I have a VLAN-based EVPN connecting two sites in a lab environment based on the network topology described in the DAY ONE: USING ETHERNET VPNS FOR DATA CENTER INTERCONNECT book:

EVPN test setup

For some reason, it looks like the MAC Advertisement routes from remote PEs are not installed to mac-table of the local PE. For example, there is a route for MAC address fe:86:dd:0e:ff:f3 in EVPN-1.evpn.0 table:

2:11.11.11.11:1::100::fe:86:dd:0e:ff:f3/304 MAC/IP (1 entry, 1 announced)

                                        Session Id: 0

I would expect to see the MAC address of fe:86:dd:0e:ff:f3 in the local PE mac-table with a flag R(Remote PE MAC) set, but it is not there:

root@PE21> show evpn mac-table

MAC flags       (S -static MAC, D -dynamic MAC, L -locally learned, C -Control MAC
    O -OVSDB MAC, SE -Statistics enabled, NM -Non configured MAC, R -Remote PE MAC, P -Pinned MAC)

Routing instance : EVPN-1
 Bridging domain : __EVPN-1__, VLAN : 100
   MAC                 MAC      Logical          NH     MAC         active
   address             flags    interface        Index  property    source
   fe:96:dd:0e:ff:f4   D        ae0.100

root@PE21>

EVPN configuration on local PE(PE21) and remote PE(PE11) can be seen below:

root@PE21> show configuration routing-instances EVPN-1
instance-type evpn;
vlan-id 100;
interface ae0.100;
routing-interface irb.100;
route-distinguisher 21.21.21.21:1;
vrf-target target:65000:1;
protocols {
    evpn {
        default-gateway do-not-advertise;
    }
}

root@PE21>


root@PE11> show configuration routing-instances EVPN-1
instance-type evpn;
vlan-id 100;
interface ae0.100;
routing-interface irb.100;
route-distinguisher 11.11.11.11:1;
vrf-target target:65000:1;
protocols {
    evpn {
        default-gateway do-not-advertise;
    }
}

root@PE11>

Local CE port configuration is following:

root@CE20> show configuration interfaces ae0
aggregated-ether-options {
    lacp {
        active;
        periodic fast;
    }
}
unit 0 {
    family bridge {
        interface-mode trunk;
        vlan-id-list [ 100 200 201 202 222 ];
    }
}

root@CE20>

What might cause such behavior?

    What router models do you have? – Ron Maupin Feb 22 '21 at 13:23

    Can you post configs for the remote PE's routing instance as well as the CE interface (assuming they're the same?). – Jordan Head Feb 22 '21 at 14:59

    Router model is Juniper vMX. I updated my question with the remote PE RI config. – Martin Feb 22 '21 at 15:17
  • Did any answer help you? If so, you should accept the answer so that the question doesn't keep popping up forever, looking for an answer. Alternatively, you can post and accept your own answer. – Ron Maupin Nov 19 '22 at 21:35
