In this scenario, you want the border leaf device to advertise Type 5 EVPN routes to another border

leaf in a different data center. Type 5 routes in EVPN are used to advertise IP prefixes, which means

that for proper route advertisement, you need to configure the correct settings within the evpn

hierarchy.

Step-by-Step Analysis:

Understanding EVPN Type 5 Routes:

EVPN Type 5 routes are used to advertise IP prefixes across EVPN instances, which allow different

data centers or networks to exchange routing information effectively.

VRF Target Setting:

The vrf-target configuration is crucial because it defines the export and import policies for the VRF

within the EVPN instance. For EVPN Type 5 routes to be advertised to other border leaf devices, the

vrf-target needs to be correctly configured under the evpn hierarchy, not just within the routing

instance.

Command to solve this:

move vrf-target target:65000:1 to evpn

Other Options:

Option B: Adding a VLAN configuration would not address the requirement to advertise Type 5

routes.

Option C: Adding VXLAN encapsulation may be necessary for other scenarios but does not directly

address the Type 5 route advertisement.

Option D: Changing the route-distinguisher will differentiate routes but does not impact the

advertisement of Type 5 routes to other data centers.

By moving the vrf-target to the evpn hierarchy, you enable the proper route advertisement, ensuring

that the Type 5 routes for local networks are shared with other data center border leaf devices. This

is aligned with best practices for multi-data center EVPN implementations, which emphasize the

correct placement of routing policies within the EVPN configuration.
