Refer to the exhibit. R1 and R3 have a pseudowire connection between them, which allows R2 and R4 to communicate via Layer 2. R2 uses VLAN 10. R4 also uses VLAN 10, but with a different subnet…
The correct answer is A. interface TenGigE0/0/0/0.1 I2transport. To rewrite the VLAN ID for Layer 2 traffic traversing a pseudowire on R3, the engineer must configure a specific sub-interface in l2transport mode, which allows for VLAN tag manipulation.
Question
Refer to the exhibit. R1 and R3 have a pseudowire connection between them, which allows R2 and R4 to communicate via Layer 2. R2 uses VLAN 10. R4 also uses VLAN 10, but with a different subnet associated. Which configuration should the engineer apply to R3 to rewrite the VLAN on traffic from R2 to VLAN 15?

Why each option
To rewrite the VLAN ID for Layer 2 traffic traversing a pseudowire on R3, the engineer must configure a specific sub-interface in `l2transport` mode, which allows for VLAN tag manipulation.
The `interface TenGigE0/0/0/0.1 l2transport` command configures a specific sub-interface on R3 as a Layer 2 transport interface, enabling it to participate in a pseudowire and perform Layer 2 functions like VLAN rewriting. Within this sub-interface's configuration, additional commands (e.g., `encapsulation dot1q 10` and `rewrite ingress tag translate 1-to-1 10 new-tag 15`) would be applied to specifically change VLAN 10 to VLAN 15 for traffic originating from R2, allowing R4 to receive the traffic on the desired VLAN.
Using sub-interface `.2` instead of `.1` would imply that the traffic from R2 is expected on sub-interface `.2` rather than `.1`, which would likely conflict with the designated service path or configuration for the required VLAN rewrite.
This choice is identical to option A, which suggests a redundancy or error in the provided choices. Assuming A is the designated correct answer, this option would also be technically correct if it were the intended choice.
Using sub-interface `.2` with the typo "12transport" instead of "l2transport" makes this option both technically incorrect in interface choice and syntactically invalid for Cisco IOS XR configuration.
