NEW QUESTION # 59
Exhibit:
Referring to the exhibit, at which interval will the interface be considered down if no hello packets are received?
- A. 400 seconds
- B. 400 milliseconds
- C. 2000 seconds
- D. 2000 milliseconds
Answer: D
Explanation:
The exhibit shows the configuration of Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for OSPF on interface xe-0/0/4.0, with the following parameters: minimum-interval: 400 milliseconds multiplier: 5 Step-by-Step Breakdown:
BFD Liveness Detection:
BFD is used to detect link failures at sub-second intervals, providing faster convergence times for routing protocols like OSPF. The minimum-interval is the time between BFD control packets (in milliseconds), and the multiplier indicates how many missed BFD packets trigger a failure.
Calculating Failure Detection Time:
The failure detection interval is calculated as:
Failure Interval=minimum-interval×multiplier\text{Failure Interval} = \text{minimum-interval} \times \text{multiplier}Failure Interval=minimum-interval×multiplier In this case:
400milliseconds×5=2000 milliseconds(2seconds)400 \, \text{milliseconds} \times 5 = 2000 \, \text{milliseconds} (2 seconds)400milliseconds×5=2000milliseconds(2seconds) Conclusion:
If no BFD control packets are received within 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds), the interface will be considered down, triggering OSPF to recalculate routes. Juniper Reference: BFD Configuration: BFD parameters such as minimum-interval and multiplier are used to fine-tune the failure detection time for faster convergence.

NEW QUESTION # 65
Which three actions are required to implement filter-based forwarding? (Choose three.)
- A. You must create a security policy.
- B. You must create an instance-type vrf routing instance.
- C. You must create an instance-type forwarding routing instance.
- D. You must create a match filter.
- E. You must create a RIB group.
Answer: C,D,E
Explanation:
Filter-Based Forwarding (FBF) in Junos OS allows traffic to be routed based on specific criteria such as source address, rather than just the destination address. This is useful in scenarios like policy routing or providing multiple paths for different types of traffic. Step-by-Step Breakdown:
Instance-Type Forwarding:
You must create an instance-type forwarding routing instance. This routing instance allows for different routing tables based on the incoming packet filter.
Command:
set routing-instances FBF-instance instance-type forwarding Match Filter:
You need to create a filter to match the traffic that will be forwarded according to your custom routing policy. This filter is applied to an interface to determine which traffic will use the custom forwarding instance.
Command Example:
set firewall family inet filter FBF-filter term 1 from source-address <address> set firewall family inet filter FBF-filter term 1 then routing-instance FBF-instance RIB Group:
A RIB (Routing Information Base) group is necessary to share routes between the primary routing table and the custom routing instance. This allows FBF traffic to use the routing information from other routing tables.
Command Example:
set routing-options rib-groups FBF-group import-rib inet.0
set routing-instances FBF-instance routing-options rib-group FBF-group
Juniper
Reference: FBF Configuration: Filter-based forwarding requires these specific steps to redirect traffic to a custom routing table based on filter criteria.
NEW QUESTION # 66
What is the behavior of the default export policy for OSPF?
- A. Redistribute all routes.
- B. Accept all routes.
- C. Reject all routes.
- D. Forward all routes.
Answer: C
Explanation:
In Junos, the default export policy for OSPF is to reject all routes from being exported.
Step-by-Step Breakdown:
Default Export Policy:
By default, OSPF in Junos does not export any routes to other routing protocols or neighbors. This is a safety mechanism to prevent unintended route advertisements. Custom Export Policies:
If you need to export routes, you must create a custom export policy that explicitly defines which routes to advertise.
Example: You can create an export policy to redistribute static or connected routes into OSPF.
Juniper
Reference: OSPF Export Behavior: In Juniper devices, the default policy for OSPF is to reject route advertisements unless explicitly configured otherwise through custom policies.
NEW QUESTION # 67
Which statement is correct about an IRB interface?
- A. An IRB interface switches traffic within the same VLAN.
- B. An IRB interface is a Layer 3 interface that can be used to route between VLANs.
- C. An IRB interface is a physical Layer 3 interface that connects VLANs together.
- D. An IRB interface trunks together VLANs on different switches.
Answer: B
Explanation:
An IRB (Integrated Routing and Bridging) interface provides routing functionality between VLANs at Layer 3, allowing devices in different VLANs to communicate with each other.
Step-by-Step Breakdown:
IRB Functionality:
The IRB interface enables routing between different VLANs by acting as a Layer 3 gateway. Traffic within the same VLAN is handled by Layer 2 switching, while traffic between VLANs is routed through the IRB interface.
Layer 3 Routing Between VLANs:
Each VLAN can be assigned an IP address on the IRB interface, which allows traffic to flow between VLANs based on Layer 3 IP routing.
