Thanks Robby for your reply. This issue turned out to be a config issue at our end. I have another question, this time related to VXLAN-GPE. The documentation link that u provide says :

You can configure a VXLAN Generic Protocol Extension (GPE) tunnel when you want to add fields to the VXLAN header. One of these fields is Next Protocol, with values for Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6, and Network Service Header (NSH).

 

I want to specify Next Protocol as IPv4, but I couldnt find a knob to change the default Next Protocol, which seems to be L2. Any ideas on how to do this ?
