Differences Between Dynamic and Static VXLAN Modes

This section summarizes the differences between dynamic and static VXLAN modes.

Differences between the Dynamic and Static VXLAN modes
Destination MAC\mode Static VXLAN mode Dynamic VXLAN mode
Known MAC address Unicast packet is sent to destination worker node. Unicast packet is sent to destination worker node.
Unknown MAC address The packet is dropped. A multicast packet is sent to all registered nodes.
Broadcast MAC address
  1. If the packet is an IPv4 ARP packet, and the target IP address is known, then a reply packet is created and sent to the originator directly without involving the intended recipient or destination VTEP node.
  2. Otherwise the packet is cloned and a copy is sent to each registered/known worker node on that data network.
 A multicast packet is sent to all registered nodes.
Multicast MAC address
  1. If the packet is an ICMPv6 ND packet, and the target IP address is known, then a reply packet is created and sent to the originator directly without involving the intended recipient or destination VTEP node.
  2. Otherwise the packet is cloned and a copy is sent to each registered/known worker node on that data network.
 A multicast packet is sent to all registered nodes.
