Question 1mediummultiple choice
Review the full OSPF breakdown →

A network engineer is troubleshooting an MPLS L3VPN where CE1 cannot reach CE2. The PE routers are running OSPF as the IGP and LDP for label distribution. On PE1, the engineer sees that the VRF route for CE2's subnet is present, but the corresponding MPLS label is missing in the LFIB. The show mpls ldp neighbor command shows LDP neighbors are up. What is the most likely cause of the missing label?

Question 2hardmultiple choice
Review the full OSPF breakdown →

A network engineer is troubleshooting MPLS traffic engineering (TE) tunnels. A TE tunnel from Router A to Router B is configured but remains down. The engineer runs show mpls traffic-eng tunnels and sees that the tunnel is in 'down' state with the error 'Path computation failed'. The IGP is OSPF with MPLS TE enabled, and the network is fully meshed. What is the most likely root cause?

Question 3mediummultiple choice
Read the full MPLS explanation →

A network engineer is troubleshooting an MPLS L2VPN (VPWS) where the pseudowire between two PE routers is down. The show mpls l2transport vc command displays state 'down' and the VC ID is correct on both ends. The engineer checks the MPLS LDP session and sees it is up, but the targeted LDP session for the pseudowire is not established. What is the most likely cause?

Question 4mediummultiple choice
Read the full MPLS explanation →

A network engineer is troubleshooting MPLS traffic where packets are being dropped at a P router. The engineer runs show mpls forwarding-table and sees that the outgoing label for a specific FEC is 'Untagged' instead of a valid label. The IGP is running correctly, and LDP neighbors are established. What is the most likely cause?

Question 5hardmultiple choice
Open the full BGP breakdown →

A network engineer is troubleshooting an MPLS L3VPN where CE1 can ping the PE1 interface but cannot ping CE2. On PE1, show ip route vrf CUSTOMER shows the route to CE2's subnet, but show bgp vpnv4 unicast all neighbors 10.0.0.2 advertised-routes does not show the route. The BGP session between PE1 and PE2 is established. What is the most likely cause?

Question 6mediummultiple choice
Read the full MPLS explanation →

A network engineer is troubleshooting MPLS LDP where the LDP session between two directly connected routers is not forming. The engineer runs show mpls ldp discovery and sees that LDP hellos are being sent and received on the link. However, show mpls ldp neighbor shows no neighbors. What is the most likely cause?

Question 7hardmultiple choice
Read the full MPLS explanation →

A network engineer is troubleshooting MPLS traffic where packets are being forwarded without a label (IP forwarding) instead of being label-switched. The engineer runs show mpls forwarding-table and sees that the FEC for the destination prefix has a valid label. However, show ip cef shows that the outgoing interface is not MPLS-enabled. What is the most likely cause?

Question 8hardmultiple choice
Read the full MPLS explanation →

A network engineer is troubleshooting MPLS TE where a tunnel is configured with explicit path but the tunnel remains down. The show mpls traffic-eng tunnels command shows 'Path computation failed' and the show mpls traffic-eng topology command shows that the explicit path includes a router that is not in the TED. What is the most likely cause?

Question 9mediummultiple choice
Open the full BGP breakdown →

A network engineer is troubleshooting MPLS L3VPN where traffic from CE1 to CE2 is being dropped. On PE1, show mpls forwarding-table shows that the label for the BGP next-hop is 'Pop tag' (implicit null). The engineer checks the remote PE and sees that it is advertising implicit null for the BGP next-hop. What is the most likely reason for the traffic drop?

Question 33hardmultiple choice
Review the full OSPF breakdown →

In an MPLS network, Router R1 is a provider edge (PE) router that redistributes BGP routes into OSPF. The network experiences intermittent loss of reachability to a specific prefix 10.10.10.0/24. R1 configuration includes: 'router ospf 1 redistribute bgp 65000 subnets metric-type 1' and 'router bgp 65000 neighbor 10.0.0.2 route-map SET-METRIC in' with a route-map that sets metric 100. R2, a P router, shows 'show ip route 10.10.10.0' output: 'O E1 10.10.10.0/24 [110/20] via 10.0.0.1, 00:00:15' but traffic fails. What is the root cause?

