A device, comprising: one or more processors configured to: receive, via a first message, first route information for directing network traffic for a network, the first route information identifying a media access control, MAC, route corresponding to a MAC address associated with a host device connecting to a subnet of the network, the first route information failing to include Internet protocol, IP / MAC, binding information associated with the host device; transmit a request for IP/MAC binding information associated with the host device; receive a response, to the request for IP/MAC binding information, identifying the IP/MAC binding information; and advertise, via a second message, second route information for directing network traffic for the network based on receiving the response identifying the IP/MAC binding information, the second route information identifying the IP/MAC binding information associated with the host device; where the one or more processors, when receiving the first message, are configured to: receive the first message from a switch device; determine based on configuration information identifying the switch device that the switch device is configured as a layer 2, L2, only Ethernet virtual private network, EVPN, device; and where the one or more processors, when advertising the second route information, are configured to: advertise the second route information based on determining that the switch device is configured as a layer 2 only EVPN device. receive, via a first message, first route information for directing network traffic for a network, the first route information identifying a media access control, MAC, route corresponding to a MAC address associated with a host device connecting to a subnet of the network, the first route information failing to include Internet protocol, IP / MAC, binding information associated with the host device; transmit a request for IP/MAC binding information associated with the host device; receive a response, to the request for IP/MAC binding information, identifying the IP/MAC binding information; and advertise, via a second message, second route information for directing network traffic for the network based on receiving the response identifying the IP/MAC binding information, the second route information identifying the IP/MAC binding information associated with the host device; where the one or more processors, when receiving the first message, are configured to: receive the first message from a switch device; determine based on configuration information identifying the switch device that the switch device is configured as a layer 2, L2, only Ethernet virtual private network, EVPN, device; and where the one or more processors, when advertising the second route information, are configured to: advertise the second route information based on determining that the switch device is configured as a layer 2 only EVPN device. receive the first message from a switch device; determine based on configuration information identifying the switch device that the switch device is configured as a layer 2, L2, only Ethernet virtual private network, EVPN, device; and where the one or more processors, when advertising the second route information, are configured to: advertise the second route information based on determining that the switch device is configured as a layer 2 only EVPN device.
