Explanation
The maximum allowable MTU size for a default GRE tunnel without IPv4 traffic fragmentation is 1476 bytes1. This is because GRE packets are formed by the addition of the original packets and the required GRE headers1. These headers are 24-bytes in length and since these headers are added to the original frame, depending on the original size of the packet we may run into IP MTU problems1. The most common IP MTU is 1500-bytes in length (Ethernet)1. When the tunnel is created, it deducts the 24-bytes it needs to encapsulate the passenger protocols and that is the IP MTU it will use1. For example, if we are forming a tunnel over FastEthernet (IP MTU 1500)the IOS calculates the IP MTU on the tunnel as: 1500-bytes from Ethernet –
24-bytes for the GRE encapsulation = 1476-Bytes1.

Explanation
Redundant Trunk Groups (RTGs) on EX Series switches provide a simple solution for network recovery when a trunk port on a switch goes down1. They are configured on the access switch and contain two links: a primary or active link, and a secondary link1. Therefore, option B is correct because if the active link fails, the secondary link automatically starts forwarding data traffic without waiting for normal spanning-tree protocol convergence1.
Option D is also correct. In a typical enterprise network composed of distribution and access layers, RTGs are used where one Access switch is connected to two different uplink switches2. This implies that RTGs must be connected to the same aggregation switch2.

Explanation
The two reasons for the failure to form an adjacency in a network running IS-IS could be:
B: There is no configured ISO address on any IS-IS interface. IS-IS requires each router interface to have an ISO address configured. Without this address, the routers cannot form an adjacency1.
D: The family iso configuration is missing from the adjacency interface. The ‘family iso’ configuration is essential for IS-IS to function correctly. If this configuration is missing from the adjacency interface, it could prevent the formation of an adjacency1.
These explanations are based on the Enterprise Routing and Switching Specialist (JNCIS-ENT) documents and learning resources available at Juniper Networks23.

Explanation
Aggregate routes are used for advertising summarized network prefixes12. They help minimize the number of routing tables in an IP network by consolidating selected multiple routes into a single route advertisement1. This approach is in contrast to non-aggregation routing, in which every routing table contains a unique entry for each route1.
Therefore, option D is correct. Options A, B, and C are not correct because:
Aggregate routes can be used with both static routing and dynamic routing protocols1.
Aggregate routes are not automatically generated for all of the subnets in a routing table. They need to be manually configured1.
Aggregate routes are not always preferred over more specific routes. The route selection process in Junos OS considers several factors, including route preference and metric, before determining the active route1.

Explanation
A RIB group is a configuration that allows a routing protocol to install routes into multiple routing tables in Junos OS. A RIB group consists of an import-rib statement,which specifies the source routing table, and an export-rib statement, which specifies the destination routing table or group. A RIB group can also include an import-policy statement, which specifies one or more policies to control which routes are imported into the destination routing table or group1.
An import policy is a policy statement that defines the criteria for accepting or rejecting routes from the source routing table. An import policy can also modify the attributes of the imported routes, such as preference, metric, or community. An import policy can be applied to a RIB group by using the import-policy statement under the [edit routing-options rib-groups] hierarchy level1.
Therefore, option A is correct, because an import policy is applied to the RIB group to control which routes are installed in the destination routing table or group. Option B is incorrect, because all routes in the source routing table are imported into the destination routing table or group, unless filtered by an import policy.
Option C is incorrect, because a firewall filter is not used to install routes in the RIB groups; a firewall filter is used to filter packets based on various criteria. Option D is incorrect, because an export policy is not applied to the RIB group; an export policy is applied to a routing protocol to control which routes are advertised to other devices.

Explanation
A: On R1, enable Level 1 on the ge-0/0/1 interface. In IS-IS, both levels (Level 1 and Level 2) are enabled by default when you enable IS-IS on an interface1. Level 1 systems route within an area2. If the destination is outside an area, Level 1 systems route toward a Level 2 system2. Therefore, enabling Level 1 on the ge-0/0/1 interface on R1 would allow packets to reach from R1 to R3.
D: On R3 enable Level 1 on the ge-0/0/4 interface Similarly, enabling Level 1 on the ge-0/0/4 interface on R3 would allow packets to reach from R1 to R3.
These explanations are based on the IS-IS configuration documents and learning resources available at Juniper Networks1 and Cisco34.

Explanation
In BGP, the path selection process is based on a set of attributes1. The process starts by preferring the path with the highest weight, then the highest local preference, then the locally originated routes, and so on1. If all these attributes are the same, then it prefers the path with the shortest AS path1.
Referring to the exhibit, all four ISPs have the same weight, local preference, and origin1. However, ISP 4 has the shortest AS path1. Therefore, ISP 4 will be selected as the active path. So, option C is correct.

