Segment routing is a source routing paradigm that allows a source router to define the path that a packet will take through the network by assigning an ordered list of segments—identifiers that specify a forwarding path for the packet through the network. Segment Routing can be implemented over an MPLS architecture or with IPv6 (SRv6).

A. Segment routing does not require a full mesh of adjacencies or state per transit path in the network, which is often the case with conventional MPLS signaling protocols like RSVP-TE. It leverages the existing IGP topology for forwarding without the need to maintain a state for each LSP (Label Switched Path), hence requiring very little resources to maintain.

B. In segment routing, labels (or segments) are distributed via IGP routing protocols like OSPF or IS-IS with extensions to carry segment routing information. These protocols are enhanced with Segment Routing extensions to distribute labels. For example, OSPFv2 is extended with Segment Routing extensions defined in RFC 8665.

C. This statement is not entirely correct. While it is true that segment routing does not require the maintenance of a state for each path (LSP), the concept of "segment routing adjacencies" is a mischaracterization. Segment routing leverages the existing adjacencies formed by the underlying IGP.

D. Label assignments in segment routing are not advertised through LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) updates. Segment routing does away with LDP and instead uses IGP extensions to distribute labels.

Nonstop routing (NSR) requires both Graceful Routing Engine Switchover (GRES) and commit synchronization to be configured to maintain routing protocol and forwarding state during a Routing Engine switchover. NSR allows the secondary Routing Engine to take over the control plane without the protocols needing to restart, and GRES ensuresthat the forwarding plane continues operating with the current forwarding table. Commit synchronization ensures that configuration changes are synchronized between the primary and backup Routing Engines.

In an MPLS network, the types of routers include ingress routers (where the MPLS labels are first applied), egress routers (where MPLS labels are removed), and transit routers (which switch MPLS-labeled packets through the MPLS network). Peering routers andaggregation routers are not specific types of MPLS routers; they are general network terms.

With Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), a full mesh of label-switched paths (LSPs) is automatically created between all LDP-enabled routers, and these paths are reflected in the inet.3 table. LDP LSPs are set up when LDP is enabled on interfaces connecting routers in an MPLS network.

In MPLS, multiple paths can be merged if they share the same egress router. In the given scenario, traffic from Network 1 to Network 3 and Network 4 can be engineered to follow the same label-switched path (LSP) within the MPLS network until they reach the last common point before diverging to their respective destinations.

As for R3 performing label operations, in a typical MPLS network, intermediate routers (like R3) perform label swapping. They replace the incoming label with a new label before forwarding the packet along the LSP. A label pop operation is typically performed by the egress router in the case of an ultimate hop pop (UHP), where it removes the MPLS label before delivering the packet to the final destination outside the MPLS domain.

To create connections between routing instances on the same Junos device and route between them, you can use logical tunnel interfaces, which are virtual interfaces that can be used to route traffic between instances without the need for physical connectivity. Additionally, loopback interfaces, which represent the device itself, can be used to route traffic between routing instances as they are always up and can be reached within the device.

Generated routes are a type of route that can be created to summarize and generate more specific routes within the routing table. Unlike aggregate routes, which summarize existing routes and inherit a next-hop, generated routes do not necessarily have to match an existing route and will have a next-hop of reject by default unless specified otherwise.

In BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), the Update message is used to advertise new routes to a peer or to withdraw previously advertised routes. If there's a change in the routing information or if a new route needs to be advertised, BGP uses an Update message. This message is crucial for maintaining the most current and accurate routing information among BGP peers.

The other message types serve different purposes:

Keepalive: This message type is used to maintain the connection between BGP peers and ensure that the link is still active. Keepalive messages are periodically sent between peers when there is no other BGP activity to maintain the session.

Notification: This message is used to indicate errors or other significant events to a BGP peer. If a BGP error condition is detected, a Notification message is sent and the BGP session is typically closed.

Refresh: This is not a standard BGP message type. However, in the context of BGP, Route Refresh is a capability (not a message type) that allows a BGP router to request a full or partial re-advertisement of routes from a peer. This helps in re-synchronizing routing tables without tearing down the BGP session.

The BGP Update message is used to advertise routable destinations and includes route advertisements, route withdrawals, and path attribute modifications. Update messages are used to re-advertise routes that have already been acknowledged.References:

The exhibit shows an aggregate route configuration for the network172.21.0.0/22, which would summarize the specific networks172.21.0.0/24,172.21.1.0/24, and172.21.2.0/24. For an aggregate route to be active, it must have contributing routes in the routing table. If the route is hidden, it usually means there are no contributing routes that are active or the policy applied to the aggregate does not match any of the specific routes.Therefore, the first step in troubleshooting would be to verify that there are indeed active contributing routes for the aggregate to be valid.

