14 important questions on Describe service provider network architectures - erp overview

A ring link is bound by two adjacent Ethernet ring nodes and a port for a ring link. What is this also known as?

a ring port

What two things are used to detect ring link and node failure? [CFM + LSM}

Connectivity Fault Management (CFM)
and line status messages

What protocol works for both unidirectional failure and multiple link failure scenarios in a ring topology? [E]

The Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP)

Discover Study Smart

What is an optional feature used to assure fast Fault Detection when:
  • PHY has no carrier signal (some copper PHYs, other transport systems)
  • Detecting "brain dead" node failures; traffic stoppage without PHY going down
? [C]

CCM

The G.8032 ERP protocol uses CFM CCMs at an interval of how many ms?

3.3 ms

What functionality includes:
  • Loop avoidance
  • The use of learning, forwarding, and Filtering Database (FDB) mechanisms

?

The Ethernet ring protection functionality

Loop avoidance in an Ethernet ring is achieved by ensuring that, at any time, traffic flows on all but the what? {R]

Ring Protection Link (RPL)

What RPL node type is responsible for blocking traffic over the RPL so that no loops are formed in the Ethernet traffic. There can be only one RPL owner in a ring, in a single instance (for example, specific VLANs)?

RPL owner:

What RPL node type is an Ethernet ring node adjacent to the RPL. It is responsible for blocking its end of the RPL under normal conditions. This node type is optional and prevents RPL usage when protected?

RPL neighbor node:

What RPL node type is an Ethernet ring node adjacent to an RPL owner node or RPL neighbor node. It is mainly used for FDB flush optimization on the ring. This node is also optional?

RPL next-neighbor node:

What G.8032 ring basic operator administrative command Allows the operator to manually block a particular ring port. Note the following points about MS commands?

Manual switch (MS):

What G.8032 ring basic operator administrative command cancels an existing FS or MS command on the ring port. The Clear command is used at the ring protection link (RPL) owner to clear a nonrevertive mode condition?

Clear:

A G.8032 ring can support multiple what?, which are logical ring running over a physical ring, which are used for various reasons, such as load-balancing VLANs over a ring?

Instances

Odd-numbered VLANs may go in one direction of the ring, and even-numbered VLANs may go in the other direction. This is an example of load-balancing VLANs over a ring with the help of what?

Instances

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
