An organization has two ISPs and wants to load-balance traffic equally across both links for all outbound traffic. Which routing configuration approach should be used?
2You are the network engineer for a mid-sized enterprise with a Juniper MX router running Junos. The router has two uplinks to the internet: one to ISP-A via ge-0/0/0 (10.0.0.1/30) and one to ISP-B via ge-0/0/1 (10.0.0.5/30). You have configured static default routes to both ISPs: one to 10.0.0.2 and one to 10.0.0.6. Both routes have the same preference (default 5) and metric. You enabled ECMP to load-balance outbound traffic. After testing, you notice that all traffic is being sent only to ISP-A, and none to ISP-B. You verify that both interfaces are up and that the next-hop addresses are reachable. You check the routing table and see both routes are active but with different next-hop counts. What is the most likely cause of the traffic not being load-balanced?
3Your Juniper router is running OSPF with multiple neighbors. You have a prefix 10.10.10.0/24 that is being learned via OSPF from two different routers: Router A with metric 30 and Router B with metric 20. The OSPF route from Router B is active. You want to ensure that traffic to 10.10.10.0/24 uses the path through Router A instead, even though it has a higher metric. You cannot change the OSPF metric on Router A. Which action should you take?
4A router has two routes to the same destination: one with preference 10 and metric 5, and another with preference 15 and metric 3. Which route will be installed in the forwarding table?
5Your company operates a dual-homed network with two Juniper MX routers (R1 and R2) each connected to a different ISP. R1 uses BGP to receive a default route from ISP-A (preference 170), and R2 uses BGP to receive a default route from ISP-B (preference 170). Additionally, both routers have a static default route pointing to a local next-hop (192.0.2.1) with preference 5 for backup. R1 and R2 are connected via an internal link (10.0.0.0/30) and run OSPF to exchange internal routes. You notice that traffic from internal hosts is always exiting via R1's ISP-A link, even when R1's BGP session to ISP-A goes down. The OSPF routes are preferred. You want traffic to fail over to R2's ISP-B link when R1 loses its BGP default. Which configuration change should you make?
6Order the steps to configure firewall filters (ACLs) in Junos.
7Order the steps to reset the root password on a Junos device via the console.
8A network administrator configures a static route on a Juniper device: `set routing-options static route 192.168.100.0/24 next-hop 10.0.0.1`. The administrator verifies the route is present in the routing table but notices it is not active. What is the most likely cause?
9A router has two ISIS adjacencies to the same router, both with equal metrics. The router installs both routes in the routing table and performs load balancing. The network team wants to verify that both next-hops are being used for a particular destination. Which command provides this information?
10A Juniper device receives several routes to the same destination prefix from different routing protocols. Which parameter is used first to select the active route?
11An engineer wants to configure a static route that will be used only if the primary route (learned via OSPF) becomes unavailable. Which feature should be used?
12Which two factors determine whether a route is active for a given destination when multiple routes from different protocols exist? (Choose two.)
13Refer to the exhibit. Why is the static route not active?
14Refer to the exhibit. Why is the static route not active?
15Refer to the exhibit. What does the 'user' type indicate about the route?
16An engineer configures a static route to 192.168.0.0/16 with next-hop 172.16.1.1. The static route appears as 'hidden' in the routing table. What is the most likely cause?
17Two routers running IBGP with full mesh have a routing loop for prefix 10.1.1.0/24. Both routers have an IBGP route (preference 170) for the prefix with next-hop 10.2.2.2, and an OSPF route (preference 10) for the same prefix. The OSPF next-hop on each router points to the other router's loopback interface. Which action should be taken to stop the loop while preserving BGP route advertisement?
18A route learned via BGP appears as 'hidden' in the routing table. Which condition is most likely the cause?
19Refer to the exhibit. Why is the route for 192.168.1.0/24 hidden?
20Refer to the exhibit. The route for 192.168.0.0/16 is hidden. What is the most likely reason?
21A network engineer configures a static route to a remote network. They want the route to be automatically removed from the routing table if the directly connected interface used to reach the next hop fails. Which configuration approach should be used?
22A network administrator is troubleshooting a missing route in the routing table. The route is learned via OSPF, and the OSPF neighbor adjacency is up. Which command would help determine if OSPF received the route?
23A network is experiencing intermittent routing loops. The engineer discovers that routes are being redistributed from OSPF into BGP and then from BGP back into OSPF on different routers. What is the most effective way to prevent this?
24A static route is configured with next-hop 10.0.0.1, but the route does not appear in the routing table. The interface ge-0/0/0 has IP 192.168.1.2/24 and is up. What is the most likely reason?
25A network must forward traffic to 10.1.1.0/24 through a specific next-hop 192.168.1.1, even if a dynamic route with a lower preference is available. Which configuration will achieve this?
26Which TWO statements about route preferences in Junos are correct?
27Refer to the exhibit. How many next hops are installed for the 10.1.1.0/24 route?
28Refer to the exhibit. If the primary next-hop (192.168.1.1) becomes unreachable, what will happen to the route?
29Refer to the exhibit. What is the most likely cause of this BGP route being hidden?
30An administrator configures a static route to 192.168.2.0/24 with next-hop 10.0.0.1. The route does not appear in the routing table. What is the most likely cause?
31An administrator executes 'show route 192.168.1.0/24' and sees no output, but the route is configured. Which command should be used to display the reason the route is not active?
32A static route to 10.0.0.0/8 has next-hop 192.168.1.1. The route is not installed in the routing table. Which condition must be met for the route to become active?
33A router receives two OSPF routes for 10.10.10.0/24: one intra-area with preference 10 and metric 1, and one external type 2 with preference 150 and metric 20. Which route is selected as active?
34A router has a directly connected route to 10.10.10.0/24 on interface ge-0/0/0.0, a static route to the same prefix with next-hop 192.168.1.1, and an OSPF route to the same prefix. Which route is active in the routing table?
35Which two statements about static routes in Junos OS are correct?
36You are a network engineer for a company that uses two Juniper routers, R1 and R2, connected via an Ethernet link. R1 and R2 are running OSPF in the same area, and R2 also has an eBGP session with a service provider to reach the internet. On R1, you have configured a static route to the subnet 172.16.10.0/24 with a next-hop of 192.168.1.2, which is the IP address of R2's interface facing R1. You have verified that the static route is configured correctly in the configuration, but traffic from R1 to 172.16.10.0/24 is not being forwarded. You check the routing table on R1 and see that the static route is present but marked as 'hidden'. You also notice that R1 has an OSPF-learned route to 192.168.1.0/30 (the link between R1 and R2) with a cost of 1. What is the most appropriate next troubleshooting step?
