-leaf1c
id: 1
mgmt_ip: 172.16.1.151/24
uplink_switch_interfaces:
- Ethernet8
- Ethernet8
- group: DC1_L2_LEAF2
uplink_switches: ['dc1-leaf2a', 'dc1-leaf2b']
nodes:
- name: dc1-leaf2c
id: 2
mgmt_ip: 172.16.1.152/24
uplink_switch_interfaces:
- Ethernet8
- Ethernet8
An L2 leaf switch is more simple than an L3 switch. Hence there are fewer settings to define.
Specifying network services (VRFs and VLANs) in the EVPN/VXLAN fabric¶
The ansible-avd-examples/single-dc-l3ls/group_vars/NETWORK_SERVICES.yml file defines All VRF and VLANs. This means that regardless of where a given VRF or VLAN must exist, its existence is defined in this file, but it does not indicate where in the fabric it exists. That was done at the bottom of the inventory file previously described in the Inventory section.

name: L2_VLAN3402
- Definition of tenants. Additional level of abstraction in addition to VRFs. In this example just one tenant named
TENANT1is specified. - The base number (
10000) used to generate the L2VNI numbers automatically,L2VNI = base number + VLAN-id. For example, L2VNI for VLAN11 = 10000 + 11 = 10011. - VRF definitions inside the tenant.
- VRF VNI definition.
-
Enable VTEP Network diagnostics. This will create a loopback with virtual source-nat enable to perform diagnostics from the switch:
-
Loopback interface number.
- Loopback IP range, a unique IP is derived from this range and assigned to each l3 leaf based on its unique id.
- SVI Definitions for all SVIs within this tenant.
- SVI Description.
- IP anycast gateway to be used in the SVI in every leaf across the fabric.
- These are pure L2 VLANs. They do not have an SVI defined in the l3leafs and they will be bridged inside the VXLAN fabric.
AVD offers granular control of where Tenants and VLANs are configured using tags and filter. Those areas are not covered in this basic example.
Specifying endpoint connectivity in the EVPN/VXLAN fabric¶
After the previous section, all VRFs and VLANs across the fabric are now defined. The ansible-avd-examples/single-dc-l3ls/group_vars/CONNECTED_ENDPOINTS.yml file specifies the connectivity for all endpoints in the fabric (typically servers):
CONNECTED_ENDPOINTS.yml
---
# Definition of connected endpoints in the fabric.

# Name of the defined server.
- name: dc1-leaf1-server1
# Definition of adapters on the server.

This defines the settings for the relevant switch ports to which the endpoints connect, in this case the two servers dc1-leaf1-server1 and dc1-leaf2-server1.
As an example, here is the configuration for dc1-leaf1-server1:
CONNECTED_ENDPOINTS.yml
dc1-leaf1-server1:
adapters: # (1)!
- endpoint_ports: [ PCI1, PCI2 ] # (2)!
switch_ports: [ Ethernet5, Ethernet5 ] # (3)!
switches: [ dc1-leaf1a, dc1-leaf1b ] # (4)!
vlans: 11-12,21-22 # (5)!
native_vlan: 4092 # (6)!
mode: trunk # (7)!
spanning_tree_portfast: edge # (8)!
port_channel: # (9)!

