Type 2
C.
Type 3
D.
Type 4
The Answer Is:
A, D
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
In an EVPN-VXLAN environment, different BGP route types serve distinct purposes in building the control plane. The Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI) is a unique 10-byte identifier used to represent a multi-homed segment.
Type 1: Ethernet Auto-Discovery (A-D) Route (Option A): This route type is essential for multi-homing scenarios. It carries the ESI to support features like fast convergence and aliasing. By advertising an A-D route per Ethernet Segment, a PE tells other routers that it is connected to that specific ESI. It does not carry individual host MAC addresses; instead, it provides a "mass withdraw" mechanism to quickly update paths if the entire segment goes down.
Type 4: Ethernet Segment Route (Option D): This route is used exclusively for Designated Forwarder (DF) election. It advertises the existence of an ESI and the ES-Import Route Target to all other PE routers. This allows PE routers connected to the same multi-homed segment to discover each other automatically and elect a DF to handle BUM traffic. Like Type 1, it focuses on the segment identity and does not include MAC addresses.
Type 2: MAC/IP Advertisement Route (Option B): This is the primary route used for host reachability. It must include a MAC address (and optionally an IP). While it also includes the ESI to indicate which segment the host is behind, its primary function is MAC advertisement.
Type 3: Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag Route (Option C): This route is used for VTEP discovery and building the replication list for BUM traffic. It identifies the VTEP's IP and the VNI, but it does not carry the ESI or MAC addresses.
