JNCIS-DCD: Juniper Networks Certified Specialist – Data Center Deployment — Question 24

Which statement is correct about an MP-BGP route-target?

Answer options

• A. The route target is used to identify neighboring BGP routers that support the EVPN family.
• B. It is used by BGP to notify other BGP routers that it is EVPN enabled.
• C. It is used to identify the source and destination VRFs of MP-BGP routes.
• D. The route target is automatically created and must be unique for each VRF.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the route-target is essential for identifying the source and destination Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instances in MP-BGP routes. Options A and B incorrectly describe the purpose of the route-target in relation to neighboring routers and EVPN capabilities, while option D is incorrect since route-targets can be manually configured and are not always automatically created.
