Multi-Pod Deployment

A.

Multi-Pod deployment is a design pattern that is used in data centers to interconnect multiple pods. A pod is a group of switches that are interconnected to form a single logical unit. Multi-Pod deployment is used to provide scalability and flexibility to data center networks. Each pod can have its own set of resources, such as compute and storage, and can be managed independently.

Now let's analyze the given statements and find the correct one:

A. Each Pod is assigned a separate and not overlapping TEP pool. This statement is true. In Multi-Pod deployment, each pod is assigned a separate and non-overlapping TEP (Tunnel Endpoint) pool. TEPs are used to encapsulate the overlay traffic and send it between the pods. Each pod has its own set of TEP addresses, which are used to encapsulate the overlay traffic for that pod.

B. TEP pools are used for layer 2 communication between the pods. This statement is not entirely true. TEP pools are used for overlay communication between the pods, which can include layer 2 and layer 3 traffic. Overlay communication is separate from the underlay communication between the switches. The underlay network is responsible for the transport of overlay packets between the pods.

C. TEP pool are not redistributed to the leaf nodes as they are only limited to spines. This statement is false. TEP addresses are distributed to all the switches in the fabric, including the leaf nodes. Leaf nodes use the TEP addresses to encapsulate the overlay traffic and send it to the spine nodes.

D. Each Pod selects its own TEP pool as its locally significant. This statement is true. Each pod selects its own TEP pool, and the TEP addresses are locally significant to that pod. TEP addresses are used to encapsulate the overlay traffic, and each pod has its own set of TEP addresses that are used for that purpose.

In summary, the correct statement regarding Multi-Pod deployment is A. Each Pod is assigned a separate and not overlapping TEP pool.
