Question 510
At a manufacturing group in Copenhagen, a post-change check targets this documented issue: A P router in the MPLS core is expected to contain every customer IPv4 prefix to forward VPN traffic. Which observation is the strongest evidence that the repair worked?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for pe core versus customer forwarding. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Keep customer VRF routes on PE devices and use transport LSP labels through the P core', actually resolved the reported issue at a manufacturing group in Copenhagen. The original failure was: A P router in the MPLS core is expected to contain every customer IPv4 prefix to forward VPN traffic.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies vpn connectivity asymmetric in a different situation, such as when customer A can reach B but return traffic fails because the B-site VRF imports routes without exporting its local subnets. For the reported pe core versus customer forwarding incident at a manufacturing group in Copenhagen, the required acceptance evidence is: Transit P routers forward labeled packets without needing tenant IPv4 routing entries. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies vpn service inner label in a different situation, such as when transport labels carry packets to the destination PE but the PE lacks a usable VPN label for the customer's destination context. For the reported pe core versus customer forwarding incident at a manufacturing group in Copenhagen, the required acceptance evidence is: Transit P routers forward labeled packets without needing tenant IPv4 routing entries. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies route distinguisher overlapping tenants in a different situation, such as when two customers both advertise 10.10.0.0/16 and the operator assumes ordinary IPv4 BGP can carry them without unique VPN identity. For the reported pe core versus customer forwarding incident at a manufacturing group in Copenhagen, the required acceptance evidence is: Transit P routers forward labeled packets without needing tenant IPv4 routing entries. This other result does not test that condition directly.
