Which component performsVXLAN encapsulation and de-encapsulation?

In anEVPN-VXLANarchitecture, theVXLAN 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.
