Which of the following statements about SR Linux interfaces is FALSE?
Answer : C
The loopback interface in SR Linux is a logical, virtual interface used for management and routing purposes; it is not a physical interface directly connected to another interface on the same chassis.
Which of the following statements about the data center's leaf-spine topology (clos network) is FALSE?
Answer : C
The leaf-spine (Clos) topology does not use the spanning tree protocol because it relies on equal-cost multipath (ECMP) routing to prevent loops and efficiently utilize all available paths. Spanning tree is typically avoided in modern data center fabrics to enable full bandwidth utilization.
Which of the following statements about using BFD with BGP is FALSE?
Answer : D
BFD helps detect link failures rapidly and notifies BGP to trigger route updates quickly, but it does not speed up the BGP advertisement interval itself. BGP advertisement intervals are controlled by BGP timers, not by BFD.
A static route is configured in two steps in Nokia's SR Linux. Which of the following items CANNOT be configured in the static-routes container?
Answer : A
The static-routes container in Nokia SR Linux does not support configuring a blackhole route directly; it is used to configure destination prefixes, preference values, and next-hop groups for static routing.
Which of the following statements about the YANG model used in Nokia's SR Linux is FALSE?
Answer : B
In YANG models, 'leafs' are the data nodes (not branches), and 'containers' group related data nodes. The statement incorrectly reverses their roles by calling leafs branches and containers data components.
Which of the following statements about next-hop groups is TRUE?
Answer : B
Multiple static routes can share the same next-hop group, enabling efficient reuse of next-hop definitions for load balancing or redundancy.
How does Nokia's Fabric Services System use a fabric intent to build the DC switch fabric?
Answer : A
Nokia's Fabric Services System uses a fabric intent defined in a declarative YAML file to specify the desired state of the data center fabric, which is then used to build and configure the fabric accordingly.
