•  The PCE (Path Computation Element) communicates with the PCC (Path Computation Client) using the PCEP. PCEP is responsible for path computation and signaling in MPLS networks.

The configuration shown indicates that Router 1 is set up with a route-map named “ddos” that matches traffic tagged with “tag 1”. The traffic matching this tag is then set to have a next-hop IP of 192.0.2.1 and a local preference of 150. The community is also set to “no export”, which means this route will not be advertised to external BGP peers. Since there’s no explicit deny statement in the configuration, only traffic with tag 1 and local preference of 150 will be dropped by Router 1 as per the BGP routing policy. References: Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies course materials. 

 In the context of Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies, LDP-IGP Synchronization is configured to ensure that the IGP and LDP convergences are synchronized. Option C is correct because it shows the configuration where router ISIS 1 is being configured with MPLS LDP sync, but not on a specific interface, ensuring that LDP is operational on all interfaces where IS-IS is enabled before routes are advertised. References := Cisco

The configuration should include a class-map that matches the ICMP traffic destined for the web server’s IP address. This can be achieved by using an access control list (ACL) within the class-map to match the ICMP traffic. Then, a policy-map should be applied that sets the next hop to the IP address of the new security appliance. This policy-map is then applied to the appropriate interface on router R2 using the service-policy command.

References: The Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) course provides detailed information on configuring class-maps and policy-maps for traffic redirection. Specifically, it covers topics related to VPLS services and DDoS protection, which are relevant to the scenario presented in the question12. The course materials and official Cisco documentation serve as the primary references for this solution.
