A file with commissioned GMRE nodes for NPA implementation
B.
A file of optical impairment parameters for power balance
C.
A file with target values that determine whether a given LSP can be routed
D.
A control checklist for the operator
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Explanation:
The Feasibility File is a file that contains a set of target values for various optical impairment parameters, such as OSNR, CD, PMD, and PDL, that are used to determine whether a given LSP can be routed through the GMRE network. The Feasibility File is generated by the Network Planning Application (NPA) based on the network design and the service requirements. The Feasibility File is then loaded into the GMRE nodes and used by the GMPLS routing engine to perform feasibility checks for LSP requests. The Feasibility File ensures that the LSPs are routed in accordance with the network plan and the optical performance criteria12. References:

Question 9
What category of protocols is used by the ingress router to set up a new LSP?
Options:
A.
Coloring protocols
B.
Signaling protocols
C.
Link management protocols
D.
Link aggregation protocols
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Explanation:
Signaling protocols are protocols that are used by the ingress router to set up a new LSP in an MPLS network. Signaling protocols are responsible for requesting, allocating, and releasing resources along the LSP, as well as establishing and maintaining the label bindings between the nodes. Some examples of signaling protocols are RSVP-TE, LDP, and CR-LDP34. References:

Question 10
Which of the following best describes the Soft Shutting Down state in the NFM-T?
Options:
A.
An automatic shutdown of a TE-link and all of the LSPs in the TE-link
B.
A soft synchronization state where new traffic is not allowed
C.
An administrative maintenance state where services stay up but no new traffic can be routed over the TE-link
D.
A transient state where current SNCs are soft-rerouted away from the TE-link
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Explanation:
The Soft Shutting Down state in the NFM-T is an administrative maintenance state where services stay up but no new traffic can be routed over the TE-link. This state is used to prepare a TE-link for maintenance or decommissioning without affecting the existing services. The NFM-T sets the TE-link to Soft Shutting Down state by sending a Notify message with the Administrative State Change flag to the head-end node of the TE-link. The head-end node then stops accepting new LSP requests over the TE-link and sends a PathErr message with the Administrative State Change flag to all the tail-end nodes of the LSPs in the TE-link. The tail-end nodes then stop sending new traffic over the LSPs and send a ResvErr message with the Administrative State Change flag to all the intermediate nodes of the LSPs. The intermediate nodes then update their routing tables and stop forwarding new traffic over the LSPs. The existing traffic, however, continues to flow over the LSPs until they are manually deleted or rerouted by the NFM-T.

Question 11
What is the Link Maintenance window?
Options:
A.
A centralized view of the TE-link for the operator
B.
A wizard with commands to set links and nodes to maintenance
C.
A wizard for modifying TE-link attributes
D.
A centralized alarm manager
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Explanation:
The Link Maintenance window is a feature of NFM-T that allows the user to perform maintenance tasks on links and nodes in a GMPLS network. The Link Maintenance window is a wizard that provides commands to set links and nodes to maintenance mode, which prevents them from being used for routing new LSPs or carrying traffic. The user can also use the Link Maintenance window to reroute existing LSPs away from the links and nodes that are in maintenance mode, either manually or automatically. The Link Maintenance window helps the user to perform network maintenance operations without disrupting the service availability or quality12. References:
