On a leaf, a MAC is learned from a local access port while another MAC for a remote host arrives via EVPN. How do those learning paths differ?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Local MACs walk in the front door on the access port; remote MACs arrive as EVPN mail (Type-2) from other VTEPs. One is data-plane local learn, the other is control-plane remote install — not underlay IPv4 unicast tricks.
Full Explanation
CE-facing interfaces learn local MACs from data-plane frames on the access/BD. Remote MACs are typically installed from EVPN Type-2 advertisements in the control plane rather than flooding dependency alone. Underlay unlabeled BGP, static-only remote MACs, and claiming remotes never appear in the MAC table are incorrect.
