Nokia 4A0-103 Exam - Topic 5 Question 75 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nokia's 4A0-103 exam

Question #: 75
Topic #: 5

Click on the exhibit.

An LDP tunnel is established on router R1 towards router R6. The link between routers R2 and R4 goes down. What will happen to the MPLS data traffic to router R6 IMMEDIATELY after the link goes down?

AMPLS data traffic will be discarded until the IGP finds a new next-hop to router R3.

BMPLS data traffic will be discarded unless the LDP tunnel has a standby secondary path.

CMPLS data traffic will not be discarded because router R1 received labels from both next-hops, routers R2 and R3.

DMPLS data traffic will not be discarded because of fast reroute capability on router R2.

I thought labels from both next-hops would prevent data loss.

Fast reroute on R2 should keep the traffic flowing, right?

Wait, are we sure about that? What if there's a backup path?

I think MPLS traffic will be discarded until IGP finds a new path.

I recall that fast reroute can help maintain traffic flow, so maybe option D is correct? But I need to think about how that interacts with the link going down.

I think option C sounds right because if R1 has labels from both next-hops, it should still forward traffic, but I’m not completely confident.

This question feels similar to one we practiced where a link failure caused traffic rerouting. I think it might depend on whether there's a backup path.

I remember studying how LDP tunnels work, but I'm not sure if the traffic would be discarded immediately or if there would be some failover.

I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll need to think through the MPLS failover mechanisms and how they interact with the IGP. Hmm, this will require some careful analysis.

Okay, let's see. The key here is understanding how MPLS reacts when a link goes down on the LDP tunnel path. I think I have a strategy to work through this.

I'm a bit confused about how the LDP tunnel and IGP routing interact in this scenario. I'll need to review my MPLS knowledge.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky MPLS question. I'll need to think through the MPLS behavior carefully here.

This seems straightforward - the MPLS traffic should be discarded until the IGP finds a new next-hop. I'm confident I can select the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the OSPF protocol. I'll need to think through the key advantages to make sure I answer this correctly.

Ugh, I'm not too familiar with Cisco WSA configurations. Let me think this through step-by-step and see if I can figure out the right answer.

Wait, MPLS has backup dancers? I thought it was more like a one-man show, just labeling everything in sight!

C is the answer, no doubt. It's like having a backup dancer in case your main one trips on stage. MPLS is the diva, and the labels are the backup dancers!

Exactly, it ensures that the traffic keeps flowing smoothly even if there are disruptions.

Aha! I think C is the correct answer. If R1 received labels from both next-hops, it can continue forwarding traffic even if the link between R2 and R4 goes down.
