Hi,

Fuel doesn't support VxLan at the moment. Fuel developers had R&D project
investigating VxLAN features and OpenStack readiness for VxLAN.
Unfortunately, Openstack components such as Open vSwitch doesn't support
all VxLAN features. Open vSwitch has very limited support of VxLAN without
multicast making tunneling from everyone to everyone over UDP instead of
multicast support. In this case VxLAN doesn't have advantages over GRE
tunneling. It's just yet another tunneling technology. When Open vSwitch
supports multicast and other RFC features, VxLAN will be added to Fuel. I
hope this helps.
