* Understanding EVPN Route Types:
* EVPN (Ethernet VPN) is used for providing Ethernet multipoint services over MPLS or VXLAN networks.
* EVPN Route Types:
* Type 1 (Ethernet Auto-Discovery Route): Used for auto-discovery of PEs and for detecting multi-homed devices.
* Type 2 (MAC/IP Advertisement Route):
* Carries endpoint MAC address information.
* Carries endpoint IP address information.
* Facilitates MAC learning and IP-to-MAC binding distribution.
* Type 3 (Inclusive Multicast Route):
* Carries replication information.
* Used for forwarding multicast and broadcast traffic.
* Type 5 (IP Prefix Route): Carries IP prefixes for inter-subnet connectivity, but not replication information.
* Verification:
* Type 2 routes are crucial for distributing MAC and IP information about endpoints.
* Type 3 routes are used to manage multicast traffic effectively.
