JN0-363 Exam Dumps : Service Provider Routing and Switching, Specialist (JNCIS-SP)

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 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.

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.
