Juniper JN0-664 Dumps

To transport IPv6 traffic over an IPv4-based MPLS network using BGP, you need to configure two address families: family inet6 labeled-unicast and family inet6 unicast. The former is used to exchange IPv6 routes with MPLS labels between PE routers, and the latter is used to exchange IPv6 routes without labels between PE and CE routers. The mpis ipv6-tunneling command enables the PE routers to encapsulate the IPv6 packets with an MPLS label stack and an IPv4 header before sending them over the MPLS network.

Prefer the route with the lower origin code. Routes learned from an IGP have a lower origin code than those learned from an exterior gateway protocol (EGP), and both have lower origin codes than incomplete routes (routes whose origin is unknown).

In the exhibit, we see two VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) instances, CE-1 and CE-2, configured on a Juniper router. Each VRF is associated with a route-distinguisher (RD) and a vrf-target value.

Understanding the Role of vrf-target

The vrf-target is used to define Route Targets (RT), which control the import and export of VPN routes in MPLS Layer 3 VPNs (L3VPNs).

If two VRFs share the same RT, they will import each other's routes, allowing communication between them.

In this case, both VRFs have the same vrf-target:

vrf-target target:65512:100;

Since both CE-1 and CE-2 have the same RT (65512:100), they will import and export each other’s routes, enabling route sharing between them.

Understanding route-distinguisher (RD)

The RD (Route Distinguisher) only ensures uniqueness of overlapping IP prefixes within the MPLS network.

It does not control route sharing between VRFs.

In the exhibit, both VRFs have the same RD (65512:1), but this does not influence whether they share routes.

Correct Answer Selection

A (Correct): The vrf-target configuration enables route sharing between CE-1 and CE-2 since they have the same RT (65512:100).

B (Incorrect): The vrf-target does the opposite—it allows sharing, not blocking.

C (Incorrect): The route-distinguisher only provides unique route identification, but does not affect route sharing.

D (Incorrect): Again, route-distinguisher has no impact on route sharing.

Reference from Juniper Official Documentation

✅ Juniper Documentation - Junos MPLS VPNs Configuration Guide:

"Route targets (vrf-target) are used to control the import and export of VPN routes between different VRFs. VRFs with the same route target can import and export routes to each other, enabling inter-VRF communication."

Thus, the correct answer is:

✅ A. The vrf-target configuration will allow routes to be shared between CE-1 and CE-2.

Route reflection is a BGP feature that allows a router to reflect routes learned from one IBGP peer to another IBGP peer, without requiring a full-mesh IBGP topology. Route reflectors do not change any existing BGP attributes by default when advertising routes, unless explicitly configured to do so. A BGP peer does not require any configuration changes to become a route reflector client, only the route reflector needs to be configured with the client parameter under [edit protocols bgp group group-name neighbor neighbor-address] hierarchy level.

In the provided exhibit, the configuration involves using a RIB (Routing Information Base) group to facilitate internet access for VPN-A Site 1 through PE-1. The goal is to provide VRF Internet access over a single connection.

1. **Understanding RIB Groups**:

- RIB groups allow for the import and export of routes between different routing tables.

- In this scenario, we have two RIBs: `inet.0` (the main routing table) and `VPN-A.inet.0` (the VRF-specific routing table).

2. **Statement Analysis**:

- **A. You must use the RIB group to move a default route, which is learned through BGP, from the inet.0 table to the VPN-A.inet.0 table.**

- Correct. To provide Internet access to VPN-A, the default route (0.0.0.0/0) learned via BGP in the `inet.0` table must be made available in the `VPN-A.inet.0` table. This is done using the RIB group to import the default route.

- **B. You do not need to use the RIB group to move interface routes from the inet.0 table to the VPN-A.inet.0 table.**

- Correct. Interface routes (connected routes) are typically directly added to both the global and the VRF routing tables without needing a RIB group. These routes are known to the VRF because the interfaces are part of the VRF configuration.

- **C. You do not need to use the RIB group default route, which is learned through BGP, from the inet.0 table to the VPN-A.inet.0 table.**

- Incorrect. As discussed, the default route needs to be imported into the VRF's routing table using a RIB group to enable Internet access for the VRF.

- **D. You must use the RIB group to move interface routes from the inet.0 table to the VPN-A.inet.0 table.**

- Incorrect. Interface routes are directly associated with the VRF interfaces and are automatically known to the VRF routing table. There is no need to use a RIB group for these routes.

