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

In MPLS, multiple paths can be merged if they share the same egress router. In the given scenario, traffic from Network 1 to Network 3 and Network 4 can be engineered to follow the same label-switched path (LSP) within the MPLS network until they reach the last common point before diverging to their respective destinations.

As for R3 performing label operations, in a typical MPLS network, intermediate routers (like R3) perform label swapping. They replace the incoming label with a new label before forwarding the packet along the LSP. A label pop operation is typically performed by the egress router in the case of an ultimate hop pop (UHP), where it removes the MPLS label before delivering the packet to the final destination outside the MPLS domain.

The exhibit shows an aggregate route configuration for the network172.21.0.0/22, which would summarize the specific networks172.21.0.0/24,172.21.1.0/24, and172.21.2.0/24. For an aggregate route to be active, it must have contributing routes in the routing table. If the route is hidden, it usually means there are no contributing routes that are active or the policy applied to the aggregate does not match any of the specific routes.Therefore, the first step in troubleshooting would be to verify that there are indeed active contributing routes for the aggregate to be valid.

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:
