350-601 Storage Network Practice Question
Sequence the steps to configure a VXLAN with BGP EVPN on a Cisco Nexus switch.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
1. Enable overlay features (feature nv overlay, feature vni, feature bgp). 2. Configure VTEP loopback and NVE source interface. 3. Configure VLAN and VNI mapping (vn-segment). 4. Configure BGP EVPN address-family and neighbors.
VXLAN EVPN requires overlay feature, VNI mapping, VTEP loopback, BGP peering, and verification.

Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

1. Enable overlay features (feature nv overlay, feature vni, feature bgp). 2. Configure VTEP loopback and NVE source interface. 3. Configure VLAN and VNI mapping (vn-segment). 4. Configure BGP EVPN address-family and neighbors.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because VXLAN EVPN requires overlay features enabled first, then the VTEP source interface must be defined to originate VXLAN traffic, followed by VLAN-to-VNI mapping to bridge Layer 2 domains, and finally BGP EVPN to exchange MAC/VTEP information.
- ✗
1. Configure VTEP loopback and NVE source interface. 2. Enable overlay features. 3. Configure VLAN and VNI mapping. 4. Configure BGP EVPN address-family and neighbors.
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because the VTEP loopback and NVE interface cannot be configured until overlay features (nv overlay, vni) are enabled. Attempting to configure them first will result in command rejection or incomplete configuration.
- ✗
1. Enable overlay features. 2. Configure VLAN and VNI mapping. 3. Configure VTEP loopback and NVE source interface. 4. Configure BGP EVPN address-family and neighbors.
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because while overlay features must be enabled first, the VTEP source interface must be configured before VNI mapping. The VNI mapping associates a VLAN with a VXLAN segment, but the NVE interface needs a source IP (loopback) to encapsulate traffic. Without the VTEP, VXLAN encapsulation cannot happen.
- ✗
1. Enable overlay features. 2. Configure VTEP loopback and NVE source interface. 3. Configure BGP EVPN address-family and neighbors. 4. Configure VLAN and VNI mapping.
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because BGP EVPN configuration requires the VNIs to exist. Without VNI mapping, BGP has no routes to advertise. The VNI mapping must be completed before BGP can learn and distribute EVPN routes.
