NEW QUESTION # 13
In OSPFv2, which route characteristic is used to determine the best path?
- A. packet loss
- B. cost
- C. delay
- D. jitter
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
In OSPFv2, the route characteristic that is used to determine the best path is the cost. The cost is a metric that represents the link bandwidth, delay, reliability, or other factors. The cost is inversely proportional to the bandwidth, meaning that a higher bandwidth link has a lower cost. The cost of a route is calculated by adding the costs of all links along the path. OSPFv2 uses the following formula to calculate the cost of an interface:
Cost = Reference bandwidth / Interface bandwidth in bps
The reference bandwidth is a constant value that can be configured by the network administrator. By default, it is 100 Mbps. The interface bandwidth is the actual bandwidth of the interface in bits per second. For example, if an interface has a bandwidth of 10 Mbps, its cost would be 100 Mbps / 10 Mbps = 101415.
OSPFv2 does not use jitter, packet loss, or delay as route characteristics to determine the best path. Jitter is the variation in latency or delay between packets. Packet loss is the percentage of packets that are dropped or corrupted during transmission. Delay is the time it takes for a packet to travel from source to destination. These characteristics are not part of the OSPFv2 protocol and are not advertised in OSPFv2 LSAs1617.

NEW QUESTION # 14
A network operator wants to make sure voice data is prioritized.
In this scenario, to which Ethernet traffic class should it be assigned.
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. 3
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
A network operator who wants to make sure voice data is prioritized should assign it to Ethernet traffic class 6.
Ethernet traffic class is a term used to refer to the priority code point (PCP) field in the VLAN header of an Ethernet frame. The PCP field is a 3-bit field that can encode up to eight different priority levels, ranging from
0 (lowest) to 7 (highest). The PCP values can be mapped to different types of traffic according to their QoS requirements. The recommended mapping is as follows :
PCP 0: Best effort (default)
PCP 1: Background
PCP 2: Spare
PCP 3: Excellent effort
PCP 4: Controlled load
PCP 5: Video
PCP 6: Voice
PCP 7: Network control
Voice data is a type of real-time traffic that requires the highest priority and lowest delay in the network.
Therefore, it should be assigned to PCP 6, which corresponds to Ethernet traffic class 6 .

NEW QUESTION # 16
Which two statements are true about router node hardening? (Choose two.)
- A. IPsec should be implemented to secure IGP routing protocols.
- B. LDAP, using the TLS protocol, should be implemented for remote logging.
- C. Any unnecessary services should be disabled within each context.
- D. Enabling syslog ensures system events are logged to a remote server.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
Explanation
Two statements that are true about router node hardening are:
Any unnecessary services should be disabled within each context. Router node hardening is a process of securing a router from unauthorized access and attacks by applying various configurations and policies.
One of these configurations is to disable any services that are not needed for the router's functionality or purpose, such as telnet, ftp, http, etc. This reduces the attack surface of the router and prevents potential exploits of these services91.
Enabling syslog ensures system events are logged to a remote server. Syslog is a protocol that allows a router to send system messages and events to a remote server for logging and analysis. By enabling syslog on a router, network administrators can monitor the router's activity and performance, troubleshoot problems, detect anomalies, and audit security events101.

NEW QUESTION # 17
Which statement is true about LDP?
- A. LDP and IGP both exchange their databases every 30 seconds.
- B. LDP performs routing functions along with IGP.
- C. LDP relies on IGP for all routing-related decisions.
- D. LDP and IGP both exchange their databases every 60 seconds.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
LDP relies on IGP for all routing-related decisions. LDP is a protocol that distributes labels in an MPLS environment, but it does not perform any routing functions. LDP uses the underlying routing information provided by an IGP, such as OSPF or IS-IS, to forward label packets. LDP and IGP do not exchange their databases at regular intervals, but rather use hello messages to maintain adjacencies and sessions.

