The correct answer is A. Configure the redistribute static and redistribute connected commands on R1. To complete the MPLS L3 VPN configuration and ensure the 172.16.10.0/24 static route within VRF Customer_A is advertised across the VPN, R1 must be configured to redistribute static routes into its BGP VRF address family.
Question
Refer to the exhibit. Customer_A asked ISP_A to connect two offices via an MPLS L3 VPN. Customer_A is currently using only the default route toward ISP_A. The engineer at ISP_A already configured the ip route vrf Customer_A 172.16.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1 command on R1. Which action completes the configuration?

Why each option
To complete the MPLS L3 VPN configuration and ensure the `172.16.10.0/24` static route within VRF `Customer_A` is advertised across the VPN, R1 must be configured to redistribute static routes into its BGP VRF address family.
The `redistribute static` command, configured under the BGP VRF address family on R1, will inject the explicitly defined `ip route vrf Customer_A 172.16.10.0` static route into BGP, allowing it to be propagated to other PE routers across the MPLS VPN. The `redistribute connected` command is also typically included to advertise directly connected subnets within the VRF.
`default-information originate` advertises a default route, not the specific static route `172.16.10.0/24`. `bgp default route-target filter` controls route target propagation, not route advertisement.
`route-target both 200:1` is part of VRF definition for import/export policies, but does not itself advertise routes. `route-replicate vrf` is not a standard Cisco IOS command for this purpose.
While a `network` command could advertise a directly connected route in the VRF, for a static route, `redistribute static` is the correct mechanism. `redistribute-internal static` is not the correct command syntax; it should simply be `redistribute static`.