**Conclusion**:

The correct answers are:

**A. You must use the RIB group to move a default route, which is learned through BGP, from the inet.0 table to the VPN-A.inet.0 table.**

**B. You do not need to use the RIB group to move interface routes from the inet.0 table to the VPN-A.inet.0 table.**

The output is from the show l2vpn connections command on a Juniper router. This command is used to verify the status of Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) pseudowires between Provider Edge (PE) routers.

Breakdown of Key Information:

Instance: vpn-A

This is the L2VPN instance being monitored.

Connection Status (St)

The connection status is "Up", meaning the pseudowire is operational.

Local Site: CE1-2 (2)

The PE router is attached to a single local site (CE1-2).

Uptime & Connection Flaps

The output shows the last time the connection was up:

Time last up: Apr 11 14:35:27 2020

The "# Up trans" value is 1, meaning this connection has been established once and has not flapped since it was initiated.

VLAN ID Mismatch Check

The legend includes "VM – VLAN ID mismatch", but this status is not present in the connection output.

This means there is NO VLAN ID mismatch.

Flow Labels

The Flow Label Transmit is No, and the Flow Label Receive is No.

This means the PE router does NOT have the capability to pop flow labels.

When a Junos device receives a packet on an interface with transmission scheduling, traffic is placed into different queues based on Class of Service (CoS) policies. If a queue exceeds its allocated bandwidth, Junos has default behaviors for handling excess traffic.

Key Junos Behaviors for Transmission Scheduling

Queues Can Borrow Bandwidth from Other Queues ✅

If a queue has excess traffic, it can use bandwidth from underutilized queues, as long as bandwidth is available.

Reference from Juniper Documentation:

"By default, each queue can exceed the assigned bandwidth if additional bandwidth is available from other queues."

Queues Have Credit-Based Tracking ✅

A queue that stays within its allocated bandwidth is considered to have positive bandwidth credit.

A queue that exceeds its allocation is considered to have negative bandwidth credit.

Reference from Juniper Documentation:

"A queue receiving traffic in excess of its bandwidth allocation is considered to have negative bandwidth credit."

Evaluating the Answer Choices

✅ B. The exceeding queue will be considered to have negative bandwidth credit.

Correct, because when a queue exceeds its allocated bandwidth, Junos assigns it negative bandwidth credit.

This means the queue is in debt and must recover before it can transmit additional packets.

✅ C. The excess traffic will use bandwidth available from other queues.

Correct, because Junos allows excess traffic to borrow bandwidth from underutilized queues by default.

If a forwarding class does not use its allocated bandwidth, other queues can borrow the unused bandwidth.

Why the Other Answers Are Incorrect?

❌ A. The excess traffic will be discarded.

Incorrect, because Junos does not immediately discard excess traffic unless the queue cannot borrow bandwidth.

By default, Junos allows bandwidth sharing, and only if no bandwidth is available does it drop packets.

❌ D. The exceeding queue will be considered to have positive bandwidth credit.

Incorrect, because when a queue exceeds its assigned bandwidth, it gets negative bandwidth credit, not positive credit.

Bootstrap messages are PIM messages that are used to distribute rendezvous point (RP) information dynamically during an RP election. Bootstrap messages are sent by bootstrap routers (BSRs), which are routers that are elected to perform the RP discovery function for a PIM sparse-mode domain. Bootstrap messages contain information about candidate RPs and their multicast groups, as well as BSR priority and hash mask length. Bootstrap messages are forwarded to all routers within a PIM sparse-mode domain using hop-by-hop flooding.

In the context of Ethernet VPN (EVPN) and the behavior described in the exhibit, it's essential to understand the different EVPN route types and their specific functionalities. Here, CE-2 is receiving unicast traffic on both of its multihomed links to PE-2 and PE-3, but broadcast traffic is received only on one of these links.

**Explanation of EVPN Route Types**:

1. **Type 1 (Ethernet Auto-Discovery Routes)**:

- These routes are used for auto-discovery of Ethernet segments and for advertising VLAN membership.

- They do not directly influence the behavior described in the question.

2. **Type 2 (MAC/IP Advertisement Routes)**:

- These routes are used to advertise MAC addresses and IP-to-MAC bindings within the EVPN.

- They handle unicast traffic forwarding and are crucial for populating the MAC address tables on the PE devices.

- While important, they do not explain the selective broadcast behavior.

3. **Type 3 (Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag Routes)**:

- These routes are used to build multicast distribution trees for delivering broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast (BUM) traffic.

