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

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.

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:
