JNCIP-ENT EVPN Practice Question
Which TWO statements describe characteristics of EVPN All-Active Multi-Homing compared to Single-Active Multi-Homing? (Choose two)
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
✓
All-active multi-homing allows multiple PEs attached to the same Ethernet segment to forward traffic simultaneously.
All-active multi-homing allows multiple PEs connected to the same Ethernet segment to actively forward traffic simultaneously and load-balance unicast traffic using aliasing, unlike single-active where only the DF forwards traffic.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
All-active multi-homing restricts host MAC learning to only one PE at a time.
Why it's wrong here
Hosts behind all-active multi-homed segments can be learned across multiple PEs, handled via aliasing and split horizon.
- ✗
In all-active mode, only the Designated Forwarder handles unicast traffic from the core.
Why it's wrong here
The DF handles BUM traffic; unicast traffic is load-balanced across all active PEs via aliasing.
- ✗
All-active multi-homing requires Spanning Tree Protocol to block redundant links.
Why it's wrong here
Active-active multi-homing uses EVPN mechanisms rather than STP to utilize all links.
- ✓
All-active multi-homing allows multiple PEs attached to the same Ethernet segment to forward traffic simultaneously.
Why this is correct
In all-active mode, all attached PEs actively forward traffic for the multi-homed segment.
- ✓
All-active multi-homing utilizes EVPN Route Type 1 per-EVI routes to enable load-balancing (aliasing) across PEs.
Why this is correct
Aliasing via Type 1 routes allows traffic load balancing across all PEs attached to the ESI.
