JNCIP-DC: Juniper Networks Certified Professional – Data Center (2023) — Question 21

You are asked to deploy an Ethernet bridging design in a data center with the criteria shown below.
– Routing must occur on the spine devices.
– VTEPs must terminate on the leaf devices.
– Facilitate inter-VLAN communication.
– Layer 2 gateways must be present on spine and leaf devices.
Which architecture should you use in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. bridge overlay architecture
• B. edge-routed bridging architecture
• C. centrally-routed bridging architecture
• D. collapsed spine architecture

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The edge-routed bridging architecture is correct because it allows routing to occur on spine devices while terminating VTEPs on the leaf devices, thus facilitating inter-VLAN communication. The other options either do not meet the requirement of routing on the spine devices or do not properly integrate the necessary Layer 2 gateways.
