In a network overlay, VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) tunnels extend Layer 2 networks over a Layer 3 underlay, commonly implemented in Huawei’s data center solutions. The endpoints of a VXLAN tunnel are VXLAN Tunnel Endpoints (VTEPs), which encapsulate and decapsulate traffic.

VTEP Roles:VTEPs can be physical switches (e.g., Huawei CloudEngine series), virtual switches (e.g., Open vSwitch on a hypervisor), or routers with VXLAN support. The endpoints are defined by their IP addresses, not their physical nature.

Deployment Flexibility:In modern data centers, VXLAN tunnels often connect physical switches to virtualized environments where VTEPs reside on hypervisors or servers hosting VMs. For example, a VM’s vNIC might connect to a virtual switch (VTEP) that tunnels to a physical switch VTEP. Thus, both endpoints are not always physical switches; one or both can be virtual.

The statement isFALSE (B)because both endpoints of a VXLAN tunnel are not necessarily physical switches; they can include virtual VTEPs in hypervisors or other devices.References:Huawei HCIP-Data Center Network Training – VXLAN Overlay; CloudFabric VXLAN Deployment Guide.

Microsegmentation in Huawei’s data center networks (e.g., CloudFabric with SDN) divides Endpoint Groups (EPGs) to enforce fine-grained security policies. EPGs group endpoints (e.g., VMs) based on attributes. Let’s evaluate each option:

A. Operating system:This is true. The OS type (e.g., Linux, Windows) can be used to segment EPGs, enabling policy enforcement based on OS-specific security needs.TRUE.

B. VM name:This is true. VM names can be used as identifiers for microsegmentation, allowing policies to target specific VMs.TRUE.

C. IP address:This is true. IP addresses are commonly used to define EPG boundaries, especially for network-based segmentation.TRUE.

D. MAC address:This is true. MAC addresses can segment EPGs, particularly for Layer 2-based policies or device-specific isolation.TRUE.

All optionsA, B, C, and Dare valid conditions for microsegmentation to divide EPGs in Huawei’s implementation.References:Huawei CloudFabric Data Center Network Solution – Microsegmentation; HCIP-Data Center Network Training – EPG Configuration.

EVPN (Ethernet VPN) is a control plane technology used with VXLAN to provide Layer 2 and Layer 3 services in data center networks, including Huawei’s implementations. EVPN routes are categorized into types, with Type 5 routes (IP Prefix routes) serving a specific purpose:

Type 5 Routes:These routes advertise IP prefixes and are used for inter-subnet routing, allowing communication between different VXLAN Virtual Network Identifiers (VNIs) or between VXLAN networks and external networks. They carry a Layer 3 VNI and IP prefix information, enabling routers or gateways to perform Layer 3 forwarding.

Usage Scope:Type 5 routes are not limited to hosts on a VXLAN network accessing external networks. They are also used by network devices (e.g., gateways, routers) within the EVPN domain to facilitate routing between subnets, including intra-VXLANcommunication. For example, a centralized gateway or distributed gateway can use Type 5 routes to route traffic within the data center or to external networks, not just host-initiated access.

The statement isFALSE (B)because Type 5 routes are not exclusively for hosts on a VXLAN network to access external networks; they support broader Layer 3 routing functions across the EVPN domain.References:Huawei HCIP-Data Center Network Training – EVPN Routing; CloudFabric EVPN Configuration Guide.
