QuestionQ41

L3 EVPN

Which of these statements regarding an L3 EVPN network that uses symmetric routing is FALSE?

  • A Each participating PE must support the use of EVPN route-type 5.
  • B Ingress and egress PEs perform MAC and IP forwarding.
  • C A routed-VXLAN interface is required on a per IP-VRF basis.
  • D Each MAC-VRF used in the L3 EVPN network must exist on each PE.
Explanation

Symmetric routing uses a per-VRF L3VNI as a transit VNI, while a PE needs to host only its local VLANs and their associated L2 VNIs. Consequently, a MAC-VRF does not have to exist on every PE in the EVPN network; only PEs serving that Layer-2 segment require it.
