InEVPN-VXLAN,BUM (Broadcast, Unknown unicast, and Multicast)traffic is handled differently than unicast traffic. EVPN provides two main forwarding mechanisms to distribute BUM traffic betweenVTEPs(VXLAN Tunnel Endpoints):
“BUM traffic in EVPN-VXLAN fabrics is replicated using eitheringress replicationorunderlay multicast(PIM-based). Both methods ensure that broadcast and unknown unicast frames reach all remote VTEPs within the same VXLAN segment.”
Option A:Incorrect — static routes are unrelated to BUM forwarding.
Option B:Incorrect — BGP is thecontrol plane, not a data-plane forwarding method.
Option C:Correct—Ingress replicationreplicates BUM packets to all remote VTEPs in the same VNI using unicast tunnels.
Option D:Correct—Underlay replication (multicast)uses multicast groups in the IP underlay to distribute BUM frames efficiently.
