Question
Refer to the exhibit. A network operator is working to deploy a Unified BGP design and allow it to be available only in selected markets and services in the future. The label allocation is not functioning as desired. Which action will fix the issue?
Exhibit
Options
- ARemove the allocate-labels command.
- BReconfigure the route-policy ALL_LABELS to match all after the drop.
- CReconfigure the route-policy ALL_LABELS to pass.
- DRemove the route policy and only configure "allocate-label".

Explanation
In a Unified BGP (BGP-LU) design on Cisco IOS XR, the allocate-label command under the BGP address-family is used to control which prefixes receive MPLS label allocations. This command references a route-policy to filter which routes get labels. If the route-policy ALL_LABELS is misconfigured - for example, containing a drop action or not explicitly passing routes - then no labels will be allocated for the intended prefixes, breaking BGP-LU functionality. The fix is to reconfigure the route-policy ALL_LABELS to use pass, which instructs IOS XR to allocate labels to all matched routes. Option A (removing allocate-labels) would disable label allocation entirely. Option B (matching all after drop) is logically incorrect since drop terminates policy processing. Option D (removing the route-policy and keeping only allocate-label) would work only if the default policy passes all routes, but the proper fix is to correct the policy to pass.
