JNCIP-DC: Juniper Networks Certified Professional – Data Center (2024) — Question 21

Which statement is correct about a collapsed fabric EVPN-VXLAN architecture?

Answer options

• A. Fully meshed back-to-back links are needed between the spine devices.
• B. Border gateway functions occur on border leaf devices.
• C. It supports multiple vendors in the fabric as long as all the spine devices are Juniper devices deployed with L2 VTEPs.
• D. Using Virtual Chassis at the leaf layer increases resiliency.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because border leaf devices indeed handle the border gateway functions in a collapsed fabric EVPN-VXLAN architecture. Option A is incorrect since a fully meshed configuration is not a requirement. Option C is false because it limits the vendor diversity unnecessarily. Option D, while it may enhance resilience, is not specifically a characteristic of a collapsed fabric architecture.
