Question 310
A fictional service-provider team at Kingfisher Wholesale is reviewing a multi-tenant service turn-up. The finding is: A backup link should be traversed explicitly during a maintenance test, yet the segment list lacks a link-specific adjacency instruction. Which observation would most directly establish that the reported failure has been repaired?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Packet traces follow the specified adjacency rather than merely the IGP shortest path to a node SID. It tests the failed behavior itself rather than merely confirming that a configuration was committed. An adjacency SID steers traffic across a specific link, whereas a prefix SID steers toward a node or prefix along shortest paths. Applied here, the relevant facts are: A backup link should be traversed explicitly during a maintenance test, yet the segment list lacks a link-specific adjacency instruction. The question asks which observation would most directly establish that the reported failure has been repaired.
Incorrect Answers
The intended LSP is admitted on a path satisfying its bandwidth constraints without oversubscribing reserved resources. That establishes RSVP path bandwidth admission rather than a repaired segment routing adjacency SID path. The reported failure still requires this evidence: packet traces follow the specified adjacency rather than merely the IGP shortest path to a node SID.
The LDP session establishes over reachable transport addresses and peers exchange expected label bindings. It would validate a separate LDP transport address reachability operation, not the change needed here. Confirm instead that packet traces follow the specified adjacency rather than merely the IGP shortest path to a node SID.
BGP peers exchange the intended IPv6 NLRI and establish resolvable IPv6 next hops. That establishes multiprotocol BGP IPv6 AFI rather than a repaired segment routing adjacency SID path. The reported failure still requires this evidence: packet traces follow the specified adjacency rather than merely the IGP shortest path to a node SID.