To ensure that MPLS traffic-engineered routes are used without affecting IGP routes in the route tables, the mpls-forwarding traffic engineering setting should be used. This setting allows MPLS to influence forwarding without changing the IGP route selection.References:

To verify the status of the tunnel from R1, you would issue a ping from the source address that is assigned to R1's end of the tunnel. In the exhibit, we can see that the tunnel interface (gre-0/0/0.0) has the IP address 198.51.100.1 on R1. Therefore, to test the tunnel's status, you should ping the IP address at the other end of the tunnel (which is likely the address on User B's interface or another interface on R2) from R1's tunnel source address.

Neighbors Stuck in Exstart/Exchange State The problem occurs most frequently when you attempt to run OSPF between a Cisco router and another vendor router. The problem occurs when the maximum transmission unit (MTU) settings for neighboring router interfaces do not match. If the router with the higher MTU sends a packet larger that the MTU set on the neighboring router, the neighbor router ignores the packet. When this problem occurs, the output of the show ip ospf neighbor command displays output similar to what is shown in this figure.

A mismatched Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) setting on OSPF interfaces can cause routers to get stuck in the ExStart state. OSPF requires that both sides of a link have the same MTU to form a full adjacency.References:

The exhibit shows the configuration of a virtual switch calledsw-1with two VLANs defined within it:vlan_1with VLAN ID 1 andvlan_2with VLAN ID 2. To add interfacexe-1/0/5to the virtual switch, the interface must be associated with one of these VLANs. Since the interface is already configured withvlan-id 2, it implies that it is intended to be part ofvlan_2within the virtual switchsw-1. Therefore, the correct answer is to add interfacexe-1/0/5to thevlan_2bridge domain under thesw-1routing instance.

The AS path is a BGP attribute that lists the autonomous systems (AS) that routing information has passed through to get to a destination. It is used to detect and prevent routing loops by checking if the router's own AS number is in the path.

In the given exhibit, interfacege-0/0/0is configured to accept VLANs 101-120 andge-0/0/1is configured with flexible VLAN tagging, which means it can tag traffic with any VLAN ID specified. However, only VLAN 200 is explicitly mentioned forge-0/0/1.A. Traffic tagged with VLAN 101 will pass throughge-0/0/0and will egress onge-0/0/1with the same VLAN tag, because the VLAN ID is within the allowed range on both interfaces.B. VLAN 100 is not specified in the allowed VLAN range forge-0/0/0(which is 101-120),nor is it specified underge-0/0/1. Therefore, it will be dropped.References:

The adjacency SID in segment routing is advertised by one router to inform another about the label that should be used to forward traffic to it over a particular link. In this scenario, Router B would advertise an adjacency SID to Router A, which would be usedby Router A to forward traffic to Router B. Based on the exhibit, the adjacency SID that Router B advertises to Router A would be 12.

In segment routing, SIDs (Segment Identifiers) are used to identify different types of segments that can be traversed. A node SID represents an instruction to route a packet to a particular node, and an adjacency SID represents an instruction to route a packet over a specific link or adjacency between two nodes.

The "ultimate-hop-popping" term refers to the action taken by the penultimate router in an LSP to remove the MPLS label before delivering the packet to the ultimate router,which is not desired here. Configuring the "explicit-null" statement causes the penultimate router to replace the top label with a label that has a value of 0, which instructs the ultimate router to perform a label lookup and preserve the label switching for the entire LSP.

The root bridge in a spanning-tree network is the bridge with the smallest or the lowest bridge ID.

In the absence of a manually configured priority, the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) elects the root bridge based on the lowest bridge ID, which is a combination of the priority and the MAC address. The device with the lowest MAC address will have the lowest bridge ID and thus be elected as the root bridge.

In OSPF, a totally stubby area does not permit type 3 summary LSAs (inter-area routes) or type 5 external LSAs (routes from outside the OSPF domain) to be flooded into the area. The area border router (ABR) will only send a default route as a type 3 LSA into the totally stubby area.

In MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) networks, routers use label switching to forward packets. The first router at the edge of the MPLS network (R1) will perform a lookup in the mpls.0 table to determine the label to attach to the packet as it enters the MPLS network. This label informs the next routers in the MPLS network (like R2) on how to forward the packet. Internal MPLS routers, like R2, also perform lookups in their mpls.0 table to determine how to switch the packet toward its destination (label swapping). The inet.3 table is used for resolving next-hop information for labeled routes, but it's the mpls.0 table that is used for label switching decisions.

When you want to advertise an interface in OSPF but not form an OSPF adjacency over that interface (for example, towards an ISP), you can configure the interface as passive. This will advertise the network on the interface in OSPF without sending OSPF hello packets or forming OSPF neighbor relationships on that interface.
