Nokia Updated 4A0-100 Exam Questions and Answers by zayden

VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service)is aLayer 2 VPN servicethat emulates abridged Ethernet LANacross an MPLS/IP network.

Learns MAC addresses dynamically from:

SAPs (Service Access Points)

SDPs (Service Distribution Points)

Maintains aForwarding Database (FDB)per VPLS instance.

For unknown MAC destinations, a VPLSfloods the frameto all other sites – just like a regular Ethernet switch.

Option C is FALSE– VPLSdoes NOT discard unknown MACs; itfloodsthem.

AVPRN (Virtual Private Routed Network)provides aLayer 3 VPN serviceover a service provider’s network.

Each customer site connects to aPE router.

Sites are connected via arouted networkusingseparate routing instances.

Customer routers seerouted connectivity, as if connected to their own private WAN.

Option C is correct– VPRN providesrouted connectivitybetween sites.

In Nokia SR OS:

Aphysical interfacerefers to a physical port on the router (e.g., port 1/1/1).

It can be configured withIP addresses, associated with services (e.g., IES, VPRN), and connects to other routers or customer devices.

Systemandloopbackinterfaces arelogical interfaces, not physical.

Option D is FALSE, because a physical interfacecannotbe of type "system" or "loopback" — those arevirtual/logicalinterfaces in the Nokia router architecture.

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)is aLink-State protocolthat uses:

Cost (based on bandwidth)as its metric.

Dijkstra’s algorithmto compute shortest path trees.

Supportshierarchical routing with areas(e.g., Area 0 as backbone).

Routers exchangeLSAs, not full routing tables.

Option D is FALSE– OSPF doesnot use hop-count. That’s aRIP (Distance Vector)feature.
