QuestionQ92

EVPN-VXLAN Signaling

You administer an IP fabric with an EVPN-VXLAN overlay. Multiple tenants are isolated by using several unique VRF instances. You need to identify the routing information that should be placed in each routing instance’s routing table.

In this scenario, which property is used for that purpose?

  • A the VRF target community.
  • B the route distinguisher value
  • C the routing instance type
  • D the VRF table label
Explanation

A VRF target community is a route-target extended community used for VRF route sharing. Matching route targets in the import policy determine which EVPN/VPN routes are imported into a routing instance’s table, thereby keeping tenant routing information separated. A route distinguisher only makes routes unique; it does not control route import.
