MPLS and Segment Routing

Question

Refer to the exhibit. An engineer working for a private telecommunication company with an employee id 4115 46 881 is enabling a segment routing solution with these requirements.

  • A service provider is using the default range for prefix SID.
  • PE1 must allocate the first SID from the default range for the

loopback address

  • PE1 and PE2 loopback SID allocation should have a minimum difference

of 500. Which configuration must be implemented to meet the requirements?

Explanation

Option B correctly configures PE1's loopback with prefix-sid index 0, allocating the very first label (16000) from Cisco's default SRGB range (16000–23999), and assigns PE2's loopback a prefix-sid index of 500 or greater, satisfying the minimum 500-label gap requirement between the two PEs.

Why the distractors fail:

  • Option A likely uses prefix-sid absolute 16000 for PE1 (correct value, wrong keyword context) or assigns PE2 an index that creates less than a 500-unit difference.
  • Option C likely modifies the global-block range, violating the "default range" requirement - any explicit SRGB reconfiguration disqualifies it.
  • Option D probably assigns PE1 a non-zero index (e.g., index 1, yielding label 16001 instead of 16000), missing the "first SID" requirement, or gives PE2 an index too close to PE1's.

Memory tip: Think "index 0 = first slot, index 500 = minimum gap." In Cisco SR-MPLS, the default SRGB starts at 16000 - index 0 maps to 16000, index 500 maps to 16500. If the question says "first SID" and "500 difference," mentally write index 0 for PE1 and index ≥ 500 for PE2.
