The provisioning steps that are common in both CP to plain MP networks are node creation, CPB provisioning process, node synchronization, and CPB power balance. These steps are required to create and commission the nodes, provision the cross-connect boards (CPBs), associate the links between the nodes, synchronize the network elements (NEs) with the NFM-T, and balance the power levels of the CPBs.

Question 2
How is the GMRE functionality guaranteed in Nokia equipment?
Options:
A.
Redundant LAN cables guarantee GMRE functionality
B.
Rack redundancy guarantees GMRE functionality in case of a power outage
The specific software configuration guarantees GMRE functionality
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Explanation:
The GMRE functionality is guaranteed in Nokia equipment by controller redundancy. The controller is the hardware component that runs the GMPLS software and controls the switching fabric of the node. Each node has two controllers, one active and one standby, that synchronize their states and databases. If the active controller fails, the standby controller takes over and ensures the continuity of the GMRE functionality.

Question 3
Which of the following best describes Quality of Service in GMPLS?
Options:
A.
The ability to switch back to the nominal route after a failure is repaired without impacting existing traffic
B.
The amount of information that is possible to store in the Traffic Engineering Database (TED)
C.
The ability to set constraints such as latency and priority for different kinds of services
D.
The possibility to have L0 and L1 switching treated with the same quality level in the same network
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Explanation:
Quality of Service (QoS) in GMPLS is the ability to set constraints such as latency and priority for different kinds of services. This means that GMPLS can allocate network resources according to the specific requirements of each service, such as voice, video, or data. For example, a voice service may need low latency and high priority, while a data service may need high bandwidth and low priority. GMPLS can use Traffic Engineering (TE) extensions to OSPF and RSVP protocols to advertise and reserve network resources based on QoS parameters.
