Which of the following is NOT part of the description of a BGP route-distinguisher?
A.
The route-distinguisher is a unique identifier that is configured per PE and per EVI.
B.

D.

The Answer Is:
D
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed 150 to 250 words of Explanation From [SR Linux EVPN and Data Center Interconnect/Course Guide/topics]:
A route distinguisher is used in MP-BGP VPN and EVPN address families to make otherwise overlapping tenant routes unique in the BGP control plane. In EVPN, different tenants or EVPN instances may legitimately use the same MAC or IP values. The route distinguisher makes the NLRI globally unique by prepending a unique value to the tenant route. It is typically unique per PE and per EVI, and it is carried in EVPN route advertisements. However, the route distinguisher does not control route import, export, or service membership. That role belongs to the route target, which is a BGP extended community used by receiving PEs to decide which EVPN instance should import the route. Therefore, option D is not part of the correct description of a route distinguisher. Saying that the RD identifies the EVPN instance in the control plane confuses RD uniqueness with route-target membership. The RD makes routes unique; the route target associates those routes with the appropriate MAC-VRF or IP-VRF import policy. Reference: EVPN route distinguisher, overlapping tenant addresses, route target separation.
