Exam 350-401 topic 1 question 778 discussion

It's B. From multiple sources (AI pull): The destination MAC address on the outer MAC header of a VXLAN packet identifies the MAC address of the next hop along the path to the destination VTEP (VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint). This is the MAC address of the next router or switch in the network that will forward the packet towards its final destination. HTH

i think B is correct

i think B is correct

What about C? I mean, it is the next hop for the overlay, but not including the underlay. But C would identify the remote switch in both overlay and underlay. I am unsure though.

It's the next hop (voting to erase the mistake)

B seems correct

Outer MAC Header: The outer MAC header includes the source and destination MAC addresses of the VTEPs (tunnel endpoints) involved in the VXLAN communication. The destination MAC address in the outer MAC header points to the VTEP that should receive the VXLAN packet.

Question ask for outer MAC header. The outer MAC header is the Ethernet header added to encapsulated packets for transport across the underlay network. It guides the packet within the physical network. The inner MAC header is from the original packet and guides the packet's delivery within the overlay network. destination MAC address in the outer MAC header could indeed represent the next hop device, which is the device responsible for forwarding the packet to its final destination. This is commonly seen in standard Ethernet forwarding. destination MAC address in the inner MAC header should be the leaf switch.

Seems to be OK
