Pass the Juniper JNCIA JN0-105 Questions and answers with CertsForce

In Junos OS, there are two main configuration databases:

Candidate configuration: a working copy of the configuration that holds any uncommitted changes. All configuration edits are made here.

Active configuration: the running configuration that the system currently uses.

When you issue a commit command, the candidate configuration is promoted to active, replacing the previous configuration. Until that happens, all changes remain in the candidate configuration and do not affect device operation.

From Junos Fundamentals Guide:

“The candidate configuration is a separate copy of the configuration database. All changes are made to the candidate configuration and do not take effect until they are committed.”

The command "monitor traffic interface ge-0/0/0" (D) initiates a packet capture on the specified interface, allowing you to view the actual packets being transmitted and received. This is useful for troubleshooting and analyzing the traffic passing through the interface in real time.

Referring to the exhibit, the presence of the "+" symbol next to the OSPF route for 192.168.100.2/32 indicates that this is the active route being used to forward traffic. The BGP route, although present, does not have the "+" symbol, indicating it is not the active route. In Junos OS, the routing table displays the active route with a "+" symbol, and the fact that the OSPF route has this symbol means it is the preferred path based on the routing protocol's decision process, which takes into account factors such as route preference (administrative distance) and metrics.

The Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) in Junos OS is responsible for maintaining the forwarding table. The PFE processes incoming packets, performs route lookups in the forwarding table, and forwards packets based on this information, offloading these tasks from the Routing Engine to ensure efficient packet forwarding.

In Junos OS, remote access to the device's CLI is commonly facilitated through Secure Shell (SSH), a protocol providing secure command-line access over an insecure network. The given exhibit indicates an attempt to set a root authentication password but does not show configuration for enabling remote access services. To enable SSH, which is not shown in the configuration snippet, you need to configure the device to accept SSH connections. This is done by enabling the SSH service within the system services hierarchy of the configuration. The correct command to add to the existing configuration for enabling remote CLI access via SSH is set system services ssh. This command activates the SSH service, allowing secure remote logins to the device.

Exception traffic includes traffic that is not simply forwarded by the router but requires special handling, such as routing updates (B) and log messages (C). These types of traffic are processed by the router's control plane rather than just being forwarded through the data plane.

In Junos OS, the dedicated out-of-band management interface is typically named fxp0. This interface is used exclusively for management traffic and is physically separated from the data traffic interfaces. It allows administrators to perform management tasks even when the device is experiencing issues that affect the forwarding plane.

From the JNCIA-Junos Study Guide and Junos OS Documentation:

“The fxp0 interface is a dedicated management interface that provides out-of-band management access. It is commonly found on Juniper routers, switches, and security platforms. You assign IP addresses to this interface as you would any other, and it is often used to connect to a management network or to allow SSH, Telnet, or SNMP access.”

The CLI help command in Junos OS provides assistance and explanations for commands, command options, and in some cases, specific system log error messages. By using the help command followed by specific keywords or messages, users can get detailed information and context for the commands they are using or errors they are encountering. This feature is particularly useful for understanding the purpose of commands, their syntax, and troubleshooting error messages that may appear in system logs.

Link-state routing protocols are a type of routing protocol used in packet-switching networks for finding the best path between source and destination. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System) are both examples of link-state routing protocols. They work by maintaining a complete map or topology of the network, allowing routers to independently calculate the best path to each destination. Unlike distance-vector protocols like RIP, link-state protocols are more efficient and scalable, making them suitable for larger networks.

If you've committed a configuration and then need to revert to the previous configuration, the rollback command is used. Since the incorrect IP address has not been committed, as indicated by the commit check command being successful, issuing rollback 1 will undo the changes made in the current session, which includes the accidental entry of the IP address.
