Variation 1. Drag and drop each VRF-Lite or MPLS VPN characteristic on the left to its matching description on the right.

hard

✓ P1.VRF-Lite: Uses trunk ports and subinterfaces to separate traffic without MPLS
✓ P2.MPLS VPN: Employs MPLS labels and MP-BGP to isolate paths across multiple routers
✓ P3.VRF-Lite: Typically limited to a single device or directly connected switches
✓ P4.MPLS VPN: Allows overlapping customer IP addresses across different sites
✓ P5.VRF-Lite: Does not require an IGP or LDP in the core

Why P1: VRF-Lite uses only local VRFs without MPLS or MP-BGP, requiring trunk links; MPLS VPN uses MPLS labels and MP-BGP for scalable path isolation; VRF-Lite is simpler but limited to a single router or switch; MPLS VPN scales across an entire provider network; VRF-Lite does not support overlapping address spaces between sites without NAT.
