Understanding Port Isolation in the Network

Network Setup Details:

The switch is Layer 3, with VLANIF10 configured as 10.1.1.1/24 (gateway for all PCs).

All PCs are in VLAN 10 and use 10.1.1.1 as the default gateway.

Port isolation is enabled on switch interfaces, dividing them into two groups:

Group 1 (PC1 & PC2): GigabitEthernet0/0/1 and GigabitEthernet0/0/2

Group 2 (PC3 & PC4): GigabitEthernet0/0/3 and GigabitEthernet0/0/4

Port Isolation Behavior:

Ports within the same isolation group CAN communicate with each other.

Ports from different isolation groups CANNOT communicate directly.

All devices CAN still communicate with the L3 switch (10.1.1.1), which acts as the gateway.

Which IPs Cannot be Pinged from PC1?

PC3 (10.1.1.4) and PC4 (10.1.1.5) are in a different isolation group (Group 2), so PC1 cannot reach them directly.

PC2 (10.1.1.3) is in the same isolation group (Group 1), so PC1 can ping it.

PC1 can ping the gateway (10.1.1.1) because the switch is Layer 3 and forwards traffic.

Thus, the correct answers are: A. 10.1.1.3 and D. 10.1.1.4.

Final Conclusion:

✅ PC1 CAN ping:

10.1.1.3 (PC2, same isolation group)

10.1.1.1 (Gateway, L3 Switch)

❌ PC1 CANNOT ping:

10.1.1.4 (PC3, different isolation group)

10.1.1.5 (PC4, different isolation group)

Thus, the correct answer is: A. 10.1.1.3 and D. 10.1.1.4.

Step 1: Understanding OSPF Areas and Summarization

Loopback0 on R5 has IP 10.0.5.5/32 and is advertised into OSPF.

The abr-summary 10.0.5.0 255.255.255.0 command is applied in area 2 on R1, which means:

Instead of advertising individual host routes (like 10.0.5.5/32), R1 advertises the summarized route 10.0.5.0/24 into Area 0 (Backbone).

This summarized route is then propagated into other areas via Area 0 (Backbone).

Step 2: Analyzing the Routing Table of Each Router

R5 (Originating Router in Area 2)

R5 only knows 10.0.5.5/32 because it's the originating router.

The abr-summary command does not affect R5 itself.

❌ R5 does not have 10.0.5.0/24.

R1 (ABR for Area 2, Summarizing the Route)

R1 creates and advertises 10.0.5.0/24 into Area 0.

This summary route is sent to other areas via Area 0.

R2 (Connected to Area 0 & Area 1)

Since R2 is part of Area 0 (Backbone), it receives 10.0.5.0/24 from R1.

✅ R2 has 10.0.5.0/24 in its routing table.

R3 (Connected to Area 0 & Area 2)

Since R3 is also connected to Area 0, it receives the summary route 10.0.5.0/24 from R1.

✅ R3 has 10.0.5.0/24 in its routing table.

R4 (In Area 1, which is not directly connected to Area 2)

R4 belongs to Area 1, and unless explicitly advertised through inter-area summarization, it will not have 10.0.5.0/24.

Since no specific mention of summary advertisement into Area 1 is made, R4 does not get 10.0.5.0/24.

❌ R4 does not have 10.0.5.0/24.

Final Answer: ✅ R2, R3 (Option B, C)

1. Understanding the DIS (Designated Intermediate System) in IS-IS

In IS-IS, the DIS (Designated Intermediate System) is similar to the DR (Designated Router) in OSPF.

Unlike OSPF, IS-IS does not use an election based on priority; instead, the router with the highest priority becomes the DIS.

If there is a tie in priority, the router with the highest MAC address on the interface becomes the DIS.

The DIS is responsible for generating additional LSPs (pseudonode LSPs) for the link and synchronizing the database between routers.

2. How to Identify If the Router Is the DIS from the LSP

In the given LSP output, there are NO pseudonode LSPs (LSPs ending with .01).

The DIS is responsible for creating pseudonode LSPs, which represent a multi-access network in the IS-IS topology.

If the router were the DIS, it would generate both its own LSP (ending in .00) and a pseudonode LSP (ending in .01).

Since we only see an LSP ending in .00, this confirms that the router is NOT the DIS.

3. Evaluating the Answer Choices

Option A (TRUE) – Correct:

Since no pseudonode LSP is present, the router is not the DIS.

This confirms that the statement is TRUE.

Option B (FALSE) – Incorrect:

If the router were the DIS, it would generate pseudonode LSPs, but they are missing from the output.

Therefore, the statement is NOT false.