mode: active
- endpoint_ports: [ iLO ]
switch_ports: [ Ethernet5 ]
switches: [ dc1-leaf1c ]
vlans: 11
mode: access
spanning_tree_portfast: edge
- The relevant
adaptersare defined. For example, thetypeset toserverandilois purely for documentation and readability. It has no operational significance. endpoint_portsare defined for use in the interface descriptions on the switch. This does not configure anything on the server.switch_portsdefines the interfaces used in the switches. In this example the server is dual-connected to Ethernet5 and Ethernet5. These two ports exist on switch dc1-leaf1a and dc1-leaf1b defined in the following line.switchesdefines the switches used, in this case dc1-leaf1a and dc1-leaf1b. Note that theendpoint_ports,switch_portsandswitchesdefinitions are paired vertically.vlansdefines which VLANs are allowed on the switch_ports, in this case it is two ranges, VLAN11-12 and VLAN21-22 for the dual-attached server ports and VLAN11 for the iLO port.native_vlanspecifies the native VLAN when the switch port mode is set to trunk.modeis set to trunk for the dual-attached server ports and access for the iLO port.spanning_tree_portfastdefines whether the switch port should be a spanning tree edge or network port.port_channeldefines the description and mode for the port-channel.
The playbooks¶
In this example, three playbooks are included, of which two must be used:
- The first playbook
build.ymlis mandatory and is used to build the structured configuration, documentation and finally the actual EOS CLI configuration. - The second playbook is a choice between:
deploy.ymlto deploy the configurations generated bybuild.ymldirectly to the Arista switches using eAPI.deploy-cvp.ymlto deploy the configurations generated bybuild.ymlto the Arista switches using CloudVision.
The build.yml playbook looks like the following:
build.yml
---
# build.yml
- name: Build Configurations and Documentation # (1)!
hosts: FABRIC
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Generate AVD Structured Configurations and Fabric Documentation # (2)!
ansible.builtin.import_role:
name: arista.avd.eos_designs
- name: Generate Device Configurations and Documentation # (3)!
ansible.builtin.import_role:
name: arista.avd.eos_cli_config_gen
- At the highest level, the name and scope of the playbook are set, which in this example is the entire fabric. For instance,
FABRICis a group name defined in the inventory. If the playbook should only apply to a subset of devices, it can be changed here. - This task uses the role
arista.avd.eos_designs, which generates structured configuration for each device. This structured configuration can be found in theansible-avd-examples/single-dc-l3ls/intended/structured_configsfolder. - This task uses the role
arista.avd.eos_cli_config_gen, which generates the Arista EOS CLI configurations found in theansible-avd-examples/single-dc-l3ls/intended/configsfolder, along with the device-specific and fabric wide documentation found in theansible-avd-examples/single-dc-l3ls/documentation/folder. In addition, it relies on the structured configuration generated byarista.avd.eos_designs.
The deploy.yml playbook looks like the following:
deploy.yml
---
# deploy.yml
- name: Deploy Configurations to Devices using eAPI # (1)!
hosts: FABRIC
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Deploy Configurations to Devices # (2)!
ansible.builtin.import_role:
name: arista.avd.eos_config_deploy_eapi
- At the highest level, the name and scope of the playbook are set, which in this example is the entire fabric. For instance,
FABRICis a group name defined in the inventory. If the playbook should only apply to a subset of devices, it can be changed here. - This task uses the
arista.avd.eos_config_deploy_eapirole to deploy the configurations directly to EOS nodes that were generated by thearista.avd.eos_cli_config_genrole.
The deploy-cvp.yml playbook looks like the following:
deploy-cvp.yml
---
- name: Deploy Configurations to Devices Using CloudVision Portal # (1)!
hosts: CLOUDVISION
gather_facts: false
connection: local
tasks:
- name: Deploy Configurations to CloudVision # (2)!
ansible.builtin.import_role:
name: arista.avd.eos_config_deploy_cvp
vars:
cv_collection: v3 # (3)!
fabric_name: FABRIC # (4)!
- At the highest level, the name and scope of the playbook are set, which in this example is the CloudVision server named
CLOUDVISION. - This task uses the
arista.avd.eos_config_deploy_cvprole to deploy and manage the Fabric with CloudVision. - Sets
v3as the version of the collection to use (default in AVD 4.x). fabric_nameis used to specify the container root in CVP (must match a group name).
In addition, the arista.avd.eos_config_deploy_cvp collection performs the following actions:
- Reads the AVD inventory and builds the container topology in CloudVision
- Looks for configuration previously generated by arista.avd.eos_cli_config_gen and builds configlets list, one per device
- Looks for additional configlets to attach to either devices or containers
- Build configlets on CVP
- Create containers topology
- Move devices to the container
- Bind configlet to device
- Deploy Fabric configuration by running all pending tasks (optional, if execute_tasks == true)
Testing AVD output without a lab¶
Using the build.yml playbook without any actual devices is possible. The playbook will generate all the output (variables, configurations, documentation) but will not attempt to communicate with devices.
Please look through the folders and files described above to learn more about the output generated by AVD.
Playbook Run¶
To build the configuration files, run the playbook called build.yml.
After the playbook run finishes, EOS CLI intended configuration files were written to intended/configs.
To build and deploy the configurations to your switches directly, using eAPI, run the playbook called deploy.yml. This assumes that your Ansible host has access and authentication rights to the switches. Those auth variables are defined in FABRIC.yml.
To build and deploy the configurations to your switches using CloudVision Portal, run the playbook called deploy-cvp.yml. This assumes that your CloudVision Portal server has access and authentication rights to the switches. Those auth variables are defined in FABRIC.yml.
### Deploy Configurations to Devices Using CloudVision Portal

EOS Intended Configurations¶
Your configuration files should be similar to these.

If similar output is not shown, make sure:

Troubleshooting¶
EVPN not working¶
If after doing the following steps:
- Manually copy/paste the switch-basic-configuration to the devices.
- Run the playbook and push the generated configuration to the fabric.
- Log in to a leaf device, for example, dc1-leaf1a and run the command
show bgp evpn summaryto view EVPN routes.
The following error message is shown:
This is caused by AVD pushing the configuration line service routing protocols model multi-agent, which enables the multi-agent routing process supporting EVPN. This change requires a reboot of the device.
