You have issued the following commands on RouterA:
Pseudowire-class boson
ip pmtu
RouterA receives a packet that is larger than the path MTU and that has a DF bit set to 0.
Which of the following will RouterA do? (Select 2 choices.)
- RouterA will forward the packet.
- RouterA will drop the packet.
- RouterA will return an ICMP unreachable message to the sender.
- RouterA will fragment the packet before L2TP/IP encapsulation occurs.
- RouterA will fragment the packet after L2TP/IP encapsulation has occurred.
Explanation:
When RouterA receives a packet that is larger than the path maximum transmission unit (MTU) and that has a Don’t Fragment (DF) bit set to 0, RouterA will fragment the packet before Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)/IP encapsulation has occurred and then forward the packet. The ip pmtu command enables path MTU discovery (PMTUD) so that fragmentation issues can be avoided on the service provider backbone.
With PMTUD, the DF bit is copied from the IP header to the Layer 2 encapsulation header. If an IP packet is larger than the MTU of any interface on the path, the packet is dropped or fragmented based on the DF bit. If the DF bit is set to 0, the packet is fragmented before encapsulation occurs and is then forwarded. If the DF bit is set to 1, the packet is dropped and the router will return an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) unreachable message to the sender.
