Pass the Juniper JNCIS-ENT JN0-351 Questions and answers with Dumpstech

On Juniper switches, the default VLAN is set to a VLAN ID of 1 by default 1 2 .  This means that all interfaces on the switch are members of VLAN 1 until they are specifically assigned to another VLAN 1 2 . Therefore, option A is correct.

The default VLAN ID can be changed 1 2 .  This allows network administrators to configure the switch to use a different VLAN as the default, if necessary 1 2 . Therefore, option D is correct.

According to the OSPF protocol, the designated router (DR) is the router that acts as the focal point for exchanging routing information on a multi-access network segment, such as a LAN 1 .  The DR election process is based on the following criteria, in order of precedence 1 :

The router with the highest OSPF priority becomes the DR. The default priority is 1, and a priority of 0 means the router will not participate in the election.

If there is a tie in priority, the router with the highest router ID becomes the DR. The router ID is a 32-bit number that uniquely identifies a router in an OSPF domain. It can be manually configured or automatically derived from the highest IP address of a loopback interface or a physical interface.

If there is a tie in router ID, the router that was first to become an OSPF neighbor becomes the DR.

In your scenario, two routers share the same highest priority and start time. This means that they have equal chances of becoming the DR based on the first and third criteria. Therefore, the second criterion will be used to break the tie, which is the router ID.  The router with the highest router ID will become the DR, and the other router will become the backup designated router (BDR), which is ready to take over the role of DR if it fails 1 .

The routers that are directly connected to the Dallas and Denver subnets are not advertising the connected subnets.  This can be resolved by redistributing the connected subnets into OSPF 1 .

Option C suggests to configure and apply a routing policy that redistributes the connected Dallas and Denver subnets.  This is correct because redistribution allows routes from one routing protocol to be communicated to another, and in this case, it allows the connected subnets to be advertised through OSPF 1 .

Option D suggests enabling the passive option on the OSPF interfaces that are connected to the Dallas and Denver subnets.  This is also correct because in OSPF, a passive interface is an interface that belongs to the OSPF router, but does not send OSPF Hello packets 1 .  It’s typically used on an interface that you don’t want to use for OSPF adjacencies, but you still want to advertise its IP address 1 . Therefore, enabling passive interface can help in advertising the Dallas and Denver subnets.

A route reflector is a BGP router that is allowed to break the iBGP loop avoidance rule and advertise routes received from an iBGP peer to another iBGP peer under specific conditions 1 .  A route reflector can have three types of peerings: EBGP neighbor, IBGP client neighbor, and IBGP non-client neighbor 2 .  A cluster is a group of route reflectors and their clients that are fully meshed 3 .  The cluster ID is a 4-byte value that identifies the route reflector cluster and is carried in the ORIGINATOR_ID attribute of the BGP update message 4 . The cluster ID is used to prevent routing loops among route reflectors and their clients.  If a route reflector receives a route with its own cluster ID, it discards the route 5 . Therefore, the cluster ID is required to prevent routing loops when using route reflectors.

A tunnel is a connection between two computer networks, in which data is sent from one network to another through an encrypted link. Tunnels are commonly used to secure data communications between two networks or to connect two networks that use different protocols.

Option B is correct, because tunnel endpoints must have a valid route to the remote tunnel endpoint. A tunnel endpoint is the device that initiates or terminates a tunnel connection. For a tunnel to be established, both endpoints must be able to reach each other over the underlying network.  This means that they must have a valid route to the IP address of the remote endpoint 1 .

Option D is correct, because tunnels add additional overhead to packet size. Tunnels work by encapsulating packets: wrapping packets inside of other packets. This means that the original packet becomes the payload of the surrounding packet, and the surrounding packet has its own header and trailer. The header and trailer of the surrounding packet add extra bytes to the packet size, which is called overhead.  Overhead can reduce the efficiency and performance of a network, as it consumes more bandwidth and processing power 2 .

Option A is incorrect, because BFD can be used to monitor tunnels. BFD is a protocol that can be used to quickly detect failures in the forwarding path between two adjacent routers or switches. BFD can be integrated with various routing protocols and link aggregation protocols to provide faster convergence and fault recovery. BFD can also be used to monitor the connectivity of tunnels, such as GRE, IPsec, or MPLS.

Option C is incorrect, because IP-IP tunnels are stateless. IP-IP tunnels are a type of tunnels that use IP as both the encapsulating and encapsulated protocol. IP-IP tunnels are simple and easy to configure, but they do not provide any security or authentication features. IP-IP tunnels are stateless, which means that they do not keep track of the state or status of the tunnel connection. Stateless tunnels do not require any signaling or negotiation between the endpoints, but they also do not provide any error detection or recovery mechanisms.

An ISO NET address is a type of network address used by the IS-IS routing protocol.  It identifies a point of connection to the network, such as a router interface, and is also called a Network Service Access Point (NSAP) 1 .

An ISO NET address consists of three parts: an area ID, a system ID, and a selector 2 . The area ID identifies the IS-IS area to which the device belongs. The system ID uniquely identifies the device within the area.  The selector identifies a specific service or function on the device, such as routing or management 2 .

An ISO NET address must be unique for each device in the network, because it is used by IS-IS to establish adjacencies, exchange routing information, and compute shortest paths 2 . If two devices have the same ISO NET address, they will not be able to communicate with each other or with other devices in the network. Therefore, it is important to assign different ISO NET addresses to each device in the network.

The exhibit shows the output of the command  show ospf neighbor , which displays information about the OSPF neighbors on a router 1 .

The output shows that the OSPF neighbor with the address 172.26.1.1 and the interface ge-0/0/3.0 is in the Exstart state 1 .

The Exstart state is the fourth state in the OSPF neighbor formation process, after Down, Init, and 2-Way states 2 .  In this state, the OSPF neighbors establish a master-slave relationship and exchange database description (DBD) packets, which contain summaries of their link-state databases 2 .

The most common reason for OSPF neighbors to be stuck in the Exstart state is an MTU mismatch between the interfaces 3 .  MTU stands for maximum transmission unit, which is the largest size of a packet that can be transmitted on a network segment 4 .  If the MTU values of two OSPF neighbors are different, they may not be able to exchange DBD packets successfully, as some packets may be dropped or fragmented due to their size exceeding the MTU limit 3 .

To solve this problem, you need to ensure that the MTU values of both OSPF neighbors are the same or compatible.  You can use the command  show interfaces  to display the MTU value of an interface 5 . You can also use the command  ping  with the  do-not-fragment  option to test the MTU size between two routers.  You can change the MTU value of an interface by using the command  set interfaces interface-name mtu mtu-value  in configuration mode 5 .
