4A0-112 Exam Dumps : Nokia IS-IS Routing Protocol

In the configuration on router R1, the static route is defined with the next-hop IP address of139.120.121.1.

However, the next-hop IP address139.120.121.1does not belong to the same subnet as the directly connected interface on R1, which is172.31.1.1/30. For the static route to work properly, the next-hop IP address must be reachable via a directly connected interface, meaning it must be within the same subnet.

Therefore, this mismatch in subnet adjacency is likely causing the failure to reach the destination (139.120.121.2).

From the output, we can see that theusagecolumn indicates whether a router is operating as an L1 or L2 router:

RoutersR1andR2have a usage ofL2, meaning they are L2 routers.

RoutersR3andR4have a usage ofL1, meaning they are L1 routers.

TheL1/L2designations refer to whether the routers participate in both Level 1 and Level 2 of IS-IS:

L1 routersonly communicate within their own area.

L2 routerscommunicate between areas.

In this case,R1andR2are L2 routers, andR3andR4are L1 routers.

In this scenario, the routers are configured with an Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) value of 4, meaning they can utilize up to 4 equal-cost paths to reach a destination. Since Router R5 is advertising the 192.168.3.0/24 prefix and all links have the same cost, router R3 will receive multiple routes to reach this destination.

Given that all the routers (R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5) are connected in a way that can support multiple equal-cost paths, and assuming ECMP is set to 4, the routing table on Router R3 will have up to 4 entries for the prefix 192.168.3.0/24.

Thus, Router R3's routing table will contain4 entriesfor the prefix 192.168.3.0/24.
