VMware NSX-T Data Center (VCP-NV 2020) — Question 50

Which network virtualization technologies can be used with an Ethernet VPN (EVPN) deployment in NSX-T Data Center? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN)
• B. Multiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol (MP-BGP)
• C. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
• D. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
• E. Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

The correct answers are A and E because VXLAN is used to encapsulate Layer 2 Ethernet frames over Layer 3 networks, and VRF allows for multiple routing instances on the same device, which is essential for isolating traffic in an EVPN deployment. Options B, C, and D are not directly used for Ethernet VPN in NSX-T; while they are routing or switching protocols, they do not provide the same level of network virtualization as VXLAN and VRF.
