Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
show bridge mac-table
Why it's wrong here
This displays the data-plane bridging table for local MAC learning, not control-plane BGP advertisements.
- ✗
show bgp summary
Why it's wrong here
This only shows BGP session states and prefix counts, not specific EVPN route advertisements.
- ✓
show route advertising-protocol bgp <neighbor-ip>
Why this is correct
This command displays the exact routes advertised to a specific BGP neighbor, confirming route generation and export.
- ✗
show evpn database
Why it's wrong here
This shows the local EVPN MAC and IP learning table, not what is being exported over BGP.
