QuestionQ249

Network Design

An ISP is assessing options to deliver IP mobility between two hosting centers in separate cities, approximately 100 km apart. The ISP needs to enable Layer 2 host migration between the sites across a Layer 3 network for any customer VLAN. The solution must scale to 500 customers, with 100 VLANs assigned to each customer. Which technology must the ISP deploy?

  • A vPC
  • B LISP
  • C OTV
  • D VXLAN EVPN
Explanation

VXLAN EVPN extends Layer 2 segments across a Layer 3 underlay and uses EVPN to distribute endpoint reachability and support host mobility. Its 24-bit VNI namespace supports up to roughly 16 million segments, so it can accommodate the required 50,000 customer VLANs while preserving tenant segmentation.
