JNCIP-DC: Juniper Networks Certified Professional – Data Center (2022) — Question 8

You are configuring VXLAN, and you must ensure that all switches for the multicast groups advertise their existence and learn about other VTEPs.
In this scenario, which protocol will accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. OSPF
• B. BGP
• C. EVPN
• D. PIM

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is EVPN, as it is specifically designed to provide the control plane for VXLAN and effectively manages the advertisement of VTEPs and multicast group membership. OSPF and BGP are traditional routing protocols that do not inherently support VXLAN functions, while PIM is primarily used for multicast routing but does not handle VTEP discovery.
