You are managing a Juniper MX router that serves as a BGP route reflector for multiple customer VPNs. The router has two routing engines (RE0 and RE1) in a graceful switchover (GRES) configuration. During a routine maintenance window, you need to upgrade the Junos OS from version 18.1R1 to 20.2R2. The upgrade must minimize traffic disruption. You have already staged the new image on both REs. Which sequence of commands ensures minimal impact?
2You are managing a Juniper MX240 router at a small ISP. The router has been operating normally for months. This morning, a customer reports intermittent packet loss on their connection, which is served by interface ge-0/0/2. You SSH into the router and run 'show interfaces ge-0/0/2 extensive'. The output shows input errors increasing rapidly, including CRC errors and frame errors. The interface is up/up. You also notice that the interface statistics show a high number of carrier transitions. The cable connecting the router to the customer's CPE was recently replaced by the customer's technician. What is the most likely cause of the errors and the correct action to resolve the issue?
3Which two events typically trigger a change to the routing table? (Choose two.)
4A network administrator wants to see the current CPU load average over the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes on a Juniper device. Which command displays this information?
5A technician notices that the /var partition is filling up on a Juniper device. Which action would be most appropriate to free up space while preserving critical logs?
6A network operator needs to upgrade the Junos OS on the backup RE (re1) of a dual-RE system. Which procedure ensures that only the backup RE is upgraded and rebooted without affecting the forwarding plane?
7Which command displays the status of all configured interfaces, including administrative and operational status?
8A network engineer suspects a hardware issue on an interface. Which command provides the most detailed hardware error counters, including CRC errors, framing errors, and runts?
9An operator wants to monitor the temperature and voltage sensors on a Juniper chassis. Which command displays current sensor readings?
10A technician needs to view the last 50 log messages from the system log file. Which command accomplishes this?
11Which command is used to verify that the current active configuration is the same as the candidate configuration?
12Which TWO commands can be used to monitor system log messages in real-time?
13Which TWO commands can be used to view the current routing table entries for IPv4 unicast routes?
14Refer to the exhibit. An administrator notices the /var partition is nearly full. Which command can be used to safely reclaim disk space?
15Refer to the exhibit. Based on the log messages, what is the most likely cause of the interface flapping?
16Refer to the exhibit. Which interface has a physical layer connectivity problem?
17An engineer needs to check if the device has any pending changes that have not been committed. Which operational command should they run?
18An administrator is asked to check the system log files for any error messages related to interface failures. Which command would be most efficient?
19Which TWO commands can be used to view the system log messages on a Juniper device? (Select two.)
20Your company runs a Juniper MX480 router as the core gateway. The router has been experiencing intermittent connectivity issues with a remote site over a point-to-point OC3 link. Users report that the link goes down for a few seconds several times a day. You suspect that the issue might be related to physical layer errors or framing. You need to determine the cause and collect relevant data to present to the service provider. Which course of action should you take first?
21You are a junior network engineer tasked with upgrading the Junos OS on a pair of EX3400 switches that are in a Virtual Chassis. You have downloaded the new software image to the primary switch. Before performing the upgrade, you must verify the image's integrity and check the current version. Which sequence of commands should you use?
22Which two commands can be used to monitor real-time interface statistics and errors on a Junos device?
23A network administrator notices that the CPU utilization on an MX240 router has been consistently above 90% for the past hour. Users are reporting intermittent connectivity issues. The administrator logs in and runs 'show system processes extensive' which shows the Routing Protocol Daemon (rpd) consuming 70% of the CPU. Further investigation reveals that the router has over 5000 BGP prefixes from multiple peers. The administrator suspects that the high CPU is due to continuous route processing. What should the administrator do to immediately reduce CPU load while maintaining network stability?
