The data center DC1 uses VXLAN technology The company asked a service provider to design another
data center called DC2 and stretch EVPN information between the data centers based on the same
technology The fabric requires
•
endpoint information propagated end-to-end across both data centers
•
misconfiguration replicated from DC1 to DC2
Which actions must the design include in DC2 to meet these criteria?

It’s A since matching the BGP AS 65500 ensures proper EVPN route propagation, and RIP, though simple, is the only underlay option paired with that AS here. The other protocols don’t align as well with the given AS numbers.
It’s A for me. Matching the BGP AS at 65500 is key since you want to keep the EVPN fabric consistent end-to-end between DC1 and DC2. While RIP isn’t ideal for underlay, it’s the only one listed that pairs with the correct AS number. Options with 65501 don’t match the original DC1 AS, so they’d break the EVPN peering, which messes up endpoint info propagation and misconfiguration replication. So even though RIP isn’t perfect, sticking to the same BGP AS looks like the dealbreaker here.
It’s C because you want to keep BGP AS at 65501 for EVPN consistency, and while RIP isn’t ideal, it’s what the options suggest for underlay here. EIGRP or IGRP aren’t mentioned as viable in this case.
Option A seems wrong; RIP is too basic for underlay in VXLAN EVPN setups.
B tbh, EIGRP makes more sense than RIP or IGRP here since it’s more robust for the underlay. Plus, AS 65501 matches the typical private range for such setups, so option B seems cleaner.
This question feels a bit tricky since it’s mixing EVPN and VXLAN with underlay IGPs that are kinda outdated or uncommon in modern DC designs. Options mention RIP, EIGRP, and IGRP, which aren’t typical choices for data center underlay these days; usually OSPF or IS-IS is preferred. Also, the BGP AS numbers differ between answers. The key part might be matching AS numbers to keep the EVPN stretch consistent. But the IGP choice here is confusing because EIGRP or IGRP wouldn’t be best practice in a new fabric. So, this one feels ambiguous and maybe relies on legacy design hints from the exhibit?
