Hi there,
EVPN and VXLAN provide two different functions to a fabric overlay. In simple terms:
EVPN is the Control Plane - It is responsible for the propagation of IP/Mac mappings and locations.
VXLAN is the Data Plane - Traffic is encapsulated in VXLAN and sent between VTEPs based on the information learned via EVPN.
You can find more details here: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/pf/configuration/guide/b-pf-configuration/Introducing-Cisco-Programmable-Fabric-VXLAN-EVPN.html
I hope that helps!
