When a physical port is configured for null encapsulation, many SAPs can be configured using that port.

Full set: 288 questions
Answer options
A: TRUE
B: FALSE Correct answer
Correct Answer:
B. FALSE
Explanation

The statement is false. When a physical port is configured for null encapsulation, it means the port itself acts as the service demarcation point without any additional identifiers like VLAN tags. Because there is no encapsulation identifier to multiplex different services, the entire port is dedicated to a single service. Therefore, only one SAP can be configured on a port using null encapsulation. To configure multiple SAPs on a single physical port, an encapsulation type that provides multiplexing, such as Dot1q, must be used.

Why Incorrect

This is a True/False question. The statement is demonstrably false based on the definition of null encapsulation in the Nokia Service Router Operating System (SR OS).
