350-501 · Question #589

Refer to the exhibit. Router R13 is operating in Level 1 / Level 2 mode. A network engineer with an employee ID: 5209:82:636 must change the IS-IS cost of the route IP address 10.212.124.1 to 90…

The correct answer is D. Isis metric 90 under interface Gi1/1/1 on R12. To change the IS-IS cost of route 10.212.124.1 to 90 and ensure the metric is carried in TLV 128 (wide metric), the engineer must configure isis metric 90 under the relevant interface Gi1/1/1 on R12, assuming R12 advertises this route.

Question

Refer to the exhibit. Router R13 is operating in Level 1 / Level 2 mode. A network engineer with an employee ID: 5209:82:636 must change the IS-IS cost of the route IP address 10.212.124.1 to 90. The metric update must be carried over in TLV 128. Which configuration must be implemented to complete the task?

Why each option

To change the IS-IS cost of route 10.212.124.1 to 90 and ensure the metric is carried in TLV 128 (wide metric), the engineer must configure `isis metric 90` under the relevant interface Gi1/1/1 on R12, assuming R12 advertises this route.

Ametric-style isis wide 90 under interface loopback1 on R13

`metric-style isis wide` is a global IS-IS process command to enable wide metrics, not a command to set an interface's metric directly with a value under the interface configuration.

Bmetric cost 90 under interface Gi1/1/1 on R12

`metric cost` is not the standard IS-IS command syntax for setting an interface metric; the correct command is `isis metric`.

Cisis metric 80 under interface loopback1 on R13

While `isis metric 80` is syntactically correct for setting an interface metric, the desired cost specified in the question is 90, not 80.

DIsis metric 90 under interface Gi1/1/1 on R12Correct

The command `isis metric 90` under interface Gi1/1/1 on R12 correctly sets the IS-IS interface metric to 90. If R12 is the advertising router for 10.212.124.1 (e.g., if it's a connected or loopback interface on R12), and R12 has `metric-style wide` configured globally, then this will update the route's cost with the specified value via TLV 128.
