In an EVPN operation how does the PE determine and advertise Ethernet segment reachability?

The correct answer is B. The PE discovers remote ESIs and determines their redundancy mode. At startup, PEs exchange EVPN routes in order to advertise the following: ===VPN membership===: The PE discovers all remote PE members of a given EVI.

Question

In an EVPN operation how does the PE determine and advertise Ethernet segment reachability?

Options

  • AThe PE discovers and shares routing information for the B-MAC addresses associated with local
  • BThe PE discovers remote ESIs and determines their redundancy mode.
  • CThe PE discovers the remote PEs in the EVI and builds a flood list linked with the EVI.
  • DThe PE discovers other PEs in the same Ethernet segment and elects a DF.

Explanation

At startup, PEs exchange EVPN routes in order to advertise the following: ===VPN membership===: The PE discovers all remote PE members of a given EVI. In the case of a multicast ingress replication model, this information is used to build the PEs flood list associated with an EVI. BUM labels and unicast labels are exchanged when MAC addresses are learned. ===Ethernet segment reachability===: In multihoming scenarios, the PE auto-discovers remote PE and their corresponding redundancy mode (all-active or single-active). In case of segment failures, PEs withdraw the routes used at this stage in order to trigger fast convergence by signaling a MAC mass withdrawal on remote ===Redundancy Group membership===: PEs connected to the same Ethernet segment (multihoming) automatically discover each other and elect a Designated Forwarder (DF) that is responsible for forwarding Broadcast, Unknown unicast and Multicast (BUM) traffic for a given EVI.
