Juniper JN0-683 Exam - Topic 3 Question 23 Discussion

Actual exam question for Juniper's JN0-683 exam

Question #: 23
Topic #: 3

Exhibit.

You are troubleshooting a DCI connection to another data center The BGP session to the provider is established, but the session to Border-Leaf-2 is not established. Referring to the exhibit, which configuration change should be made to solve the problem?

Aset protocols bgp group overlay export loopbacks

Bdelete protocols bgp group UNDERLAY advertise-external

Cset protocols bgp group PROVIDER export LOOPBACKS

Ddelete protocols bgp group OVERLAY accept-remote-nexthop

Ddelete protocols bgp group OVERLAY accept-remote-nexthop: Removing this command will ensure that the device uses its own IP address as the next-hop in BGP advertisements, which is standard practice in many EVPN-VXLAN setups. This change should help establish the BGP session with Border-Leaf-2.
Data Center Reference:
Proper handling of BGP next-hop attributes is critical in establishing and maintaining stable BGP sessions, especially in complex multi-fabric environments like EVPN-VXLAN. Removing accept-remote-nexthop aligns with best practices in many scenarios.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D, D

Understanding the Configuration:

The exhibit shows a BGP configuration on a Border-Leaf device. The BGP group UNDERLAY is used for the underlay network, OVERLAY for EVPN signaling, and PROVIDER for connecting to the provider network.

The OVERLAY group has the accept-remote-nexthop statement, which is designed to accept the next-hop address learned from the remote peer as is, without modifying it.

Problem Identification:

The BGP session to Border-Leaf-2 is not established. A common issue in EVPN-VXLAN environments is related to next-hop reachability, especially when accept-remote-nexthop is configured.

In typical EVPN-VXLAN setups, the next-hop address should be reachable within the overlay network. However, the accept-remote-nexthop can cause issues if the next-hop IP address is not directly reachable or conflicts with the expected behavior in the overlay.

Definitely need to set the right export policies for BGP.

Isn't it risky to just delete commands like that?

I think removing the accept-remote-nexthop command makes sense, but I’m not confident if that’s the only change needed to fix the BGP session.

I feel like I’ve seen something similar before, but I’m torn between options B and D. I need to think about how next-hop attributes work in this context.

This question reminds me of a practice scenario where we had to adjust next-hop settings. I think option D could be the right choice.

I remember studying BGP configurations, but I'm not entirely sure which option directly affects the session with Border-Leaf-2.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The BGP session to the provider is up, but the one to Border-Leaf-2 is not. The options seem to be related to BGP group configurations, so I'll need to carefully analyze each one to determine the best course of action.

Option D is the way to go here. Accepting remote next-hops can cause issues in certain EVPN-VXLAN setups, so removing that configuration should help establish the BGP session with Border-Leaf-2. I've seen this problem before and this is usually the fix.

Hmm, this looks tricky. I'm a bit unsure about the different BGP groups and how they're configured. I might need to review the EVPN-VXLAN design and troubleshooting steps before I can confidently select the right option.

The key here seems to be the BGP next-hop configuration. I'd try option D and remove the accept-remote-nexthop command to see if that resolves the issue with the Border-Leaf-2 session.

Haha, this one's a no-brainer. The answer is right there in the explanation - 'Removing this command will ensure that the device uses its own IP address as the next-hop in BGP advertisements.' Simple fix!
