 Cisco MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) tunnels necessitate a link-state routing protocol like OSPF or IS-IS because these protocols use Shortest Path First (SPF) calculations. The tunnel endpoints leverage these SPF calculations to implement the tunnel, ensuring an efficient and optimized path through the network. This is essential for MPLS TE, which aims to optimize network resource utilization and improve traffic distribution across the network.

The correct configuration for deploying VRF on ASBR router R1 to have connectivity over an MPLS VPN inter-AS Option AB network is found in option C. This involves configuring the interface with the commands shown, including setting the interface ethernet, applying IP VRF forwarding, and enabling MPLS BGP forwarding. These steps ensure that the interface is properly configured for VRF and can support MPLS VPN inter-AS communications effectively. References := Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies

When choosing between SaltStack and Chef for network automation, it is important to consider that Chef is an agent-based tool written in Ruby, while SaltStack is a Python-based module tool. This fundamental difference in language and architecture can influence the decision based on the existing environment and the team’s expertise.
