Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

In theNokia SR OS CLI, specifically in bothclassic CLIandMD-CLI, the"?" keyis used to display a list of all possible command options at a given point in the CLI, along with a brief description of each option.

This functionality helps the user in command discovery and reduces the chances of syntactical errors by showing only valid options.

The"Tab"key, while helpful, is primarily used forauto-completionand not for displaying detailed descriptions.

"Space bar"is used for command continuation, and"Return"executes the command or moves to the next line.

Correct usage example in classic CLI:

*A:SR1>config>router>interface# ?

- Shows all the valid commands and parameters under interface

A/26 subnetmeans26 bits for the networkand6 bits for host addressing(32 - 26 = 6):

2⁶ = 64 total addresses per subnet

64 - 2 =62 usable host addresses per subnet

/24 to /26 increases subnet bits by 2, so:

2² =4 subnetsfrom one /24

But the question asks aboutusing /26, which means:

From /24 → each /26 block gives64 IPs

So you get4 subnets total

But the options must be interpreted carefully!

→Let's calculate again properly:

/26 = 64 addresses per subnet (2⁶)

Usable hosts per subnet = 64 - 2 = 62

Number of subnets in /24 when divided by /26 = 2^(26 - 24) = 4 subnets

So correct result is:

4 subnets, 62 hosts per subnet→Correct Answer: C

However,Option D says 8 subnets, 30 hosts per subnet, which actually matches a/27 mask, not /26.

Final Correct Answer:C

AVPRN (Virtual Private Routed Network)provides aLayer 3 VPN serviceover a service provider’s network.

Each customer site connects to aPE router.

Sites are connected via arouted networkusingseparate routing instances.

Customer routers seerouted connectivity, as if connected to their own private WAN.

Option C is correct– VPRN providesrouted connectivitybetween sites.

Abroadcast domainis a logical division of a network in which all nodes can reach each other with broadcast frames (Layer 2). Devices within the same broadcast domain receive broadcast packets sent by others.

In the diagram:

Multiple users connect tohubs.

Hubs are Layer 1 devices anddo not break broadcast domains. They simply replicate incoming electrical signals to all ports.

Hubs are then connected toswitches.

Switches, unless VLANs are configured,forward broadcasts to all ports except the incoming one, effectively keeping all devices in the same broadcast domain.

The two switches are connected together without VLAN segmentation.

Therefore:

The entire LAN depicted isa single Layer 2 broadcast domain.

There areno routers or VLANsto break or separate the domain.

Correct answer: A. 1

In Nokia SR OS:

Aphysical interfacerefers to a physical port on the router (e.g., port 1/1/1).

It can be configured withIP addresses, associated with services (e.g., IES, VPRN), and connects to other routers or customer devices.

Systemandloopbackinterfaces arelogical interfaces, not physical.

Option D is FALSE, because a physical interfacecannotbe of type "system" or "loopback" — those arevirtual/logicalinterfaces in the Nokia router architecture.

In the diagram:

R2 and R4 areboth within AS 65540, which indicates that they are in thesame Autonomous System.

eBGP (External Border Gateway Protocol)is designed for routingbetween different ASes(inter-AS routing).

Since R2 and R4 are in thesame AS, you would use:

OSPForIS-IS(both interior gateway protocols – IGPs)✔

Static routingis also valid between any two routers if manually configured✔

eBGP❌is invalid between routersin the same AS.

➡The correct protocol in that case would beiBGP (internal BGP)if BGP were to be used within the AS.

Therefore, the correct answer is: D. eBGP

In Nokia SR OS, event logging allows the router to report system events, alarms, and operational changes to external systems or users. The valid logging destinations include:

SNMP– Used to send traps or informs to SNMP managers.

Syslog– Sends logs to centralized syslog servers, a standard for log management.

NETCONF– Can be used for event notification in model-driven management setups, although it is more frequently used for configuration and state management.

However,BOF (Boot Options File)isnota valid logging destination. TheBOFis used to store critical system boot configurations, such as:

Which image to boot from

Network interface settings

Auto-boot parameters

BOF plays no role in the logging infrastructure.

ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)is used for network diagnostics and error messaging. Key uses include:

Ping (Echo Request/Reply)– tests end-to-end connectivity✔

Traceroute– uses ICMP time exceeded messages to identify hops✔

Error reporting– returns various error types with differentcodes✔

However,ICMP does not re-route traffic. If a destination is unreachable, ICMP reports the error back to the sender; it doesn’t instruct routers to re-route.

Option D is FALSE– ICMPdoes not perform routing.

On theNokia 7750 SR, theControl Processor Module (CPM)includes two compact flash slots,CF1 and CF2, which are used for storing crucial system files. These include:

Runtime software image

Configuration files

Logs and backup configurations

BothCF1 and CF2are used for redundancy and flexibility. Typically, CF1 is designated as the primary storage location for the active software image and configuration, while CF2 serves as a backup. In some configurations, the router can boot from either CF1 or CF2 depending on system settings and availability.

This redundancy is essential for high availability and fast recovery in the event of a failure or manual software update.
