## AI overview

A lab tutorial demonstrates routing between VXLAN segments using unique unicast IP addresses on Layer 3 switches and the EVPN control plane. The lab can run on netlab-enabled infrastructure, a free GitHub Codespace, or an Apple-silicon Mac.

## Source excerpt

In the previous EVPN/VXLAN lab exercises, we covered the basics of Ethernet bridging over VXLAN and the use of the EVPN control plane to build layer-2 segments. It's time to move up the protocol stack. Let's see how you can route between VXLAN segments, this time using unique unicast IP addresses on the layer-3 switches. Explore the lab exercise You can run the lab on your own netlab-enabled infrastructure (more details), but also within a free GitHub Codespace or even on your Apple-silicon Mac (installation, using Arista cEOS container, using VXLAN/EVPN labs).
