Question 360
At fictional Eastlake Services, during a multi-tenant service turn-up, engineers report: A new region is missing reflected route reachability because the route reflector does not classify intended clients correctly. Which observation would most directly establish that the reported failure has been repaired?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Authorized clients receive the expected reflected iBGP paths and preserve appropriate originator or cluster-loop protection. It tests the failed behavior itself rather than merely confirming that a configuration was committed. Ordinary iBGP does not readvertise iBGP-learned routes to another iBGP peer; route reflectors provide a controlled exception. Applied here, the relevant facts are: A new region is missing reflected route reachability because the route reflector does not classify intended clients correctly. The question asks which observation would most directly establish that the reported failure has been repaired.
Incorrect Answers
The same VLAN numbers can exist where supported without unintended MAC or broadcast leakage across isolated virtual switches. It would validate a separate virtual-switch instance isolation operation, not the change needed here. Confirm instead that authorized clients receive the expected reflected iBGP paths and preserve appropriate originator or cluster-loop protection.
Comparably eligible paths carry intended MEDs and route selection in the agreed test case follows the planned preference. That establishes BGP MED neighbor consideration rather than a repaired IBGP route reflection path. The reported failure still requires this evidence: authorized clients receive the expected reflected iBGP paths and preserve appropriate originator or cluster-loop protection.
Internal BGP best paths prefer the approved egress due to the intended local-preference values. That establishes BGP local preference rather than a repaired IBGP route reflection path. The reported failure still requires this evidence: authorized clients receive the expected reflected iBGP paths and preserve appropriate originator or cluster-loop protection.
