EVPN Multi-homingenablesactive-active redundancy without inter-switch linksby usingoverlay routingover VXLAN and distributed control plane using BGP EVPN.
From the officialNVIDIA Cumulus Linux EVPN Multihoming Documentation:
"EVPN multihoming allows multiple Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches to connect to the same server while maintaining full layer-2 redundancy without the need for inter-switch links or traditional MLAG configuration."
Key benefits:
Simplified topology (no ISL/peer-link needed)
BGP-based control plane
Fast convergence
Active-active links per host NIC
Incorrect Options:
MLAGrequires ISL between switches and peer-link configuration.
VSS(Virtual Switching System) is a Cisco term, not supported in NVIDIA networking.
