City architects want to know which protocol carries EVPN routes for the municipal VXLAN fabric. Which answer is correct?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
EVPN rides on MP-BGP—the same BGP family toolkit, just the EVPN address family carrying MAC/IP and related routes. IS-IS, nightly FTP MAC dumps, and LLDP are not that control plane. When the city asks what “carries EVPN,” answer Multiprotocol BGP EVPN AFI/SAFI.
Full Explanation
EVPN signaling for VXLAN uses Multiprotocol BGP with the EVPN address family so peers exchange Type-2 MAC/IP routes and other EVPN route types. Deployments may use iBGP with route reflectors or other BGP designs, but the carrying protocol remains MP-BGP EVPN—not IS-IS MAC flooding, file transfer of MAC tables, or LLDP. Validating EVPN AFI/SAFI negotiation and route-target import/export is a standard JNCIP-DC troubleshooting step when overlay learning fails.
