Question 700
A provider transports customer VLAN frames over an L2 circuit. Observed: Customer tags disappear at the remote CE port. Which change-acceptance control is most relevant to preventing this exact failure?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The control is specific to the initial failure. It requires the result Remote captures preserve the contracted customer VLAN header. and treats Customer tags disappear at the remote CE port. as a failure signal. The causal concern is vlan tagging and pseudowire encapsulation semantics differ at the endpoints.
Incorrect Answers
The proposed control is tied to the service has an inappropriate ethertype filter or nontransparent encapsulation, typically observed when iPv6 frames fail while ordinary IPv4 packets cross the same circuit. Here the target is vlan tagging and pseudowire encapsulation semantics differ at the endpoints; monitor remote captures preserve the contracted customer VLAN header.
This gate monitors a different failure, mac movement and broadcast storms appear after both ce ports activate. It would not detect the current problem: Customer tags disappear at the remote CE port. The appropriate check requires remote captures preserve the contracted customer VLAN header.
It is valid for another service scenario but checks the circuit stays down because no vc label is negotiated. This case instead needs a gate for customer tags disappear at the remote ce port and evidence that remote captures preserve the contracted customer VLAN header.
