Refer to the exhibit. ISP_A is about to launch a new internet service. ISP_A is already providing MPLS VPN Layer 3 services to Customer_A and Customer_B, which are connected to ISP_A via OSPF. A network engineer completed the BGP and VRF configurations on R2 to support the new internet service. Which additional action completes the launch?

  1. Import route-target 62:101 into the customer VRFs on R1 and R3
  2. Implement the BGP routing protocol in the customer VRFs on R1 and R2
  3. Enable the route-replicate command under the customer VRFs on R1 and R2
  4. Activate NAT CE in the customer VRFs on R1, R2, and R3

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

In MPLS Layer 3 VPN, route targets are used to control the exchange of routes between VRFs. Based on the exhibit:
1. R2 already has the VRF Services configured with RD 62:101.
2. To complete the setup and enable the proper routing for Customer_A and Customer_B, the same route- target 62:101 needs to be imported into the respective VRFs on R1 and R3.
This ensures that the routes in the Services VRF are shared across all devices in the VPN, allowing communication between Customer_A, Customer_B, and the internet service.

What is a characteristic of the Pipe model for MPLS QoS?

  1. The MPLS EXP bits are set by the CE
  2. The same QoS policy is applied to all customer traffic on the egress PE
  3. If the outer EXP is changed it is copied to the DSCP value
  4. The DSCP value determines how the packet is forwarded

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The Pipe model for MPLS QoS separates the QoS marking and handling between the MPLS core and the customer's network:
Pipe model characteristic:
The customer's QoS markings (DSCP) are preserved from ingress to egress, and the MPLS core uses its

EXP bits for QoS decisions.
The egress PE applies a uniform QoS policy to the traffic without modifying the customer's original DSCP

markings.
This ensures that the customer's QoS requirements are maintained transparently while allowing the service provider to enforce its QoS policies within the MPLS core.

How can shared services in an MPLS Layer 3 VPN provide Internet access to the Customers of a central service provider?

  1. Static routes on CE routers allow route leakage from a PE global routing table.
  2. The CE router can establish a BGP peering to a PE router and use the PE device to reach the Internet.
  3. The customer VRF uses route targets to import and export routes to and from a shared services VRF.
  4. Route distinguishers are used to identify the routes that CEs can use to reach the Internet.

Answer(s): C

Refer to the exhibit. All edge routers are fully meshed via the iBGP and IS-IS routing protocols, and LDP is used for label distribution The network engineer must protect the TE tunnels and MPLS network from interface flaps and retain label information in the LIB cache for 10 minutes. Which action completes the implementation?

  1. Enable signaling synchronization for MPLS traffic engineering with the timeout set to 600 seconds.
  2. Implement LDP session protection with a duration of 600 seconds.
  3. Enable the MPLS TTL signaling expiration timer with the timeout set to 10 minutes.
  4. Implement MPLS label protection with a duration of 10 minutes.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

LDP session protection helps prevent session teardown during interface flaps by maintaining the session for a specified hold time (in this case, 600 seconds or 10 minutes). This retains label bindings in the LIB and avoids reconvergence.

Which capability does RSVP provide in an MPLS network?

  1. signaling a primary path for LSP tunnels
  2. reserving up to 75% of interface bandwidth by default
  3. reserving bandwidth for multicast flows
  4. supporting interoperability between IntServ and DiffServ architecture models

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

RSVP-TE is used in an MPLS network to signal and establish (primary) label-switched paths by exchanging PATH and RESV messages to set up the tunnel across the network.

What is a key capability of EVPN?

  1. providing built-in support for native integration with third-party cloud platforms
  2. supporting multitenancy for Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN services
  3. establishing IPv6 overlay networks over IPv4 networks
  4. enabling real-time voice and video traffic optimization

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

EVPN's BGP-based control plane natively supports multitenant VPN services at both Layer2 and Layer3, using route-distinguishers and route-targets to keep tenant traffic fully isolated.
Deploying an MPLS L3VPN between the sites (perRFC4364) leverages VRFs with RDs/RTs to segregate and enforce per-department policies, scales out to many locations, and retains BGP control-plane separation for privacy and granular access control.

Refer to the exhibit. A growing company with an increasing international presence requires a secure and scalable solution for inter-office data transfer across their geographically dispersed locations. To ensure departmental privacy, the network must enforce granular access control. BGP is running in the network, and two VRF instances with unique route distinguishers and route targets have been configured to segregate critical financial data from regular network traffic. A network engineer with an employee ID: 5086:72:817 must find a solution that allows for future network expansion while maintaining robust security and data privacy between departments. The solution must comply with the RFC 4364 standard. Which action must the engineer take to meet the requirements?

  1. Configure a GRE tunnel in AH mode between the two routers.
  2. Configure MPLS in L3VPN mode between the two routers.
  3. Configure a DMVPN connection between the two routers with Phase 2 mode enabled.
  4. Configure an IPsec VPN connection between the two routers with ESP protocol enabled.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Deploying an MPLS L3VPN between the sites (perRFC4364) leverages VRFs with RDs/RTs to segregate and enforce per-department policies, scales out to many locations, and retains BGP control-plane separation for privacy and granular access control.

After recent network outages and customer complaints, a large Tier 1 service provider has asked a network engineer to implement MPLS OAM policy on all Provider Edge devices in the MPLS network. To improve network performance and reliability, the policy must be able to detect 2% packet drops and a delay of 0.05 seconds. The solution must be based on RFC 6374 3nd RFC 4379 standards for MPLS OAM. The CCM to detect connectivity issues has already been configured with interval 1000. Which two actions must the engineer take to achieve the goal? (Choose two.)

  1. Set loopback delay-frequency 50 and drop-threshold 0.2 on the PE routers.
  2. Implement mpls ldp tracing on the PE and P routers.
  3. Implement mpls oam policy oam on the PE routers.
  4. Implement mpls ip oam map-policy on the PE routers.
  5. Set loss-threshold 2 and delay-threshold 50 on the P routers.

Answer(s): C,D

Explanation:

On each PE you must define an MPLS OAM policy (perRFC6374/4379) using the mpls oam policy <name> stanza, specifying the loss-threshold and delay-threshold.
You then attach that policy to the MPLS data plane with mpls ip oam map-policy <name> under the relevant interfaces so the OAM packets are actually sent and monitored.
