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
✓
It can carry both a MAC address and an IP address in a single control-plane update.
Type 2 routes advertise MAC addresses and optionally host IP addresses. They play a critical role in both Layer 2 bridging and Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) host reachability.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
It is exclusively used to elect the Designated Forwarder for multicast traffic.
Why it's wrong here
Designated Forwarder election is the role of Route Type 4.
- ✗
It is only generated when BUM traffic flooding occurs.
Why it's wrong here
Type 2 routes are generated upon local MAC learning or ARP resolution, not during BUM flooding.
- ✗
It replaces BGP L3VPN route targets for core routing.
Why it's wrong here
Type 2 routes do not replace L3VPN route targets; they operate within EVPN instances.
- ✓
It can carry both a MAC address and an IP address in a single control-plane update.
Why this is correct
Type 2 routes support advertising MAC and IP bindings together to optimize ARP suppression and host routing.
- ✓
It is used by PE routers to advertise MAC addresses learned from local attachment circuits to remote PEs.
Why this is correct
When a PE learns a local MAC address, it advertises it via a Type-2 route to all remote BGP EVPN peers.