NEW QUESTION # 18
Review the exhibit.
A service provider wants to connect the sites for two customers (indicated in red and green in the exhibit). The two customers are using the same IP ranges 192.168.0.0/16.
Referring to the exhibit, what should the service provider do to accomplish this task?
- A. Use a unique AS number for each customer.
- B. Use a separate OSPF instance for each customer.
- C. Connect each customer to dedicated PEs.
- D. Implement L3VPN using the MP-BGP protocol.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
Referring to the exhibit, the service provider should implement L3VPN using the MP-BGP protocol to connect the sites for two customers (indicated in red and green in theexhibit). L3VPN is a type of VPN that uses MPLS to provide IP connectivity between customer sites across a service provider network. L3VPN allows customers to use overlapping or identical IP addresses without causing conflicts or requiring NAT. L3VPN uses MP-BGP to exchange VPN routes between PE routers, which are routers that connect customer networks to the service provider network. MP-BGP is an extension of BGP that can carry multiple address families, such as VPNv4 or VPNv6, along with additional attributes, such as route distinguisher (RD) and route target (RT). RD is used to make customer routes unique within the service provider network, while RT is used to control which routes are imported or exported between different VPNs3 .

NEW QUESTION # 19
Which network is reserved as a private network according to RFC1918?
- A. 193.168.1.0/24
- B. 10.254.1.0/24
- C. 172.16.1.0/9
- D. 172.15.1.0/24
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
According to RFC1918, there are three network blocks reserved as private networks that are not allocated to any specific organization and are not routable on the public Internet. These are:
10.0.0.0/8 (10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255)
172.16.0.0/12 (172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255)
192.168.0.0/16 (192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255)
Out of these, only option B (10.254.1.0/24) falls within one of the private network blocks (10.0.0.0/8). Option A (172.16.1.0/9) is not valid because it exceeds the /12 prefix length of the private network block (172.16.0.0/12). Option C (193.168.1.0/24) is not valid because it does not belong to any of the private network blocks, and is actually assigned to RIPE NCC as a public network block . Option D (172.15.1.0/24) is also not valid because it does not belong to any of the private network blocks, and is actually assigned to ARIN as a public network block .

NEW QUESTION # 20
Review the exhibit.
A service provider wants to provide L3VPN for two customers (indicated by red and green in the exhibit).
Referring to the exhibit, which statement is correct?
- A. LDP must be configured between PE and CE
- B. The two customers cannot use overlapping IP prefixes.
- C. The service provider's P routers are not aware of the customers' routes.
- D. MP-BGP should be configured on all the service provider's routers (Ps and PEs).
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
Referring to the exhibit, the correct statement is that the service provider's P routers are not aware of the customers' routes. This is because P routers only need to forward MPLS packets based on their labels, without looking into their IP headers or VPN information. The P routers do not have any VRFs configured for the customers, nor do they participate in MP-BGP sessions with other PE routers. The PE routers are responsible for maintaining VRFs for each customer and for exchanging VPN routes with other PE routers using MP-BGP910.

NEW QUESTION # 21
In an Ethernet frame carrying a VLAN tag, where does the VLAN tag appear?
- A. before the length field
- B. before the type field
- C. after the type field
- D. after the length field
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
In an Ethernet frame carrying a VLAN tag, the VLAN tag appears before the type field. A VLAN tag is a
4-byte field that is inserted into an Ethernet frame to indicate the VLAN membership and priority of the frame.
The VLAN tag consists of two subfields: the tag protocol identifier (TPID) and the tag control information (TCI). The TPID subfield is a 16-bit field that identifies the frame as an IEEE 802.1Q-tagged frame, with a value of 0x8100. The TCI subfield is a 16-bit field that contains the priority code point (PCP), the drop eligible indicator (DEI), and the VLAN identifier (VID). The VLAN tag appears between the source MAC address and the type fields of the original frame, shifting the type field by four bytes. The type field indicates the type of the payload, such as IP or ARP .

