JNCIP-ENT: Juniper Networks Certified Professional – Enterprise Routing (2024) — Question 43

A Layer 2 connection does not expend across data centers. The IP subnet in a Layer 2 domain is confined within a single data center.
Which EVPN route type is used to communicate prefixes between the data centers?

Answer options

• A. Type 1
• B. Type 2
• C. Type 4
• D. Type 5

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Type 5 routes are specifically designed for inter-data center communication of IP prefixes. The other route types (Type 1, Type 2, and Type 4) serve different functions such as MAC advertisement or Ethernet segment routes, but they do not facilitate the exchange of prefixes between data centers.