The exhibit shows the configuration of RSTP on EX-4, which has the command force-version stp. This command forces the switch to use the legacy STP protocol instead of RSTP, even though the switch supports RSTP1. This means that EX-4 will not be able to take advantage of the faster convergence and enhanced features of RSTP, such as edge ports, link type, and proposal/agreement sequence2.
The other switches in the network are likely to be running RSTP, as it is the default protocol for EX Series switches3. Therefore, there will be a compatibility issue between EX-4 and the other switches, which will result in longer convergence times and suboptimal performance. The switch will also generate a warning message that says “Warning: STP version mismatch with neighbor” when it receives a BPDU from a RSTP neighbor1.
To solve this problem, the force-version command must be removed from EX-4, so that it can run RSTP natively and interoperate with the other switches in the network. This will enable faster convergence and better stability for the network topology. To remove the command, you can use the delete protocols rstp force-version command in configuration mode1.

Option A is correct. The storm control feature is enabled in the factory-default configuration on EX Series switches12. On EX2200, EX3200, EX3300, EX4200, and EX6200 switches, the factory default configuration enables storm control for broadcast and unknown unicast traffic on all switch interfaces2. On EX4300 switches, the factory default configuration enables storm control on all Layer 2 switch interfaces1.
Option B is incorrect. The storm control feature does not require a special license on EX Series switches34.
Option C is incorrect. There’s no information available that suggests the storm control feature is not supported on aggregate Ethernet interfaces.
Option D is incorrect. The storm control configuration applies to traffic at the ingress of an interface5, not just between the forwarding and control plane.

Explanation
When the MAC address limit feature with the shutdown action is implemented on a switch, if a violation occurs, the interface is disabled and a system log entry is generated1. If the switch has been configured with the port-error-disable statement, the disabled interface recovers automatically upon expiration of the specified disable timeout1. However, if the switch has not been configured for auto-recovery from port error disabled conditions, you must manually clearthe violation by running the clear ethernet-switching port-error command for the interface to send and receive traffic again1. This explanation is based on the Enterprise Routing and Switching Specialist (JNCIS-ENT) documents and learning resources available at Juniper Networks1.

The output shown in the exhibit is a brief display of the Ethernet switching table, which shows the learned Layer 2 MAC addresses for each VLAN and interface1.
The command show ethernet-switching table displays the Ethernet switching table with brief information, such as the destination MAC address, the VLAN name, the forwarding state, and the interface name1.
The command show route forwarding-table displays the routing table information for each protocol family, such as inet, inet6, mpls, iso, and so on2. It does not show the Ethernet switching table or the MAC addresses.
The command show ethernet-switching table extensive displays the Ethernet switching table with extensive information, such as the destination MAC address, the VLAN name, the forwarding state, the interface name, the VLAN index, and the tag type1. It shows more details than the brief output shown in the exhibit.
The command show route forwarding-table family ethernet-switching displays the routing table information for the ethernet-switching protocol family, whichshows the destination MAC address, the next-hop MAC address, and the interface name3. It does not show the VLAN name or the forwarding state.

A is correct because when an OSPF adjacency is established, a router will advertise a connected network to OSPF neighbors. An OSPF adjacency is a logical relationship between two routers that agree to exchange routing information using the OSPF protocol1. To establish an OSPF adjacency, the routers must be in the same area, have compatible parameters, and exchange hello packets1. Once an OSPF adjacency is formed, the routers will exchange database description (DBD) packets, which contain summaries of their link-state databases (LSDBs)1. The LSDBs include information about the connected networks and their costs2. Therefore, when an OSPF adjacency is established, a router will advertise a connected network to OSPF neighbors through DBD packets.
D is correct because when a static route to the 224.0.0.5 address is created, a router will advertise a connected network to OSPF neighbors. The 224.0.0.5 address is the multicast address for all OSPF routers3. A static route to this address can be used to send OSPF hello packets to all OSPF neighbors on a network segment3. This can be useful when the network segment does not support multicast or when the router does not have an IP address on the segment3. When a static route to the 224.0.0.5 address is created, the router will send hello packets to this address and establish OSPF adjacencies with other routers on the segment3. As explained above, once an OSPF adjacency is formed, the router will advertise a connected network to OSPF neighbors through DBD packets.

