JNCIP-DC: Juniper Networks Certified Professional – Data Center (2024) — Question 16

You are using a single tenant data center with a bridged overlay architecture.
In this scenario, how do hosts of the different virtual networks communicate with each other?

Answer options

• A. using anycast gateway addresses configured on the leaf devices
• B. using EVPN Type 5 routes
• C. off-fabric using an external device
• D. using virtual gateway addresses configured on the spine

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as off-fabric communication typically requires an external device to facilitate interaction between hosts on different virtual networks. Options A and D are incorrect because they refer to internal routing mechanisms that do not address cross-network communication. Option B is also incorrect as EVPN Type 5 routes do not apply in this scenario for inter-network communication.
