Understanding the Exhibit and the Problem Statement

The diagram shows a Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) setup where multiple customers (Customer A, B, and C) are connected across a service provider network using PE (Provider Edge) routers.

PE1 and PE2 exchange VPN routes for all customers using BGP/MPLS Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) routing.

The question asks how to verify if PE2 is receiving VPN routes for Customer C.

Evaluating the Answer Choices

✅ B. show route table bgp.l3vpn.0 (Correct Answer)

Why?

This command shows all VPN routes stored in the BGP Layer 3 VPN table (bgp.l3vpn.0).

Since PE routers exchange VPN routes using MP-BGP, this table contains the VPN-IPv4 or VPN-IPv6 routes for all customers.

If PE2 is receiving routes from PE1 for Customer C, they will appear in bgp.l3vpn.0.

❌ A. show route table inet.0 (Incorrect)

Why?

The inet.0 table contains global unicast routes for the service provider's network.

VPN routes do not appear here because they are stored in VRF-specific tables.

This command won’t help verify VPN route exchange between PE1 and PE2.

❌ C. show route table customer-c.inet.0 (Incorrect)

Why?

The table customer-c.inet.0 represents the VRF routing table for Customer C on the local PE.

It only shows locally installed routes for Customer C but does not confirm if PE2 is receiving routes from PE1.

This command is useful to check local VPN routing but not BGP route propagation.

❌ D. show route summary (Incorrect)

Why?

This command only provides a summary of route counts per protocol (BGP, OSPF, etc.).

It does not display specific VPN routes.

It is useful for general troubleshooting but doesn’t confirm VPN route receipt.

Final Answer: ✅ show route table bgp.l3vpn.0 (Option B)