Question 34hardmultiple choice
Study the full EIGRP explanation →

A DMVPN network with EIGRP as the routing protocol experiences spoke-to-spoke tunnel failures. Hub router R1 has configuration: 'interface Tunnel0 ip nhrp network-id 1 ip nhrp map multicast dynamic ip nhrp redirect' and 'router eigrp 100 network 10.0.0.0'. Spoke router R2 shows 'show ip nhrp brief' output: '10.0.0.1/32 via 192.168.1.1, Tunnel0 created 00:10:00, dynamic' but 'show ip eigrp neighbors' shows only the hub. What is the root cause?

Question 35hardmultiple choice
Read the full MPLS explanation →

In an MPLS LDP network, routers R1 and R2 are directly connected via GigabitEthernet0/0. R1 shows 'show mpls ldp neighbor' output: 'Peer LDP Ident: 10.0.0.2:0, Local LDP Ident: 10.0.0.1:0, TCP connection: 10.0.0.2.646 - 10.0.0.1.646, State: OPERATIONAL' but 'show mpls forwarding-table' for prefix 192.168.1.0/24 shows 'No label'. R2 has the same prefix in its routing table. What is the root cause?

Question 36hardmultiple choice
Read the full MPLS explanation →

A VRF route leaking configuration causes unexpected reachability. Router R1 has VRF RED and VRF BLUE. Configuration: 'ip vrf RED rd 100:1 route-target export 100:1 route-target import 100:2' and 'ip vrf BLUE rd 100:2 route-target export 100:2 route-target import 100:1'. Router R2 is a route reflector with 'address-family ipv4 vrf RED' and 'address-family ipv4 vrf BLUE'. A host in VRF RED can ping a host in VRF BLUE, but not vice versa. What is the root cause?

Question 37hardmultiple choice
Review the full OSPF breakdown →

In an MPLS network, OSPF network type mismatch causes routing issues. Router R1 and R2 are connected via a multi-access Ethernet link. R1 has 'interface GigabitEthernet0/0 ip ospf network point-to-point', while R2 has default OSPF network type broadcast. R1 shows 'show ip ospf neighbor' output: 'Neighbor 10.0.0.2, interface address 10.0.0.2, state FULL' but 'show ip route' does not include routes from R2. What is the root cause?

Question 38hardmultiple choice
Study the full EIGRP explanation →

EIGRP stuck-in-active (SIA) occurs in a large network. Router R1 shows 'show ip eigrp topology 10.0.0.0/24' output: 'P 10.0.0.0/24, 1 successors, FD is 128000, Q is 0, SIA is 00:01:00' and 'show ip eigrp neighbors' shows neighbor R2 in state 'Active'. R1 configuration includes 'router eigrp 100 network 10.0.0.0 passive-interface default'. What is the root cause?

Question 39hardmultiple choice
Open the full BGP breakdown →

BGP attribute manipulation causes unexpected path selection. Router R1 and R2 are eBGP peers. R1 receives prefix 172.16.0.0/16 from R2 with MED 50 and from another peer R3 with MED 100. R1 has configuration: 'route-map SET-MED permit 10 set metric 200' applied to neighbor R2 inbound. R1 shows 'show ip bgp 172.16.0.0' output: 'BGP routing table entry for 172.16.0.0/16, version 2, Paths: (2 available, best #2) Path #1: from R2 with MED 200, Path #2: from R3 with MED 100'. The best path is via R3, but the network expects R2 to be preferred. What is the root cause?

CoPP (Control Plane Policing) rate-limit impacts legitimate traffic. Router R1 has CoPP policy applied: 'class-map match-all BGP class-map match-all SSH match protocol bgp match protocol ssh policy-map COPP class BGP police 10000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop'. Network engineers cannot SSH to R1, but BGP sessions are stable. 'show policy-map control-plane' output shows 'BGP class: 0 packets, 0 bytes' and 'SSH class: 0 packets, 0 bytes'. What is the root cause?

Route summarization blocks specific routes in an MPLS network. Router R1 is a PE router that summarizes routes from a VRF into BGP. Configuration: 'router bgp 65000 address-family ipv4 vrf CUSTOMER network 10.0.0.0 255.255.252.0' and 'aggregate-address 10.0.0.0 255.255.252.0 summary-only'. A specific prefix 10.0.3.0/24 is not reachable from the MPLS core. 'show ip bgp vpnv4 vrf CUSTOMER 10.0.3.0/24' output: 'Not in table'. What is the root cause?
