JNCIP-DC: Juniper Networks Certified Professional – Data Center (2023) — Question 30

You are asked to deploy an Ethernet bridging design in a data center with the following criteria:
– routing must occur on the leaf devices,
– VTEPs must terminate on the leaf devices,
– facilitate inter-VLAN communication,
– lower latency with East-West traffic.
Which architecture should you use in this scenario?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct choice is C, edge-routed bridging architecture, as it allows routing to occur on the leaf devices and supports inter-VLAN communication while minimizing latency for East-West traffic. Option A, centrally-routed bridging, would not satisfy the requirement of routing on leaf devices. Option B, collapsed spine architecture, is not focused on bridging and may not meet the specified criteria. Option D, bridge overlay architecture, could introduce additional complexity and potential latency issues.
