Yes, the user can apply manual changes but only for non-GMPLS nodes, as the control plane reserves node resources not editable by the user. The edit EPT menu allows the user to view information about a node but is not used to modify node parameters. The user can only apply manual changes to non-GMPLS nodes, as the control plane reserves node resources which cannot be modified by the user.
Question # 5
Which use case is most suitable for the deployment of a star topology?
A.
Access networks, for collecting traffic towards the main central node
B.
ASON networks, to protect traffic via GMPL5 protocols
C.
Backbone networks, for supporting protection routes
A star topology is a network design where all devices are connected to a central hub, which acts as a central point of control and management for the network. This type of topology is commonly used in access networks, where a central node is used to aggregate traffic from multiple users or devices, and then forward it to the core network. This design allows for efficient use of resources and easy management of the network.

Question # 6
Which of the following applications is related to Wavelength Tracker tool?
A.
Collecting logs related to possible issue affecting a wavelength path
B.
Tracking the protection path for a specific wavelength
C.
Tracing the end-to-end wavelength optical power
D.
Correcting errors related to wavelength inconsistencies
Tracking the protection path for a specific wavelength. The Wavelength Tracker tool is used to track the protection path of a specific wavelength, allowing the user to quickly identify any issues that may arise and take corrective action.
Wavelength Tracker tool is a feature used to monitor and track the protection path for a specific wavelength in an optical network. It can also be used to monitor and verify the working state of the protection path, and to detect and troubleshoot protection switch events. The Wavelength Tracker tool can be used to monitor the protection path for a specific wavelength, and it can also be used to trace the end-to-end path of a wavelength through the network. This tool is typically used by network operators to monitor and troubleshoot wavelength-level issues in the network, such as protection switch events or wavelength-level performance issues.
