300-620 · Question #290

Which tunnel endpoint is shown in this output from interface Io0?

The correct answer is A. physical. The interface output from Io0 indicates a tunnel endpoint that is directly associated with a physical interface, signifying its role in encapsulating and decapsulating traffic on a physical network device.

Why each option

The interface output from Io0 indicates a tunnel endpoint that is directly associated with a physical interface, signifying its role in encapsulating and decapsulating traffic on a physical network device.

AphysicalCorrect

A physical tunnel endpoint refers to a VTEP (VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint) where the logical tunnel terminates on a physical device, such as a leaf switch in Cisco ACI. This endpoint uses the physical interface's IP address (or a loopback bound to a physical interface) as its source and destination for VXLAN encapsulation and decapsulation, making it a physical termination point for the overlay network.

Bfabric

While the tunnel endpoint is part of the overall fabric, 'fabric' describes the entire network infrastructure, not a specific type of tunnel endpoint.

Cdynamic

A dynamic tunnel endpoint would imply that the endpoint is established on demand or changes frequently, which is not the primary characteristic being described if the answer is 'physical'.

Dheadend replication

Headend replication is a method for handling broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast (BUM) traffic over tunnels by replicating packets at the ingress VTEP, not a classification of the tunnel endpoint itself.