Explanation
A keepalive OAM probe is a mechanism that can be used to monitor the state of a GRE tunnel and detect any failures in the tunnel path. A keepalive OAM probe consists of sending periodic packets from one end of the tunnel to the other and expecting a reply. If no reply is received within a specified time, the tunnel is considered down and the line protocol of the tunnel interface is changed to down1.
To configure a keepalive OAM probe for a GRE tunnel, you need to specify two parameters: the keepalive-time and the hold-time. The keepalive-time is the interval between each keepalive packet sent by the local router. The hold-time is the maximum time that the local router waits for a reply from the remote router before declaring the tunnel down2.
According to the Juniper Networks documentation, the hold-time value must be two times the keepalive-time value for a GRE tunnel2. This is because the hold-time value must account for both the round-trip time of the keepalive packet and the processing time of the remote router. If the hold-time value is too small, it may cause false positives and unnecessary tunnel flaps.
In the exhibit, the configuration shows that the keepalive-time is set to 10 seconds and the hold-time is set to
15 seconds for the gr-1/1/10.1 interface. This means that the local router will send a keepalive packet every 10 seconds and will wait for 15 seconds for a reply from the remote router. However, this hold-time value is not two times the keepalive-time value, which violates the recommended configuration. This may cause traffic drops if the remote router takes longer than 15 seconds to reply.
Therefore, option D is correct, because the hold-time value must be two times the keepalive-time value for a GRE tunnel. Option A is incorrect, because BFD is not required for GRE tunnels; BFD is another protocol that can be used to monitor tunnels, but it is not compatible with GRE keepalives3. Option B is incorrect, because the “event link-adjacency-loss” option is not related to GRE tunnels; it is an option that can be used to trigger an action when a link goes down4. Option C is incorrect, because LLDP does not need to be removed from the gr-1/1/10.1 interface; LLDP is a protocol that can be used to discover neighboring devices and their capabilities, but it does not interfere with GRE tunnels5.

A is correct because the interface is configured as a disabled port. A disabled port does not forward any traffic, including DHCP packets. Therefore, DHCP snooping cannot learn any MAC addresses or lease information from a disabled port1.
C is correct because the interface is configured as a trunk port. By default, all trunk ports on the switch are trusted for DHCP snooping2. This means that DHCP snooping does not inspect or filter any DHCP packets received on a trunk port. Therefore, DHCP snooping does not add any entries to the snooping database for a trunk port2.

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 LAN1. The DR election process is based on the following criteria, in order of precedence1:
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 fails1.

Option B is correct. Filter-based forwarding (FBF), also known as Policy Based Routing (PBR), uses the forwarding routing instance type12.
Option C is correct. Routing Information Base (RIB) groups are used to copy routes from one routing table to another34. In the context of FBF, RIB groups can be used to copy routes from the inet.0 routing table34.
Option A is incorrect. FBF does not use the no-forwarding routing instance type15.
Option D is incorrect. RIB groups are not used to hide routes in the inet.0 routing table34. They are used to share or copy routes between different routing tables34.

Explanation
Option A is correct. Creating multiple areas in OSPF can help to reduce the convergence time . This is because changes in one area do not affect other areas, so fewer routers need to run the SPF algorithm in response to a change.
Option D is correct. Creating multiple areas in OSPF can help to reduce Link State Advertisement (LSA) flooding across the network. This is because LSAs are not flooded out of their area of origin.

The exhibit shows the output of the command show vlans brief, which displays brief information about VLANs and their associated interfaces1.
The output has four columns: Routing instance, VLAN name, Interfaces, and Tagging.
The * symbol indicates that the interface is active, meaning that it is up and forwarding traffic1. This can be verified by the command , which displays the status of the interfaces2.

A broadcast storm is a network condition where a large number of broadcast packets are sent and received by multiple devices, causing congestion and performance degradation1. A broadcast storm can occur when there are loops in the network topology, meaning that there are multiple paths between two devices2.
A spanning tree protocol is a network protocol that prevents loops from being formed when switches or bridges are interconnected via multiple paths. It does this by creating a logical tree structure that spans all the devices in the network, and disabling or blocking the links that are not part of the tree, leaving a single active path between any two devices3.
By eliminating loops, a spanning tree protocol also eliminates broadcast storms, as broadcast packets will not be forwarded endlessly along the looped paths. Instead, broadcast packets will be sent only along the tree structure, reaching each device once and avoiding congestion3.

Explanation
In a Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) topology, the root bridge is determined by the switch with the lowest bridge priority value12. If all switches have the same priority, then the root bridge is assigned to the switch whose MAC address’s hex value is the lowest2. The default bridge priority value is 3276832. However, without the actual exhibit, it’s difficult to definitively determine which device is the root bridge. But based on the options provided, if we assume that the local device has a lower bridge priority or a lower MAC address than other devices in the network, then it could be considered as the root bridge for this RSTP topology45.
