Which of the following statements regarding VXLAN tunneling in data centers is false?

  • A VXLAN tunnel endpoints can be on hypervisors, leaf routers, or datacenter gateways.
  • B EVPN routes are exchanged between VXLAN tunnel endpoints.
  • C Each VXLAN tunnel endpoint is automatically assigned with a unique VNI value.
  • D VLXAN tunneling is used to provide Layer 2 connectivity between workloads over a common underlay network.
Explanation

A VXLAN Network Identifier (VNI) identifies a VXLAN Layer 2 segment or virtual network. VTEPs that participate in the same segment use that segment’s VNI; a VTEP instead has its own tunnel IP address. A VNI is therefore not automatically and uniquely assigned to each VTEP.
