Question 30
A fictional service-provider team at Meadowrise Internet is reviewing a virtual-router integration. The finding is: A segment-routing route is advertised but routers map its global prefix SID to inconsistent MPLS labels after different SRGB ranges are configured. Which ongoing control would most directly detect or prevent the same failure from recurring?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Validate node-SID uniqueness, advertised SRGB ranges and effective label forwarding after upgrades. This monitors the behavior that failed at Meadowrise Internet; the most useful acceptance signal is that the prefix SID is advertised and all ingress routers compute consistent transport label behavior for the node destination.
Incorrect Answers
Test one-way BPDU loss and confirm correct port role and loop-protection state during maintenance. That ongoing check is for RSTP loop protection; it would not reliably detect recurrence of segment routing prefix SID. SR-MPLS prefix SIDs and the segment routing global block provide IGP-signaled reachability without relying on LDP for each FEC.
The control protects LDP label binding completeness. It does not establish the ongoing segment routing prefix SID behavior required in this network. SR-MPLS prefix SIDs and the segment routing global block provide IGP-signaled reachability without relying on LDP for each FEC.
The control protects RSVP path bandwidth admission. It does not establish the ongoing segment routing prefix SID behavior required in this network. SR-MPLS prefix SIDs and the segment routing global block provide IGP-signaled reachability without relying on LDP for each FEC.
