Geneve encapsulation adds header bytes to every overlay frame on the municipal underlay. What implication should operators identify?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Wrapping a letter in a thicker envelope makes the package bigger. Geneve adds header bytes, so the physical underlay needs a larger MTU—or overlay packets fragment. BLAST settings and sensors do not cancel that overhead.
Full Explanation
Geneve encapsulation adds header overhead to each overlay frame, so the underlay must support a larger MTU than the guest MTU or encapsulated packets fragment. Operators identify that implication; this exam does not require calculating a specific MTU. Overlay does not shrink underlay MTU, and Horizon BLAST or Carbon Black settings do not remove Geneve overhead.
