Discuss Juniper JN0-281 Exam Topic 1 Question 4

Exhibit:

Referring to the exhibit, what is the route preference of the 172.25.11.254 next hop?

B10

C130

D140

Suggested Answer: A

In the exhibit, we see two next-hop addresses for the default static route (0.0.0.0/0):

The first next hop is 172.25.11.254, with no specified preference.

The second next hop is 172.25.11.200, with a specified preference of 140.

Step-by-Step Breakdown:

Default Static Route Preference:

If no preference is explicitly set for a next hop in Junos, it defaults to 5 for static routes.

Determining Preference:

In this case, the next hop 172.25.11.254 does not have an explicit preference defined, so it will use the default value of 5. The second next hop has a preference of 140, which is higher, meaning it will only be used if the primary next hop is unavailable.

Juniper Reference:

Static Route Preference: In Junos, the default preference for static routes is 5, and this value is applied unless overridden by the preference parameter.

Wait, are we sure it's not 140? Seems off.

Melinda 10 months ago

I thought it was 130 at first, but B makes sense.

Deane 10 months ago

Definitely agree, it's option B!

Just checked, it's definitely 10!

Emilio 11 months ago

The next hop preference is 10.

Pearline 11 months ago

I remember that 140 is usually for EIGRP, but I don't think that's the right choice for this question. I’m leaning towards 10.

Gilma 11 months ago

I’m confused about the values. I thought 130 was a common preference for OSPF, but I can't recall if that's relevant here.

Adelle 11 months ago

I practiced a similar question where the lower the number, the better the preference. I feel like 5 could be the answer here.

Chun 12 months ago

I think the route preference might be 10, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember something about administrative distances.

Dulce 12 months ago

This is a tricky one, but I've practiced similar questions before. I'll methodically go through the options and use my knowledge of routing protocols to determine the correct answer.

I think I know the answer, but I want to double-check my understanding. Let me review the routing concepts one more time before selecting the option.

Francis 1 year ago

Okay, the key here is to identify the route preference based on the next hop address of 172.25.11.254. I'll need to consider the different routing metrics like administrative distance, cost, and other factors.

Filiberto 1 year ago

The exhibit shows some network information, but I'm not sure how to interpret it. I'll need to review my notes on routing protocols and metrics to figure this out.

Glen 1 year ago

Hmm, this looks like a routing question. I'll need to carefully examine the exhibit and the options to determine the route preference.

Reita 1 year ago

Haha, this question is a real head-scratcher. I'm going to go with option C just to see what happens.

Phillip 1 year ago

Wait, is this a networking question? I thought this was a cooking exam. Guess I should have read the question more carefully.

This is a trick question, right? The answer has to be 5, everyone knows that's the default route preference!
