Refer to the exhibit. A customer has multiple physical locations connected by an ISP in AS 65516 that runs MPLS in the core. Customer traffic passes through the ISP core using Layer 2. A network…

The correct answer is D. Configure the pseudowire encapsulation to be MPLS. The ISP core is MPLS-enabled, so the AToM pseudowire between PEs must use encapsulation mpls. Without MPLS encapsulation on the xconnect/pseudowire, the VC will not come up and traffic (the ping) fails. Configuring the pseudowire to use MPLS encapsulation resolves the issue.

Question

Refer to the exhibit. A customer has multiple physical locations connected by an ISP in AS 65516 that runs MPLS in the core. Customer traffic passes through the ISP core using Layer 2. A network engineer just configured a pseudowire to provide better service. However, when the engineer verified connectivity using a continuous ping between sites, the ping failed. Which action resolves the issue?
