A network architect is comparing segment routing traffic engineering (SR-TE) with RSVP-TE for a new MPLS core. The primary requirement is to reduce the number of protocols in the network while still providing explicit path control. Which advantage of SR-TE directly addresses this requirement?

SR-TE uses the IGP to distribute labels, eliminating the need for RSVP and LDP

SR-TE requires a centralized controller for all path computations

SR-TE uses BGP to distribute labels, eliminating the need for the IGP

SR-TE provides per-flow reservation of bandwidth, unlike RSVP-TE

A service provider wants to steer traffic along paths that minimize latency for a specific class of traffic, while other traffic uses the default IGP metric. The network is running segment routing with IS-IS. Which feature should be used to define a custom path computation based on latency?

BGP-LS with a latency-based attribute

SR-TE with an explicit path using adjacency segments

TI-LFA with a latency-based backup path

Flexible algorithm with a latency-based metric type

In an SRv6 interworking scenario, what does the gateway typically do with packets from a non-SRv6 network destined to an SRv6 network?

It forwards the packets without any modification

It encapsulates the packets with an SRv6 header

It translates the packets to MPLS

What is an SRv6 locator?

A MAC address for segment routing

An IPv6 prefix that identifies a node or a set of nodes

What is the role of OSPF-TE in a segment routing network?

To distribute link-state topology information

To carry traffic engineering link attributes such as bandwidth and delay

Part of the MPLS and Segment Routing domain, which accounts for 20% of the 350-501 exam. Cisco does not publish an official question count, but from its 120-minute exam (~50–80 total, ~10–16 in this domain), expect 3–5 from this objective — we provide 35 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
