Question Image

With reference to the exhibit, data center DC1 contains two pods within the same broadcast domain. You want to forward multicast traffic only to a host interested in receiving that multicast traffic.

In this scenario, which EVPN route type is required to accomplish this task?

  • A Type 6
  • B Type 8
  • C Type 7
  • D Type 5
Explanation

EVPN Type 6, the Selective Multicast Ethernet Tag (SMET) route, signals multicast receiver interest and enables selective multicast forwarding only to interested receivers rather than flooding multicast traffic throughout the broadcast domain. Type 7 and Type 8 routes are used to synchronize IGMP join and leave state among multihomed peers, and Type 5 routes advertise IP prefixes for Layer 3 forwarding.
