Challenges of Static VXLAN Tunnel Configuration
Astatic VXLAN tunnelrequires manualVTEP-to-VTEP configuration, making it complex to maintain.
✅A. Heavy configuration workload in a distributed gateway scenario
Static VXLAN requires manual configuration of VTEP mappings, making itdifficult to scale and adjustwhen adding new VTEPs.
✅B. Remote MAC addresses are learned through data flooding
UnlikeBGP EVPN-based VXLAN, whichadvertises MAC/IP bindings through BGP,static VXLAN relies on flooding for MAC learning, causingexcessive traffic.
✅D. N(N-1)/2 tunnels are required for full mesh connectivity
IfN devices need to communicate, each must be manually configured withN(N-1)/2 VXLAN tunnels, leading tohigh administrative overhead.
Incorrect Statement Explanation:
❌C. Static VXLAN tunnels use protocols on the control plane, consuming device resources.
Wrong!Static VXLANdoes not use a control plane protocollike BGP EVPN.
Instead,it relies entirely on static mappings, reducing control plane usage.