NEW QUESTION # 22
What is the subnet address for 10.57.126.156/29?
- A. 10.57.126.156
- B. 10.57.126.0
- C. 10.57.126.152
- D. 10.57.126.144
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The subnet address for 10.57.126.156/29 is 10.57.126.152. To find the subnet address, we need to perform a bitwise AND operation between the IP address and the subnet mask. The subnet mask for /29 is
255.255.255.248, which in binary is 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111000. The IP address in binary is
00001010.00111001.01111110.10011100. The result of the AND operation is
00001010.00111001.01111110.10011000, which in decimal is10.57.126.152. References: Ericsson IP Networking - IP Addressing, Software Installation and Upgrade Overview (Junos OS)
NEW QUESTION # 23
In your network, video traffic is being marked with DSCP code AF31.
Based on industry standard practice, which code would you use to assign higher priority to VoIP traffic?
- A. EF
- B. AF21
- C. DF
- D. AF11
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
The code that is commonly used to assign higher priority to VoIP traffic is EF, which stands for Expedited Forwarding. EF is a per-hop behavior (PHB) defined by the Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model for QoS.
EF provides low delay, low jitter, and low loss for real-time applications such as VoIP. EF is marked by setting the DSCP value to 101110, which corresponds to decimal 4678. AF31, which stands for Assured Forwarding class 3 low drop probability, is another PHB defined by DiffServ, but it provides lower priority than EF. AF31 is marked by setting the DSCP value to 011010, which corresponds to decimal 2678. DF, which stands for Default Forwarding, is a PHB defined by DiffServ that provides best-effort service for unmarked traffic. DF is marked by setting the DSCP value to 000000, which corresponds to decimal 078.
AF11, which stands for Assured Forwarding class 1 low drop probability, is another PHB defined by DiffServ, but it provides lower priority than EF and AF31. AF11 is marked by setting the DSCP value to 001010, which corresponds to decimal 1078.

NEW QUESTION # 24
An operator wants to ensure that they can differentiate their traffic types for the purpose of prioritization in their Ethernet LAN and IP/MPLS backbone.
Which three fields would be used? (Choose three.)
- A. Traffic Class (TC)
- B. DSCP
- C. ECN
- D. PCP
- E. VID
Answer: A,B,D
Explanation:
Explanation
To differentiate traffic types for the purpose of prioritization in their Ethernet LAN and IP/MPLS backbone, an operator can use the following three fields:
Traffic Class (TC): This is a 3-bit field in the MPLS label that can be used to indicate the priority or class of service (CoS) of the packet. The TC field can be mapped to the DSCP field in the IP header or the PCP field in the Ethernet header. The TC field can be used by MPLS routers to apply different per-hop behaviors (PHBs) such as queuing, scheduling, and dropping policies to different traffic classes12.
DSCP: This is a 6-bit field in the IP header that can be used to mark packets according to the differentiated services (DiffServ) model. The DSCP field can indicate the per-hop behavior (PHB) that the packet should receive at each router along its path. The DSCP field can be mapped to the TC field in the MPLS label or the PCP field in the Ethernet header. The DSCP field can be used by IP routers to provide QoS for different traffic types34.
PCP: This is a 3-bit field in the Ethernet header that can be used to mark packets according to the IEEE
802.1Q standard. The PCP field can indicate the priority or class of service (CoS) of the packet on an Ethernet LAN. The PCP field can be mapped to the TC field in the MPLS label or the DSCP field in the IP header. The PCP field can be used by Ethernet switches to provide QoS for different traffic types56.

NEW QUESTION # 25
Which router function advertises external routes in OSPF?
- A. ABR
- B. ASBR
- C. designated router
- D. backbone router
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
The router function that advertises external routes in OSPF is ASBR, which stands for Autonomous System Boundary Router. An ASBR is a router that connects an OSPF domain to another routing domain, such as another OSPF domain or a different routing protocol domain. An ASBR can redistribute routes from other routing domains into OSPF as external routes, which are carried in type 5 or type 7 LSAs. External routes have two types: E1 and E2. E1 routes include the cost from the ASBR to the destination, while E2 routes only include the cost advertised by the ASBR34.

