View Answer

Answer: C

Explanation:

VXLAN uses an 8-byte VXLAN header

that consists of a 24-bit VNID and a few reserved bits. The VXLAN header

together with the original Ethernet frame goes in the UDP payload. The 24-bit

VNID is used to identify Layer 2 segments and to maintain Layer 2 isolation

between the segments.