- They ensure that BUM traffic is sent only once per Ethernet segment, preventing duplicate frames from being sent to multihomed CEs.

- This aligns with the behavior described where CE-2 receives broadcast traffic on only one link to prevent duplication.

4. **Type 4 (Ethernet Segment Routes)**:

- These routes are used to advertise the presence of an Ethernet segment and are crucial for Designated Forwarder (DF) election processes in multihoming scenarios.

- While relevant to multihoming, they are not directly responsible for the selective broadcast behavior.

**Conclusion**:

The behavior described, where CE-2 receives broadcast traffic on only one of its multihomed links, is controlled by Type 3 routes. These routes are specifically designed to handle inclusive multicast and broadcast traffic efficiently in EVPN environments, ensuring that such traffic is not duplicated across multiple links to the same CE.

EVPN is a solution that provides Ethernet multipoint services over MPLS networks. EVPN uses BGP to distribute endpoint provisioning information and set up pseudowires between PE devices. EVPN uses different route types to convey different information in the control plane. The following are the main EVPN route types:

Type 1 - Ethernet Auto-Discovery Route: This route type is used for network-wide messaging and discovery of other PE devices that are part of the same EVPN instance. It also carries information about the redundancy mode and load balancing algorithm of the PE devices.

Type 2 - MAC/IP Advertisement Route: This route type is used for MAC and IP address learning and advertisement between PE devices. It also carries information about the Ethernet segment identifier (ESI) and the label for forwarding traffic to the MAC or IP address.

Type 3 - Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag Route: This route type is used for broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast (BUM) traffic forwarding. It also carries information about the multicast group and the label for forwarding BUM traffic.

Type 4 - Ethernet Segment Route: This route type is used for multihoming scenarios, where a CE device is connected to more than one PE device. It also carries information about the ESI and the designated forwarder (DF) election process.

Option A (Correct):

Complete Sequence Number PDUs (CSNPs) are periodically flooded by the Designated Intermediate System (DIS) on multi-access networks (e.g., Ethernet).

This ensures all routers on the segment synchronize their Link-State Databases (LSDBs).

AToM (Any Transport over MPLS) is a framework that supports various Layer 2 transport types over an MPLS network core. One of the transport types supported by AToM is LDP Layer 2 circuit, which is a point-to-point Layer 2 connection that uses LDP for signaling and MPLS for forwarding. LDP Layer 2 circuit can support Layer 2 connectivity without using BGP and can be scalable and efficient by using a single MPLS LSP for multiple VPN connections. The customer can maintain all routing for their private network by using their own CE switches.

Analyzing the Exhibit

The diagram represents BGP peering between:

AS 65512 (Enterprise Network)

AS 65511 (ISP-A)

R3 and R4 are peering with ISP-A using EBGP.

R1, R2, R3, and R4 are peering within AS 65512 using IBGP.

Understanding BGP Route Behavior

Option A: "By default, the next-hop value for these routes is not changed by ISP-A before being sent to R3." ❌

Incorrect!

EBGP behavior: When a BGP route is advertised via EBGP, the next-hop IP is changed to the router's own IP by default.

Since ISP-A is advertising routes via EBGP to R3, the next-hop is changed to ISP-A’s IP.

Thus, this statement is incorrect.

Option B: "The BGP local-preference value that is used by ISP-A is not advertised to R3." ✅

Correct!

BGP Local Preference (LOCAL_PREF) is an IBGP-only attribute.

Local Preference is NOT shared over EBGP because it is used within an AS to influence route selection.

ISP-A will not send LOCAL_PREF to R3, as R3 is in a different AS.

Thus, this statement is correct.

Option C: "All BGP attribute values must be removed before receiving the routes." ❌

Incorrect!

BGP does not remove all attributes when advertising routes. Some attributes are modified (e.g., next-hop, AS-PATH), but others (like MED, community) may be preserved.

Thus, this statement is incorrect.

Option D: "The next-hop value for these routes is changed by ISP-A before being sent to R3." ✅

Correct!

As per default EBGP behavior, the next-hop is changed when a route is advertised to an EBGP peer.

This means ISP-A changes the next-hop to its own IP before sending it to R3.

Thus, this statement is correct.

Final Answer:

✅ B. The BGP local-preference value that is used by ISP-A is not advertised to R3.

✅ D. The next-hop value for these routes is changed by ISP-A before being sent to R3.

Verification from Juniper Documentation:

Juniper BGP Configuration Guide confirms that LOCAL_PREF is not advertised over EBGP.

