A remote municipal VRF is missing Type-5 prefixes that the local DCI border advertises for L3 interconnect. Where should troubleshooting start conceptually?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Missing Type-5s are usually a guest-list or policy problem—wrong RT, export policy dropping the prefixes, or the VRF not in the club. Start with RT/policy/VRF membership before redesigning the whole underlay. Type-5 is EVPN IP-prefix signaling, not an OSPF LSA scavenger hunt.
Full Explanation
Absent remote Type-5 routes commonly stem from RT mismatch, export/import policy filtering, or incorrect VRF/EVPN instance membership on one side of the L3 DCI. Type-5 is the EVPN IP-prefix route used for L3 interconnect—not an OSPF LSA, and not fixed by switching to GRE or static-only MACs.
