Routing Fundamentals

The QFX5100 can be configured as a virtual tunnel endpoint (VTEP) in your Clos IP fabric.

What is the significance of this capability?

  • A It allows the QFX5100 to perform the PE role of an EVPN.
  • B It allows attached bare metal servers to communicate using an overlay VXLAN network.
  • C It prevents the QFX5100 from learning the MAC addresses of an overlay network.
  • D It allows the QFX5100 to perform the PE role of a Layer 2 pseudowire.
Explanation

A hardware VTEP can encapsulate and decapsulate VXLAN traffic for devices that cannot operate as VTEPs themselves, such as bare-metal servers. This enables those attached servers to communicate across the Layer 3 fabric through a VXLAN overlay network.
