Which two statements are true about EVPN routes for Data Center Interconnect? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is C. Type 2 EVPN routes require a VXLAN tunnel to the protocol next hop. D. Type 5 EVPN routes do not require a VXLAN tunnel to the protocol next hop. Type 5 EVPN routes (IP Prefix Routes) are used for Layer 3 (IP) interconnects between data centers. These routes do not require a VXLAN tunnel because they are IP-routed instead of being MAC-based like Type 2 routes. The next-hop resolution happens at the IP layer, not at the…

Explanation

Type 5 EVPN routes (IP Prefix Routes) are used for Layer 3 (IP) interconnects between data centers. These routes do not require a VXLAN tunnel because they are IP-routed instead of being MAC-based like Type 2 routes. The next-hop resolution happens at the IP layer, not at the VXLAN tunnel level. Type 2 EVPN routes (MAC/IP Advertisement Routes) are used to transport MAC addresses and associated IP addresses of endpoints. Since Type 2 routes are Layer 2-based, they require a VXLAN tunnel between the VTEPs (Virtual Tunnel Endpoints) to forward Ethernet frames
