Implementing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCII, legacy) — Question 5

Which statement accurately describes MP-BGP EVPN?

Answer options

• A. MP-BGP EVPN is a Layer 3 overlay alternative to VXLANs.
• B. The control plane of the VXLAN overcomes the flood-and-learn limitations of MP-BGP EVPN.
• C. The MP-BGP EVPN control plane overcomes the flood-and-learn limitations of the VXLAN.
• D. MP-BGP EVPN is a Layer 2 overlay alternative to VXLANs.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the VXLAN control plane indeed manages to surpass the flood-and-learn limitations inherent in MP-BGP EVPN. Options A and D incorrectly categorize MP-BGP EVPN as a Layer 3 or Layer 2 alternative to VXLANs. Option C reverses the relationship by suggesting that MP-BGP EVPN resolves issues for VXLAN, which is not accurate.
