 The local-as keyword is used in BGP configurations to change the local AS number that is used in the BGP OPEN message when establishing a BGP session with a specific neighbor. In this case, even though the router is configured with AS 65000, it will use AS 65112 when establishing a connection with neighbor 192.168.1.2 due to the local-as keyword configuration. References := Cisco

 A prefix segment identifier (PSID) is a unique identifier used in Segment Routing (SR) networks. It is locally significant within a specific SR domain. Each PSID corresponds to a specific segment (such as a node or an adjacency) in the SR domain. PSIDs are used to create segment lists that define the path a packet should follow through the network. Unlike globally unique identifiers, PSIDs are only meaningful within the context of a single SR domain.

 For OSPF, the subnet mask must match between two devices on the same network segment to form an adjacency, as it defines the network’s address range. The hello timer setting is crucial for the OSPF Hello protocol, which is used for neighbor discovery and maintaining neighbor relationships. Finally, the area number must be the same because OSPF uses areas to define a hierarchy within the network, and routers within the same area share routing information.

 In the context of Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies, LDP-IGP Synchronization is configured to ensure that the IGP and LDP convergences are synchronized. Option C is correct because it shows the configuration where router ISIS 1 is being configured with MPLS LDP sync, but not on a specific interface, ensuring that LDP is operational on all interfaces where IS-IS is enabled before routes are advertised. References := Cisco

The correct configuration for MPLS LDP synchronization with OSPF process 1 on router R1 is to use the command mpls ldp igp sync holddown 60 under the OSPF process configuration. This ensures that the MPLS LDP synchronization is enabled and held for 60 seconds with OSPF process 1, which helps prevent black holes in MPLS networks during the convergence process by ensuring that routes are not advertised until LDP is fully operational and labels have been exchanged between adjacent routers.

The REST API script in the exhibit is used to configure a VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) instance. In the script,  defines a tenant named “customer”, and  creates a VRF named “customervrf” within that tenant. A VRF allows multiple instances of a routing table to co-exist within the same router at the same time, enabling network paths to be segmented without requiring multiple routers. References: Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies source documents or study guide.

The issue here is that R1 and R2 cannot yet establish an LDP TCP connection. From the exhibit, it’s clear that the password is not required as it states “Password: not required, none, in use”. So, option C “Configure the no mpls Idp password option 1 command on R2” would be the correct answer to allow the establishment of an LDP TCP connection without requiring a password. This aligns with Cisco’s guidelines on configuring MPLS LDP where passwords might not be necessary for establishing connections between routers.
