OSPFv2 (IPv4) and OSPFv3 (IPv6) share many fundamental concepts, such as the SPF algorithm and the use of areas, but they have distinct differences in how they handle prefix information and LSA headers in Junos OS.

Backbone Requirement (Option C):Both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 utilize a hierarchical structure. In both versions, all areas must connect to a centralArea 0 (the backbone)to allow for inter-area routing. If an area is not physically connected to Area 0, a virtual link must be established.

Flooding Scope (Option D):One of the significant architectural changes in OSPFv3 is the inclusion of theflooding scopedirectly into the LSA header. In OSPFv3, the LS Type field is expanded to 16 bits, where the top three bits define the flooding scope (e.g., Link-local, Area, or AS scope). This allows routers to understand how far an LSA should be propagated without needing to understand the specific LSA type itself.

LSA Prefix Information (Option A):This statement is misleading. In OSPFv2, Router and Network LSAs (Type 1 and 2) carry both topology and prefix information. However, a key design goal of OSPFv3 was toseparatetopology from prefix information. In OSPFv3, Type 1 and 2 LSAs only describe the topology, while prefixes are carried in new LSA types:Intra-Area-Prefix-LSAs(Type 9) andLink-LSAs(Type 8).

Processing (Option B):OSPFv2 is processed "per-subnet" because it forms adjacencies based on IPv4 subnets. OSPFv3 is processed"per-link", meaning it forms adjacencies between interfaces on the same physical link regardless of whether they share a common IPv6 prefix.

When a peer incorrectly floods your router with an excessive number of routes, it can exhaust system resources and crash the routing engine.

Prefix-Limit (Option B):The prefix-limit (or accepted-prefix-limit) parameter is the primary defense against such "route leaks".

You can set amaximum thresholdfor the number of prefixes allowed from a specific BGP neighbor or group.

When the limit is reached, Junos can be configured to either just log a warning ortear down the BGP sessionentirely (using the teardown keyword) to protect the router.

This prevents the "hundreds of thousand routes" from ever being fully processed or installed into the main routing table.

Damping (Option A):Damping is used to suppress unstable, "flapping" routes, but it does not limit the total volume of stable routes received.

The exhibit shows a network topology whereMultiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP)is used to dynamically manage VLANs across switches Core-1, Access-1, and Access-2.

Identifying the Missing Configuration:According to the diagram, the trunk link betweenCore-1andAccess-2uses interfacege-0/0/16.0on the Core-1 side.

Output Analysis:However, the show protocols mvrp output for Core-1 only lists interfaces ge-0/0/14.0 and ge-0/0/15.0.

MVRP Requirements:For MVRP to successfully propagate VLAN information between Access-2 and the rest of the network, the protocol must be enabled on every trunk interface in the path.

Solution:Becausege-0/0/16.0is missing from the Core-1 MVRP configuration, VLAN registration messages from Access-2 are not being processed by Core-1. Configuring this interface under MVRP on Core-1 will solve the communication problem.

Junos OS uses specific routing tables for handling multicast traffic to ensure loop prevention through Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) checks:

Multicast RPF (Option C):Theinet.0table is the default unicast routing table. In most standard multicast deployments, Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) performs itsRPF checksagainst this table to determine the upstream interface toward the multicast source.

Topology Differences (Option A):Theinet.2table is specifically designed for multicast RPF lookups when themulticast forwarding topology differsfrom the unicast forwarding topology. This is common in environments using Multiprotocol BGP (MBGP) where you might want multicast traffic to follow a different path than standard data traffic.

inet.1 Role (Option B):Theinet.1table is themulticast forwarding cache. It stores (S,G) and (*,G) entries for actual packet forwarding. Routing protocols like MBGP or IS-IS do not place routesdirectlyinto inet.1; instead, PIM uses information from inet.0 or inet.2 to populate inet.1.

IS-IS and OSPFv3 (Option D):These protocols place their IPv4/IPv6 unicast routes into inet.0 or inet6.0. They do not place routes into inet.2 "directly" unless specific RIB-group configurations or address families are enabled to share those routes for multicast RPF purposes.

