JNCIA-JUNOS User Interfaces Practice Test 1 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A network engineer needs to commit a configuration change but wants to ensure the change can be easily reverted if it causes issues. Which approach should the engineer take?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'commit confirmed' command with a timeout.. Option B is correct because the 'commit confirmed' command allows the engineer to commit a configuration change with a default timeout of 10 minutes (configurable). If the change causes issues and the engineer does not confirm the commit within the timeout period, Junos automatically reverts to the previous active configuration, providing a safe rollback mechanism.

Answer

Use the 'commit and-quit' command to apply changes.

Answer

Use the 'commit check' command before committing.

Answer

Use the 'rollback 0' command after committing.

Question 2

An administrator wants to view the current operational status of interface ge-0/0/1 on a Junos device. Which command displays this information?

Accepted Answer

show interfaces terse ge-0/0/1. The 'show interfaces terse ge-0/0/1' command displays a concise, one-line summary of the operational status of the specified interface, including its administrative and link state, protocol status, and configured IP addresses. This is the correct command for viewing the current operational status because 'terse' filters the output to show only the essential operational details without configuration data.

Answer

show configuration interfaces ge-0/0/1

Answer

monitor interface ge-0/0/1

Answer

show interface ge-0/0/1

Question 3

A junior engineer is troubleshooting a routing issue and wants to see the route table for IPv4 unicast routes. Which command will display this information?

Accepted Answer

show route table inet.0. Option A is correct because the command 'show route table inet.0' displays the IPv4 unicast route table in Junos. The inet.0 table is the default routing table for IPv4 unicast routes, containing all active routes learned via various protocols (e.g., OSPF, BGP, static). This command is the standard way to view the IPv4 unicast routing information base (RIB) on Juniper devices.

Answer

show route table inet6.0

Answer

show route forwarding-table

Answer

show route protocol bgp

Question 4

An engineer needs to apply a configuration change to the device, but only if the configuration is syntactically correct. Which command should be used before committing?

Accepted Answer

commit check. The 'commit check' command validates the candidate configuration for syntax errors without applying it, making it the correct choice when the engineer only wants to verify syntactic correctness before committing. Unlike 'commit', which applies changes immediately, 'commit check' performs the same validation as a commit but stops short of activating the configuration.

Answer

commit

Answer

commit confirmed

Answer

show | compare

Question 5

An administrator wants to navigate to the configuration mode to make changes to the device. Which command should be used?

Accepted Answer

configure. The correct command to enter configuration mode on a Juniper device is 'configure'. This command transitions the CLI from operational mode to configuration mode, allowing the administrator to make changes to the device's configuration. In JUNOS, the CLI has two distinct modes: operational mode (for monitoring and troubleshooting) and configuration mode (for modifying the active or candidate configuration).

Answer

set

Answer

edit

Answer

cli

Question 6

During troubleshooting, an engineer needs to view real-time logging messages on a Junos device. Which command should be used?

Accepted Answer

monitor start messages. The 'monitor start messages' command enables real-time, tail-like display of the /var/log/messages log file on a Junos device, allowing the engineer to view new log entries as they are generated. This is the correct command for live troubleshooting because it continuously updates the terminal with incoming syslog messages, unlike static file viewing commands.

Answer

file show /var/log/messages

Answer

show log messages

Answer

traceoptions

Question 7

A network engineer needs to revert to the configuration that was active before the last commit. Which command accomplishes this?

Accepted Answer

rollback 1. The 'rollback 1' command reverts the active configuration to the configuration that was committed immediately before the most recent commit. Junos maintains up to 50 previous committed configurations (rollback 0 being the current active configuration, rollback 1 the previous, and so on). This command is the correct way to undo the last commit without manually editing the configuration.

Answer

rollback 0

Answer

load override

Answer

revert

Question 8

An administrator wants to see the differences between the candidate configuration and the active configuration. Which command should be used?

Accepted Answer

show | compare. The 'show | compare' command displays the differences between the candidate configuration and the active (committed) configuration. This is the standard Junos method for reviewing uncommitted changes before committing them, as it outputs a diff-style output showing lines added, deleted, or modified.

