Question

Refer to the exhibit. A large service provider is migrating device management from Layer 2 VLAN-based to Layer 3 IP-based solution. An engineer must configure the ISIS solution with these requirements:

  • Network management server IP 172.16.10.1 must be advertised from the

core MPLS network to the regional domain.

  • The external network 202.10.0.0/24 must not establish ISIS peering

with the R5 router.

  • The regional network must prevent sending unnecessary hello packets

and flooding the routing tables of the R5 router. Which two ISIS parameters must be implemented to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Why each option

To fulfill the ISIS requirements, the attached bit must be configured on the ISIS instance to enable inter-area routing from the core to the regional domain, and the LSP lifetime maximum should be set to manage routing table stability by controlling how long Link State Packets persist.

ALSP lifetime maximumCorrect

Configuring the `LSP lifetime maximum` parameter helps manage the overall size and validity of routing tables by ensuring that Link State Packets (LSPs) do not persist indefinitely. This contributes to preventing the flooding of stale or unnecessary routing information, thus improving routing table stability and efficiency on routers like R5.

Badvertise-passive-only

`advertise-passive-only` is not a standard ISIS command or parameter for this context; `passive-interface` is used to suppress hellos and peering on an interface.

Coverload bit passive

`overload bit passive` refers to setting the overload bit, which prevents a router from being used for transit traffic but still advertises its directly connected routes, which does not directly address preventing unnecessary hello packets or specific route advertisement requirements.

Dattached bit on ISIS instanceCorrect

Enabling the `attached bit on ISIS instance` (typically on an L1L2 router connecting the regional L1 area to the core L2 area) is crucial for inter-area routing. This bit signals to L1 routers (like R5 if it's L1) that a path to other areas (like the core where 172.16.10.1 resides) exists, allowing them to install a default route and thus reducing the necessity for R5 to learn all detailed L2 routes, which prevents 'flooding' of its routing table with unnecessary details.

Epassive-interface Loopback0

`passive-interface Loopback0` prevents ISIS peering and hello packets on Loopback0. While `passive-interface` is the correct mechanism for preventing unnecessary hello packets and peering on an interface, specifying 'Loopback0' might not be relevant to the external network interface or other regional interfaces, making it a potentially incomplete or incorrect choice if the intent was general interface control.
