In this scenario, CE1 and CE2 need connectivity to the internet through the ISP connected to PE3. The most straightforward approach is to configure CE1 and CE2 with a static default route pointing to PE3 as the next-hop for internet-bound traffic. This ensures that any traffic destined for the internet will be routed directly to PE3, which is directly connected to the internet. Other options (A, B, and D) involve more complex configurations and are not necessary for this specific task. References: Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies source documents or study guide

LDP session protection capability is a feature that maintains LDP bindings when a link fails, using LDP Targeted Hellos to protect LDP sessions. Without the specific exhibit, it’s not possible to determine which router has LDP session protection enabled but session hold up is not active.

 The TTL security mechanism is used to protect a router from receiving BGP sessions that are not originated from the expected peer. It drops incoming TCP segments whose TTL value is not equal to or greater than the expected minimum value, thus helping in preventing DoS attacks that could be initiated from an unauthorized source pretending to be a legitimate BGP peer. References := Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies

A. Reconnect Timeout field: Specifies the time within which the LDP session should be reestablished after a failure.

C. Graceful restart capability in OPEN message: Indicates that the router supports LDP graceful restart and is capable of maintaining its MPLS forwarding state across a control plane failure.

D. Recovery Time field: Specifies the time that the router will maintain the MPLS forwarding state while it attempts to reestablish LDP sessions.

 The “show cef interface” command is used to display per-interface statistics about Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF) drops and suppressed drops. uRPF is a feature that helps to mitigate problems caused by IP address spoofing, and the “show cef interface” command provides detailed information on the interfaces where uRPF is applied, including drop statistics.

 A Virtual Network Function (VNF) role refers to a network function that is executed in software and can be deployed on a Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVI). A firewall serves as a VNF role because it performs network functions, such as filtering traffic and security management, in software form rather than as a physical device.

 In Cisco IOS XR, to send BGP IPv4 labels to build inter-domain Label Switched Paths (LSPs), the configuration command used is router bgp 65515 neighbor 172.16.70.23 address-family ipv4 labeled-unicast. This command specifies that the router should use the BGP labeled unicast address family for the specified neighbor, which enables the exchange of label information along with the IPv4 routing information, facilitating MPLS LSP creation for inter-domain traffic.

Area 10 should receive inter-area routes and support mutual redistribution with the extranet but not receive the default route (::/0). This requirement does not align with any of the stub or NSSA configurations, as these would restrict the type of routes received.

Area 11 should only receive the default route from the ABR and not support external route redistribution or advertise inter-area routes. Configuring Area 11 as an NSSA (Not So Stubby Area) with the no-summary option on R7 and as NSSA on XR31 would prevent inter-area routes from being advertised into Area 11. Additionally, the default-information-originate command on R7 would generate a default route into Area 11, fulfilling the requirement.

 mVPN (Multicast Virtual Private Network) is designed to support the efficient transport of multicast streams across a Layer 3 VPN. It enables service providers to use their existing MPLS networks to transport multicast traffic, allowing for scalable and manageable multicast delivery without requiring a separate network infrastructure. References: Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies

The weight parameter in BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is a Cisco-specific attribute that is local to the router on which it is configured. It is used to prefer one path over another when multiple paths to the same destination are available. The weight is not advertised to other routers, making it a local parameter.
