An engineer is designing a network and needs to ensure that management traffic (SSH, SNMP) is always permitted, even if an interface firewall filter is applied. Which Juniper best practice should be followed?
2Which THREE statements about the 'commit' command are correct?
3A company has a Juniper MX router acting as a BGP route reflector. The router has two routing instances: 'internet' and 'management'. The 'internet' instance uses a firewall filter to block traffic to the router's loopback address from external sources. After a recent configuration change, the engineer notices that SSH access to the router's loopback IP (10.0.0.1) from the internal management network (192.168.0.0/16) is being dropped. The firewall filter for the loopback interface in the 'internet' instance is correctly configured to allow traffic from 192.168.0.0/16. The management instance has no firewall filter applied. The engineer suspects that the issue is related to how the routing instances interact with the loopback interface. Which of the following is the most likely cause and solution?
4Which TWO statements about configuration groups in Junos are correct? (Choose two.)
5An engineer needs to apply a configuration change to the Junos device that must survive a reboot. Which configuration mode command should be used to save the changes?
6A network engineer wants to quickly restore the device to a known good configuration after a failed change. What is the recommended approach?
7Which configuration group feature allows an administrator to apply common configuration settings to multiple interfaces without repeating the configuration?
8A company has two Juniper routers in a high-availability cluster with dual Routing Engines. The administrator performs a commit on the primary RE. What is the effect of using the 'commit synchronize' command?
9While in configuration mode, an administrator wants to see the difference between the candidate configuration and the active configuration. Which command accomplishes this?
10A Juniper device has multiple candidate configurations loaded. The administrator wants to discard all uncommitted changes and revert to the last committed configuration. Which command should be used?
11An engineer wants to revert all uncommitted changes in the candidate configuration and start fresh from the currently active configuration. Which command should be used?
12During a maintenance window, an engineer issues 'commit confirmed 5' but the change causes a connectivity loss. The engineer is unable to reconnect to the device before the timeout expires. What will happen?
13Which TWO statements about configuration storage in Junos are true?
14Which TWO statements about configuration archival in Junos are true?
15Refer to the exhibit. What is the most likely cause of the error?
16A network engineer needs to make a change to a Junos device and ensure the change can be reverted if it causes issues. Which feature should be used?
17A technician needs to load a new configuration file that replaces only the specific hierarchy paths present in the file, leaving all other existing configuration unchanged. Which load statement is appropriate?
18In a dual Routing Engine (RE) setup, an engineer commits a configuration change that should be applied to both REs synchronously. What is the correct command to ensure both REs receive the same configuration immediately?
19A network engineer needs to restore the factory-default configuration on a Junos device. Which command sequence is correct?
20Scenario: Your company has a Juniper MX Series router at a branch office running Junos 18.4. The device has been in production for two years with a stable configuration. Yesterday, a senior engineer made several changes to the OSPF configuration to optimize routing for a new link. They committed the changes and left for the day. This morning, the branch office experiences intermittent connectivity, and the OSPF neighbor relationships are flapping. You suspect the recent OSPF changes caused the issue. You have remote console access to the router. The goal is to restore network stability as quickly as possible while preserving the ability to re-apply the changes after troubleshooting. Which course of action should you take?
21A network operations team has received a new Juniper router to replace an existing legacy router. The team needs to apply a baseline configuration that includes system settings, interfaces, and security policies. The configuration is provided as a text file containing Junos configuration hierarchy syntax (e.g., 'system { host-name... }'). The engineer connects to the console and sees the prompt 'root@%'. What is the most efficient way to apply the configuration?
22A network engineer accidentally committed a configuration on a Juniper router that caused a loss of management access via SSH and SNMP. The engineer has console access and the device is still operational. Before the change, the engineer had saved a rescue configuration using 'request system configuration rescue save'. Which action should the engineer take to restore management access most quickly?
23A company runs a Juniper SRX firewall cluster consisting of two nodes (node0 primary, node1 secondary). The cluster has been stable. During maintenance, you modify the configuration on node0 and commit. After the commit, the cluster status shows node1 as 'ineligible'. You suspect a configuration mismatch. What should you do to synchronize the configuration without disrupting traffic?
