During a large civic VM evacuation, the stitch gateway CPU spikes while MAC/IP routes churn across the DCI. What should the ops team monitor and plan for?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Mass MAC moves make the stitch gateway the busy dispatcher—CPU and BGP EVPN churn climb together. Watch control-plane load and keep spare capacity for migration days. Hoping CRCs on access ports tell that story will miss the spike.
Full Explanation
DCI/stitch gateways process EVPN updates during mobility and scale events; CPU and session/route churn are first-class monitoring signals. Capacity planning should include migration windows. Access CRC counters alone are insufficient; disabling mobility or freezing all VMs permanently is not an operational monitoring answer.
