MPLS Interview Questions for CCNA and CCNP Engineers

AfterIGPandBGPquestions, I prepared basic list of MPLS interview

questions which could help you to clear your next level. In the up coming
post, I will be covering switching. Below is the list of questions:

1. What is the difference between VPN and MPLS?

2. What is MPLS and why it is being so popular in short time?
3. What is the protocol used by MPLS?
4. MPLS works on which layer?
5. What is the difference between P and PE router?
6. Can I make my PE router as P?
7. Two routers are having 4 equal cost links, how many ldp sessions will be
established?
8. My LDP router id,OSPFrouter id and BGP router id is different, will it
work to forward the traffic of customers or not?
9. What isPenultimate Hop Poppingand why it is required? Which router
performs the PHP function?
10.I am receiving aggregate label, what does it mean?
11. What are the different types of labels?
12. How to make customer route unique?
13. What is the difference between RD and RT?
14. Can I assign a same RD to two different customers?
15. Is RD travels in route update?
16. My customer is having three branches and all are attached to three
different PEs, In this case can I use the different vrf names?
17. What is downstream on demand?
18. How to filter MPLS labels?
19. What is the default range of MPLS labels in Cisco routers? How to extend
that range?
20. Without route reflector can I implement MPLS?
21.What is the difference between VPNv4 and IPv4 address family?
22. What is MPiBGP? Can we use normal BGP in lieu of MPiBGP?
23.What is LIB, LFIB?
24. What is CEF and without enabling CEF, can we make MPLS work?
25. I am receiving end to end customer routes on various PE but not able to
ping those routes, whats could be the problem?
26. What is explicit null and implicit null?
27. Default timers of LDP?
28. Does LDP require OSPF, ISIS or BGP?
29. In neighbor discovery command, I am receiving only xmit, what does it
mean?
30. What is transport address?
31. What is the RFC of MPLS?
32. Why MPLS is called multi protocol?
33. What is the difference between MPLS, SSL and IPSec?
34. I am using different vendor products and want to implement TDP, what
type of challenges will you face?
35. Does MPLS support IPv6?
