Nokia 4A0-C02 Exam - Topic 12 Question 81 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nokia's 4A0-C02 exam

Question #: 81
Topic #: 12

Click on the exhibit below.

In the diagram below, SAP 1 is put into the blocking state as a result of the spanning tree protocol. What will occur in the VPLS instance if SAP 2 goes down and SAP 1 transitions to the forwarding state? Select the most accurate statement.

AA Spanning Tree BPDU will be sent across the mesh flushing the FDB table in all devices participating in the VPLS instance.

BStale information will be used within the VPLS instance to forward traffic until the FDB ages out.

CAn LDP control message will be sent to all devices in the mesh participating in the VPLS instance. Only MAC addresses associated with the PE that the failure occurred on will be flushed.

DAn LDP control message will be sent to all devices in the mesh participating in the VPLS instance. The entire FDB in the VPLS instance will be flushed.

Option D sounds too extreme for just one SAP going down.

I think option B makes the most sense since it mentions stale information, but I'm not completely confident about the flushing part.

I feel like an LDP control message is involved, but I can't recall if it flushes the entire FDB or just specific MAC addresses.

This question seems similar to one we practiced where we discussed FDB aging. I think stale information might be used for a bit before it gets updated.

I remember studying how the spanning tree protocol works, but I'm not entirely sure what happens when SAP 1 transitions to forwarding.

Okay, I'm feeling more confident now. I believe the correct answer is option D, as an LDP control message will be sent to flush the entire FDB in the VPLS instance when SAP 1 transitions to the forwarding state.

I think I have a strategy for this. I'll start by reviewing the spanning tree protocol and how it impacts the forwarding behavior in a VPLS instance. Then I'll consider the implications of SAP 2 going down and SAP 1 transitioning to the forwarding state.

I'm a bit confused by the terminology used in this question. VPLS, SAPs, and FDB tables - I'll need to make sure I understand these concepts before I can confidently select the right answer.

Okay, let's see. The key information here is that SAP 1 is in the blocking state due to the spanning tree protocol. I'll need to think through how that might impact the VPLS instance if SAP 2 goes down.

Wait, do I need to do anything else besides just adding the alt text? I want to make sure I'm not missing any other steps here. I better review the instructions one more time.

Security management approval seems like a key step. We'll need their buy-in on the prioritization process to make sure it aligns with the organization's security policies.

I'm torn between options C and D, but I think D is the better choice. Flushing the entire FDB in the VPLS instance is the safest and most comprehensive way to handle this scenario.

Haha, I can just imagine the network admin frantically hitting the 'Flush FDB' button after SAP 2 goes down. 'Time to hit the reset button on this whole thing!'

Option C doesn't quite make sense to me. Why would only the MAC addresses associated with the PE where the failure occurred be flushed? That seems too limited in scope for the VPLS instance.

I'm a bit skeptical about option B. Relying on stale information doesn't sound like a reliable solution, especially in a VPLS instance. The FDB needs to be properly updated to ensure proper forwarding.

Option D seems the most accurate. If SAP 2 goes down and SAP 1 transitions to forwarding, an LDP control message will be sent to all devices in the VPLS instance, resulting in a full FDB flush. Simple and straightforward.
