JN0-106 user account configuration Practice Question
Order the steps to configure a user account with a password in Junos.
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates erroneously think that the order of class and authentication matters, but Junos does not enforce a specific order; both sequences work as long as all parameters are configured before commit.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set the class (set system login user <name> class <class>), then set the authentication method to plain-text-password (set system login user <name> authentication plain-text-password), then commit the configuration.
The correct order to configure a user account in Junos involves setting both the class and authentication before committing. Options A and B are both valid sequences because the order of setting the class and authentication does not matter; the configuration is applied only upon commit. Option C is wrong because committing before setting the authentication leaves the user without a password. Option D is wrong because committing before setting the class results in an incomplete user configuration with no privilege level.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Set the class (set system login user <name> class <class>), then set the authentication method to plain-text-password (set system login user <name> authentication plain-text-password), then commit the configuration.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order. First, set the class to define the user's privilege level. Then, set the authentication method to plain-text-password, which will prompt for a password. Finally, commit to apply the configuration.
- ✓
Set the authentication method to plain-text-password first, then set the class, then commit the configuration.
Why this is correct
This order is incorrect. Setting authentication before class is not a supported sequence in Junos; the user must first have a class assigned. Attempting to set authentication without a class may result in an error or ineffective configuration.
- ✗
Set the class, commit the configuration, then set the authentication method to plain-text-password.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because committing before setting authentication leaves the user without a password, making it impossible to log in.
- ✗
Set the authentication method to plain-text-password, commit the configuration, then set the class.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because committing before setting the class results in an incomplete user configuration; the user would not have a privilege level.