Juniper
Reference: IRB Interface Configuration: Juniper supports IRB for inter-VLAN routing on devices like the EX and QFX series switches, facilitating Layer 3 communication in data centers.
NEW QUESTION # 68
How does OSPF calculate the best path to a particular prefix?
- A. It finds the path with the numerically lowest route preference.
- B. It finds the path with the shortest autonomous system path.
- C. It finds the path with the least number of hops.
- D. It finds the path with the numerically lowest cost.
Answer: D
Explanation:
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) calculates the best path based on the cost of the route, which is derived from the bandwidth of the interfaces along the path.
Step-by-Step Breakdown:
OSPF Path Selection:
OSPF assigns a cost to each link, typically based on the link's bandwidth (higher bandwidth equals lower cost).
The OSPF algorithm computes the shortest path to a destination by adding the costs of all links in the path. The path with the numerically lowest total cost is chosen as the best path. Cost Calculation:
The OSPF cost can be manually adjusted or automatically calculated using the default formula: Cost=Reference BandwidthLink Bandwidth\text{Cost} = \frac{\text{Reference Bandwidth}}{\text{Link Bandwidth}}Cost=Link BandwidthReference Bandwidth Juniper Reference: OSPF Best Path Selection: OSPF selects the path with the lowest cumulative cost, ensuring efficient use of higher-bandwidth links in Junos networks.
NEW QUESTION # 69
Which Junos OS routing table stores IPv6 addresses?
- A. inet6.0
- B. inet.0
- C. inet0.6
- D. inet.6
Answer: A
Explanation:
In Junos OS, routing information is stored in different routing tables depending on the protocol and address family. For IPv6 addresses, the routing table used is inet6.0.
Step-by-Step:
Routing Tables in Junos:
inet.0: This is the primary routing table for IPv4 unicast routes.
inet6.0: This is the primary routing table for IPv6 unicast routes.
inet.3: This routing table is used for MPLS-related routing.
Other routing tables, like inet.1, inet.2, are used for multicast and other specific purposes.
inet6.0 Routing Table:
When IPv6 is enabled on a Juniper router, all the IPv6 routes are stored in the inet6.0 table. This includes both direct routes (connected networks) and learned routes (from dynamic routing protocols like OSPFv3, BGP, etc.).
Verification:
To view IPv6 routes, the command show route table inet6.0 is used. This will display the contents of the IPv6 routing table, showing the network prefixes, next-hop addresses, and protocol information for each route.
Juniper
Reference: Junos Command: Use show route table inet6.0 to check IPv6 routing entries.
IPv6 Routing: Ensure that the IPv6 protocol is enabled on interfaces and that routing protocols like OSPFv3 or BGP are properly configured for IPv6 traffic handling.
NEW QUESTION # 70
What is the default Junos behavior of access ports?
- A. Allow both tagged and untagged traffic
- B. Allow a maximum of 80 percent untagged traffic

NEW QUESTION # 72
During a BGP Graceful Restart, what happens to the routes learned from the restarting neighbor?
- A. They are advertised to other BGP neighbors.
- B. Their metric is increased to prevent their use.
- C. They are marked as stale but kept in the routing table.
- D. They are immediately removed from the routing table.
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 73
Which signaling protocol is used for EVPN?
- A. OSPF
- B. IS-IS
- C. BGP
- D. PIM
Answer: C
Explanation:
EVPN (Ethernet Virtual Private Network) is a standard protocol used for building Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs over an IP or MPLS network. The signaling protocol used for EVPN is BGP (Border Gateway Protocol).
Step-by-Step Breakdown:
BGP as the EVPN Signaling Protocol:
EVPN uses BGP to exchange MAC address reachability information between routers (PE devices). This enables devices to learn which MAC addresses are reachable through which PE devices, facilitating Layer 2 forwarding across an IP or MPLS core.
BGP Extensions for EVPN:
BGP is extended with new address families (e.g., EVPN NLRI) to carry both MAC and IP address information, allowing for scalable and efficient multi-tenant network solutions.
Juniper Reference:
Junos EVPN Configuration: Juniper uses BGP as the control plane for EVPN to exchange MAC and IP route information between different data center devices.
NEW QUESTION # 74
Which of the following are true regarding port modes in a VLAN setup? (Choose two)
- A. An access port carries traffic only for a single VLAN.
- B. A trunk port can carry traffic for multiple VLANs.
- C. A trunk port is used exclusively for inter-switch links.
- D. An access port can carry traffic for multiple VLANs.
Answer: A,B
NEW QUESTION # 75
Which two statements are correct about BGP? (Choose two.)
