EVPN is a technology that connects L2 network segments separated by an L3 network using a virtual Layer 2 network overlay over the Layer 3 network. EVPN uses BGP as its control protocol to exchange different types of routes for different purposes. Type 2 routes are used to advertise MAC address and IP address pairs learned using ARP snooping from the local CE devices. Type 3 routes are used to join a multicast tree to flood traffic such as broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast (BUM) traffic.

In an L2VPN scenario, the provider network connects two customer edge (CE) devices across a Layer 2 virtual private network. Let's analyze how OSPF operates in this setup.

1. **OSPF Neighborship in L2VPN**:

- An L2VPN provides a Layer 2 connection between two sites, making it transparent to Layer 3 protocols like OSPF. This means the CEs can form OSPF adjacencies directly with each other as if they were on the same local network.

2. **OSPF Configuration on CEs and PEs**:

- **Statement A: OSPF neighborship is formed between the CEs and PEs**:

- Incorrect. In an L2VPN, the provider's network is transparent to the OSPF running on the CEs. OSPF neighborship forms directly between the CEs, not between the CEs and PEs.

- **Statement B: The CE and PE OSPF areas can be different**:

- Correct. Since OSPF adjacencies form directly between the CEs and not between CEs and PEs, the OSPF areas on the CEs and PEs can be different. The provider network acts as a transparent bridge, and OSPF doesn't see the PEs.

- **Statement C: The CE and PE OSPF areas must match**:

- Incorrect. As noted above, because the OSPF neighborship forms directly between the CEs, the OSPF areas on the CEs and PEs do not need to match.

- **Statement D: OSPF neighborship is formed between the two CEs**:

- Correct. The L2VPN makes the connection between the two CEs appear as a direct Layer 2 link, allowing them to form an OSPF adjacency directly.

**Conclusion**:

Given the above analysis, the correct statements are:

**B. The CE and PE OSPF areas can be different.**

**D. OSPF neighborship is formed between the two CEs.**

According to 1 and 2, BGP Layer 2 VPNs use BGP to distribute endpoint provisioning information and set up pseudowires between PE devices. BGP uses the Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) Routing Information Base (RIB) to store endpoint provisioning information, which is updated each time any Layer 2 virtual forwarding instance (VFI) is configured. The prefix and path information is stored in the L2VPN database, which allows BGP to make decisions about the best path.

In the output shown in the exhibit, we can see some information about the L2VPN RIB and the pseudowire state. Based on this information, we can infer the following statements:

The PE is attached to a single local site. This is correct because the output shows only one local site ID (1) under the L2VPN RIB section. A local site ID is a unique identifier for a site within a VPLS domain. If there were multiple local sites attached to the PE, we would see multiple local site IDs with different prefixes.

The connection has not flapped since it was initiated. This is correct because the output shows that the uptime of the pseudowire is equal to its total uptime (1w6d). This means that the pseudowire has been up for one week and six days without any interruption or flap.

There has been a VLAN ID mismatch. This is not correct because the output shows that the remote and local VLAN IDs are both 0 under the pseudowire state section. A VLAN ID mismatch occurs when the remote and local VLAN IDs are different, which can cause traffic loss or misdelivery. If there was a VLAN ID mismatch, we would see different values for the remote and local VLAN IDs.

The PE router has the capability to pop flow labels. This is correct because the output shows that the flow label pop bit is set under the pseudowire state section. The flow label pop bit indicates that the PE router can pop (remove) the MPLS flow label from the packet before forwarding it to the CE device. The flow label is an optional MPLS label that can be used for load balancing or traffic engineering purposes.
