A leaf shows established IPv4 unicast BGP to the spines but installs no EVPN routes for municipal tenants. What should operators check first in MBGP terms?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
IPv4 unicast UP is necessary underlay chatter, but EVPN is a different address family. If that family never negotiated, tenant routes stay invisible—like having a phone dial tone but no line to the overlay office. Check EVPN AFI/SAFI before blaming RIP or LLDP folklore.
Full Explanation
A session can be up for IPv4 unicast while EVPN remains unnegotiated or unconfigured, yielding an empty EVPN RIB. Operators must verify MP-BGP EVPN family capability and related group/family configuration. RIP redistribution, converting Type-2 into OSPF externals, or clearing LLDP are not the primary MBGP corrective path.
