Abstract
Techniques and architecture are described for providing broadcast/multicast support using VXLAN in and among private on-premises/cloud networks and public cloud networks by defining peer groups comprising VXLAN tunnel endpoints (VTEPs) within clustered network security devices. For example, a static peer group comprising two or more virtual extensible local access network (VXLAN) tunnel end points (VTEPs) is defined. The two or more VTEPs may each comprise a data interface of a network security device. Based at least in part on the static peer group, an overlay network comprising the two or more VTEPs is defined. A network security device discovers available VTEPs within the static peer group. The network security device establishes a mesh network of available VTEPs.
