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.

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?

They run 'show configuration firewall' and see the filter is present. They run 'show firewall filter BLOCK-ICMP' to see the counters and notice the packet count is zero. What is the most likely reason?

Hard
57

60

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?

141

You are a junior network engineer at a company that uses Juniper MX routers. You are troubleshooting a connectivity issue on a branch router. The branch router has two upstream links to the corporate network: ge-0/0/0 (10.1.1.1/30, connected to core router A) and ge-0/0/1 (10.1.1.5/30, connected to core router B). The branch router runs OSPF and has a default route learned from both upstream routers. The routing table shows two equal-cost default routes via both next hops. However, traffic from the branch to the corporate network is experiencing intermittent high latency and some packet loss. You suspect that asymmetric routing is causing issues because the return traffic is not following the same path. You want to influence the router to prefer one upstream link for all traffic to the corporate network.

You are managing a small enterprise network with one Juniper router and two switches. The router connects to an ISP via ge-0/0/0 and to the internal network via ge-0/0/1. The internal network uses the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. You need to configure a default route on the router to send all Internet-bound traffic to the ISP gateway at 203.0.113.1. You also want to ensure that internal hosts can reach the Internet. After configuring the default route, you test connectivity from a host on the internal network to an external website, but the ping fails. You verify that the host has an IP address of 192.168.1.100/24 and a default gateway of 192.168.1.1 (the router's internal interface). On the router, you run 'show route 0.0.0.0/0' and see the default route active. You also run 'ping 203.0.113.1' from the router and it succeeds. However, pinging from the host to the ISP gateway fails. What is the most likely cause?

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?

Tom is a junior network engineer who recently joined a service provider. He is tasked with configuring a new BGP session on an MX240 router to peer with a customer. He accesses the router via SSH and enters configuration mode using the `configure` command. He then navigates to `edit protocols bgp` and begins configuring. He sets the local AS number, adds a group named 'CUSTOMER-A', and specifies the peer IP address 192.0.2.2. After completing the configuration, he attempts to commit by typing `commit`. The system returns a syntax error and indicates that the configuration is invalid. Tom is unsure what went wrong and wants to identify the error before making any changes. What should Tom do next?

A network administrator configures a default route using 'set routing-options static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 10.0.0.1 preference 10' and later enables OSPF which also advertises a default route with default preference 150. Which route becomes active in the routing table?

You are a network engineer responsible for a Juniper MX240 router in a data center. The router is running Junos 18.2R1 and you need to upgrade it to 19.1R2 to fix a critical security vulnerability. You establish an SSH session to the router and enter configuration mode to prepare the upgrade. While in configuration mode, you notice that the candidate configuration contains several uncommitted changes from a previous engineer that attempted to modify BGP settings but introduced a syntax error. The candidate configuration fails any commit operation due to this error. The currently active configuration is stable and the router is handling production traffic. The upgrade process requires you to change the boot media and specify the new image. Which action should you take to clear the candidate configuration and proceed with the upgrade?

A network operations team has received a new Juniper router to replace an existing legacy router. The team needs to apply a baseline configuration that includes system settings, interfaces, and security policies. The configuration is provided as a text file containing Junos configuration hierarchy syntax (e.g., 'system { host-name... }'). The engineer connects to the console and sees the prompt 'root@%'. What is the most efficient way to apply the configuration?

Frequently asked questions

What does the troubleshooting domain cover on the JN0-106 exam?
troubleshooting questions test whether you can apply the concept in context, not just recognise a definition.
How many questions are in this domain?
This page lists all 326 troubleshooting questions in the JN0-106 question bank. The actual exam draws from this domain proportionally to its weighting in the official exam blueprint.
What is the best way to practise this domain?
Start with a short focused session (10 questions) to identify gaps, then work through explanations. Repeat with a longer session once the weak areas feel solid.
Can I practise only troubleshooting questions?
Yes — the session launcher on this page filters questions to this domain only. Choose any session length for inline explanations and scoring.
