    What are the actions of adding and removing labels called with MPLS?

    • Plug and play

    • Wipe on wipe off

    • Push and pop

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Push and pop
    Explanation
    The actions of adding and removing labels with MPLS are referred to as "push and pop". When a packet enters an MPLS network, a new label is pushed onto the packet header. This label is used to determine the forwarding path. When the packet reaches its destination, the label is popped off, and the original IP header is revealed. This push and pop mechanism allows for efficient routing and forwarding of packets within an MPLS network.

    Name the device that adds or strips labels for frames entering or exiting the provider MPLS network.

    • Core router

    • Edge Label Switch Router

    • Edge Switch

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Edge Label Switch Router
    Explanation
    The device that adds or strips labels for frames entering or exiting the provider MPLS network is called an Edge Label Switch Router. This device is responsible for applying MPLS labels to incoming packets and removing them from outgoing packets, allowing for efficient routing within the MPLS network. Core routers are responsible for forwarding packets within the network, while edge switches are responsible for connecting devices within a local network. None of these devices perform the specific task of adding or stripping labels in the MPLS network.

    What are the four portions of MPLS info in a data frame?

    • Label, Experimental, BS (last label in stack), TTL

    • Label, TTL, Checksum

    • Label, Experimental, TTL

    • None of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Label, Experimental, BS (last label in stack), TTL
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Label, Experimental, BS (last label in stack), TTL. In MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), the label is the key component that identifies the forwarding path for the data frame. The experimental field is used for Quality of Service (QoS) purposes. The BS (Bottom of Stack) indicates whether the label is the last one in the stack. The TTL (Time to Live) field is used to prevent data frames from circulating indefinitely in the network.

    On what Cisco proprietary technology is MPLS based?

    • PaGP

    • CEF

    • ISL

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. CEF
    Explanation
    MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is based on Cisco's proprietary technology called CEF (Cisco Express Forwarding). CEF is a high-speed switching technology used in Cisco routers to forward packets efficiently. It uses a forwarding information base (FIB) and an adjacency table to make forwarding decisions based on labels. By using CEF as the underlying technology, MPLS is able to provide efficient and scalable packet forwarding, traffic engineering, and quality of service (QoS) capabilities.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What table is created by CEF?

    • Arp table

    • FIB

    • IP Route Table

    • Layer 3 label

    Correct Answer
    A. FIB
    Explanation
    CEF (Cisco Express Forwarding) is a forwarding technology used in Cisco routers. It creates a Forwarding Information Base (FIB) table, which is used for making forwarding decisions. The FIB table contains the next-hop information for destination IP addresses and is used to determine the best path for packet forwarding. Therefore, the correct answer is FIB.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Official routing protocol of MPLS

    • RIPv2

    • FIB Forwarding Information Base

    • LDP Label Distribution Protocol.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. LDP Label Distribution Protocol.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is LDP (Label Distribution Protocol). LDP is the official routing protocol used in MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) networks. It is responsible for distributing labels that are used to forward packets through the MPLS network. LDP establishes label-switched paths (LSPs) between routers, allowing efficient and scalable forwarding of traffic. RIPv2 and FIB are not specific to MPLS and do not serve as the official routing protocol for MPLS networks. Therefore, the correct answer is LDP.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    How many bits are in an MPLS label?

    • 10

    • 16

    • 20

    • Label, TTL, and BS

    Correct Answer
    A. 20
    Explanation
    An MPLS label consists of 20 bits. The MPLS label is used to identify the forwarding equivalence class (FEC) for a packet, allowing routers to make forwarding decisions based on the label rather than the packet's network layer header. The 20-bit label provides a large number of possible labels, allowing for efficient routing and traffic engineering in MPLS networks.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Where does the MPLS label live in a data frame?

