Spine and Leaf, BGP EVPN environment: can you ping from the unicast gateway to a remote server connected to an orphan port?

Hi guys

Here is a scenario that seems tricky to me and I did not realize that and I still don't know how it works, I only guess, will have to test tomorrow but I wanted to hear some opinions, maybe I am missing something obvious (again)

So I have a S&L with two pair of leaves (running VPC, anycast gateway, BGP EVPN)I have on orphan port/single link server on the pair A,B , more exactly in vlan 100 on switch A. Vlan 100 is in a VRF (PROD). Int vlan 100 has IP: 10.100.100.1 (anycast gateway on all switches)

​

Now assume that I have no other hosts to test connectivity end to end and I want to use one of the other two leaves (C,D) to ping across the S&L to the single arm server

Assuming I am on switch C , I will have to run something link this:

ping "ip_of_single_arm_server" vrf PROD.

Switch C must use the int Vlan 100 IP (10.100.100.1) as source since the destination is in the same vlan. When the server responds it will respond to this IP but the IP is ..local (local anycast gateway) and for this reason the ping fails

​

Is there any other way to test this, other than installing another server on switch C or D in vlan 100?

​

Correction: in the subject line I meant Anycast gateway