RFC 4271 (BGP-4) specifies that next-hop is changed by default when advertising routes via EBGP.

Understanding the Exhibit and the Problem Statement

The diagram shows a Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) setup where multiple customers (Customer A, B, and C) are connected across a service provider network using PE (Provider Edge) routers.

PE1 and PE2 exchange VPN routes for all customers using BGP/MPLS Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) routing.

The question asks how to verify if PE2 is receiving VPN routes for Customer C.

Evaluating the Answer Choices

✅ B. show route table bgp.l3vpn.0 (Correct Answer)

Why?

This command shows all VPN routes stored in the BGP Layer 3 VPN table (bgp.l3vpn.0).

Since PE routers exchange VPN routes using MP-BGP, this table contains the VPN-IPv4 or VPN-IPv6 routes for all customers.

If PE2 is receiving routes from PE1 for Customer C, they will appear in bgp.l3vpn.0.

❌ A. show route table inet.0 (Incorrect)

Why?

The inet.0 table contains global unicast routes for the service provider's network.

VPN routes do not appear here because they are stored in VRF-specific tables.

This command won’t help verify VPN route exchange between PE1 and PE2.

❌ C. show route table customer-c.inet.0 (Incorrect)

Why?

The table customer-c.inet.0 represents the VRF routing table for Customer C on the local PE.

It only shows locally installed routes for Customer C but does not confirm if PE2 is receiving routes from PE1.

This command is useful to check local VPN routing but not BGP route propagation.

❌ D. show route summary (Incorrect)

Why?

This command only provides a summary of route counts per protocol (BGP, OSPF, etc.).

It does not display specific VPN routes.

It is useful for general troubleshooting but doesn’t confirm VPN route receipt.

Final Answer: ✅ show route table bgp.l3vpn.0 (Option B)

Official Juniper Documentation Reference

Junos MPLS VPNs Configuration Guide???? Juniper Documentation

"The show route table bgp.l3vpn.0 command displays all VPN-IPv4 routes learned via MP-BGP for Layer 3 VPNs."

EVPN is a technology that connects L2 network segments separated by an L3 network using a virtual Layer 2 network overlay over the Layer 3 network. EVPN uses BGP as its control protocol to exchange different types of routes for different purposes. Type 2 routes are used to advertise MAC address and IP address pairs learned using ARP snooping from the local CE devices. Type 3 routes are used to join a multicast tree to flood traffic such as broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast (BUM) traffic.

The `vrf-target` statement in a Layer 3 VPN configuration is used to control the import and export of VPN routes by attaching a target community to the routes. This helps in defining which VPN routes should be imported into or exported from a particular VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) instance.

1. **Understanding VRF Target**:

- The `vrf-target` statement specifies the extended community attributes (route targets) that are used to control the import and export of routes in a VRF.

- These attributes help in identifying which routes should be shared between different VRFs, particularly across different PE (Provider Edge) devices.

2. **Statements Analysis**:

- **A. This value is used to identify BGP routes learned from the local CE device.**

- Incorrect. The `vrf-target` attribute is not used to identify routes learned from the local CE device. It is used to manage routes between PE devices and within the provider's MPLS network.

- **B. This value is used to identify BGP routes learned from the remote PE device.**

- Correct. The `vrf-target` value helps in identifying which routes from remote PE devices should be imported into the local VRF. It essentially acts as a filter for importing BGP routes with matching target communities.

- **C. This value is used to add a target community to BGP routes advertised to the local CE device.**

- Incorrect. Routes advertised to the local CE device do not use the `vrf-target` attribute. Instead, these routes are typically managed within the local VRF routing table.

- **D. This value is used to add a target community to BGP routes advertised to the remote PE device.**

- Correct. When advertising routes from the local PE to remote PE devices, the `vrf-target` value is added to these routes. This target community ensures that the correct routes are shared across the VPN.

**Conclusion**:

The correct statements about the `vrf-target` configuration in a Layer 3 VPN scenario are:

**B. This value is used to identify BGP routes learned from the remote PE device.**

**D. This value is used to add a target community to BGP routes advertised to the remote PE device.**

A sham link is a logical link between two PE routers that belong to the same OSPF area but are connected through an L3VPN. A sham link makes the PE routers appear as if they are directly connected, and prevents OSPF from preferring an intra-area back door link over the VPN backbone. A sham link creates an OSPF multihop neighborship between the PE routers using TCP port 646. The PEs exchange Type 1 OSPF LSAs instead of Type 3 OSPF LSAs for the L3VPN routes, which allows OSPF to use the correct metric for route selection1.

