Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) — Question 67

You are creating new Cisco MPLS TE tunnels. Which type of RSVP message does the headend router send to reserve bandwidth on the path to the tailend router?

Answer options

• A. path
• B. tear
• C. error
• D. reservation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, 'path', because the headend router sends a Path message to initiate the reservation of bandwidth along the tunnel. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they refer to different functions: 'tear' is used to release resources, 'error' conveys problems in the RSVP process, and 'reservation' is not a specific RSVP message type.
