A: sap 1/1/1
B: sap 1/1/1:5
C: sap 1/1/1:5:5
D: sap 1/1/1:10.100 Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. sap 1/1/1:10.100
Explanation

In Nokia's Service Router Operating System (SR OS), the syntax for a Service Access Point (SAP) identifier reflects the port's encapsulation type. For Q-in-Q encapsulation (IEEE 802.1ad), which uses two VLAN tags (an outer S-TAG and an inner C-TAG), the SAP is identified using a dot notation. The format is port-id:outer-tag.inner-tag. Therefore, sap 1/1/1:10.100 correctly represents a Q-in-Q SAP on port 1/1/1 with an outer VLAN tag of 10 and an inner VLAN tag of 100.

Why Incorrect

A. sap 1/1/1 represents a port-based SAP, which typically uses null encapsulation (accepting untagged traffic).
B. sap 1/1/1:5 represents a standard Dot1q SAP, which uses a single VLAN tag (VLAN 5).
C. sap 1/1/1:5:5 is an invalid syntax for defining a Q-in-Q SAP in Nokia SR OS. The colon is used to separate the port from the first tag only.
