Question | Answer |
---|---|
What two benefits do SPs get from using MPLS? | BGP free core, offer L2/L3 VPNs to customers |
What is the size of an MPLS header? | 4 bytes |
Describe the makeup of the MPLS header. | 20 bit Label, 3 bit EXP, 1 bit BoS, 8 bit TTL |
What are MPLS labels bound to? | Forwarding Equivalency Class (FEC) |
What table does the MPLS router use to switch traffic? | LFIB |
What MPLS router imposes labels? | PE or LER |
What MPLS router switches traffic based only on MPLS label? | P or LSR |
What three major operations to MPLS PE and P routers perform? | push, swap, and pop |
What is Penultimate Hop Popping (PHP)? | The next to last SP router performs to pop operation |
How does the PE signal that it wants its peer to perform PHP? | Advertising an implicit-null label (reserved label 3) |
What are the two MPLS label protocols? | LDP and TDP |
How does MPLS LDP and TDP establish adjacencies? | Relies on the IGP |
How does MPLS protocols LDP and TDP advertise IGP routes to all neighbors by default? | Automatically |
What MPLS protocol is typically used with Traffic Engineering and requires manually configured tunnels? | RSVP |
What protocol, address, and port does TDP use to discover MPLS neighbors? | UDP broadcast to port 711 |
What protocol, address, and port does LDP use to discover MPLS neighbors? | UDP multicast to 224.0.0.2, port 646 |
What TCP ports do TDP and LDP use? | TDP - 711, LDP - 646 |
What are the 3 steps for enabling MPLS protocol TDP? | enable CEF, set protocol, enable MPLS on the interface |
What command can be used to discover the remote MPLS label protocol? | debug ip packet detail |
Where is the TCP session sourced from in MPLS TDP and LDP? | router-ID interface |
Command to modify MPLS LDP router-id? | mpls ldp discovery transport-address |
How does an MPLS header get It's TTL value? | Copied from the IP packet |
Command for VRF aware static routes? | ip route vrf … |
What is added to a VPNv4 route in MP-BGP to make it globally unique? What is its length? | Route Distinguisher (RD), 8 bytes |
What BGP community is used to control the importing and exporting of routes? What is its length? | route-target, 8 bytes |
What mechanisms allows VPNv4 route control on a per prefix basis? | import map and export map |
What is the format for a route distinguisher or a route-target? | ASN:nn or IPv4address:nn |
How does a VPNv4 speaker know to accept VPNv4 routes? | The route-target has to match a local VRF |
How does a MPLS PE exchange IPv4 routes with a CE? | VRF aware protocols |
What is needed when BGP is not the PE-CE protocol? | redistribution |
How many different routes can a MPLS LFIB contain for one FEC? | 1, best route from IP routing table |
How does a PE ingress router know which label to impose on a packet? | FIB (Forwarding Information Base) |
What does the LDP LID consist of? | 32 bit router ID and 2 byte label space number |
How is ths LDP router-ID chosen? | Configured, Highest up/up loopback, highest up/up non-loopback |
What keyword is used to specify traffic created by SP routers when speaking of withholding MPLS TTL propagation? | local |
What keyword is used to specify traffic from outside of the SP network when speaking of withholding MPLS TTL propagation? | forwarded |
How do P routers populate their LFIB to label switch packets? | IGP |
How do PE routers exchange customer routes with other PE routers? | iBGP |
What three separate instances does each VRF contain on a router? | IP routing table, FIB, routing protocol |
What are the four steps to create a simple VPN VRF? | configure vrf name, configure route distinguisher, configure import and export route-targets, associate interface |
With PE to PE iBGP peering, what commands go under main BGP process? | connection specific |
With PE to PE iBGP peering, what commands go under the vpnv4 address family? | neighbor activate, neighbor send community |
