JNCIS-Cloud: Juniper Networks Certified Specialist – Cloud (2022) — Question 5

You have deployed a Contrail cluster that must support bare-metal servers.
Which protocol is used to communicate between the bare-metal server's virtual tunnel endpoints and the Contrail cluster to establish sessions with the VM servers?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, EVPN/VXLAN, as it is specifically designed to support the connectivity needs of both bare-metal and virtual servers within a Contrail cluster. Options A (SRTP) and D (XMPP) are not applicable for establishing sessions between bare-metal servers and the cluster, while C (BGP) is primarily used for routing rather than session establishment.