Final Answer:

Answer: A (TRUE)

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:This question involves a complex network topology with IS-IS, iBGP, and route reflection, requiring an understanding of routing protocols, area boundaries, and route distribution. Let’s analyze each statement step-by-step to determine which is true, based on HCIP-Datacom principles.

Network Overview:

IS-IS Configuration:

IS-IS runs on R1, R2, R4, and R5 in area 49.0001 (Level-1/Level-2).

IS-IS runs on R3 and R6 in area 49.0002 (Level-2 only, as implied by the figure).

The import-route isis level-2 into level-1 command on R2 and R5 allows Level-2 routes (from area 49.0002) to be injected into Level-1 routers (R1, R4) in area 49.0001.

BGP Configuration:

AS 65000 uses iBGP with R2 and R5 as Route Reflectors (RRs), and R1, R3, R4, and R6 as clients.

iBGP peer relationships use IP addresses 10.0.0.X/32, where X is the router number (e.g., R1 = 10.0.0.1/32, R4 = 10.0.0.4/32, etc.).

R1 and R4 import the external route 192.168.1.0/24 into BGP using import-route.

R3 and R6 import the external route 192.168.2.0/24 into BGP using import-route.

Topology Insights:

The figure shows R2 and R5 as central hubs connecting Level-1/Level-2 IS-IS areas and serving as RRs for iBGP.

R1 and R4 are in area 49.0001 (Level-1/Level-2), while R3 and R6 are in area 49.0002 (Level-2).

External routes (192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24) are injected into BGP and distributed via iBGP.

Analyzing Each Statement:

A. The routing table of R4 contains two equal-cost default routes.

Analysis:

In IS-IS, default routes (0.0.0.0/0) are typically generated by Level-2 routers and propagated to Level-1 routers if configured (e.g., via default-route-advertise).

R4 is a Level-1/Level-2 router in area 49.0001. It can learn default routes from R2 or R5 (Level-2 routers) if they advertise a default route.

However, the question does not indicate that R2 or R5 are configured to advertise default routes, nor does it specify equal-cost paths to a default route.

Given the import-route isis level-2 into level-1 on R2 and R5, Level-2 routes (including defaults, if any) are injected into Level-1, but there’s no evidence of two equal-cost default routes in R4’s routing table.

Additionally, IS-IS prefers the closest Level-2 router for default routes, and the topology suggests a single path (e.g., via R2 or R5), not two equal-cost paths.

Conclusion: This statement is false.

B. The route 192.168.2.0/24 in the routing table of R4 has two different outbound interfaces.

Analysis:

The route 192.168.2.0/24 is an external route imported into BGP by R3 and R6 (in area 49.0002) using import-route.

As RRs, R2 and R5 reflect this route to their iBGP clients, including R4 (in area 49.0001).

However, iBGP routes do not modify the next-hop by default unless next-hop-self is configured on the RR. The next-hop for 192.168.2.0/24 from R3/R6 would typically point to R3 or R6, not R2 or R5, unless modified.

R4, as an iBGP client, receives the route but needs an IGP (IS-IS) path to the next-hop (R3 or R6).

The import-route isis level-2 into level-1 on R2 and R5 allows R4 to learn IS-IS routes from area 49.0002, but the question does not indicate multiple equal-cost paths to R3 or R6 from R4.

In IS-IS, unless explicitly configured for equal-cost multipath (ECMP) with the same cost to R3 and R6, R4 would use a single outbound interface to reach 192.168.2.0/24.

The topology suggests a single path (e.g., via R2 or R5) to area 49.0002, not two equal-cost outbound interfaces.

Conclusion: This statement is false.

C. The routing table of R1 contains two equal-cost default routes.

Analysis:

Similar to R4, R1 is a Level-1/Level-2 router in area 49.0001. It can learn default routes from R2 or R5 if they advertise them.

The question does not specify that R2 or R5 are configured to advertise default routes, nor does it indicate multiple equal-cost paths to a default route.

IS-IS prefers the closest Level-2 router for default routes, and the topology (with R2 and R5 as central hubs) suggests a single path, not two equal-cost paths.

Without evidence of ECMP or specific default route configuration, R1 would not have two equal-cost default routes.

Conclusion: This statement is false.

D. The routing table of R1 contains the route 192.168.2.0/24.

Analysis:

The route 192.168.2.0/24 is an external route imported into BGP by R3 and R6 (in area 49.0002) using import-route.

R2 and R5, as Route Reflectors, reflect this iBGP route to their clients, including R1 (in area 49.0001).

iBGP ensures that the route is propagated within AS 65000, so R1, as an iBGP client of R2 and R5, will receive the 192.168.2.0/24 route.

