An administrator implements a security policy that references a custom application matching UDP port 5000. When reviewing active traffic, packets on UDP port 5000 are being dropped even though a policy permits the custom application. Upon further inspection, you find that Junos AppID has classified the traffic as 'unknown-udp'. Why is the policy not matching?

A.The source zone does not have host-inbound-traffic enabled for UDP.
B.UDP traffic cannot be matched by security policies and requires stateless filters.
C.Global policies always block custom applications by default.
D.The custom application definition lacks the correct port mapping or signature definition required for AppID to correlate the traffic.
AnswerD

Correct. Custom applications must be properly mapped to ports or signatures so AppID can recognize them.

Why this answer

If AppID classifies traffic as 'unknown-udp' and the policy specifies a specific custom application instead of a generic port service, the match fails. Alternatively, custom applications require proper signature or port mapping.

An administrator configures Source NAT for an internal subnet. After committing the changes, users report that they can access external websites via IP addresses, but domain name resolution (DNS) is failing. Investigation shows DNS UDP port 53 traffic is being blocked or failing NAT translation. What is the most likely reason?

A.Source NAT automatically disables DNS Application Layer Gateways (ALGs), causing DNS packets to be dropped.
B.Security policies do not permit UDP port 53 (DNS) traffic between the source and destination zones.
C.Source NAT pools strip UDP port headers, preventing DNS responses from matching.
D.DNS traffic requires Static NAT and cannot traverse Source NAT pools.
AnswerB

NAT performs address translation, but traffic must still be explicitly permitted by security policies. If DNS is blocked, security policies are the primary suspect.

Why this answer

If DNS is failing after source NAT configuration, ensure that security policies permit UDP port 53 outbound from the trust zone to the untrust zone, and that NAT rules do not inadvertently exclude or drop DNS traffic applications.

You are configuring a security policy that needs to reference an address prefix that includes both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. How should you handle this in Junos OS security address books?

A.Combine IPv4 and IPv6 addresses into a single address entry string separated by a comma.
B.Define separate address book entries for IPv4 and IPv6, as address entries are specific to an IP version.
C.Configure the address book under the [edit security inet6] hierarchy only.
D.Use dual-stack address translation objects.
AnswerB

Correct. Junos address book entries specify IP prefixes that are either IPv4 or IPv6.

Why this answer

Address books can contain both IPv4 and IPv6 entries, but separate address entries or matching structures are typically defined per IP family within the address book.

An administrator configures a security policy with the action set to 'reject'. Another policy uses the action 'deny'. What is the functional difference between these two actions when a packet matches the policy?

A.'reject' drops the packet silently, whereas 'deny' sends an ICMP unreachable message.
B.'reject' sends an ICMP unreachable message back to the packet source, whereas 'deny' silently drops the packet.
C.'reject' logs the event to the system log, whereas 'deny' suppresses all logging.
D.'reject' requires stateful session tracking, whereas 'deny' is applied statelessly.
AnswerB

Correct. 'reject' sends a notification back, while 'deny' silently drops.

Why this answer

The 'reject' action sends an ICMP unreachable message back to the source, whereas 'deny' (drop) silently discards the packet.

Which TWO situations will cause a newly committed security policy to fail to match expected transit traffic? (Choose two.)

Select 3 answers
A.The Junos routing engine is configured in packet mode instead of flow mode.
B.The policy hit count counter is disabled in the action clause.
C.The transit interfaces involved are assigned to different security zones than those specified in the policy's source and destination zone pair.
D.A broader policy placed earlier in the evaluation order matches and captures the traffic first.
E.The address book entries referenced in the policy use IPv6 addresses while the transit traffic is IPv4.
AnswersC, D, E

Correct. Zone mismatch prevents policy matching.

Why this answer

Traffic will fail to match if interfaces are in incorrect zones or if the policy is shadowed by an earlier broad rule.

An administrator configures an address book with an address object using the DNS name of a remote server instead of an IP address. How does Junos OS handle DNS-based address objects in security policies?

A.Junos rejects DNS names in address books because security policies require static IP subnets.
B.DNS names are only resolved once when the device boots up or when the configuration is committed.
C.DNS-based address objects require AppSecure licenses to function.
D.Junos resolves the FQDN to IP addresses dynamically and updates the policy match criteria accordingly.
AnswerD

FQDN address objects in Junos resolve domain names to IPs dynamically for policy enforcement.

Why this answer

Junos OS supports DNS-based address objects (fqdn) where the SRX periodically resolves the domain name to IP addresses and updates the security policy match table dynamically.

You are reviewing a Junos configuration containing both Destination NAT and Static NAT. An incoming packet matches both a Destination NAT rule and a Static NAT rule. Based on Junos OS NAT processing architecture, how is this conflict handled?

A.The SRX device generates a syntax error upon commit if overlapping Destination and Static NAT rules exist.
B.Both translations are applied simultaneously, resulting in double destination translation.
C.Destination NAT is evaluated first; if a match occurs, the packet is translated by Destination NAT and subsequent NAT stages are skipped for that transformation stage.
D.Static NAT takes precedence over Destination NAT because it provides a bidirectional mapping.
AnswerC

Since Destination NAT is evaluated before Static NAT in the processing sequence, the matching Destination NAT rule takes precedence.

Why this answer

Junos OS evaluates Destination NAT first and Static NAT last. However, within distinct processing pipelines, a packet is evaluated against rule sets in order. Destination NAT rule-sets are evaluated before Static NAT rule-sets.

If a packet matches a Destination NAT rule, that NAT is applied and evaluation for that stage finishes.
