An administrator is configuring VXLAN on a Dell SONiC switch. They have created a VXLAN interface and assigned a VNI. What additional configuration is required to enable the VXLAN interface to forward traffic?

Map the VXLAN interface to a VLAN and ensure the underlay IP connectivity is in place.

Enable STP on the VXLAN interface.

Assign an IP address to the VXLAN interface.

Configure a loopback interface with the same IP as the VXLAN interface.

A network engineer is designing a multi-tenant VXLAN environment. They need to ensure that traffic from Tenant A cannot reach Tenant B. What is the primary mechanism to achieve this isolation?

Use different VTEP IP addresses for each tenant.

Assign different VNIs to each tenant.

Configure different multicast groups for each tenant.

Use different UDP source ports for each tenant.

What is the purpose of the VNI in VXLAN?

To route traffic between different VNIs

To identify the VTEP's IP address

To segment the network into isolated Layer 2 domains

What happens to broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast (BUM) traffic in a VXLAN network without a control plane?

It is sent only to the destination VTEP

It is converted to unicast and sent to the gateway

It is flooded to all VTEPs in the VXLAN segment
