Juniper JN0-281 Exam - Topic 2 Question 16 Discussion
Topic #: 2
Exhibit:
Referring to the exhibit, which next hop will be preferred in the routing table?
In the exhibit, we see a static route configuration with two possible next hops for the default route (0.0.0.0/0):
next-hop 172.25.20.254 with the default preference of 7.
qualified-next-hop 172.25.20.200 with a preference of 6.
Step-by-Step Breakdown:
Preference Value:
In Junos OS, the preference value is used to determine which route should be preferred in the routing table. The lower the preference value, the higher the priority for the route.
Comparison:
In this case:
The next hop 172.25.20.254 has a preference of 7.
The qualified-next-hop 172.25.20.200 has a preference of 6.
Preferred Next Hop:
Since 172.25.20.200 has a lower preference (6) compared to 172.25.20.254 (7), it will be the preferred next hop in the routing table, assuming both next hops are reachable.
Juniper Reference:
Qualified Next Hop: In Junos, static routes with multiple next-hop options are selected based on the preference value, with the lower value being preferred.
