Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 277

What is the function of a VTEP in VXLAN?

Answer options

• A. provide the routing underlay and overlay for VXLAN headers
• B. dynamically discover the location of end hosts in a VXLAN fabric
• C. encapsulate and de-encapsulate traffic into and out of the VXLAN fabric
• D. statically point to end host locations of the VXLAN fabric

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, describes the primary function of a VTEP, which is to encapsulate and de-encapsulate packets for transmission across the VXLAN. Options A and B do not accurately reflect the specific duties of a VTEP, while D suggests a static method of addressing that is not the norm in a VXLAN environment.
