Question 310
At a manufacturing group in Copenhagen, a post-change check targets this documented issue: A VPNv4 prefix reaches a PE without its RT extended community, so import policy cannot identify the target VPN. Which observation is the strongest evidence that the repair worked?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for bgp extended community transmission. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Verify VPNv4 address family and supported extended-community propagation between PE speakers', actually resolved the reported issue at a manufacturing group in Copenhagen. The original failure was: A VPNv4 prefix reaches a PE without its RT extended community, so import policy cannot identify the target VPN.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies vpnv4 bgp family in a different situation, such as when pE loopback BGP peers are Established for ordinary IPv4 unicast but customer VPN prefixes are absent. For the reported bgp extended community transmission incident at a manufacturing group in Copenhagen, the required acceptance evidence is: Received VPNv4 paths retain the intended RT and are imported only into authorized VRFs. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies no unsolicited inter-vrf communication in a different situation, such as when two VRFs on one PE have valid routes but customer staff expect automatic communication across them. For the reported bgp extended community transmission incident at a manufacturing group in Copenhagen, the required acceptance evidence is: Received VPNv4 paths retain the intended RT and are imported only into authorized VRFs. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies route-target import missing in a different situation, such as when the remote PE receives a VPNv4 route but the destination tenant VRF does not import it because RT values do not match. For the reported bgp extended community transmission incident at a manufacturing group in Copenhagen, the required acceptance evidence is: Received VPNv4 paths retain the intended RT and are imported only into authorized VRFs. This other result does not test that condition directly.