For R1 to install this route in its routing table, it needs a valid IGP (IS-IS) path to the next-hop of the BGP route (likely R3 or R6).

The import-route isis level-2 into level-1 on R2 and R5 ensures that IS-IS Level-2 routes from area 49.0002 (including paths to R3 and R6) are injected into Level-1 routers like R1.

Therefore, R1 can resolve the next-hop for 192.168.2.0/24 via IS-IS and install the route in its routing table.

Conclusion: This statement is true.

Final Answer and Rationale:

The only true statement is D, as R1, being an iBGP client of R2 and R5, will receive and install the 192.168.2.0/24 route in its routing table, with IS-IS providing the necessary path to the next-hop.

Understanding Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA (Type 9) in OSPFv3

OSPFv3 uses the Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA (Type 9) to advertise IPv6 prefixes associated with either:

A Router-LSA (Type 1) → Describes links and interfaces.

A Network-LSA (Type 2) → Advertises multi-access networks (if a Designated Router exists).

Each router generates one Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA to advertise its own IPv6 prefixes.

Prefix Analysis for Each Router

R1's IPv6 Prefixes:

2000:12::1/64

2001:12::1/64

2002:12::1/64

2003:12::/64 (Shared link with R2)

Total Prefixes in R1’s Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA = 4

✅ R1 advertises four prefixes in its Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA.

R2's IPv6 Prefixes:

2003:12::2/64 (Shared link with R1)

Total Prefixes in R2’s Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA = 1

✅ R2 advertises only one prefix in its Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA.

Checking Each Option:

✅ A. The Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA generated by R2 describes three prefixes. (❌ False, R2 only has one prefix).

✅ B. The Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA generated by R1 describes four prefixes. (✔ True, R1 has four prefixes).

✅ C. The Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA generated by R2 describes four prefixes. (❌ False, R2 only has one prefix).

✅ D. The Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA generated by R1 describes three prefixes. (❌ False, R1 has four prefixes).

Final Conclusion:

✅ B. The Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA generated by R1 describes four prefixes.

Thus, the correct answer is: B. The Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA generated by R1 describes four prefixes.

Understanding the IS-IS Network and IPv6 Route Summary Behavior

IS-IS Areas and Router Roles:

Area 49.0001 (Level-1-2): R1, R2, R4

Area 49.0002 (Level-1-2 & Level-1): R3 (Level-1-2), R5 (Level-1 only)

Effect of ipv6 summary 2000::/64 level-2 Command

This command on R1 and R2 summarizes the 2000::/64 prefix for Level-2 routers.

Instead of advertising the detailed 2000::4/128 prefix, R1 and R2 advertise only the summarized 2000::/64 route to other Level-2 routers.

Effect of ipv6 import-route isis level-2 into level-1 Command

This command allows Level-1 routers (like R3) to learn Level-2 routes (like 2000::/64).

R1 and R2 redistribute the 2000::/64 summary route into Level-1 IS-IS areas, making it available to Level-1 routers.

Route Distribution Analysis for Each Router

R4 (Does Not Have 2000::/64) ❌

R4 only advertises its Loopback0 (2000::4/128).

It does not need to install the summarized 2000::/64 route, as it originates from its own loopback.

✅ R4 does NOT have the 2000::/64 route.

R5 (Does Not Have 2000::/64) ❌

R5 is a Level-1-only router in Area 49.0002.

It does not have a Level-2 connection to learn the summarized 2000::/64 route.

Because R5 is Level-1 only, it can only receive routes if a default route is provided, which is not mentioned in the question.

✅ R5 does NOT have the 2000::/64 route.

R3 (Has 2000::/64) ✅

R3 is a Level-1-2 router, meaning it can learn both Level-1 and Level-2 routes.

Since R1 and R2 advertise the summarized 2000::/64 route into Level-2 and R3 has ipv6 import-route isis level-2 into level-1, R3 will install 2000::/64 in its routing table.

✅ R3 has the 2000::/64 route.

R2 (Has 2000::/64) ✅

R2 is a Level-1-2 router and has the ipv6 summary 2000::/64 level-2 command enabled.

This means R2 advertises the summarized 2000::/64 route to other Level-2 routers and installs it in its own routing table.

✅ R2 has the 2000::/64 route.

Final Conclusion:

✅ R3 has the route 2000::/64.✅ R2 has the route 2000::/64.❌ R4 does NOT have the route 2000::/64.❌ R5 does NOT have the route 2000::/64.

Thus, the correct answers are: C. R3, D. R2.