- A. EBGP sessions are typically established between router loopback interfaces.
- B. EBGP uses the AS path to avoid loops.
- C. IBGP peers do not advertise routes learned from IBGP peers to other IBGP peers.
- D. IBGP sessions are typically established between physical router interfaces.
Answer: B,C
NEW QUESTION # 76
Which statement is correct about per-flow load balancing?
- A. The packets are guaranteed to arrive at their destination in the same order in which they were sent.
- B. The packets are guaranteed to arrive at their destination in a different order in which they were sent.
- C. Packets associated with the same flow are sent through different egress ports.
- D. Packets associated with the same flow are sent through the same egress port.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Per-flow load balancing ensures that packets within the same flow are always forwarded over the same path, ensuring that packet order is preserved.
Step-by-Step Breakdown:
Flow Definition:
A flow is typically defined by a combination of packet attributes like source/destination IP, source/destination port, and protocol type. Packets that belong to the same flow are routed over the same path to avoid reordering.
Per-Flow Behavior:
In per-flow load balancing, the hashing algorithm ensures that all packets in a particular flow use the same egress port, maintaining order across the network. Juniper Reference: Load Balancing in Juniper: This method ensures that flows are balanced across multiple paths while preventing packet reordering within a single flow.
NEW QUESTION # 77
In troubleshooting a Virtual Chassis setup, what is a common issue to look for?
- A. Use of copper cables for inter-switch connections

Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 78
What is the primary use of a virtual link in OSPF?
- A. To balance load across multiple links.
- B. To connect OSPF areas to external networks.
- C. To connect an OSPF area to the backbone area through a non-backbone area.
- D. To encrypt OSPF traffic.
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 79
You want to minimize topology disruptions in your network when the rpd process restarts on a device.
Which service would accomplish this task?
- A. link aggregation groups
- B. Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
- C. graceful restart (GR)
- D. Virtual Chassis
Answer: C
Explanation:
Graceful Restart (GR) is a feature that allows a router to maintain forwarding even when the routing process (e.g., the rpd process in Junos) is restarting, minimizing disruption to the network.
Step-by-Step Breakdown:
Graceful Restart Function:
During a GR event, the forwarding plane continues to forward packets based on existing routes, while the control plane (rpd process) is restarting. This prevents traffic loss and maintains routing stability. Minimizing Disruptions:
GR is particularly useful in ensuring continuous packet forwarding during software upgrades or routing protocol process restarts.
Juniper
Reference: Graceful Restart in Junos: GR ensures high availability by maintaining forwarding continuity during control plane restarts, enhancing network reliability.
NEW QUESTION # 80
When troubleshooting an OSPF neighborship, you notice that the router stopped at the ExStart state.
What is the cause of this result?
- A. There is an interval timing mismatch.
- B. There is an area ID mismatch.
- C. There is an MTU mismatch.
- D. The priority is set to 255.
Answer: C
Explanation:
When an OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) neighborship is stuck in the ExStart state, it usually points to a mismatch in Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) settings between two routers trying to establish the adjacency. The ExStart state is where OSPF routers negotiate the master-slave relationship and exchange DBD (Database Description) packets.
Step-by-Step Breakdown:
OSPF Neighbor States: OSPF goes through several states to establish an adjacency with a neighbor:
Down: No hello packets have been received.
Init: Hello packets are received, but bidirectional communication isn't confirmed.
2-Way: Bidirectional communication is established.
ExStart: The routers are negotiating who will be the master and who will be the slave, and begin to exchange DBD packets.
Exchange: The routers start exchanging the database information.
Loading: The routers process the Link-State Advertisements (LSAs).
Full: The adjacency is fully established.
MTU Mismatch Issue:
During the ExStart state, both OSPF routers must agree on their MTU values. If there is an MTU mismatch between the two routers, OSPF neighbors will fail to move from the ExStart to the Exchange state. The router with the larger MTU setting will not accept DBD packets from the router with a smaller MTU because the packets may exceed the smaller MTU size.
In Juniper devices, this behavior can be identified by examining the MTU settings using the show interfaces command and ensuring both routers have matching MTU configurations. To resolve this issue, either match the MTU settings on both routers or configure OSPF to ignore MTU mismatches using the command set protocols ospf ignore-mtu.
Juniper
Reference: Junos Command: show ospf neighbor helps diagnose neighbor states.
MTU Adjustment: set interfaces <interface-name> mtu <size> can be used to set the MTU values correctly.
NEW QUESTION # 81
In networking, what is a RIB group primarily used for?
- A. To dynamically generate routing entries
- B. To balance the load across multiple links
- C. To group multiple Routing Information Bases together for a common purpose
- D. To filter routes based on specific criteria
Answer: C
