HPE Aruba Certified Campus Access Expert (ACAEX) — Question 13

A customer is using a legacy application that communicates at layer-2. The customer would like to keep this application working across the campus, which is connected via layer-3. The legacy devices are connected to CX 6300 switches throughout the campus.
Which technology minimizes flooding so the legacy application can work efficiently?

Answer options

• A. Ethernet over IP (EoIP)
• B. Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE)
• C. Static VXLAN
• D. EVPN-VXLAN

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, EVPN-VXLAN, as it efficiently manages layer-2 traffic over a layer-3 network while minimizing flooding. Options A, B, and C do not provide the same level of traffic management or efficiency for layer-2 communication in this scenario.
