Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology which multiplexes a number of optical carrier signals onto a single fiber [1], using different wavelengths of light to carry different signals. This allows for a greater capacity for data transfer and enables the addition of new wavelengths in a fiber-optic network

To secure REST APIs, a network administrator should ensure that user sessions are authenticated and that the appropriate privilege level is provided for each user. This means that each API request should come with authentication credentials, and the server should validate these credentials for every request. This approach helps to maintain the stateless nature of REST APIs and ensures that only authorized users can access or modify resources. References: Best practices for securing REST APIs include using HTTPS, token-based authentication, and proper validation of input parameters to prevent common security vulnerabilities.

The configuration snippet indicates a BGP setup where the neighbor 192.168.1.2 is defined, but not activated for the IPv4 address family. To complete the configuration and allow the exchange of IPv4 routes, the neighbor must be activated under the IPv4 address family. This is done by adding the command address-family ipv4 unicast followed by neighbor 192.168.1.2 activate in the BGP configuration mode.

The configuration in Option C correctly sets up the interfaces for VLAN tag translation. On interface GigabitEthernet2, the command rewrite ingress tag translate 1-to-1 dot1q 21 changes the incoming VLAN tag from 12 to 21. Conversely, on interface GigabitEthernet3, the command rewrite egress tag translate 1-to-1 dot1q 12 changes the outgoing VLAN tag from 21 to 12. This setup ensures that traffic flowing from R1 to R2 and vice versa has the correct VLAN tags as required.

 The router RA is configured with the command “ip pim ssm default”. This configuration enables Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) for the default range of 232.0.0.0/8, which is the IPv4 multicast address space reserved for SSM by IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority). In SSM, data traffic is delivered to a specific group of subscribers identified by the combination of both source and multicast addresses, enhancing efficiency and security. References: Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies

The OSPF neighbor relationship is not establishing due to a mismatch in MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) settings on the interfaces of PE-A and PE-B routers. On PE-A, there is no MTU configuration under the interface FastEthernet0/0, which means it is using the default MTU setting. However, on PE-B, the MTU is explicitly set to 1400 bytes with “ip mtu 1400” command under interface FastEthernet0/0. OSPF requires that both ends of a point-to-point link have matching MTU sizes to form a neighbor relationship; otherwise, OSPF adjacency will not be established.
