Question

An engineer must extend Layer 2 Between two campus sites connected through an MPLS backbone that encapsulates Layer 2 and Layer 3 data. Which action must the engineer perform on the routers to accomplish this task?

Options

  • AConfigure a EtherChannel for E-LAN.
  • BConfigure a pseudowire for E-LINE.
  • CConfigure Cisco MPLS TE for use with E-TREE.
  • DConfigure QoS for MPLS and E-ACCESS

Why each option

To extend Layer 2 connectivity between two campus sites over an MPLS backbone that encapsulates Layer 2 and Layer 3 data, an engineer must configure a pseudowire for an E-LINE service.

AConfigure a EtherChannel for E-LAN.

EtherChannel aggregates multiple physical links for increased bandwidth and redundancy within a local network segment, not for extending Layer 2 across a wide-area MPLS backbone.

BConfigure a pseudowire for E-LINE.Correct

A pseudowire is the correct mechanism to extend Layer 2 between two sites over an MPLS backbone. It emulates a point-to-point Ethernet connection (E-LINE service) by encapsulating Layer 2 frames into MPLS packets for transport across the core network.

CConfigure Cisco MPLS TE for use with E-TREE.

Cisco MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) is used for optimizing traffic paths and reserving bandwidth within an MPLS network, but it does not directly extend Layer 2 connectivity itself.

DConfigure QoS for MPLS and E-ACCESS

Configuring QoS for MPLS and E-ACCESS is focused on managing traffic quality and network access, not on establishing the fundamental Layer 2 connectivity between disparate sites.
