A route-target mismatch causes a municipal leaf to drop all EVPN Type-2 routes for a tenant. What does that symptom reinforce about EVPN route types?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Wrong route targets are like mailing packages with the wrong ZIP—Type-2 never gets opened on that leaf. EVPN still rides BGP VPN membership rules: import/export must match or the host ads are discarded. Route type alone does not skip RT checks.
Full Explanation
EVPN NLRIs, including Type-2, are accepted into a routing instance only when route-target import/export policy matches. A mismatch drops usable Type-2 state even if peers are up. Targets are not limited to Type-5 or underlay IPv4 unicast; membership is fundamental to MP-BGP EVPN.