In PIM-SM (Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode), the Designated Router (DR) plays a crucial role in multicast forwarding. The DR is responsible for various tasks depending on whether it is connected to the source or the receiver. Let's analyze each statement regarding the PIM DR in a PIM-SM domain.

1. **Statement A: The source DR sends PIM register messages from the source network to the RP.**

- Correct. In PIM-SM, the DR on the source's local network is responsible for encapsulating multicast packets in PIM Register messages and sending them to the Rendezvous Point (RP). This process ensures that the RP is aware of active sources.

2. **Statement B: If the DR priorities match, the router with the lowest IP address is selected as the DR.**

- Incorrect. The correct rule is that if the DR priorities match, the router with the **highest** IP address is selected as the DR. The election process first compares priorities; if priorities are equal, the IP addresses are compared to select the DR.

3. **Statement C: The receiver DR sends PIM join and PIM prune messages from the receiver network toward the RP.**

- Correct. In PIM-SM, the DR on the receiver's local network sends PIM Join messages toward the RP to join the multicast distribution tree. Similarly, it sends PIM Prune messages to leave the tree when there are no interested receivers.

4. **Statement D: By default, PIM DR election is performed on point-to-point links.**

- Incorrect. By default, PIM DR election is performed on multi-access networks (e.g., Ethernet). On point-to-point links, there is no need for a DR election as there are only two routers involved.

**Conclusion**:

The correct statements regarding the PIM DR in a PIM-SM domain are:

**A. The source DR sends PIM register messages from the source network to the RP.**

**C. The receiver DR sends PIM join and PIM prune messages from the receiver network toward the RP.**

**References**:

- Juniper Networks Documentation on PIM-SM: [PIM-SM

- RFC 7761, Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM-SM): [RFC which details the PIM-SM protocol, including DR roles and election procedures.

The exhibit shows the configuration of a VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) instance on a Juniper PE router. Let's break down the key components:

VRF Configuration (VPN-A)

The instance type is VRF, meaning this is an L3VPN (Layer 3 VPN).

The routing instance contains a static route (10.1.0.0/16 next-hop 10.1.0.1).

The interface ge-0/0/2.0 is assigned to the VRF.

Route Distinguisher (RD): 172.17.20.1:1

VRF-Export Policy: vpn-a-export

VRF-Target: target:65512:1 (This defines which routes will be imported into the VRF).

VRF Export Policy (vpn-a-export)

The vpn-a-export policy adds two BGP communities (route targets) to exported VPN routes:

community add vpn-a-target;

community add vpn-m-target;

accept;

The vpn-a-target community corresponds to target:65512:1.

The vpn-m-target community corresponds to target:65512:2.

Policy-Options (Community Definitions)

community vpn-a-target members target:65512:1;

community vpn-m-target members target:65512:2;

This confirms that routes exported from this VRF will have BOTH target:65512:1 and target:65512:2.

Evaluating the Answer Choices

✅ Option A: "VPN routes are exported with the target:65512:1 and target:65512:2 route targets."

The vpn-a-export policy explicitly adds both vpn-a-target (65512:1) and vpn-m-target (65512:2) to exported routes.

This is correct. ✅

❌ Option B: "You cannot use the vrf-target and vrf-export statements in the same VRF."

This is incorrect.

Juniper allows the use of both vrf-target and vrf-export in the same VRF:

vrf-target is used for importing routes.

vrf-export defines export policies (which can add additional route targets).

This is incorrect. ❌

❌ Option C: "VPN routes with the target:65512:1 and target:65512:2 route targets are imported."

The vrf-target target:65512:1; statement only controls importing routes.

The import policy does not include target:65512:2, so routes tagged with target:65512:2 alone would not be imported into this VRF.

This is incorrect. ❌

❌ Option D: "VPN routes are exported with only the target:65512:1 route target."

The export policy (vpn-a-export) clearly adds both 65512:1 and 65512:2.

This is incorrect. ❌

Final Answer:

✅ A. VPN routes are exported with the target:65512:1 and target:65512:2 route targets.

Verification from Juniper Documentation

Juniper MPLS L3VPN Configuration Guide confirms that vrf-target is used for importing, while vrf-export can be used for exporting multiple route targets.

Juniper Routing Policy Documentation states that export policies can add multiple BGP communities (route targets).

RFC 4364 (BGP/MPLS IP VPNs) defines the use of route targets for VPN route control.
