Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 887

Which technology reduces the implementation of STP and leverages both unicast and multicast?

Answer options

• A. VLAN
• B. VPC
• C. VXLAN
• D. VSS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

VXLAN is designed to encapsulate Layer 2 Ethernet frames in Layer 3 packets, allowing for greater scalability and efficiency, which reduces the need for Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). The other options, while related to network management, do not provide the same benefits in terms of unicast and multicast traffic handling as VXLAN does.
