1.  Introduction

   YANG[RFC6020]is a data definition language that was introduced to
   define the contents of a conceptual data store that allows networked
   devices to be managed using NETCONF [RFC6241].  This document defines
   a YANG data model for the configuration of VxLAN protocol [RFC7348].

2.  Terminology

3.  YANG Data Model for VxLAN Configuration

3.1.  VxLAN Multicast IP Address

   The vxlan-multicast-ip is used to configure the IP multicast group,
   which the VxLAN VNI of the VTEP is mapping to.

3.2.  VxLAN Mapping Type

   The VxLAN-mapping-type is used to configure the VxLAN mapping type
   for the interface.  The value is as following:

   o  vlan-1:1: the vxlan mapping type is VLAN, and each VxLAN is only
      mapping to one VLAN.

   o  vlan- n:1: the vxlan mapping type is VLAN, and each VxLAN could be
      mapped to several VLANs.

   o  L3-interface: the VxLAN mapping type is layer 3 interface.

   o  mac: the VxLAN mapping type is MAC address.

Internet-Draft                 VxLAN YANG                   October 2015

   o  vlan-l2-interface: the VxLAN mapping type is vlan + Layer 2
      interface.

3.3.  VTEP Mode

   The VTEP-mode is used to configure the mode for the VTEP interface.
   There are two modes: discard-inner-vlan and no-discard-inner-vlan.
   If the VTEP interface works in the discard-inner-vlan mode, the VxLAN
   is only mapping to one VLAN.  The inner VLAN tag will be stripped
   when encapsulating the VxLAN frame.  On the decapsulation side, if
   VTEP receives the VxLAN frame with inner VLAN tag, it will discard
   the frame in this work mode.  If the VTEP receives the VxLAN frame
   without VLAN tag, it will fill in the VLAN tag based on the VxLAN and
   VLAN mapping.

   If the VTEP interface works in the no-discard-inner-vlan mode, the
   VxLAN could be mapped to several VLANs.  The inner VLAN tag will not
   stripped when encapsulating the VxLAN frame in the VxLAN
   encapsulation side.  On the decapsulation side, if VTEP receives the
   VxLAN frame, it will strip the VxLAN header, and keep the VLAN frame.
