01Service-provider VPN architecture and underlay dependencies
A provider VPN carries customer traffic over shared infrastructure while preserving the intended service separation. A Layer2 service transports the relevant customer link-layer traffic under its supported model, whereas a Layer3 service has provider-edge routing participation for the customer.

A customer attachment connects an access circuit to the intended provider service context. Point-to-point Ethernet service connects two relevant ends, while multipoint arrangements connect more than two participants under their supported forwarding model.
372 words, about 2 min03VRFs, route policy and IPv6 provider VPNs
A virtual routing and forwarding instance maintains relevant customer routing/forwarding separation on the provider edge. Customer networks can use overlapping addresses because the service context distinguishes them.
394 words, about 2 min04Identity, access and cryptographic protection
This domain tests the identity lifecycle and the mechanisms that turn an identity into an authorised action. Expect questions that separate authentication from authorisation and that ask which access control model fits a scenario.
857 words, about 4 min05Network boundaries and protected communication
This domain tests perimeter architecture and the device behaviour that makes segmentation real. Questions tend to be scenario-based: where a host belongs, which rule is needed, and what a given protocol actually protects.
430 words, about 2 min06Security operations, monitoring and response
This domain is about running security as a repeatable service rather than a series of heroic acts. Questions target process ownership, change control and the operational metrics that show the programme is working.
803 words, about 4 min07Continuity, backup and technical recovery
This domain tests continuity planning: how an organisation keeps critical services running during disruption and how it recovers afterwards. Distinguish the continuity plan from the disaster recovery plan and know the time-based metrics precisely.
