QuestionQ95

VPLS Features

To reduce flooding of frames with unknown destination MAC addresses within the service provider network, how should the local and remote age timers be configured relative to one another?

  • A Local age timer = Remote age timer
  • B Local age timer > Remote age timer
  • C Local age timer < Remote age timer
  • D The age timer does not influence the flooding of traffic
Explanation

The remote age timer should be longer than the local age timer so remotely learned MAC entries remain in the forwarding database longer, reducing unknown-destination MAC flooding. Thus, the local age timer is less than the remote age timer.
