On VTEP1, the information shown in the figure is displayed through the command. Which of the following descriptions is correct?

Question

Exhibit

Options

• AThis route will definitely carry L3 VNI information when it is advertised to the outside world.
• BThis is an EVPN Type 5 route
• CThis is an EVPN Type3 route
• DThe route carries both MAC information and host IP information.

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  14% (4)
• C
  7% (2)
• D
  76% (22)

Explanation

Option D is correct because the route shown is an EVPN Type 2 (MAC/IP Advertisement) route, which is specifically designed to carry both a MAC address and an associated host IP address together. This is the core function of Type 2 routes in EVPN - binding Layer 2 MAC information to Layer 3 host IP information for distributed routing and bridging across VXLAN fabrics.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because L3 VNI is only included in Type 2 advertisements when symmetric IRB is configured and a host IP is present - it is not guaranteed ("definitely") in all cases.
• B is wrong because Type 5 is the IP Prefix Route, used to advertise IP prefixes (subnets) for inter-subnet routing - it carries no MAC information.
• C is wrong because Type 3 is the Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag (IMET) Route, used to signal BUM (Broadcast, Unknown unicast, Multicast) tunnel membership - it carries neither MAC nor host IP.

Memory tip: Use the phrase "Type 2 = Two things = MAC + IP" to remember that Type 2 is the only EVPN route type that bundles both a MAC address and a host IP in a single advertisement. Types 3 and 5 are "one-dimensional" - multicast signaling and IP prefixes only, respectively.
