Refer to the exhibit. The network engineer is performing end-to-end MPLS path testing with these conditions: - Users must perform MPLS OAM for all available same-cost paths from R1 to R4…

The correct answer is C. traceroute mpls multipath ipv4 10.10.10.4 255.255.255.255 verbose. To perform MPLS OAM for all same-cost paths and retrieve detailed next-hop IP information, the traceroute mpls command must include both the multipath and verbose keywords.

Question

Refer to the exhibit. The network engineer is performing end-to-end MPLS path testing with these conditions:

  • Users must perform MPLS OAM for all available same-cost paths from R1

to R4.

  • Traceroute operations must return all of the next-hop IP details.

Which configuration meets these requirements?

Why each option

To perform MPLS OAM for all same-cost paths and retrieve detailed next-hop IP information, the `traceroute mpls` command must include both the `multipath` and `verbose` keywords.

Atraceroute mpls ipv4 10.10.10.4 255.255.255.255 verbose

This command includes the `verbose` option for detailed output but lacks the `multipath` keyword, meaning it will only trace one path to the destination, not all available same-cost paths.

Btraceroute mpls multipath ipv4 10.10.10.4 255.255.255.255

This command includes the `multipath` option to discover all same-cost paths but omits the `verbose` keyword, which means it will not provide the required 'all of the next-hop IP details' in its output.

Ctraceroute mpls multipath ipv4 10.10.10.4 255.255.255.255 verboseCorrect

The `multipath` keyword in the `traceroute mpls` command specifically instructs the router to discover and display all Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) paths an MPLS packet can take, fulfilling the requirement for 'all available same-cost paths.' Additionally, the `verbose` keyword provides enhanced output, including detailed next-hop IP addresses, outgoing interface information, and labels, meeting the condition for returning 'all of the next-hop IP details.'

Dtraceroute mpls ipv4 10.10.10.4 255.255.255.255 source 10.10.10.1

This command specifies a source interface but lacks both the `multipath` keyword to find all same-cost paths and the `verbose` keyword for detailed next-hop information, thus failing to meet either of the specified requirements.
