How many times must BGP be configured when running symmetric IRB with two VFRs?
C
Explanation:
When running symmetric Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) with two Virtual Forwarding Routers
(VFRs), BGP must be configured twice. Each VFR will have its own BGP instance to handle the routing
information.

What is the correct order of steps for data flow in asymmetric IRB frame encapsulation?
None
Explanation:
Ingress VTEP performs a route lookup that is based on the destination IP address.
Ingress VTEP encapsulates the packet with VXLAN and sends it on the appropriate VNI segment.
Egress VTEP determines that the host is local to the VNI and switches the packet.
Egress VTEP bridges the packet after decapsulation.
Steps and Correct Order:
Ingress VTEP performs a route lookup that is based on the destination IP address.
The ingress VTEP (Virtual Tunnel Endpoint) first needs to determine the next hop for the packet. This
involves performing a route lookup using the destination IP address.
Ingress VTEP encapsulates the packet with VXLAN and sends it on the appropriate VNI segment.
Once the route lookup is complete, the ingress VTEP encapsulates the packet in a VXLAN header,
which includes the appropriate VNI (VXLAN Network Identifier) segment, and forwards it.
Egress VTEP determines that the host is local to the VNI and switches the packet.
The egress VTEP receives the encapsulated VXLAN packet, decapsulates it, and then checks its local
VNI to determine if the destination host is within the same VNI.
Egress VTEP bridges the packet after decapsulation.
After determining the destination host's locality, the egress VTEP bridges the packet to the
appropriate interface to deliver it to the final destination.

asymmetric IRB (Integrated Routing and Bridging) frame encapsulation within a VXLAN environment.
What does the show vian command display?
A
Explanation:
The show vlan command displays all configured VLANs on the device, including their status, ports,
and other relevant details. It does not limit the display to only active VLANs or all possible VLANs but
shows those that are currently configured.

Which two things does the no vrrp 100 address-family ipv6 command delete?
AD
Explanation:
The no vrrp 100 address-family ipv6 command deletes the VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy
Protocol) identifier (A) and the address-family configuration (D) for VRRP group 100. This effectively
removes the VRRP configuration for the specified address family.

An administrator obtains the following CLI output:
How much time does the local system take to detect remote failures without receiving packets?
B
Explanation:
The local timers in the BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) configuration show a detect
multiplier of 4 and a receive interval of 300ms. The time taken to detect remote failures is calculated
as detect multiplier × receive interval = 4 × 300ms = 1200ms.

Which two elements are configured when RoCE is enabled?
BC
Explanation:
When RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) is enabled, Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) and
Priority Flow Control (PFC) are two key elements that need to be configured. ETS allows for
bandwidth allocation among different traffic classes, and PFC provides lossless Ethernet operation
for specific traffic classes to support low-latency, high-performance network communication.

What are the supported modes for the QSFP28 ports on an S5248F?
A
Explanation:
The QSFP28 ports on an S5248F switch support multiple modes, including 1x100G, 1x40G, 2x50G,
and 4x25G. These modes provide flexibility in network design and enable the switch to support
different types of network connections and bandwidth requirements.

What are two characteristics of route maps in Enterprise SONIC?
BC
Explanation:
Route maps in Enterprise SONIC are used for controlling and modifying routing information. They
contain a series of commands with matching criteria and actions. The permit or deny clause within
route maps determines whether the matching routes are permitted or denied from being
redistributed.

Which network devices route unencapsulated user traffic in a symmetric IRB overlay network?
A
Explanation:
In a symmetric Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) overlay network, the Source Virtual Tunnel End
Point (VTEP) and the Destination VTEP route unencapsulated user traffic. Symmetric IRB ensures that
routing occurs at both the ingress and egress VTEPs, allowing for optimized traffic flow and efficient
network operations.

Refer to the exhibit.
What is the primary VRRP router for VRRP group 10?
B
Explanation:
Based on the exhibit, Router-2 has the highest priority (90) in VRRP group 10. In VRRP, the router
with the highest priority becomes the primary (master) router. Therefore, Router-2 is the primary
VRRP router for VRRP group 10.
