16
Q

What is the EVC in the E-Tree Service?

A

Remote devices can only see the hub router. All communication has to go through the hub router.

17
Q

How many subnets would an E-Line Service need?

A

One for each pair of devices connected. Ex. 3 E-Lines = 3 Subnets

18
Q

For any of the Metro E services what does it mean when a customer device has sub-interfaces?

A

Dot1q Trunking is being used.

19
Q

How many subnets would an E-LAN Service use?

A

1 subnet, all devices become routing protocol neighbors

20
Q

How many subnets would an E-Tree Service use?

A

1 subnet, each remote site has neighbor relationship with the hub router only. Hub router has neighbor relationships with all remote routers.

21
Q

What is a Bandwidth Profile?

A

A plan to limit bandwith to something LESS than the Ethernet NIC could potentially send by the SP using QOS Policing and Customer using QOS Shaping

22
Q

What is an MPLS VPN?

A

A layer 3 WAN

23
Q

In MPLS VPNs what is the CE?

A

Customer Edge device. Typically a router that sits at the Customer’s site on one end of the Access Link.

24
Q

In MPLS VPNs what is the PE?

A

Provider Edge device. It sits at the Edge of the Provider’s network on the other end of the Access Link.

25
Q

What kind of Access Links can be used for an MPLS VPN?

A

A variety of Access Links

26
Q

How does QOS work in an MPLS VPN?

A

Customer marks voice packets in Layer 3 header, SP recognizes the marking and honors them throughout the network.

27
Q

Does an MPLS VPN provider need to know about the Customer’s routes?

A

Yes

28
Q

In an MPLS VPN who does the CE become routing protocol neighbors with?

A

With the PE router on the other end of the Access Link

29
Q

In an MPLS VPN does a CE router become routing protocol neighbors with other CE routers?

A

No.

30
Q

In an MPLS VPN how does a CE router find out about routes on other CE routers?

A

The PE router performs Route Redistribution

31
Q

In an MPLS VPN what routing protocol do PE routers run?

A

The customer’s routing protocol on the interface coming in from the CE and then Redistributing into Multiprotocol BGP throughout the SP Network.

32
Q

What is a Super Backbone?

A

In an MPLS VPN if the Customer is running OSPF the PE routers combine to form and may extend an existing Area 0. CE routers may or may not be in Area 0.

33
Q

In an MPLS VPN when the customer is running EIGRP how can the customer preserve accurate metrics when routes get redistributed into and out of the MPLS VPN?

A

By using the same EIGRP ASN number on all CE routers
