Question 570
While troubleshooting SRv6 VPN decapsulation at Kestrel Broadband, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: decapsulated traffic is looked up in the correct customer VRF. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?
- A link-only bypass still traverses the failed node through another adjacency.
- A transit End SID is used expecting to select a customer VRF automatically.
- The primary TE tunnel is restored only after slow end-to-end recomputation.
- The LDP session drops solely because direct hello adjacency disappeared.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:The suspected defect directly frustrates SRv6 VPN decapsulation: a transit End SID is used expecting to select a customer VRF automatically. Correcting it should allow verification that decapsulated traffic is looked up in the correct customer VRF.
Incorrect Answers
A:This defect belongs to TI-LFA node protection, where the affected outcome is to protect a traffic flow against failure of the adjacent intermediate node. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the SRv6 VPN decapsulation design in this case: a transit End SID is used expecting to select a customer VRF automatically.
C:This defect belongs to RSVP fast reroute detour, where the affected outcome is to protect a traffic-engineered LSP locally against a planned link outage. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the SRv6 VPN decapsulation design in this case: a transit End SID is used expecting to select a customer VRF automatically.
D:This defect belongs to LDP session protection, where the affected outcome is to keep an LDP peer session through a brief loss of direct link connectivity. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the SRv6 VPN decapsulation design in this case: a transit End SID is used expecting to select a customer VRF automatically.
Question 571
Summit Service Provider must reduce IPv6 segment-list header overhead on a compatible SRv6 domain. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?
- SRv6 locator algorithm 128
- RSVP bandwidth reservation
- SRv6 micro SID compression
- PCE constrained path computation
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:SRv6 micro SID compression matches this requirement: the team should use supported micro-segment locator and processing behavior. A relevant outcome would be that compact microsegment instructions traverse the programmed node path correctly.
Incorrect Answers
A:SRv6 locator algorithm 128 instead addresses a different condition: separate a low-delay service routing intent from the normal algorithm-zero locator. It would instead require you to assign an SRv6 locator to Flexible Algorithm 128 with compatible IGP configuration, not the stated goal to reduce IPv6 segment-list header overhead on a compatible SRv6 domain.
B:RSVP bandwidth reservation instead addresses a different condition: reserve a bounded amount of link bandwidth for an MPLS TE LSP. It would instead require you to signal the required bandwidth and use correct TE admission information, not the stated goal to reduce IPv6 segment-list header overhead on a compatible SRv6 domain.
D:PCE constrained path computation instead addresses a different condition: delegate constrained SR-TE or MPLS-TE path computation to a path computation entity. It would instead require you to use a PCE-PCC architecture with agreed objectives and topology visibility, not the stated goal to reduce IPv6 segment-list header overhead on a compatible SRv6 domain.
Question 572
At Ridgeway Networks, the engineering change is approved for SRv6 micro SID compression. The specific goal is to reduce IPv6 segment-list header overhead on a compatible SRv6 domain. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Implementing SRv6 micro SID compression requires the operator to use supported micro-segment locator and processing behavior. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that compact microsegment instructions traverse the programmed node path correctly.
Incorrect Answers
A:The proposed step is for SRv6 locator algorithm 128, whose purpose is to separate a low-delay service routing intent from the normal algorithm-zero locator. It would not perform the necessary SRv6 micro SID compression operation: use supported micro-segment locator and processing behavior.
B:The proposed step is for RSVP bandwidth reservation, whose purpose is to reserve a bounded amount of link bandwidth for an MPLS TE LSP. It would not perform the necessary SRv6 micro SID compression operation: use supported micro-segment locator and processing behavior.
C:The proposed step is for PCE constrained path computation, whose purpose is to delegate constrained SR-TE or MPLS-TE path computation to a path computation entity. It would not perform the necessary SRv6 micro SID compression operation: use supported micro-segment locator and processing behavior.
