Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 338

What are two characteristics of VXLAN? (Choose two)

Answer options

• A. It lacks support for host mobility.
• B. It uses VTEPs to encapsulate and decapsulate frames.
• C. It allows for up to 16 million VXLAN segments.
• D. It extends Layer 2 and Layer 3 overlay networks over a Layer 2 underlay.
• E. It has a 12-bit network identifier.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Option B is correct because VXLAN uses Virtual Tunnel Endpoints (VTEPs) to manage frame encapsulation and decapsulation. Option C is also correct as VXLAN can provide up to 16 million unique segments. The other options are incorrect as VXLAN does support host mobility and does not limit the network identifier to 12 bits.
