Which two differences must an engineer consider when choosing between Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is B. VPLS is a Layer 2 VPN and MPLS/BGP VPN is a Layer 3 VPN. D. E-VPN is a Layer 2 VPN and IPsec is a Layer 3 VPN. VPLS vs. MPLS/BGP VPN: VPLS provides an Ethernet-based Layer 2 VPN service over an MPLS core, transparently extending customer VLAN domains. In contrast, MPLS/BGP VPNs operate at Layer 3, exchanging IP routes and using VRFs to segregate customer IP spaces. E-VPN vs. IPsec: EVPN…

Explanation

VPLS vs. MPLS/BGP VPN: VPLS provides an Ethernet-based Layer 2 VPN service over an MPLS core, transparently extending customer VLAN domains. In contrast, MPLS/BGP VPNs operate at Layer 3, exchanging IP routes and using VRFs to segregate customer IP spaces. E-VPN vs. IPsec: EVPN is a modern Ethernet (Layer 2) VPN solution leveraging BGP for MAC route distribution, while IPsec creates secure Layer 3 tunnels by encapsulating and encrypting IP
