In this scenario, which statement is true?
In an EBGP IP fabric, it is typical for each spine to peer with each leaf. This peering usually occurs using physical addresses, ensuring that each leaf has a direct and straightforward EBGP session with every spine. Peering between leaf and spine using physical interfaces aligns with common deployment practices for underlay networks in data center environments.
Since is EBGP and it used for underlay, spine are peering with leafs using physical address.
How do you know it is the underlay the question is referring to?
If BGP is used as a main protocol in DC, EBGP is used for underlay peering and IBGP for overlay.
Not necessarilly, Apstra uses EBGP for underlay and overlay by default, for example
Answer is B. - Every leaf has one peering session to every spine node (no leaf to leaf and no spine to spine peering) - physical interface peering (no need for IGP)
My question is... What is a "physical address", this term is commonly used for "mac-addresses" from a networking perspective...
B of course!
