建築家は、地域医療センター向けに、地域に分散したデータセンターと新しいコロケーション施設との相互接続を提供するネットワークソリューションを設計する必要がある。設計には以下の要件が求められる。
* ポイントツーポイント接続を利用する
* 既存のVLANインフラストラクチャを活用する
* データセンターの同期およびバックアッププロセスのパフォーマンスを向上させる
* 設定の複雑さを軽減する
エンジニアはどちらの解決策を選択すべきか?
正解:D
L2VPN is the correct solution because the customer requires point-to-point connectivity while preserving existing VLAN infrastructure. Cisco describes Layer 2 VPN services as emulating Layer 2 connectivity across a provider IP or MPLS backbone, commonly through Ethernet pseudowires or VPWS. This allows sites such as dispersed data centers and a colocation facility to exchange Ethernet frames as if they were directly connected at Layer 2. The design is especially useful when data center synchronization, backup workflows, or application dependencies require VLAN continuity or minimal changes to existing addressing and routing. L3VPN would provide routed connectivity and VRF separation, but it would not preserve the VLAN-based service model. GRE would add an overlay tunnel but would not natively provide provider- managed Layer 2 service. DMVPN is designed for scalable Layer 3 IPsec/GRE overlays between branches, not for VLAN extension or point-to-point data center interconnect.
