JNCIS-ENT Layer 2 Switching And VLANs Practice Question

You are configuring multiple VLANs on an EX Series switch and wish to set the aging time for learned MAC addresses to 600 seconds. Where is this parameter configured?

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

[edit ethernet-switching-options mac-table aging-time 600]

MAC table aging time in Junos is configured under the [edit bridge-options] or [edit ethernet-switching-options] hierarchy depending on the platform.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • [edit vlans default ageing-timer 600]

    Why it's wrong here

    Ageing timer is not configured per-VLAN under the [edit vlans] hierarchy.

  • [edit protocols l2-learning aging-time 600]

    Why it's wrong here

    L2-learning parameters are configured under switching options, not standard routing protocols.

  • [edit system mac-address-table aging-time 600]

    Why it's wrong here

    The system hierarchy does not contain Layer 2 switching table timers.

  • [edit ethernet-switching-options mac-table aging-time 600]

    Why this is correct

    Correct. Ethernet-switching options govern MAC table aging behavior globally on EX switches.
