Nokia SRC Certification 4A0-100 New Questions

TheNokia 7750 SR architectureseparates its operations intocontrol planeanddata planefunctions.

TheData Planeincludes hardware components responsible for forwarding traffic at line rate. These components include:

MDA (Media Dependent Adapter)– interfaces with physical media.

IOM (Input/Output Module)– performs high-speed packet forwarding and processing.

XMA (eXpandable Media Adapter)– extends port capacity and media support.

TheControl Planeincludes theCPM (Control Processor Module), which is responsible for running routing protocols, managing configuration, system operations, and other control-related functions. The CPM does not participate in data forwarding and is thusnot part of the data plane.

ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)is used for network diagnostics and error messaging. Key uses include:

Ping (Echo Request/Reply)– tests end-to-end connectivity✔

Traceroute– uses ICMP time exceeded messages to identify hops✔

Error reporting– returns various error types with differentcodes✔

However,ICMP does not re-route traffic. If a destination is unreachable, ICMP reports the error back to the sender; it doesn’t instruct routers to re-route.

Option D is FALSE– ICMPdoes not perform routing.

AMAC address(Media Access Control address) is a 48-bit identifier typically expressed in six groups of two hexadecimal digits (e.g., 00-20-60-CE-2B-28). It consists of two key parts:

OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier)– The first24 bits(or first 3 octets, e.g., 00-20-60) are assigned by theIEEE to hardware manufacturers. This identifies the vendor or manufacturer.

Device Identifier (NIC Specific)– The remaining24 bits(e.g., CE-2B-28) are assigned uniquely by the vendor to each device/interface.

So in the address 00-20-60-CE-2B-28:

00-20-60 is theOUI

CE-2B-28 is thedevice-specific portion

Thus, the correct answer isD. 00-20-60.

In MPLS architecture, theIngress LER (Label Edge Router)is responsible for:

Pushing labelsonto unlabeled packets and injecting them into the MPLS domain.

Acting as thestarting point of the Label Switched Path (LSP).

From the diagram:

R1is thestarting point (Ingress LER)for both LSP A and LSP B.

R4is theEgress LER, which wouldpopthe labels at the end of the LSP.

So,R1 is responsible for label push (imposing)at the start of both LSPs.

Option A is correct– R1 pushes labels for both LSP A and LSP B.

Option Bis incorrect – R4 is an egress router, not ingress.

Option C/Dare incorrect – the LSPs both start at R1.
