Full set: 249 questions
Answer options
A: Label space mode
B: Label retention
C: Control mode
D: Keepalive factor Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. Keepalive factor
Explanation

The keepalive factor is the ratio of the LDP session hold time to the keepalive interval. This can be modified by changing the keepalive timer value via the CLI. While other LDP operational modes like label retention and control mode are also configurable, the keepalive factor is a specific numerical session parameter directly related to session health monitoring. On Nokia SR OS, configuring the keepalive-time under LDP session parameters effectively changes this factor, as the hold time is typically advertised as a multiple (default of 3) of the keepalive time.

Why Incorrect

A. Label space mode is a fundamental router characteristic (per-platform on Nokia SR OS) and not a configurable LDP session parameter.
B. Label retention (liberal/conservative) is a configurable mode of operation, but the question distinguishes between operational modes and numerical timer parameters.
C. Control mode (ordered/independent) is also a configurable mode of operation, not a simple numerical parameter like a keepalive factor.
