Correct answer: Encapsulate and decapsulate VXLAN tunnels..
Why this is the answer
A VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) is a device that maps end-system MAC addresses to VXLAN Network Identifiers (VNIs) and performs VXLAN encapsulation and decapsulation. It acts as the entry and exit point for VXLAN tunnels, encapsulating Ethernet frames into UDP packets for transport across the underlay network and decapsulating them upon arrival at the destination VTEP. Maintaining VLAN configuration consistency is a general network management task, not a specific VTEP function. Forwarding packets to non-LISP sites is related to LISP (Locator/ID Separation Protocol), a different technology. Providing EID-to-RLOC mapping is a core function of LISP, not VXLAN.