In a standard Layer 2 switch environment without specific multicast optimizations, multicast traffic is treated similarly to broadcast traffic and isflooded out of all portswithin a VLAN (except the port where it was received). This is inefficient as it consumes unnecessary bandwidth on ports where no receivers are present.

To optimize this,IGMP Snoopingis the standard solution.

How it works:The switch "snoops" or monitors IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) messages between hosts and routers.

Result:When a receiver sends an IGMP Membership Report (Join) for a specific multicast group, the switch records which port that request came from. It then builds a Layer 2 multicast forwarding table so that traffic for that group isonly forwardedto the specific ports that have active listeners.

Junos OS 24.4 Configuration:On modern Juniper switches, you enable this globally or per VLAN using the set protocols igmp-snooping vlan command.

Option A (Promiscuous mode)is used for monitoring or specific security configurations (like Private VLANs) and would not limit multicast flooding.Option B (Spanning Tree)manages loop prevention and does not differentiate between traffic types for forwarding optimization.Option D (IRB interface)is used for Layer 3 routing between VLANs but does not inherently provide Layer 2 multicast optimization within a single VLAN.

OSPF determines the best path to a destination by calculating themetric (cost)of each link. By default, Junos OS uses areference bandwidthof100 Mbpsto calculate this cost using the formula:

When the reference bandwidth is left at the default 100 Mbps, any interface with a speed of 100 Mbps or higher (including 1 GbE and 10 GbE) is assigned a cost of1because the minimum OSPF cost is 1. This results in equal-cost paths, preventing the router from preferring the faster 10 GbE link.

To ensure 10 GbE interfaces are preferred, you must create a cost differential:

Option A (Reference Bandwidth):By increasing the reference bandwidth to10G(or higher), the calculation changes. For a 10 GbE link, the cost becomes $10,000 / 10,000 = 1$. For a 1 GbE link, the cost becomes $10,000 / 1,000 = 10$. Since OSPF prefers the path with thelowest cumulative cost, the 10 GbE link is now preferred.

Option D (Manual Metric):You can manually override the automatic cost calculation by assigning a higher metric specifically to the 1 GbE interfaces. If a 1 GbE interface is manually set to a cost of 50 and the 10 GbE interface remains at 1 (or is set to a lower value), the router will prioritize the 10 GbE path.

Option Bis incorrect because a higher metric makes a pathlesspreferred.Option Cis incorrect because a 1G reference bandwidth would still result in both 1 GbE and 10 GbE interfaces having a cost of 1.

EVPN Route Type 5 (IP Prefix Route) is used to advertise IP prefixes (subnets) between broadcast domains or between VRFs in an EVPN fabric.

IP-VRF-to-IP-VRF (Statement C):In an EVPN-VXLAN architecture, Type 5 routes are primarily used forLayer 3 connectivity. They allow different IP-VRFs on different VTEPs to exchange prefix information directly. This model is widely referred to asIP-VRF-to-IP-VRFrouting because it enables inter-subnet routing at the leaf layer without requiring Layer 2 MAC learning for those specific prefixes.

Overlay Next Hop (Statement B):For a PE router to reach a prefix advertised via a Type 5 route, it must resolve theoverlay next hop. This next hop is typically the loopback IP address of the originating VTEP, which the receiving router uses to build the VXLAN tunnel.

Why others are incorrect:Statement A is incorrect because Type 7 routes are used for IGMP/MLD join synchronization. Statement D is incorrect because Type 5 routes advertise IP prefixes, not MAC addresses; MAC extended communities are associated with Type 2 routes.

This scenario describes a specific use case where a switch port is shared by multiple devices (e.g., via a downstream unmanaged switch), and you want to simplify the authentication process.

Single Supplicant Mode (Option A):In this mode, the switch requires only thefirst devicethat connects to the port to successfully authenticate via 802.1X. Once that first device is authorized, the switch "opens" the port for all traffic. This meansall subsequent devicesattached to that same downstream switch are permitted to access the network without undergoing their own authentication.

Other Modes:

Single-secure supplicant (C):Only allows the first authenticated device; all others are blocked.

Multiple supplicant (D):Requireseverydevice to authenticate individually.

MAC RADIUS (B):This is an authentication method, not a port-control mode.
