Which campus fabric architecture supports Layer 3 gateways at the distribution layer?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In Juniper's campus fabric architectures, the location of the Layer 3 gateway (IRB) differentiates between CRB and ERB models:

Centrally-Routed Bridging (CRB): L3 gateways are placed at the core layer.

Edge-Routed Bridging (ERB): L3 gateways are placed at the distribution layer, closer to the edge.

''In the ERB model, Layer 2 gateways are deployed at the access layer, and Layer 3 gateways are deployed at the distribution layer.''

Option A (CRB): Incorrect --- L3 is at the core, not distribution.

Option B (IP Clos): Incorrect --- in 3-stage Clos, L3 is pushed to the access layer.

Option D (EVPN multihoming): Incorrect --- this is about redundancy, not gateway placement.

Option C (ERB): Correct --- L3 gateways sit at the distribution layer in the ERB architecture.

I thought it was A) CRB, but I guess IP Clos is the way to go.

C) campus fabric core/distribution -- edge-routed bridging (ERB) is the way to go. It's like the traffic cop of the campus network.

Ah, the joys of campus fabric architecture. It's like a maze of routers and switches, but with more acronyms than a government agency.

I'm pretty sure the answer is B) campus fabric IP Clos. That's what I learned in my networking class.

EVPN multihoming? More like EVPN multi-headache!

I vaguely recall that D) EVPN multihoming could be related, but I don't think it directly supports Layer 3 gateways at the distribution layer.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I believe it was about CRB and ERB. I feel like I might be mixing them up, though.

I think the answer might be B) campus fabric IP Clos, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember something about Layer 3 gateways being important in that context.

I'm pretty confident the answer is C. ERB puts the Layer 3 gateways at the distribution layer, which matches what the question is asking for.

I'm a bit confused by all the campus fabric terminology. Is ERB the one where the routing happens at the edge rather than the core? I'll need to think this through step-by-step.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is that the question is asking about Layer 3 gateways at the distribution layer, so that points to ERB as the right answer.

It's definitely B) campus fabric IP Clos.

I thought it was A) centrally-routed bridging, but now I'm second-guessing myself. I need to remember the specifics of each architecture.

B) makes sense. IP Clos is popular in modern designs.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'm not totally clear on the details of the different campus fabric architectures. I'll have to review my notes carefully.

I'm pretty sure the answer is C, but I'll need to double-check the differences between CRB and ERB to be sure.
