B
B. 2
Explanation:
You need one L2VPN routing instance for each site that Site 1 needs to connect to.
Since Site 1 needs to access VLANs in both Site 2 and Site 3, you will need two L2VPN routing instances
Answer A states that only 1 L2VPN routing instance is required. However, this is not sufficient for the following reasons:
Multiple Sites: Site 1 needs to access VLANs located in both Site 2 and Site 3. Each site requires a separate L2VPN routing instance to establish the necessary connections.
VLAN Encapsulation: The customer-facing interface on the PE1 router is configured for Ethernet VLAN encapsulation, which means each VLAN needs to be mapped to a specific L2VPN instance.
Therefore, to ensure that Site 1 can access VLANs in both Site 2 and Site 3, you need at least 2 L2VPN routing instances, one for each site.
Answer C states that 3 L2VPN routing instances are required.
Since Site 1 only needs to connect to two sites (Site 2 and Site 3), only 2 L2VPN routing instances are required. Therefore, Answer C is not correct because it suggests more instances than needed.
