Network configuration
As shown in Figure 1, the user network uses a three-layer architecture: core-aggregation-access. To improve network availability, deploy two devices separately on the core layer, aggregation layer, and access layer. Two devices on each layer form an M-LAG system.
· Device A and Device B form M-LAG system 1, which acts as the access device and connects to VM.
· Device C and Device D form M-LAG system 2, which acts as an aggregation device.
· Device E and Device F form M-LAG system 3, which acts as the core device and connects to Server.
To meet the network access requirements of VM and Server, make sure the M-LAG member devices on the aggregation layer act as both the IPv4 gateway and IPv6 gateway of VM and the M-LAG member devices on the core layer act as both the IPv4 gateway and IPv6 gateway of Server. Run OSPF between the M-LAG member devices on the aggregation layer and M-LAG member devices on the core layer to ensure that they can reach each other at Layer 3.

Analysis
Device A and Device B are on the access layer. Device C and Device D are on the aggregation layer. Device E and Device F are on the core layer.
On Device C and Device D, configure an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address for VLAN-interface 10, which will act as the IPv4 gateway address and IPv6 gateway address of VM, respectively. Configure an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address for VLAN-interface 20, which will act as the interconnect interface to devices on the core layer.
On Device E and Device F, configure an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address for VLAN-interface 30, which will act as the IPv4 gateway address and IPv6 gateway address of Server, respectively. Configure an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address for VLAN-interface 20, which will act as the interconnect interface to devices on the aggregation layer.
On Device C, Device D, Device E, and Device F, assign an M-LAG virtual IP address to VLAN-interface 20, and enable OSPF to use the secondary IP addresses of interfaces to establish neighbor relationships. On Device C and Device D, enable OSPF and OSPFv3 on VLAN-interface 10 and VLAN-interface 20. On Device E and Device F, enable OSPF and OSPFv3 on VLAN-interface 20 and VLAN-interface 30. Configure Device C to use the M-LAG virtual IP address of VLAN-interface 20 to establish OSPF/OSPFv3 neighbor relationships with Device D, Device E, and Device F. Configure Device D, Device E, and Device F in the same way. Each device uses the M-LAG virtual IP address to establish OSPF/OSPFv3 neighbor relationships with the other three devices.

Traffic forwarding models
Underlay traffic characteristics
The forwarding model matrix provides the following characteristics of underlay traffic:
· No.—Traffic number in the U-X-XXX format:
¡ U—Underlay traffic.
¡ X—Protocol number, which can be 4 (IPv4) or 6 (IPv6).
¡ XXX—Traffic sequence number.
· Traffic type—Type of underlay traffic, which can be IPv4 known unicast or IPv6 known unicast.
· Direction—Direction of underlay traffic. The value is south-north, which indicates traffic from the south to north.
· Forwarding path—Nodes that underlay traffic traverses.
· Traffic simulation—Traffic simulation method. Typically, a tester is used to simulate server traffic.
· Load—Traffic size, which can be light (less than 1000 flows) and heavy (more than 1000 flows).
· Traffic direction to firewalls/LB—No firewalls or LBs are used in this example. This field is not involved.
