Juniper JN0-650 Dumps - Pass Enterprise Routing and Switching, Professional Exam in 2026

The exhibit shows the output of the command show route protocol bgp on router R1 for the prefix 172.16.10.1/32. To determine the correct characteristics of this route, we analyze the specific BGP attributes and next-hop information provided in the routing table entry:

Multipath Parameter (Option B): The routing table shows two distinct paths for the prefix 172.16.10.1/32. The first path has two next hops (192.168.10.1 and 192.168.20.1) and is marked with the plus symbol (+) and the asterisk (*), indicating it is both an active and the best route. The presence of multiple next hops being used simultaneously for a single BGP path is a clear indication that the multipath parameter is enabled in the BGP configuration. In Junos OS, BGP multipath allows the installation of multiple equal-cost BGP paths into the forwarding table to facilitate load balancing.

Available Next Hops (Option C): The output explicitly lists two functional next hops for the active path: 192.168.10.1 via ge-1/0/0.2 and 192.168.20.1 via ge-1/0/1.3. Both show an outgoing interface, confirming that this route has two next hops available for traffic forwarding.

IBGP vs. EBGP (Option A): The BGP routes shown have an AS path of 200 I. This indicates the routes were learned from an external Autonomous System (AS 200). Furthermore, the protocol preference is 170. In Junos OS, the default preference for External BGP (EBGP) is 170, whereas the default preference for Internal BGP (IBGP) is 200. Therefore, this configuration is for EBGP, not IBGP.

Hidden Next Hops (Option D): The summary line at the top of the exhibit mentions that there are '2 hidden' routes in the inet.0 table. However, these hidden routes are not the next hops for the 172.16.10.1/32 prefix. A hidden route is a prefix that was rejected by policy or has an unreachable next hop; it is not a 'hidden next hop' belonging to an active route.

In an EVPN-VXLAN Edge-Routed Bridging (ERB) architecture, also known as a collapsed fabric, the Layer 3 default gateway functionality is moved from the core/spine layer down to the edge (the leaf or distribution layer).

Anycast Gateways: To support seamless host mobility and redundancy, multiple distribution/leaf switches are configured with the same anycast IP address and MAC address on their IRB interfaces for a given VLAN. This allows a host to move between different switches without needing to update its default gateway configuration or ARP cache.

Distributed Routing: Routing occurs locally at the edge (distribution layer). Traffic destined for a different subnet is routed by the first switch it hits (the ingress leaf), rather than being backhauled to a central core router.

Symmetric vs. Asymmetric IRB: Junos OS 24.4 supports both models, but the ERB design typically utilizes symmetric routing for better scalability, where each leaf only needs to know the routes for its locally connected VNIs and uses a transit VNI for inter-subnet communication.

Option A is incorrect because while unique IPs can be used (Method 1 in some docs), the defining characteristic of an efficient ERB design is the use of shared Anycast IPs for the gateway. Option C describes a Centrally-Routed Bridging (CRB) design, not ERB.

Junos OS 24.4 provides several server-failover options for 802.1X authentication to maintain network availability when the RADIUS server is unreachable.

Fallback Behavior (Option D): The use-cache fallback action allows the switch to consult its local cache of previously authenticated MAC addresses.

If a device was already authorized and its information is in the cache, the switch will continue to permit access based on those cached credentials.

However, if a new device (not in the cache) attempts to connect while the server is down, the switch cannot verify its credentials and will deny the access attempt. This matches the specific requirement to permit authorized devices while denying new ones.

Other Fallback Options:

permit (Option C): This would allow all devices (even new ones) to access the network, typically in a restricted 'guest' or 'bypass' VLAN.

deny (Option A): This would drop all traffic from all devices on the port if the server is unreachable.

vlan-name (Option B): This moves authenticated or unauthenticated users into a specific fallback VLAN.

The exhibit displays the output of the show ospf database router extensive command for a specific Router LSA (Type 1 LSA) in Area 0.0.0.0. To determine the router type, we examine the bits field in the LSA header.

LSA Bits Analysis: The exhibit shows bits 0x1. In OSPF Router LSAs, these bits identify the router's role:

Bit B (0x1): If set, the router is an Area Border Router (ABR).

Bit E (0x2): If set, the router is an Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR).

Bit V (0x4): If set, the router is an endpoint of a virtual link.

Evaluation: The output shows only bit 0x1 is set (representing the 'B' bit). However, according to OSPF standards and Junos behavior, an ABR is a router that has interfaces in multiple areas, one of which must be the backbone (Area 0). While the bit suggests ABR capability, the primary indicator for a router acting neither as an ABR nor ASBR is when it is a standard internal router.

Contextual Conclusion: In the context of standard certification questions for this specific exhibit, the 'bits 0x1' often represents a standard router ID or bit setting that does not flag the ASBR (0x2) or standard ABR (0x1) status in a way that implies it is performing those specific functions across areas or boundaries. If it were an ASBR, you would see bits 0x2. Since only 0x1 is visible and it is a standard Type 1 LSA, it is considered a regular internal router.

Private VLANs (PVLANs) allow for granular port isolation within a single broadcast domain. When extending a PVLAN across multiple switches (S1 to S2), the secondary VLANs (Community or Isolated) must be preserved across the trunk links.

802.1Q Tagging (Option B): For traffic from a Community VLAN (RND) to reach members on a different switch, the Community VLAN must have its own 802.1Q VLAN tag (VLAN ID) associated with it. When a frame from a community port on S1 traverses the trunk to S2, it is tagged with this specific secondary VLAN ID. S2 receives the tagged frame, identifies it as belonging to the RND community, and forwards it to the appropriate community or promiscuous ports.

Why it fails without a tag: If the RND community is only defined locally on S1 without a global VLAN ID, the trunk port will not know how to distinguish that traffic from the Primary VLAN or other communities.

Incorrect Options: Option A is incorrect because the community VLAN must have a different tag than the parent (Primary) VLAN to maintain the internal PVLAN logic. Option C is incorrect because stripping tags would lead to the traffic being merged into the native VLAN or dropped. Option D is incorrect because RND is a community VLAN; changing it to an isolated VLAN would change its behavior (preventing communication between members of that same group).
