OTV on CSR1000v Lab environment

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if any of you has already setup some OTV on a Cisco IOS XE in a lab or real environment. I want to test a setup that i will create in a lab to see if it will work.

The OTV Tunnel however will work but i remain with a few questions:

• If i want to span a vlan across the OTV tunnel, so preferable the VLAN that exists in both sites. I need to add this as a bridge domain to the OTV overlay interface. But do i also need to add this on the interface facing the LAN segment (i would think yes?)

For example, this is the configuration you will find on the cisco webpage, but it's not complete by a mile i think.

ip multicast-routing distributed ! otv site bridge-domain 1 otv site-identifier 0000.0000.0050 ! interface overlay 2 otv control-group 225.0.0.1 otv data-group 232.10.10.0/8 otv join-interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/0 no shutdown ! service instance 10 ethernet encapsulation dot1q 100 bridge-domain 200 service instance 11 ethernet encapsulation dot1q 101 bridge-domain 201 ! interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/0 ip address 209.165.200.1 255.255.255.224 ip pim passive ip igmp version 3 ! interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 service instance 1 ethernet encapsulation untagged bridge-domain 1 service instance 50 ethernet encapsulation dot1q 100 bridge-domain 200 service instance 51 ethernet encapsulation dot1q 101 bridge-domain 201 ! ip pim ssm default 

It's missing adding the vlans that span across to the OTV overlay?

Say you build a L3 switch next to the AED's, you can give them an SVI in that vlan and then have your host connect to it as it's default gateway. You still need to tell the L3 switch to forward towards the router of course? Even if you build a trunk link towards the routers interface with the service instances on it?

Also the whole "service instance" configuration in global conf mode does not work.
