Question 460
An enterprise network designer recommends: Account for added Q-in-Q tag overhead and configure an adequate supported interface MTU. Which situation most clearly calls for this action?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This case requires the Q-in-Q overhead MTU action. The provider path can accommodate the larger encapsulated Ethernet frames.
Incorrect Answers
This other case would be better matched to Add an appropriate outer service tag while retaining the inner customer tag. The provider network can distinguish services without rewriting each customer's local VLAN number.
This other case would be better matched to Use supported IEEE 802.1ad Q-in-Q VLAN stacking at the provider edge. Customer VLAN identifiers can be preserved inside a provider service VLAN tag.
This other case would be better matched to Preserve the customer-facing inner 802.1Q tag throughout the supported tunnel. The far-end customer can continue to classify traffic by its original VLAN 37 tag.
