Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 888

What is one characteristic of VXLAN?

Answer options

• A. It supports a maximum of 4096 VLANs
• B. It supports multitenant segments
• C. It uses STP to prevent loops in the underlay network
• D. It uses the Layer 2 header to transfer packets through the network underlay

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because VXLAN is specifically designed to support multitenant environments by creating isolated segments. Option A is incorrect as VXLAN can support a much larger number of segments than 4096. Option C is wrong since VXLAN does not rely on STP, and option D is misleading because VXLAN encapsulates packets in a UDP frame, not just the Layer 2 header.