Question 573
Lakeside Transport has deployed SRv6 micro SID compression to reduce IPv6 segment-list header overhead on a compatible SRv6 domain. The implementation step was to use supported micro-segment locator and processing behavior. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?
- Compact microsegment instructions traverse the programmed node path correctly.
- Locator state shows the intended algorithm and algorithm-specific path reachability.
- The tunnel establishes only when links report sufficient reservable resources.
- The PCC receives a viable path matching the constraints and programs it.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:For SRv6 micro SID compression, successful verification means that compact microsegment instructions traverse the programmed node path correctly. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can reduce IPv6 segment-list header overhead on a compatible SRv6 domain after deployment.
Incorrect Answers
B:The observation would verify SRv6 locator algorithm 128 under the separate requirement to separate a low-delay service routing intent from the normal algorithm-zero locator. It does not demonstrate the needed SRv6 micro SID compression result: compact microsegment instructions traverse the programmed node path correctly.
C:The observation would verify RSVP bandwidth reservation under the separate requirement to reserve a bounded amount of link bandwidth for an MPLS TE LSP. It does not demonstrate the needed SRv6 micro SID compression result: compact microsegment instructions traverse the programmed node path correctly.
D:The observation would verify PCE constrained path computation under the separate requirement to delegate constrained SR-TE or MPLS-TE path computation to a path computation entity. It does not demonstrate the needed SRv6 micro SID compression result: compact microsegment instructions traverse the programmed node path correctly.
Question 574
While troubleshooting SRv6 micro SID compression at Coastal Communications, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: compact microsegment instructions traverse the programmed node path correctly. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?
- A locator is left on algorithm 0 and assumed to select delay-aware paths.
- A conventional uncompressed SID chain is assumed to provide micro-SID size benefit.
- The LSP is signaled across a path with inadequate TE unreserved bandwidth.
- A path is selected by local shortest path ignoring the stated constraint.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:The suspected defect directly frustrates SRv6 micro SID compression: a conventional uncompressed SID chain is assumed to provide micro-SID size benefit. Correcting it should allow verification that compact microsegment instructions traverse the programmed node path correctly.

Question 575
Horizon Exchange must attach a segment routing IPv6 outer header to impose an explicit traffic-engineering path. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?
- SR policy color endpoint steering
- LDP hello discovery timer resilience
- SRv6 H.Encaps policy
- RSVP bandwidth reservation
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:SRv6 H.Encaps policy matches this requirement: the team should configure SRv6 encapsulation and the correct source and segment list. A relevant outcome would be that outer IPv6 packets follow the policy while inner customer traffic remains intact.
Incorrect Answers
A:SR policy color endpoint steering instead addresses a different condition: select the proper intent-based SR policy for a destination using BGP route color. It would instead require you to steer matching colored routes to an SR policy with correct color and endpoint, not the stated goal to attach a segment routing IPv6 outer header to impose an explicit traffic-engineering path.
B:LDP hello discovery timer resilience instead addresses a different condition: keep an LDP link adjacency stable through brief congestion without hiding real forwarding loss. It would instead require you to coordinate supported LDP hello interval and discovery holdtime settings on both core neighbors, not the stated goal to attach a segment routing IPv6 outer header to impose an explicit traffic-engineering path.
D:RSVP bandwidth reservation instead addresses a different condition: reserve a bounded amount of link bandwidth for an MPLS TE LSP. It would instead require you to signal the required bandwidth and use correct TE admission information, not the stated goal to attach a segment routing IPv6 outer header to impose an explicit traffic-engineering path.

Question 579
Northstar Carrier must protect an SR transport link using a loop-free post-convergence backup. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?
- SRv6 micro SID compression
- RSVP bandwidth reservation
- TI-LFA link repair
- LDP label binding verification
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:TI-LFA link repair matches this requirement: the team should enable supported topology-independent LFA protection in the IGP. A relevant outcome would be that the local repair path forwards traffic immediately after the primary link fails.
