1

A network engineer notices that a device is not sending SNMP traps to the NMS. Which operational command should be used to verify SNMP configuration?

2

A network administrator is troubleshooting high CPU usage on a Juniper router. Which command helps identify which process is consuming the most CPU?

3

After a software upgrade, BGP sessions are not establishing. The engineer runs 'show bgp summary' and sees that all sessions are in Idle state. What is the most likely cause?

4

A junior engineer needs to collect a snapshot of the current system state, including routing tables, interfaces, and configuration, for a support ticket. Which command achieves this?

5

A network engineer wants to schedule a reboot of a Juniper device at 3:00 AM. Which command should be used?

6

A router is experiencing intermittent packet loss. The engineer runs 'show interfaces ge-0/0/0 extensive' and notices a high number of input errors but no output errors. What is the most likely cause?

7

An engineer needs to check the last time the configuration was changed. Which command provides this information?

8

A BGP session is flapping. The engineer runs 'show log messages' and sees 'BGP recv Notification' with error code 'Cease'. What does this indicate?

9

Which TWO statements are true about the 'show interfaces ge-0/0/0 extensive' command output?

10

Which THREE commands are used for operational monitoring of routing protocols?

11

Which TWO statements are correct about the 'monitor interface' command?

12

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?

13

You are troubleshooting an OSPF issue on a Juniper router. The router has a single interface ge-0/0/1 with IP 10.1.1.1/30 connected to a neighbor with IP 10.1.1.2/30. OSPF is configured area 0. The 'show ospf neighbor' command shows no neighbors. 'show interfaces ge-0/0/1 terse' shows the interface is up. 'show configuration protocols ospf' shows: area 0.0.0.0 { interface ge-0/0/1.0 { passive; } } What is the problem?

14

A network engineer notices that traffic to a critical server is being dropped intermittently. The server is reachable via a static route on the Juniper router. The engineer checks the routing table and sees the route is present. Which operational command should the engineer use next to isolate the issue?

15

Which THREE statements about the 'request system snapshot' command are true? (Choose three.)

16

Based on the exhibit, which protocol is enabled on interface ge-0/0/0.0?

17

You are the network administrator for a large enterprise with a Juniper MX480 router running Junos 18.2R3. The router has two Routing Engines (RE0 and RE1) in a graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) configuration. During a scheduled maintenance window, you need to upgrade the Junos OS to a newer version while minimizing traffic loss. The upgrade process requires a reboot of both REs. You have staged the software on both REs. Which sequence of commands should you use to perform the upgrade with minimal disruption?

18

Which TWO statements correctly describe the use of the 'monitor traffic' command in Junos?

19

Refer to the exhibit. A network engineer sees repeated 'PFE interrupt error' messages in the log for fpc0. What is the most likely impact and recommended action?

20

You 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?

21

Arrange the steps to configure OSPF on a Junos router in the correct order.

81

Your 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?

82

You are a network administrator for a large enterprise. The Juniper EX4300 switch that serves as the distribution layer for the finance department is experiencing high CPU utilization. Users are complaining of slow network performance. You have accessed the switch via console and notice that the CPU load is consistently above 90%. You need to identify the process causing the high CPU usage. Which command should you use?

83

A Juniper SRX300 firewall is deployed at a branch office. The firewall's disk space on /var is critically low, causing logs to stop writing and system performance degradation. You need to free up space quickly without deleting logs (they are required for compliance). Which action should you take?

84

You 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?

85

Which two commands can be used to monitor real-time interface statistics and errors on a Junos device?

86

A 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?

87

A service provider has two MX routers (R1 and R2) connected via two separate physical links. Both links are in an aggregated Ethernet bundle (ae0). The ae0 interface is configured with LACP active on both sides. Recently, a fiber cut occurred on one of the member links, and the aggregated interface continued working. However, after the fiber was repaired, the network operator noticed that the restored link is not being re-added to the bundle. 'show lacp interfaces' indicates the link is in a 'detached' state. The operator checks 'show interfaces diagnostics optics' and finds that the optical parameters are normal. Which action should the operator take to restore the link to the bundle without affecting traffic?

88

An engineer needs to check for packet errors on an interface. Which two commands provide error counter information? (Choose two.)

89

Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator notices intermittent connectivity issues. Based on the log messages, what is the most likely cause?

90

A company runs Juniper MX routers in a data center. They have a monitoring server that polls SNMP every 5 minutes. Recently, the monitoring server reported that interface ge-0/0/1 on router R1 has been down for 3 hours, but the network operations center says that no alarms were triggered and the link appears up from their end. The administrator logs into R1 and runs 'show interfaces ge-0/0/1' and sees that the interface is up with no errors, but the output shows 'Last flapped: 3 hours ago', which matches the monitoring downtime. Further investigation reveals that the interface has been administratively disabled and re-enabled at that time by an automated script that was later rolled back. The monitoring server uses ifAdminStatus and ifOperStatus OIDs. Which action would most reliably prevent this false positive in the future?
