Question 730
The acceptance test for customer network paths at a managed services backbone in Amsterdam must confirm a fix for: An enabled BFD session stays down even though the IGP neighbors can exchange ordinary hello packets. Which outcome shows that the precise problem was corrected?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for bfd transport filtering. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Verify both BFD endpoints and permit the required BFD control traffic along the path', actually resolved the reported issue at a managed services backbone in Amsterdam. The original failure was: An enabled BFD session stays down even though the IGP neighbors can exchange ordinary hello packets.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies eigrp passive-interface in a different situation, such as when an EIGRP-enabled link never forms a neighbor relationship because it is configured as passive. For the reported bfd transport filtering incident at a managed services backbone in Amsterdam, the required acceptance evidence is: The BFD peer session comes up and reports Up independently of protocol hello reception. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies bgp rib failure in a different situation, such as when a prefix is visible as valid and best in BGP but cannot install into the RIB because another protocol has a preferable route. For the reported bfd transport filtering incident at a managed services backbone in Amsterdam, the required acceptance evidence is: The BFD peer session comes up and reports Up independently of protocol hello reception. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies ebgp nonconnected loopback in a different situation, such as when bGP TCP connectivity over loopbacks fails because a multihop eBGP peer relies on a default one-hop TTL. For the reported bfd transport filtering incident at a managed services backbone in Amsterdam, the required acceptance evidence is: The BFD peer session comes up and reports Up independently of protocol hello reception. This other result does not test that condition directly.
