You are adding a server lo a tenant's network within your data center and must limit access to a specific traffic type within the tenant network without pushing all tenant traffic through a firewall.
What will satisfy this requirement?
Understanding ERB Architecture:
ERB (Edge Routed Bridging) architecture is a network design where the routing occurs at the edge (leaf devices) rather than in the spine devices. In a VXLAN overlay network with EVPN as the control plane, leaf devices typically act as both Layer 2 (L2) and Layer 3 (L3) VXLAN gateways.
Placement of VXLAN Gateways:
Option B: All leaf devices will have L2 VXLAN gateways to handle the bridging of VLAN traffic into VXLAN tunnels.
Option C: All leaf devices will also have L3 VXLAN gateways to route traffic between different VXLAN segments (VNIs) and external networks.
Option E: Spine devices in an ERB architecture generally do not function as VXLAN gateways. They primarily focus on forwarding traffic between leaf nodes and do not handle VXLAN encapsulation/decapsulation.
Conclusion:
Option B: Correct---All leaf devices will have L2 VXLAN gateways.
Option C: Correct---All leaf devices will have L3 VXLAN gateways.
Option E: Correct---Spine devices will not act as VXLAN gateways
