A township imports EVPN Type-5 prefixes and expects Layer 2 VNI stretching for the same broadcast domain. What correction should the engineer make?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Importing Type-5 is like sharing road maps between towns—great for IP prefixes, not the same as stretching one big LAN party. L2 stretch still needs the Layer 2 EVPN pieces (MAC/IMET and the VNI). Do not expect Type-5 alone to glue broadcast domains together.
Full Explanation
Type-5 IP Prefix routes enable Layer 3 EVPN reachability between subnets or VRFs. Layer 2 stretch of a broadcast domain relies on L2 VNI constructs and Type-2/Type-3 (and related) signaling, not Type-5 alone. Type-5 neither replaces MAC/IMET for L2 nor inherently mandates fabric-wide unknown-unicast flooding.
