Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 78

Which action is a function of VTEP in VXLAN?

Answer options

• A. tunneling traffic from IPv6 to IPv4 VXLANs
• B. allowing encrypted communication on the local VXLAN Ethernet segment
• C. encapsulating and de-encapsulating VXLAN Ethernet frames
• D. tunneling traffic from IPv4 to IPv6 VXLANs

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is accurate because VTEP is responsible for the encapsulation and de-encapsulation of VXLAN Ethernet frames, which is crucial for the VXLAN tunneling process. Options A and D incorrectly describe the direction of traffic tunneling that VTEP does not handle, while B discusses encryption, which is not a function of VTEP.