NEW QUESTION # 26
Which two features does IPsec provide? (Choose two.)
- A. controlling the path through the network
- B. protecting the length of packets from discovery
- C. protecting packets from modification
- D. hiding the content of packets from observation
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
Explanation
IPsec provides two main features: protecting packets from modification and hiding the content of packets from observation. IPsec protects packets from modification by using cryptographic algorithms to generate and verify message authentication codes (MACs) or digital signatures for each packet. These mechanisms ensure that the packets have not been tampered with or altered in transit by unauthorized parties. IPsec hides the content of packets from observation by using encryption algorithms to scramble the payload of each packet. This prevents eavesdroppers or interceptors from reading or analyzing the data carried by the packets12.

NEW QUESTION # 27
P routers forward packets based on the ______.
- A. flow label
- B. VPN label
- C. inner label
- D. LSP label
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
P routers forward packets based on the LSP label. The LSP label is the label that corresponds to the label-switched path (LSP) that is established between two PE routers in an MPLS network. The LSP label is also called the outer label or the transport label, because it is used to transport packets across the MPLS core network. P routers are also called LSRs (label switch routers) or transit routers, because they switch packets based on their labels or remove the labels. P routers do not need to look at the IP header or any other information in the packet, except for the top label in the label stack. P routers perform one of three possible operations on labels: swap, pop, or PHP (penultimate hop popping). In a swap operation, the label is swapped with a new label, and the packet is forwarded along the path associated with the new label. In a pop operation, the label is removed from the packet, and the packet is forwarded based on its IP header or another label in the stack. In a PHP operation, the label is removed from the packet at the last P router before reaching the egress PE router, and the packet is forwarded without any label to the egress PE router.
The LSP label is different from other types of labels that may be used in MPLS networks, such as VPN labels or service labels. These labels are used to identify different VPNs or services that run over MPLS networks, such as Layer 2 VPNs, Layer 3 VPNs, traffic engineering, or QoS. These labels are also called inner labels or payload labels, because they are related to the payload of the packet. These labels are not used by P routers for forwarding decisions, but only by PE routers for delivering packets to their destinations.
Therefore, the answer is C.

NEW QUESTION # 28
Which route type is restricted in an OSPF stub area?
- A. Type 1
- B. Type 3
- C. Type 5
- D. Type 2
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The route type that is restricted in an OSPF stub area is type 5. Type 5 LSAs are external LSAs that are generated by ASBRs to advertise routes from other routing domains or protocols into OSPF. Type 5 LSAs are flooded throughout the OSPF domain by default, except in stub areas. Stub areas are special OSPF areas that block type 5 LSAs from entering the area in order to reduce the size of the LSDB and the routing table. Stub areas only receive information about intra-area routes (type 1 and 2 LSAs), inter-area routes (type 3 LSAs), and a default route (type 3 LSA with destination 0.0.0.0/0) from the ABRs910.

NEW QUESTION # 29
What is the correct ordering (outer to inner) of packet headers in an IP/MPLS packet?
- A. MPLS, IP, Ethernet
- B. Ethernet, IP, MPLS
- C. IP, MPLS, Ethernet
- D. Ethernet, MPLS, IP
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The correct ordering (outer to inner) of packet headers in an IP/MPLS packet is Ethernet, MPLS, IP. An IP/MPLS packet is a packet that is encapsulated with an MPLS label stack between the Ethernet header and the IP header. The Ethernet header contains the source and destination MAC addresses and the EtherType field that indicates the type of the payload. The MPLS label stack contains one or more labels that are used for forwarding decisions by the MPLS routers. Each label consists of four fields: label value, experimental bits, bottom of stack, and time to live. The IP header contains the source and destination IP addresses and other information for routing and fragmentation. The order of the headers is important because it determines how the packet is processed by different devices in the network12.
