NOC validates municipal EVPN-VXLAN DCI after a change window. Which checklist best confirms both planes are healthy?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A real DCI health check is a three-part handshake: BGP EVPN talking, the right routes showing up, and VXLAN actually carrying packets. Checking spine CPU or random LLDP alone is theater. Validate control plane and data plane together.
Full Explanation
Sound EVPN-VXLAN DCI validation covers Multiprotocol BGP EVPN session health, exchange of the intended EVPN route types for the design (for example Type-5 for L3 DCI or Type-2 for L2 stretch), and successful VXLAN encapsulation/decapsulation across the interconnect. Spine CPU, access LLDP, or unrelated ZTP status do not substitute for that checklist.
