Understanding the IS-IS Network and IPv6 Route Summary Behavior

IS-IS Areas and Router Roles:

Area 49.0001 (Level-1-2): R1, R2, R4

Area 49.0002 (Level-1-2 & Level-1): R3 (Level-1-2), R5 (Level-1 only)

Effect of ipv6 summary 2000::/64 level-1-2 Command on R4

Route summarization in IS-IS allows an L1-L2 router (R4) to aggregate IPv6 prefixes and advertise a summary route (2000::/64) into both Level-1 and Level-2 areas.

This means R4 will advertise only 2000::/64 instead of specific /128 routes (like 2000::4/128).

All Level-1 and Level-2 routers connected to R4 will receive the summary route 2000::/64 instead of the detailed /128 routes.

Route Distribution Analysis for Each Statement

A. The routing table of R1 contains the route 2000::4/128. ✅ (True)

R1 is a Level-1-2 router in the same area (49.0001) as R4, so it receives both the summarized 2000::/64 route and the more specific 2000::4/128 route.

Since R1 is directly connected to R4, it can still learn the 2000::4/128 route.

✅ Statement A is true.

B. The routing table of R3 contains the route 2000::/64. ✅ (True)

R3 is a Level-1-2 router, meaning it can receive both Level-1 and Level-2 routes.

Since R4 (a Level-1-2 router) advertises the summarized 2000::/64 route into both levels, R3 will receive 2000::/64 in its routing table.

✅ Statement B is true.

C. The routing table of R2 contains the route 2000::/64. ✅ (True)

R2 is a Level-1-2 router in the same area as R4, meaning it receives the summarized 2000::/64 route.

This is expected behavior since R4 advertises the summary route into both Level-1 and Level-2 areas.

✅ Statement C is true.

D. The routing table of R5 does not contain the route 2000::/64. ❌ (False - Correct Answer)

R5 is a Level-1 router, meaning it can only receive Level-1 routes unless a default route is provided.

Since R3 (a Level-1-2 router) learns 2000::/64, it can propagate it into the Level-1 area (49.0002).

This means R5 will receive the summary route 2000::/64 from R3.

Thus, R5 does contain 2000::/64, making this statement false.

❌ Statement D is false (correct answer).

Final Conclusion:

✅ A. The routing table of R1 contains the route 2000::4/128. (True)✅ B. The routing table of R3 contains the route 2000::/64. (True)✅ C. The routing table of R2 contains the route 2000::/64. (True)❌ D. The routing table of R5 does not contain the route 2000::/64. (False - Correct Answer)

Thus, the correct answer is: D. The routing table of R5 does not contain the route 2000::/64 (False Statement).

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

1. Understanding DHCP Snooping

DHCP Snooping is a security feature that filters untrusted DHCP messages to prevent attacks such as:

Rogue DHCP servers distributing incorrect IP addresses.

DHCP starvation attacks.

In DHCP Snooping, switch ports are classified as:

Trusted Interfaces: Allow both DHCP requests and DHCP responses to pass through.

Untrusted Interfaces: Allow only DHCP requests but drop DHCP responses (to prevent rogue DHCP servers).

2. Analyzing Each Answer Option

Option A: "When receiving a DHCP response packet on GE0/0/2, the switch forwards the packet through GE0/0/1."

Correct.

GE0/0/2 is a trusted interface (connected to the DHCP server).

DHCP responses (ACK, NAK, OFFER) come from the DHCP Server.

Since DHCP responses are allowed on trusted interfaces, the switch forwards them to the client (PC1) via GE0/0/1.

Option B: "When receiving a DHCP request packet on GE0/0/2, the switch forwards the packet through GE0/0/3."

Incorrect.

DHCP requests originate from clients (PC1, attackers, etc.), not from the DHCP server.

The DHCP request should be forwarded to the DHCP server via a trusted interface (not GE0/0/3, which is untrusted).

Option C: "When receiving a DHCP response packet on GE0/0/3, the switch forwards the packet through GE0/0/1."

Incorrect.

GE0/0/3 is an untrusted interface (connected to the attacker).

DHCP responses (ACK, OFFER) from untrusted interfaces are dropped to prevent rogue DHCP attacks.

The switch will not forward the packet.

Option D: "When receiving a DHCP request packet on GE0/0/3, the switch forwards the packet through GE0/0/2."

Correct.

DHCP requests originate from clients (PC1 or attacker).

Since DHCP requests are allowed on untrusted interfaces, the switch forwards them to the DHCP server via the trusted interface (GE0/0/2).

Final Answer:

✅ A and D are correct.

DHCP Snooping and Port Trust Classification

How Trusted and Untrusted Ports Handle DHCP Packets

Preventing Rogue DHCP Servers Using DHCP Snooping

Restrict → Discards the packets that trigger static MAC address flapping and reports an alarm.

Protect → Discards the packets that trigger static MAC address flapping only and does not report an alarm.

Shutdown → Sets the interface state to error-down and reports an alarm.

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

1. Understanding Port Security Modes

Port security is used to control access on a switch port based on MAC addresses. If a MAC address violation occurs (e.g., static MAC address flapping), the switch can take different actions based on the configured security mode.

Security Mode

Description

Restrict

Drops the violating packets and logs the violation by generating an alarm.

Protect

Drops the violating packets but does not generate an alarm.

Shutdown

Places the interface into error-disabled (error-down) state and logs an alarm.

2. Matching Each Security Mode with Its Operation

Protect Mode:

The switch drops the packets from the unauthorized MAC address.

No alarm is generated or logged.

Correct Mapping: "Discards the packets that trigger static MAC address flapping only and does not report an alarm."

Restrict Mode:

The switch drops the packets from the unauthorized MAC address.

An alarm is generated and logged in the system.

Correct Mapping: "Discards the packets that trigger static MAC address flapping and reports an alarm."

Shutdown Mode:

The switch shuts down the interface by placing it into the error-down state.

An alarm is generated and logged.

Correct Mapping: "Sets the interface state to error-down and reports an alarm."
