Question

Operations asks why the city should use GBP instead of creating a separate VNI for every application tier that needs isolation. What advantage should be emphasized?

Accepted Answer

GBP enables group policy within or across groups without exploding VNI count for every tier. — VNIs are whole apartments; GBP is locks on the interior doors. You can keep one apartment and still stop the cameras from wandering into finance. Spinning a new VNI for every tier is how fabrics drown in overlay sprawl.

Answer

Separate VNIs are always preferred because GBP cannot enforce any east-west controls.

Answer

GBP eliminates the need for EVPN entirely once groups are defined.

Answer

One VNI per host is mandatory before GBP tags can be assigned.
