  91. You have a medium scale enterprise network with main routing protocol working as OSPF. However at many locations static routes have been used. You need to ensure that static routes become the part of end to end routing and for that purpose; you will redistribute them into OSPF. Write configurations lines mandatory to do that.
  92. Which is the only type of route that will take preference over static routes?
  93. You need to drop any incoming traffic for a subnet. Using static routes you can use either of “Discard” or “Reject” for this purpose. What is the main difference between these two options in functionality?

  95. You have a network which has become very large over the time. You are now planning to re design your routing plane all over your network. The main goal will be network summarization and route filtration to minimize the routing table. What policy type will you use to do this task?
  96. As shown in above scenario, Router A has two subnets behind its Local Area Network, and Router B has two different subnets behind its LAN. Router A and B are connected directly with point-to-point link and ip addresses are already configured with 192.168.1.0/30 subnet. You are only allowed to use static routes to communicate between LAN of Router A and LAN or Router B. How would you accomplish this?
  97. You are assigned to design a new network for your company new office in a separate location. You are supposed to design the best way to optimize the network using best design techniques. Now you need to see if need for static routes is mandatory or should you go for dynamic routing protocols. Why would you use or prefer one from another?
  98. In large networks, it is very common for a particular network to be advertised and received from multiple routing protocols. Juniper uses a feature to tie break between multiple routing protocols in such scenarios. Name the feature, which is used for such scenarios.

  101. You have multiple IP addresses configured on one of Juniper router interface. You need to ensure one IP is always to take precedence over the other for all sort of multicast and broadcast packets sourced locally or and sent out to interface. Which keyword will you use while configuring such IP address in such a case?
  102. Border Gateway Protocol is one of the largest used protocol in the world, since it is the protocol of the internet routes. As network operations engineer you must understand the default behavior of BGP while exporting the routes. Describes the default BGP export behavior?
  103. Below output shows the show route of such router. Identify the default gateway IP address as destination configured in this scenario?
  104. In any network, where multiple services are running and WAN links are always running out of capacity, we make use of different techniques to control the impact on different latency sensitive services. One such technique is CoS Name the benefits that contribute to network performance with CoS?
  105. In the figure, a user behind Router A with IP address 192.168.1.1 wants to communicate to user behind Router D with IP address 10.1.1.1. Router A has two paths to reach to Router D and eventually to IP address 10.1.1.1. Assuming that there are no static routes in this network, which path will be taken?
  106. You want to block any traffic towards network 172.16.1.0/29. Mention the best command to do this task without letting the source knowing about it.
  107. Large enterprise networks often run multiple protocols on single router. You need to check the total number of interfaces which are in OSPF areas in you router. Mention the best command to see those interfaces?
  108. What is the default preference for Static routes on Juniper platforms?
