Ahubis aphysical layer (Layer 1)networking device used to connect multiple Ethernet devices in a network. Unlike switches or routers, hubs donot inspect or process frame headers. Instead, they perform a simple task:

Receive a signal (electrical or optical) on one port

Replicate that signal identically to all other ports

This means the hubdoes not examine Layer 2 (MAC addresses) or Layer 3 (IP addresses)and doesnot perform intelligent forwarding. It merelybroadcasts all incoming traffic to every other connected device, often resulting inhigh collision domainsand poor efficiency.

Option Adescribes arepeater, not a hub.

Option Cdescribes aswitch(Layer 2 device).

Option Ddescribes arouter(Layer 3 device).

Option Bis correct: A hub does not inspect headers and replicates traffic blindly.

AP router (Provider router)is locatedin the core of the service provider’s network. Its functions include:

ForwardingMPLS-labeled packetsbetweenPE routers.

Not interacting directly with customer routes or routing instances.

Having no knowledge ofVPN routing or customer-specific services.

Option C is correct– P routers sit in theMPLS core, isolated from customer edge.

The Link layer, also known as the Data Link layer in the OSI model, is responsible for encapsulating packets from the Network layer into frames suitable for transmission over the physical medium. This process includes adding headers and trailers to the packet to create a frame, which contains necessary information for error detection, addressing, and control.​

According to the OSI model, the Data Link layer serves as the intermediary between the Network layer and the Physical layer. It ensures that data is packaged into frames and manages the access to the physical transmission medium.​

Option A correctly describes this function.​

Option B pertains to the Network layer, which is responsible for encapsulating data into IP datagrams and determining the routing of these datagrams across networks.​

Option C relates to the Transport layer, which handles the encapsulation of application data into transport layer segments, such as TCP or UDP messages.​

Option D is a function of the Physical layer, which deals with the transmission and reception of raw bitstreams over a physical medium, including the timing and synchronization of signals.​

Address summarization(also called route aggregation) is a technique used in IP routing to combine several contiguous network prefixes into asingle summarized route.

This reduces the number of routes that need to be advertised and stored in routing tables, improvingscalability and performance.

Option A is correct– summarization replaces many specific routes with a single aggregated route.

Option Brefers to best path selection (not summarization).

Option Cis incorrect; duplicate advertisements are still processed and filtered based on metrics.

Option Dis unrelated to summarization; directly connected routes are always advertised unless specifically filtered.

Tier 1 ISPs: Haveglobal reachabilityand exchange traffic via peering. Theydo not payfor transit.

Tier 2 ISPs: Purchasetransit services from Tier 1and provide transit to Tier 3 or other Tier 2 ISPs.

Tier 3 ISPs: Providelast-mileconnectivity to end users and donot provide transit services.

Option A is correct– Tier 1 and Tier 2provide transit services.

On theNokia 7750 SR, theControl Processor Module (CPM)includes two compact flash slots,CF1 and CF2, which are used for storing crucial system files. These include:

Runtime software image

Configuration files

Logs and backup configurations

BothCF1 and CF2are used for redundancy and flexibility. Typically, CF1 is designated as the primary storage location for the active software image and configuration, while CF2 serves as a backup. In some configurations, the router can boot from either CF1 or CF2 depending on system settings and availability.

This redundancy is essential for high availability and fast recovery in the event of a failure or manual software update.

Abroadcast domainis a logical division of a network in which all nodes can reach each other with broadcast frames (Layer 2). Devices within the same broadcast domain receive broadcast packets sent by others.

In the diagram:

Multiple users connect tohubs.

Hubs are Layer 1 devices anddo not break broadcast domains. They simply replicate incoming electrical signals to all ports.

Hubs are then connected toswitches.

Switches, unless VLANs are configured,forward broadcasts to all ports except the incoming one, effectively keeping all devices in the same broadcast domain.

The two switches are connected together without VLAN segmentation.

Therefore:

The entire LAN depicted isa single Layer 2 broadcast domain.

There areno routers or VLANsto break or separate the domain.

Correct answer: A. 1

Link-State routing protocols(e.g.,OSPF,IS-IS) operate by:

Each routerflooding link-state advertisements (LSAs)throughout the network.

Every router constructs acomplete map of the network topology.

Then each router runs theSPF algorithmto compute optimal paths.

Option C is correct– routers know theentire network topology.

Option A isDistance Vector behavior(e.g., RIP).

Option B isnot efficient or accurate for Link-State.

Option D –hop-countis used inDistance Vector(e.g., RIP).

TheNokia 7750 SR architectureseparates its operations intocontrol planeanddata planefunctions.

TheData Planeincludes hardware components responsible for forwarding traffic at line rate. These components include:

MDA (Media Dependent Adapter)– interfaces with physical media.

IOM (Input/Output Module)– performs high-speed packet forwarding and processing.

XMA (eXpandable Media Adapter)– extends port capacity and media support.

TheControl Planeincludes theCPM (Control Processor Module), which is responsible for running routing protocols, managing configuration, system operations, and other control-related functions. The CPM does not participate in data forwarding and is thusnot part of the data plane.

ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)is used for network diagnostics and error messaging. Key uses include:

Ping (Echo Request/Reply)– tests end-to-end connectivity✔

Traceroute– uses ICMP time exceeded messages to identify hops✔

Error reporting– returns various error types with differentcodes✔

However,ICMP does not re-route traffic. If a destination is unreachable, ICMP reports the error back to the sender; it doesn’t instruct routers to re-route.

Option D is FALSE– ICMPdoes not perform routing.

AMAC address(Media Access Control address) is a 48-bit identifier typically expressed in six groups of two hexadecimal digits (e.g., 00-20-60-CE-2B-28). It consists of two key parts:

OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier)– The first24 bits(or first 3 octets, e.g., 00-20-60) are assigned by theIEEE to hardware manufacturers. This identifies the vendor or manufacturer.

Device Identifier (NIC Specific)– The remaining24 bits(e.g., CE-2B-28) are assigned uniquely by the vendor to each device/interface.

So in the address 00-20-60-CE-2B-28:

00-20-60 is theOUI

CE-2B-28 is thedevice-specific portion

Thus, the correct answer isD. 00-20-60.

In MPLS architecture, theIngress LER (Label Edge Router)is responsible for:

Pushing labelsonto unlabeled packets and injecting them into the MPLS domain.

Acting as thestarting point of the Label Switched Path (LSP).

From the diagram:

R1is thestarting point (Ingress LER)for both LSP A and LSP B.

R4is theEgress LER, which wouldpopthe labels at the end of the LSP.

So,R1 is responsible for label push (imposing)at the start of both LSPs.

Option A is correct– R1 pushes labels for both LSP A and LSP B.

Option Bis incorrect – R4 is an egress router, not ingress.

Option C/Dare incorrect – the LSPs both start at R1.
