Question Image

If a device connected to PE-A in Metro A sends PE-A a frame that requires replication within the VPLS, to which devices is PE-A responsible for replicating the frame?

  • A PE-A must replicate the frame to all devices participating in the VPLS
  • B PE-A must replicate the frame to all PEs within Metro A
  • C PE-A must replicate the frame to all devices in the Metro A
  • D All of the above
Explanation

VPLS maintains a single bridged broadcast domain across all participating sites. The ingress PE floods a frame requiring replication to the other participants in that VPLS instance, including participants outside its local metro; replication is not restricted to Metro A.
