4A0-100 Exam Dumps : Nokia IP Networksand Services Fundamentals

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.

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.

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).
