You can configure some settings that apply to all gateways.

The settings EVPN BFD Profile and Enable EVPN BFD are required by the EVPN feature to support layer-2 ECMP and BFD. For more information, see Ethernet VPN (EVPN). For information about adding or editing a BFD profile, see Add an NSX BFD Profile.
You must ensure that:
  • Intermediate routers do not have MTU lower than the Edge TEP/RTEP MTU.
  • For a federated setup, verify that either the MTU of an intermediate router is greater than the Edge TEP/RTEP MTU or the intermediate router has ICMP errors (Fragmentation Needed) enabled so that the Edge can do PMTU discovery.
