You are setting up a single EVPN VXLAN fabric for a data center. A customer has one ESXi cluster in racks 1-3 that uses VLAN 10 for VMs in subnet 10.1.10.0/24. The customer has another ESXi cluster in racks 4-6 that uses VLAN 10 for VMs in subnet 10.2.10.0/24.
Which is correct?
- A . You can map VLAN 10 to different VNIs on the same switches if you place VLAN 10 in multiple VRFs
- B . You must tell the customer to change the VLAN ID in racks 4-6 to a unique ID
- C . You can use subnets rather than VLANs for VNI mappings so you can use the same configuration everywhere
- D . You can map VLAN 10 to one VNI on switches in racks 1-3 and to a different VNI on switches in racks 4-6
When Data Centers are in the same campus, a simple solution could be a VSX LAG between pairs of VSX switches that allows the extension of L2 domains:
