The correct answer is C. nsr process-failures switchover. To achieve uninterruptible failover between active and standby Route Processors (RPs) on XR-PE1, especially without graceful restart support from peers, Non-Stop Routing (NSR) should be configured to trigger a switchover upon process failures.

Question

Refer to the exhibit. A network engineer must configure XR-PE1 for uninterruptible failover from the active RP to the standby RP. Neither peer device C-GW1 nor the core network of ASN 64512 support grateful restart extensions. Which configuration must the engineer apply to XR-PE1 to complete the task?

Why each option

To achieve uninterruptible failover between active and standby Route Processors (RPs) on XR-PE1, especially without graceful restart support from peers, Non-Stop Routing (NSR) should be configured to trigger a switchover upon process failures.

Ansr process-failures switchover

This choice is syntactically identical to choice C, which is the correct answer. The exact distinction in the original question cannot be determined from the provided text.

Brouter bgp 64512 nsr

The command `router bgp 64512 nsr` would enable NSR specifically for the BGP process, but `nsr process-failures switchover` is a global NSR command that defines the overall system behavior for RP switchover upon process failures, aligning more broadly with the 'uninterruptible failover' goal.

Cnsr process-failures switchoverCorrect

The requirement for 'uninterruptible failover' of the Route Processor (RP) on XR-PE1, particularly when peer devices do not support graceful restart, points directly to using Non-Stop Routing (NSR). NSR maintains control plane state, including routing protocols like BGP, across an RP switchover. The command `nsr process-failures switchover` configures the system to automatically trigger a switchover to the standby RP if critical processes on the active RP fail, ensuring continuous operation of routing services without session drops.

Dnsr process-failures switchover

This choice is syntactically identical to choice C, which is the correct answer. The exact distinction in the original question cannot be determined from the provided text.
