400-007 · Question #195

Which two statements explain the operation of BFD asynchronous mode? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is B. BFD asynchronous mode with and without echo packets use control packets C. BFD asynchronous mode with echo packets combines the control packets and echo packets into. BFD asynchronous mode operates differently depending on whether the echo function is enabled or disabled. Both variants still rely on BFD control packets as the underlying mechanism.

Question

Which two statements explain the operation of BFD asynchronous mode? (Choose two.)

Options

  • ABFD asynchronous mode with echo packets uses separate control packets and echo packets
  • BBFD asynchronous mode with and without echo packets use control packets
  • CBFD asynchronous mode with echo packets combines the control packets and echo packets into
  • DBFD asynchronous without echo packets has control packets sent back to the originating router,
  • EBFD asynchronous mode without echo packets uses control packets, and BFD asynchronous

Why each option

BFD asynchronous mode operates differently depending on whether the echo function is enabled or disabled. Both variants still rely on BFD control packets as the underlying mechanism.

ABFD asynchronous mode with echo packets uses separate control packets and echo packets

BFD with echo does not use fully independent, parallel streams of control and echo packets - the echo function reduces the frequency of control packets rather than running a completely separate control packet channel alongside echo packets.

BBFD asynchronous mode with and without echo packets use control packetsCorrect

Both BFD asynchronous mode with echo packets and without echo packets fundamentally rely on control packets for session establishment and maintenance, making control packets common to both operational modes.

CBFD asynchronous mode with echo packets combines the control packets and echo packets intoCorrect

BFD asynchronous mode with echo packets integrates the forwarding-path verification into the echo packet stream while still leveraging control packets, effectively combining the roles so that a single packet flow tests the complete path.

DBFD asynchronous without echo packets has control packets sent back to the originating router,

Without echo, BFD control packets are exchanged between both endpoints; the originating router does not simply receive its own packets back - that loopback behavior is specific to the echo function.

EBFD asynchronous mode without echo packets uses control packets, and BFD asynchronous

This answer is incomplete as presented and does not accurately distinguish the operational difference between the two modes in a technically precise way.

Concept tested: BFD asynchronous mode with and without echo
