Question 100
At fictional Lighthouse Education, during a virtual-router integration, engineers report: An IGP route remains active for too long after a one-way transport fault because loss detection relies on slow routing hello timers. Which observation would most directly establish that the reported failure has been repaired?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A controlled link or peer failure causes BFD Down and timely routing reconvergence rather than waiting for long protocol timers. It tests the failed behavior itself rather than merely confirming that a configuration was committed. BFD provides rapid bidirectional path liveness detection; it triggers routing response but is not by itself a replacement route.
Incorrect Answers
This measurement tests graceful restart peer assistance; it cannot distinguish success from failure for the observed BFD fast failure detection condition. BFD provides rapid bidirectional path liveness detection; it triggers routing response but is not by itself a replacement route.
The check is meaningful for flexible VLAN encapsulation alignment, but it does not prove that BFD fast failure detection was repaired. BFD provides rapid bidirectional path liveness detection; it triggers routing response but is not by itself a replacement route.
This measurement tests NSR protocol state replication; it cannot distinguish success from failure for the observed BFD fast failure detection condition. BFD provides rapid bidirectional path liveness detection; it triggers routing response but is not by itself a replacement route.
