Juniper JN0-363 - Service Provider Routing and Switching, Specialist (JNCIS-SP)

In a service provider MPLS network, P routers are interior routers that are used to transit MPLS-labeled packets between edge routers but do not attach or remove MPLS labels themselves. These routers are also referred to as transit routers. They are neither ingress nor egress routers (which are typically labeled as PE routers).

Referring to the configuration in the exhibit, R1 is set to export the 3rd_Policy to the neighbor at 192.168.1.5. Since 3rd_Policy permits the 10.200.3.0/24 prefix, only that prefix will be advertised to the neighbor.

https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/junos/static-routing/topics/topic-map/static-route-prefer-qualified-next-hop.html: Qualified next hops allow you to associate one or more properties with a particular next-hop address. You can set an overall preference for a particular static route and then specify a different preference for the qualified next hop. For example, suppose two next-hop addresses (10.10.10.10 and 10.10.10.7) are associated with the static route 192.168.47.5/32. A general preference is assigned to the entire static route, and then a different preference is assigned to only the qualified next-hop address 10.10.10.7. For example:

The qualified-next-hop statement with a static route is used to specify multiple next hops for a static route with different preferences (priorities). This allows for more granular control over the path selection process in the event that the primary next hop becomes unreachable.

When deploying Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs), it is necessary for all ports in the LAG to operate at the same speed to ensure consistent performance and avoid issues with load balancing. Multi-Chassis LAG (MC-LAG) allows for the use of member links that span multiple physical devices, offering redundancy and higher bandwidth by combining the links from two separate devices into a single logical LAG.

When you want to advertise an interface in OSPF but not form an OSPF adjacency over that interface (for example, towards an ISP), you can configure the interface as passive. This will advertise the network on the interface in OSPF without sending OSPF hello packets or forming OSPF neighbor relationships on that interface.

IS-IS is a link-state routing protocol that uses a Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm to create a topology map of the network. It floods link-state advertisements (LSAs) to all nodes within the network area to ensure each node has a consistent view of the network topology.

You can see area 0.0.0.1 set for one interface and area 0.0.0.0 for the other interface. This means the router communicates in the backbone and area 1, thus it is an ABR.

Default hello timer and dead intervals are configured

hello-interval—Specifies the length of time, in seconds, before the routing device sends a hello packet out of an interface. By default, the routing device sends hello packets every 10 seconds. The range is from 1 through 255 seconds.

dead-interval—Specifies the length of time, in seconds, that the routing device waits before declaring that a neighboring routing device is unavailable. This is an interval during which the routing device receives no hello packets from the neighbor. By default, the routing device waits 40 seconds (four times the hello interval). The range is 1 through 65,535 seconds.

C. The R2 device is shown as having interfaces in two different OSPF areas (Area 0 and another area not specified), which makes it an Area Border Router (ABR).

D. The OSPF hello and dead intervals are set to their default values of 10 and 40 seconds, respectively.
