You are adding a new QFX Series switch to an EVPN-VXLAN IP fabric.

When integrating a QFX Series switch into an EVPN-VXLAN IP fabric, specific BGP and EVPN hierarchy configurations are required to establish the control and data planes:

EVPN Encapsulation (Option A): In Junos OS, the encapsulation vxlan statement must be explicitly configured under the protocols evpn hierarchy. This defines that the EVPN control plane will use VXLAN as the data plane encapsulation method rather than MPLS.

BGP Address Family (Option C): EVPN uses Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) to distribute reachability information. For the control plane to function, you must enable the EVPN signaling address family under the BGP protocol using the command set protocols bgp group < name > family evpn signaling.

Incorrect Options: Option B is incorrect because family vpls is used for traditional VPLS signaled by BGP, not for EVPN-VXLAN. Option D is incorrect because while the loopback interface must be reachable, it is typically advertised via an IGP (like OSPF or IS-IS) to provide the underlay connectivity that BGP then rides upon; BGP itself does not " advertise " the loopback to establish the initial peerings.
