✍️ Sample ETCP Questions & Answers
1. Which routing protocol is most commonly used for inter-domain routing in Ericsson transport network deployments?
BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is the standard inter-domain routing protocol used between autonomous systems in transport networks.
2. Which Ericsson OSS component is responsible for collecting and presenting network performance KPIs?
The Performance Management service in ENM collects performance counters and KPIs from network elements and presents them in reports and dashboards.
3. What does 'UE IP Address Preservation' during handover mean in Ericsson's packet core design?
Because the PGW/UPF acts as the IP anchor, the UE keeps the same IP address as it moves between eNBs or gNBs, preserving TCP/UDP sessions during handover.
4. What is the main difference between NSA (Non-Standalone) and SA (Standalone) 5G deployment modes?
In NSA mode, the 5G NR radio is added while the 4G EPC handles control signaling; in SA mode, the full 5G core (AMF, SMF, UPF, etc.) handles all functions independently.
5. In Ericsson's OSS, what is the purpose of 'Bulk CM' functionality?
Bulk CM allows operators to export NE configurations to files, edit them offline, and re-import changes to hundreds of NEs in a single operation.
6. What does 'beamforming' enable in Ericsson's 5G Massive MIMO radios?
Beamforming steers narrow radio beams toward individual or groups of users, increasing received signal strength and reducing interference to other users.