Answer

show | display set

Answer

run show configuration

Answer

show configuration

Question 9

Which TWO statements are true regarding the Junos CLI? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

The pipe (|) can be used to filter command output.. Option A is correct because the pipe (|) in the Junos CLI is used to filter command output, allowing you to apply modifiers like 'match', 'except', 'count', or 'display set' to refine the displayed information. This is a fundamental feature for efficiently managing large amounts of operational or configuration data.

Answer

The 'edit' command is used in operational mode to navigate the hierarchy.

Answer

The 'set' command is used in operational mode to set parameters.

Answer

The 'rollback 0' command discards the candidate configuration.

Question 10

Which THREE are valid methods to exit configuration mode in Junos? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

exit configuration-mode. Option A is correct because 'exit configuration-mode' is a valid operational mode command that explicitly exits from configuration mode back to operational mode. This command is used when you are at the top of the configuration hierarchy and want to leave the configuration CLI session.

Answer

commit check

Answer

quit

Question 11

Which TWO commands can be used to view the current operational state of an interface? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

show interfaces extensive. The 'show interfaces extensive' command displays detailed operational state information, including current status, errors, and statistics. The 'show interfaces terse' command provides a concise operational view showing interface names, administrative status, link status, and protocol families. Both commands query the current operational state of interfaces from the Junos OS kernel.

Answer

show log

Answer

show configuration interfaces

Answer

show route

Question 12

Refer to the exhibit. Based on the output, what is the operational status of interface ge-0/0/0?

Accepted Answer

The interface is administratively up and the link is up.. Option D is correct because the output shows 'Physical link is Up' and 'Administratively Up', confirming that the interface is both enabled and receiving a carrier signal. In JUNOS, the 'show interfaces terse' command displays 'up' for the administrative status and 'up' for the link status when both conditions are met.

Answer

The interface is up but the link is down.

Answer

The interface has no IP address configured.

Answer

The interface is administratively down.

Question 13

Refer to the exhibit. An engineer runs the command but sees no output. What is the most likely reason?

Accepted Answer

The interface ge-0/0/0 is not configured.. The command 'show configuration | display set' outputs the configuration in a set-based format. If there is no output, it means the configuration is empty or the specified interface does not exist. In this case, the interface ge-0/0/0 is not configured, so the filter 'display set' returns no lines for that interface. Option B is correct because an unconfigured interface yields no configuration output.

Answer

The pipe (|) is not supported with 'display set'.

Answer

The interface name is misspelled.

Answer

The command syntax is incorrect.

Question 14

You are a network engineer for a service provider that recently deployed a Juniper MX router at a new Point of Presence (PoP). The router is used to aggregate customer connections and exchange routes with upstream providers via BGP. After the initial configuration, you notice that the router is not learning any routes from one of the upstream BGP peers. You have verified that the BGP session is established (state Established) and that the peer is sending routes. You suspect that the issue might be related to the firewall filter or routing policy. You want to determine if any inbound routes are being rejected and why. Which command would provide the most direct information about why routes are being rejected?

Accepted Answer

show route receive-protocol bgp 192.0.2.1. Option B, 'show route receive-protocol bgp 192.0.2.1', is correct because it displays the exact routes received from a specific BGP peer along with any policy or filter actions applied (e.g., reject, accept). This command directly shows whether routes are being rejected and the reason (e.g., due to an import policy or firewall filter), making it the most direct diagnostic tool for the described issue.

Answer

show route protocol bgp

Answer

show bgp summary

Answer

show firewall filter <filter-name>

Question 15

You are managing a Juniper EX4300 switch that serves as a Layer 3 access switch for a campus network. The switch has multiple VLANs configured with IRB interfaces. Users in VLAN 10 report that they cannot reach the default gateway (IRB.10) even though other VLANs are working fine. You check the configuration and see that interface irb.10 is configured with an IP address. You also verify that the VLAN is associated with the correct access ports. However, when you ping the IRB.10 address from the switch itself, it fails. You suspect that the issue might be that the IRB interface is not 'up'. Which command would you use to quickly verify the operational status of the IRB interface?

Accepted Answer

show interfaces terse irb.10. Option A is correct because `show interfaces terse irb.10` displays the operational status (up/down) of the IRB interface along with its configured IP address. Since the issue is that the IRB interface may not be 'up', this command quickly confirms whether the interface is operationally active, which is essential for Layer 3 forwarding.

Answer

show ethernet-switching table

Answer

show configuration interfaces irb.10

Answer

show vlan
