What is the primary benefit of using an overlay network like VXLAN in a data center?

It replaces the need for Spanning Tree Protocol in all networks.

It allows Layer 2 segments to span across Layer 3 boundaries.

It increases the maximum Ethernet frame size to 9216 bytes.

It eliminates the need for IP routing in the underlay.

An engineer is configuring VXLAN EVPN on a pair of Nexus 9000 switches. They have already configured the loopback interfaces, NVE interface, and VNIs. What additional configuration is required to enable the BGP EVPN control plane?

Configure VXLAN on the physical uplink interfaces

Configure a BGP session with the EVPN address family and enable the address-family l2vpn evpn

Configure a static route to the remote VTEPs

Enable OSPF on the NVE interface

An engineer is troubleshooting a VXLAN EVPN issue where a host can ping its default gateway but cannot reach hosts in a different VNI. The engineer checks 'show bgp l2vpn evpn' and sees the routes are present. What should the engineer check next?

Check if the underlay routing protocol is running on the loopback interfaces

Check if the NVE interface is administratively up

Check if the VLAN is created on the local switch

Verify that the Layer 3 VNI is associated with the correct VRF on all VTEPs
