QuestionQ12

Data Center Network Design

You need to extend Layer 2 traffic across two data centers.

Which three open-standard protocols could be used for this task?

Choose three
  • A EVPN
  • B OTV
  • C VPLS
  • D FabricPath
  • E GRE
Explanation

EVPN provides virtual Layer 2 bridged connectivity, and VPLS joins separate LANs across a packet-switched network so they function as one LAN. GRE is an IETF-standard encapsulation protocol that can provide the tunnel transport for Layer 2 traffic. These are open standards, whereas OTV and FabricPath are vendor-specific Cisco technologies.
