Networking Fundamentals

A network engineer is designing a redundant network using RSTP. For faster convergence, what is the recommended method to avoid waiting for the forward delay timer?

A host in VLAN 10 can ping a host in VLAN 20 without a default gateway configured. What feature is likely enabled on the router that interconnects the VLANs?

Which TWO statements about IPv4 addressing are correct?

Which field in an Ethernet frame is used by a switch to learn which source MAC address belongs to which port?

You are troubleshooting a network connectivity issue at a medium-sized company that uses Juniper EX4300 switches. Users in VLAN 100 (10.10.100.0/24) report that they cannot access a server in VLAN 200 (10.10.200.0/24). The switch has IRB interfaces configured for both VLANs and is acting as the default gateway. The IRB interfaces are up and have correct IP addresses. The server and users have correct IP configurations. 'show arp' on the switch shows incomplete entries for some hosts in VLAN 100. 'show ethernet-switching table' shows MAC addresses for users are present on the correct access ports. However, pings from the switch to a user in VLAN 100 fail. What is the most likely issue?

You are troubleshooting an OSPF adjacency issue between two Juniper MX series routers, R1 and R2, both running Junos 18.2. They are directly connected via a Gigabit Ethernet link. R1's interface ge-0/0/0 is configured with IP 192.168.1.1/24, and R2's ge-0/0/0 is configured with IP 192.168.1.2/24. Both interfaces are in OSPF area 0.0.0.0. The physical connectivity is confirmed up, and both interfaces are administratively enabled. You have checked that the hello and dead intervals match (hello 10, dead 40), the area IDs are identical, and the subnet masks are /24. No firewall filters are blocking OSPF. The OSPF configuration on R1 includes 'authentication-type md5' and 'authentication-key juniper123' under the interface. On R2, the configuration also includes 'authentication-type md5' but the key is 'juniper321'. Both routers have loopback addresses as router IDs: 1.1.1.1 for R1 and 2.2.2.2 for R2. No explicit OSPF network type is set, so the default is broadcast. Despite these configurations, the OSPF adjacency state on both routers remains in INIT. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

You are configuring a Juniper EX Series switch port that connects to an IP phone. The phone must tag its voice traffic in VLAN 30, while an attached PC sends untagged traffic that should be placed in VLAN 20. You want to configure the port so that both traffic types are accepted on the same physical interface. Which port mode should you configure?

Refer to the exhibit. The OSPF neighbor adjacency repeatedly goes up and down on R1. What is a likely cause?

A network administrator is configuring a new subnet for servers that must not communicate with each other directly but must be able to reach a default gateway. Which type of route should be configured on the servers?

Which THREE statements are true about VLANs on Juniper EX switches? (Select three.)

A network engineer is troubleshooting OSPF adjacencies between two Juniper routers. The routers are directly connected and have matching OSPF configurations except for the router IDs. Router A has router-id 10.0.0.1, Router B has router-id 10.0.0.2. The adjacency remains in the EXSTART state. What is the most likely cause?

A company uses a Juniper MX router to connect two branch offices via a point-to-point link. The link is flapping. Which command would you use to check the interface errors on the link?

An engineer is implementing VLAN trunking between two Juniper EX switches. Which statement about native VLANs on a trunk is correct?

A network engineer is troubleshooting connectivity between two directly connected Juniper routers. The interface on Router A shows 'up' but no packets are being received from Router B. Which command should the engineer use on Router A to check if the interface is expecting to receive a specific encapsulation type?

Refer to the exhibit. A frame with destination MAC 00:0c:29:2a:3b:4d arrives on interface ge-0/0/0. What action will the switch take?

Which TWO statements about VLANs are correct? (Choose two.)

A network engineer sees an unknown unicast flood on a Juniper EX switch. Which mechanism is most effective at reducing such floods?

A network administrator notices that traffic between two VLANs is not reaching its destination. The switch has an IRB interface configured with an IP address in each VLAN's subnet. What is the most likely missing configuration?

Refer to the exhibit. An engineer adds a new static route to 10.10.10.0/24 via next-hop 172.16.1.2. The new route does not appear in the route table. What is the most likely reason?

An engineer enables Spanning Tree PortFast on a switch port connected to a host. Later, another switch is connected to that same port, causing a loop. What feature could have prevented this?

A network engineer is designing a redundant network with two Juniper routers running VRRP. The virtual IP address is 10.0.0.1. Both routers are configured as VRRP group 1. What is the purpose of the 'priority' parameter in VRRP configuration?

A switch receives a unicast frame with a destination MAC address that is present in its MAC address table. How does the switch process the frame?

Which THREE fields are part of an Ethernet frame header? (Select three.)

A router receives a packet with destination IP 10.1.1.100. The routing table contains two entries: a static route to 10.1.1.0/24 via 192.168.1.1, and an OSPF route to 10.1.1.0/25 via 192.168.2.1. Which route will the router use?

A host needs to verify that its assigned IP address is not already in use on the network. Which type of packet does the host send?

Arrange the steps to configure an IPsec VPN on a Junos SRX in the correct order.

A company is deploying an EVPN-VXLAN fabric with Juniper QFX switches. To provide inter-subnet routing, which interface type must be configured?

Two routers are connected via a point-to-point Ethernet link. They are configured with IP addresses in the same subnet, but OSPF does not form an adjacency. The link is up/up. What is a likely cause?

A Juniper router is configured with two static routes to the same destination network, both with the same preference. One route has a metric of 5, the other a metric of 10. Which route will be installed in the routing table?

A medium-sized enterprise has its headquarters (HQ) and a remote branch office connected via a dedicated point-to-point link. The HQ router (Juniper MX) has interface ge-0/0/1 with IP 10.0.0.1/30 connected to the branch router (Juniper SRX) interface ge-0/0/0 with IP 10.0.0.2/30. The branch LAN is 192.168.2.0/24, and the HQ LAN is 10.0.1.0/24. The branch router has a default route pointing to 10.0.0.1. The HQ router has a static route for 192.168.2.0/24 with next-hop 10.0.0.2, but it was recently changed incorrectly to point to 10.0.0.10 due to a configuration error. Users at the branch report that they can access the internet via the HQ router but cannot reach the HQ LAN's file server at 10.0.1.100. From the HQ router, you can ping the branch router's interface IP (10.0.0.2) successfully, but you cannot ping any device in the branch LAN (192.168.2.0/24). You check the routing table on the HQ router and see that the static route for 192.168.2.0/24 points to 10.0.0.10. What is the most appropriate corrective action?

A network engineer is troubleshooting connectivity between two hosts on the same VLAN connected to different Juniper EX switches. The MAC address table on each switch shows the correct MAC addresses for both hosts, but ping fails. What is the most likely cause?

Refer to the exhibit. A host connected to ge-0/0/1 cannot reach a host connected to ge-0/0/2 even though both are in VLAN10. What is the most likely cause?
