20+ practice questions focused on Junos OS Fundamentals — one of the most tested topics on the Juniper Networks Certified Associate Junos JNCIA-Junos exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Junos OS Fundamentals PracticeA network engineer is configuring a new Juniper device and needs to ensure that the configuration is saved persistently across reboots. Which command should be used?
Explanation: The `commit` command activates the candidate configuration and saves it to the active configuration database, ensuring it persists across reboots. Without a commit, any changes made in candidate mode are lost when the device restarts.
An administrator needs to quickly revert all uncommitted configuration changes and return the device to the last committed configuration. Which command accomplishes this?
Explanation: The command 'rollback 0' reverts all uncommitted configuration changes and returns the device to the last committed configuration. In Junos, the rollback command uses a numeric argument to specify which previous configuration to load, with 0 always referring to the most recently committed configuration. This effectively discards any pending changes in the candidate configuration without requiring a commit.
A Juniper device is experiencing high CPU utilization due to a routing protocol process. The engineer suspects a specific BGP peer is causing the issue. Which operational command can be used to collect diagnostic information about the routing protocol processes?
Explanation: 'show system processes extensive' displays detailed CPU and memory usage for each individual process, including routing protocol daemons like bgpd. This allows the engineer to see which routing protocol process (e.g., bgpd) is consuming excessive CPU resources. However, it does not identify a specific BGP peer; further investigation with commands like 'show bgp neighbor' would be needed to isolate the peer.
An engineer needs to view the current active configuration on a Juniper device. Which command will display the configuration that is currently running?
Explanation: The 'show configuration' command displays the current active configuration that is committed and running on a Juniper device. Unlike Cisco's 'show running-config', Junos uses a commit model where the candidate configuration is activated only after a 'commit' operation, and 'show configuration' shows that committed, active configuration.
During a maintenance window, an engineer needs to apply a series of configuration changes that are stored in a text file. Which command sequence should be used to load and apply the changes from the file?
Explanation: The engineer needs to enter configuration mode (configure) and then use the 'load merge' command to merge the contents of the text file into the candidate configuration without replacing the entire configuration. The 'commit' command then activates the changes. This is the standard Junos workflow for applying incremental changes from a file.
