Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN, legacy) — Question 27

During the design of a new campus network, the customer requests the ability to route overlapping IP addresses. What technology can be leveraged to meet this request?

Answer options

• A. VRF
• B. VLANs
• C. VSS
• D. VPC

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding), which allows multiple instances of a routing table to exist on the same router, enabling the routing of overlapping IP addresses. VLANs, VSS, and VPC do not provide this capability as they are focused on different aspects of networking, such as segmentation and redundancy, rather than routing overlapping addresses.
