A network engineer is configuring RSVP-TE tunnels and needs to ensure that a specific tunnel can preempt lower-priority tunnels if bandwidth is scarce. The engineer has set the setup priority of the new tunnel to 0 and the holding priority to 0. What is the effect of this configuration?

The tunnel cannot preempt any other tunnel because the holding priority is also 0

The tunnel can be preempted by any tunnel with a numerically lower setup priority, and it cannot preempt any other tunnel

The tunnel can preempt any other tunnel with a numerically higher setup priority, and it can be preempted only by tunnels with a numerically lower setup priority

The tunnel has the same priority as all other tunnels, so preemption is determined by the order of setup

An engineer is troubleshooting an RSVP-TE tunnel that was established successfully but is now not carrying traffic. The tunnel shows as 'Up' in the head-end router's MPLS TE tunnel table. Which step should the engineer take to verify that the tunnel is actually forwarding traffic?

Check the label stack on the head-end router to ensure the tunnel label is present

Check the RSVP neighbor state on the head-end router to confirm the RSVP session is still active

Verify that the tail-end router has a route back to the head-end router

Verify that the tunnel interface is in the routing table and that traffic is being routed into the tunnel

What happens to traffic when a failure occurs on a protected TE LSP?

The PLR immediately switches traffic to the backup tunnel

The egress sends a ResvTear to tear down the LSP

The ingress re-computes a new path and signals it

Traffic is dropped until the IGP converges

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 23 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
