Which component performs VXLAN encapsulation and de-encapsulation?

Question

Options

• AVLAN
• BVTEP
• Croot bridge
• DWXLAN policy

• A
  6% (1)
• B
  78% (14)
• C
  11% (2)
• D
  6% (1)

Explanation

In an EVPN-VXLAN architecture, the VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) is responsible for encapsulating and de-encapsulating Layer 2 Ethernet frames into VXLAN packets that traverse the IP underlay. "Each device participating in a VXLAN overlay operates as a VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP). The VTEP encapsulates Ethernet frames into VXLAN headers for transmission and de-encapsulates VXLAN packets back into Ethernet frames upon receipt." Option A: Incorrect -- VLAN is a Layer 2 construct, not responsible for encapsulation. Option B: Correct -- VTEP handles VXLAN encapsulation and de-encapsulation. Option C: Incorrect -- root bridge pertains to STP, not VXLAN. Option D: Incorrect -- WXLAN policy is not a valid networking term in Juniper documentation.
