JN0-683 Practice Test

Explanation:

Requirement Analysis:

The scenario requires a solution to interconnect two data centers that supports EVPN Type 2 connectivity. The solution must be highly scalable and must minimize the number of VXLAN tunnels between border leaf devices.

Understanding Type 2 Seamless Stitching:

Option D:Type 2 seamless stitchingis a method used in EVPN to provide Layer 2 connectivity (such as MAC address mobility) across different VXLAN segments. It is scalable because it allows only necessary tunnels to be established between border leaf devices, reducing the overhead of maintaining a full mesh of VXLAN tunnels.

Conclusion:

Option D:Correct—Type 2 seamless stitching satisfies the requirement by enabling scalable, efficient interconnection of two data centers with minimal VXLAN tunnels.

Explanation:

Understanding the Scenario:

EVPN-VXLAN deployments often involve scenarios where multiple tenants or applications require overlapping VLAN IDs, which can be managed using the mac-vrf routing instance type. This allows you to segregate traffic within the same VLAN ID across different tenants.

Host-facing Interface Configuration:

A. Host-facing interfaces must be configured using a service-provider style configuration:This is correct. In mac-vrf configurations, host-facing interfaces (those connecting end devices) typically follow a service-provider style configuration, where each customer or tenant's traffic is isolated even if overlapping VLAN IDs are used.

B. Host-facing interfaces must be configured using enterprise-style configuration:This is incorrect for mac-vrf instances because enterprise-style configurations are more common in simpler, less segmented networks.

Routing Instance Service Type:

D. The routing-instance service type can be VLAN-based:This is correct. The service type in mac-vrf can indeed be VLAN-based, which is particularly useful in scenarios where VLAN ID overlap is needed between different tenants or services.

Data Center References:

The mac-vrf instance type is powerful for handling complex multi-tenant environments in EVPN-VXLAN, especially when dealing with overlapping VLAN IDs across different segments of the network.

Explanation:

Telemetry Methods in Junos:

Telemetry is used to collect and report data from network devices. For high-frequency statistics reporting, such as every five seconds, you need a telemetry method that supports this level of granularity and real-time monitoring.

Junos Native Sensors:

Option C:Native Sensors in Junos provide detailed, high-frequency telemetry data, including TX and RX traffic statistics for interfaces. They are designed to offer real-time monitoring with customizable sampling intervals, making them ideal for the five-second reporting requirement.

Conclusion:

Option C:Correct—Native Sensors in Junos are capable of providing the required high-frequency telemetry data every five seconds.

Explanation:

BGP in IP Fabric:

In an IP fabric, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is used to manage the routing between leaf and spine devices. Each device can have the same or different Autonomous System (AS) numbers depending on the network design.

Multipath Multiple-AS:

Option B:If every device in the fabric has a different AS number, then enabling Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing requires the multipath multiple-as statement. This configuration allows BGP to consider multiple paths across different AS numbers as equal cost, enabling efficient load balancing across the network.

Same AS Number Configuration:

Option A:It's possible for all leaf devices to use the same AS number in an IP fabric, which simplifies the configuration. EBGP (External BGP) will still function correctly in this setup because BGP considers the peering relationship rather than strictly enforcing different AS numbers in this specific use case.

Conclusion:

Option B:Correct—This statement is essential for enabling ECMP in a multi-AS environment.

Option A:Correct—Leaf devices can share the same AS number without needing special EBGP configuration.

Explanation:

Issue Overview:

The leaf devices in an IP fabric using eBGP are advertising and receiving all routes, but the routes are not being installed in the routing table and are marked as hidden. Thistypically indicates an issue with the BGP configuration, particularly with next-hop handling or AS path concerns.

Corrective Actions:

B. You need to configure a next-hop self policy:This action ensures that the leaf devices modify the next-hop attribute to their own IP address before advertising routes to their peers. This is particularly important in eBGP setups where the next-hop may not be directly reachable by other peers.

D. You need to configure multipath multiple-as:This setting allows the router to accept multiple paths from different autonomous systems (ASes) and use them for load balancing. Without this, the BGP process might consider only one path and mark others as hidden.

Incorrect Statements:

A. You need to configure as-override:AS-override is used to replace the AS number in the AS-path attribute to prevent loop detection issues in MPLS VPNs, not in a typical eBGP IP fabric setup.

C. You need to configure loops 2:There is no specific BGP command loops 2 relevant to resolving hidden routes in this context. It might be confused with allowas-in, which is used to allow AS path loops under certain conditions.

Data Center References:

Proper BGP configuration is crucial in IP fabrics to ensure route propagation and to prevent routes from being marked as hidden. Configuration parameters like next-hop self and multipath multiple-as are common solutions to ensure optimal route installation and load balancing in a multi-vendor environment.
