What is OTV used for?
Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV) on the Nexus 7000 is an industry-first technology that significantly simplifies extending Layer 2 applications across distributed data centers. You can now deploy Data Center Interconnect (DCI) between sites without changing or reconfiguring your existing network design.
Is OTV Cisco proprietary?
Overlay transport virtualization (OTV) is a Cisco proprietary protocol for relaying layer 2 communications between layer 3 computer networks.
What is the difference between OTV and Vxlan?
Well VXLAN is extending the VLANs or layer 2 traffic within the datacenter while OTV is the extension of the layer 2 Traffic across the datacenter. Although the concept is same taking the Layer 2 traffic over IP networks.
What is OTV configuration?

What is VXLAN tunnel?
VXLAN is an encapsulation protocol that provides data center connectivity using tunneling to stretch Layer 2 connections over an underlying Layer 3 network. In data centers, VXLAN is the most commonly used protocol to create overlay networks that sit on top of the physical network, enabling the use of virtual networks.
Does VXLAN use Lisp?
F3/M3 line cards provide multiple data plane encapsulation in hardware and control plane protocols. VXLAN encapsulation is implemented in hardware on the southbound side, and LISP is implemented in hardware on the northbound side of the F3/M3 cards.

What’s the difference between a L2 VPN and a L3 VPN?
L2 VPN and L3 VPN. L2 VPN. The Service Provider establishes Layer 2 VCs between customer sites. The customer is responsible for higher layers. L3 VPN. The Service Provider Infrastructure appears as point to point links to the customer. The Service Provider does not see customer routes and is responsible only for providing
How does OTV extend the topology of Layer 2?
OTV extends the Layer 2 (L2) topology across the physically different sites, which allows devices to communicate at L2 across a Layer 3 (L3) provider. Devices in Site 1 believe they are on the same broadcast domain as those in Site 2. Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics:
How does an ISP provide a L2VPN Service?
The ISP provides L2 connectivity; the customer builds a network using data link resources obtained from the ISP. In an L2VPN service, the ISP does not require information about a the customer’s network topology, policies, routing information, point-to-point links, or network point-to-point links from other ISPs.
What does the unicast adjacency server do for OTV?
Since traditional OTV requires multicast across the Internet Service Provider (ISP) cloud, the Unicast Adjacency Server allows you to leverage the OTV feature without the requirement of muticast support and configuration.
