In VXLAN fabrics, it is quite common to build the underlay using unnumbered links. Running OSPF over Unnumbered Ethernet Interfaces. Packet Forwarding and Routing over Unnumbered Interfaces.Ivan wrote a couple of great posts on unnumbered links: This post is going to be a real deep dive! First, I want to send my sincere thanks to the maestro Peter PalĂșch and the guru Ivan Pepelnjak for helping me research this topic.
