H12-831_V1.0 Exam Dumps : HCIP-Datacom-Advanced Routing & Switching Technology V1.0

Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) extends traditional BGP to support IPv6 routing information through multiprotocol path attributes.

The MP_REACH_NLRI attribute carries reachable network prefixes and their associated next-hop information. For IPv6 unicast routes, it normally includes the IPv6 global unicast address of the next-hop router.

In the topology, R1 belongs to AS 65001 and uses Loopback0 with IPv6 address 2000::1/128 to establish its EBGP relationship with R2 in AS 65002.

R1 imports the prefix 2001::1/128 into BGP and advertises it to R2. Because the EBGP session uses R1 ' s loopback address, the advertised IPv6 next hop is 2000::1.

The destination prefix and next-hop address serve different functions: 2001::1/128 identifies the reachable destination, while 2000::1 identifies the forwarding next hop.

Therefore, the statement is TRUE.

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

1. Understanding Site of Origin (SoO) in MPLS VPNs

SoO (Site of Origin) is used in MPLS VPNs to prevent loops in multi-homed CE scenarios.

Routes with the same SoO value are not advertised back to the same site.

2. Analysis of Each Answer Choice

A. " To enable CE3 to receive the route, run the command peer 10.1.1.1 soo 200:1 on PE1. " (❌ False)

SoO is used to prevent loops by tagging routes that belong to the same site.

Applying SoO (200:1) on PE1 for CE1 means that any other PE (such as PE2) receiving the route will not advertise it back to the same site (CE1).

This statement is false because applying SoO here does not directly enable CE3 to receive the route. Instead, CE3 must accept routes with SoO values properly configured.

B. " If the commands peer 10.1.1.1 soo 200:1 and peer 10.1.2.1 soo 200:1 are run on PE1, CE2 accepts the route. " (❌ False)

SoO ensures that a route received from one CE is not sent back to another CE in the same site.

If SoO (200:1) is assigned to CE1 and CE2, routes will be blocked because they share the same SoO tag.

Thus, CE2 will not accept the route, making this statement false.

C. " If the command peer 10.1.3.1 substitute-as is run on PE2, CE3 accepts the route. " (✅ True)

substitute-as allows a router to replace the received AS number in the AS_PATH with another AS number, ensuring that routes are accepted even when AS_PATH filtering is in place.

This prevents CE3 from rejecting the route due to AS-Path loop prevention.

✅ Thus, this statement is true.

D. " If no additional action is taken, CE3 discards the route. " (✅ True)

By default, CE3 will discard the route because of BGP loop prevention (same AS in the AS_PATH).

To allow CE3 to receive the route, the allowas-in or substitute-as command must be configured on PE2.

✅ Thus, this statement is true.

3. Evaluating the Answer Choices

Option

Correct?

Reasoning

A

❌ False

Applying SoO does not directly enable CE3 to receive the route.

B

❌ False

If both CE1 and CE2 have the same SoO value, CE2 will reject the route.

C

✅ True

Substitute-AS allows CE3 to accept the route by modifying the AS-Path.

D

✅ True

Without additional configuration, CE3 will discard the route due to AS-Path loop prevention.

✅ Correct Answer: A and B are false.

Final Conclusion:

SoO prevents routing loops in MPLS VPN multi-homing.

CE2 will reject the route if it has the same SoO as CE1.

CE3 requires the substitute-as or allowas-in command to accept the route.

Thus, statements A and B are false.

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

OSPFv3 (for IPv6) NSSA LSA (Type 7 LSA) is used in Not-So-Stubby Areas (NSSA).

Generated by: An ASBR (Autonomous System Boundary Router) inside the NSSA area.

Purpose: Advertises external routes (outside the AS) inside the NSSA.

Conversion: When the LSA reaches an ABR, it gets converted to a Type 5 External LSA before being propagated to other OSPF areas.

Why is this needed? NSSA areas allow some external route advertisements but do not permit normal Type 5 LSAs, so they use Type 7 LSAs instead.