    • Between IP and data

    • Between IP and MAC

    • Within the IP layer

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Between IP and MAC
    Explanation
    The MPLS label lives between the IP and MAC layers in a data frame. MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is a technique used in packet-switched networks to efficiently route data packets. It adds a label to the IP packet, which is used to determine the forwarding path. This label is inserted between the IP and MAC headers in the data frame. By placing the MPLS label at this position, the network devices can quickly and accurately identify the appropriate forwarding path for the packet based on the label, improving network efficiency and performance.

    • 22

    • 646

    • 464

    • 643

    Correct Answer
    A. 646
    Explanation
    LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) is a protocol used in MPLS networks to distribute labels between routers. It operates on UDP port 646.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Label 3 routing protocols and label exchange protocols exist at which MPLS plane?

    • Transport plane

    • Control plane

    • Data plane

    • Sarengeti plane

    Correct Answer
    A. Control plane
    Explanation
    The control plane in MPLS is responsible for establishing and maintaining the label-switched paths (LSPs) in the network. It handles tasks such as label distribution, routing, and signaling between routers. Therefore, it is in the control plane where the routing protocols and label exchange protocols exist in MPLS. The transport plane is responsible for forwarding the actual data packets based on the established LSPs, while the data plane is where the actual data packets are encapsulated with MPLS labels. The Sarengeti plane is not a recognized plane in MPLS.

    What ISP router adds labels to routes learned by say BGP?

    • LSR Label Switching Router

    • FIB Forwarding Information Base router

    • LDP Label Discovery Protocol router

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. LSR Label Switching Router
    Explanation
    An ISP router adds labels to routes learned by BGP using LSR (Label Switching Router). LSR is responsible for the implementation of label switching in a network. It assigns labels to incoming packets and forwards them based on these labels, enabling efficient and fast routing. The other options, FIB Forwarding Information Base router and LDP Label Discovery Protocol router, do not specifically deal with adding labels to routes learned by BGP. Therefore, the correct answer is LSR Label Switching Router.

    _______ sends data based on L3 or L2 information and takes care of label swapping. 

    • Transport plane

    • Control plane

    • Data plane

    • Serengeti plane

    Correct Answer
    A. Data plane
    Explanation
    The data plane is responsible for sending data based on L3 or L2 information and takes care of label swapping. It is the component of a network that handles the actual transmission of data packets. It forwards the packets from one network node to another, making routing decisions based on the information contained in the packet headers. The data plane operates independently of the control plane, which is responsible for managing and configuring the network.

    To what multicast address are LDP hellos sent?

    • 224.0.0.10

    • 224.0.0.5

    • 224.0.0.2

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 224.0.0.2
    Explanation
    LDP hellos are sent to the multicast address 224.0.0.2. Multicast addresses are used to send data packets to multiple destinations simultaneously. In this case, LDP hellos are sent to this specific multicast address to discover and establish LDP sessions with neighboring routers. The other multicast addresses mentioned (224.0.0.10 and 224.0.0.5) are not used for LDP hellos.

    What is the difference between the FIB and the LFIB?

    • FIB forwards IP packets while LFIB forwarded *labelled* IP packets.

    • FIB forwards routing information while LFIB forwards label routing information.

    • FIB forwards full label paths while LFIB forwards only limited path information.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. FIB forwards IP packets while LFIB forwarded *labelled* IP packets.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the FIB forwards IP packets while the LFIB forwards *labelled* IP packets. This means that the FIB is responsible for forwarding regular IP packets based on routing information, while the LFIB is used for forwarding IP packets that have been labeled for specific paths. The LFIB is used in MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) networks, where labels are added to IP packets to improve routing efficiency and speed.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Once labels are exchangedvia LDP between two routers _____ is built?

    • FIB

    • LIB

    • FLIB

    • LFIB

    Correct Answer
    A. LIB
    Explanation
    When labels are exchanged via LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) between two routers, the LIB (Label Information Base) is built. The LIB is a table that stores the mapping between the incoming labels and the corresponding outgoing interfaces and labels. It is used by the routers to make forwarding decisions based on the received labels.
