The city enables ARP suppression that answers local ARP requests using information learned from EVPN MAC/IP routes. What is the main benefit?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
ARP suppression is like the receptionist who already knows everyone's desk from the directory — no need to shout down every hallway. EVPN MAC/IP learning feeds those proxy replies and cuts ARP floods. Turning EVPN off or killing Type-2 works against that.
Full Explanation
EVPN MAC/IP (Type-2) learning populates bindings that VTEPs can use for ARP/ND suppression or proxy reply, limiting fabric-wide ARP broadcast. That depends on control-plane learning, not reverting to pure flood-and-learn, hairpinning ARP to spines, or withdrawing Type-2 routes.
