Juniper JN0-683 Exam - Topic 10 Question 12 Discussion

Actual exam question for Juniper's JN0-683 exam
Question #: 12
Topic #: 10
[All JN0-683 Questions]

Exhibit.

Referring to the exhibit, when Host A sends an ARP request for Host B's IP address, which Junos feature does leaf1 require to send an ARP response back to Host A without having to send a broadcast frame over the fabric?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Scenario Overview:

In the exhibit, Host A is trying to resolve Host B's IP address (10.10.1.2) through ARP (Address Resolution Protocol). Normally, an ARP request would be broadcasted over the network, and the host owning the IP address (Host B) would respond.

Role of Proxy ARP:

Option A: Proxy ARP allows a router or switch (in this case, leaf1) to respond to ARP requests on behalf of another host. Leaf1, knowing the MAC address of Host B through the EVPN MAC advertisement, can reply to Host A's ARP request directly without broadcasting the request across the entire network fabric. This feature reduces unnecessary traffic and increases network efficiency.

Conclusion:

Option A: Correct---Proxy ARP enables leaf1 to respond to Host A's ARP request for Host B's IP without broadcasting over the IP fabric, thus providing the ARP response locally.

I disagree, proxy NDP seems more relevant here.

Definitely proxy ARP, no doubt about it.

DAD sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it applies to ARP responses. I might be mixing it up with something else.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I believe GARP was mentioned, but I don't think it's the right answer for this scenario.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about proxy NDP being related to IPv6. Could that be relevant here?

I think this might be about proxy ARP since it allows a device to respond to ARP requests on behalf of another device.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. What exactly does it mean for leaf1 to "send an ARP response back to Host A without having to send a broadcast frame over the fabric"? I'll need to think through the networking concepts involved to determine the correct Junos feature.

Proxy ARP seems like the most likely answer here. If leaf1 can respond to the ARP request on behalf of Host B without needing to broadcast it, that would fit the description of the question. I'll go with option A.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know ARP is used for address resolution, but I'm not familiar with all the Junos features mentioned. I'll have to carefully read through the options and try to reason out the best answer.

This looks like a networking question related to ARP and Junos features. I'll need to think through the different options and consider how each one might work in this scenario.

DAD? Is this a trick question or something? That's for duplicate address detection, not for responding to ARP requests. Haha, the exam writers are getting sneaky!

I think option B, proxy NDP, is the correct answer here. The question is about IPv6, not IPv4, so proxy ARP wouldn't be applicable.

Proxy ARP, definitely! That's the Junos feature that allows the leaf switch to respond to the ARP request without flooding the fabric.
