Two routers, R1 and R2, connect using an Ethernet over MPLS service. The service provides point-to-point service between these two routers only, as a Layer 2 Ethernet service. Which of the following are the most likely to be true about this WAN? (Choose two answers.)

Two routers, R1 and R2, connect using an Ethernet over MPLS service. The service provides point-to-point service between these two routers only, as a Layer 2 Ethernet service. Which of the following are the most likely to be true about this WAN? (Choose two answers.)

  • R1 will connect to a physical Ethernet link, with the other end of the cable connected to R2.
  • R1 will connect to a physical Ethernet link, with the other end of the cable connected to a device at the WAN service provider point of presence.
  • R1 will forward data-link frames to R2 using an HDLC header/trailer.
  • R1 will forward data-link frames to R2 using an Ethernet header/trailer.

Explanation: The physical installation uses a model in which each router uses a physical Ethernet link to connect to some SP device in an SP facility called a point of presence (PoP). The Ethernet link does not span from each customer device to the other. From a data-link perspective, both routers use the same Ethernet standard header and trailer used on LANs; HDLC does not matter on these Ethernet WAN links.
