Juniper JN0-480 Data Center, Specialist Exam Practice Test

Answer : B, D, E

To keep virtual networks isolated from each other within the Juniper Apstra system, you can use one or more of the following methods:

Enable Security Policy for virtual networks in the same Routing Zone.This allows you to define rules that control the traffic flow between different virtual networks within the same routing zone. You can specify the source and destination virtual networks, the protocol, the port, and the action (allow or deny) for each rule.The security policy is applied on the ingress interface of the leaf devices1.

Use Connectivity Templates to block access within the same Routing Zone.This allows you to customize the connectivity between different racks within the same routing zone. You can create templates that define the link type, the routing protocol, and the access control list (ACL) for each rack pair.The ACL can be used to filter the traffic based on the source and destination IP addresses, the protocol, and the port2.

Put each network in different Routing Zones.This allows you to create logical boundaries between different virtual networks based on the route target (RT) values. A routing zone is a collection of virtual networks that share the same RT for importing and exporting routes.Virtual networks in different routing zones do not exchange routes with each other, unless you configure remote EVPN gateways to connect them3.Reference:

A configlet is a small piece of configuration that can be applied to a device or a group of devices to make persistent changes that are not overwritten by Apstra. Configlets can be used to install manual changes that are not part of the Apstra rendered configuration, such as custom commands, scripts, or features.Configlets can be created, edited, and deleted from the Apstra GUI or CLI12.Reference:

Configlets Overview

Configlets User Guide

Answer : C, D

According to the Juniper documentation1, a configlet is a configuration template that augments Apstra's reference design with non-native device configuration. They consist of one or more generators. Each generator specifies a NOS type (config style), when to render the configuration, and CLI commands (and file name as applicable). Some applications for configlets include the following:

Syslog

SNMP access policy

TACACS / RADIUS

Management ACLs

Control plane policing

NTP

Username / password

Therefore, the correct answer is C and D. syslog configuration and NTP configuration. These are examples of non-native device configuration that can be added using a configlet. Static route configuration and policy configuration are not applicable in this scenario, because they are part of the reference design configuration that should not be replaced or modified by a configlet.Reference:Configlets (Datacenter Design),Configlet Examples (Design)

Answer : A, D, E

Juniper Apstra supports three deploy modes for devices:Deploy,Drain, andReady.These modes determine the configuration and state of the devices in the data center fabric12.

Deploy: This mode applies the full Apstra-rendered configuration to the device, according to the Apstra Reference Design.The device state becomesIS-ACTIVEand the device is ready to carry traffic in the fabric12.

Drain: This mode adds a ''drain'' configuration to the device, which prevents any new traffic from entering the device.The device state becomesIS-READYand the device is prepared for maintenance or decommissioning12.

Ready: This mode removes the Apstra-rendered configuration from the device, leaving only the basic configuration such as device hostname, interface descriptions, and port speed/breakout.The device state becomesIS-READYand the device is not part of the fabric12.Reference:

A cabling anomaly is an issue that occurs when the physical connections between the devices in the data center fabric do not match the expected connections based on the Apstra Reference Design. A cabling anomaly can cause problems such as incorrect routing, suboptimal traffic flow, or device isolation. To remediate the issue, you can use one or both of the following methods:

Manually edit the cabling map.This allows you to override the Apstra-generated cabling and specify the correct connections between the devices.You can use the Apstra UI or the Apstra CLI to edit the cabling map and apply the changes to the fabric12.

Have Apstra autoremediate the cabling map using LLDP.This allows Apstra to collect LLDP data from the devices and use it to update the cabling map automatically. LLDP is a protocol that allows devices to exchange information about their identity, capabilities, and neighbors.Apstra can use the LLDP data to detect and correct any cabling errors in the fabric34.Reference:

Answer : D

The cable map is a graphical representation of the physical connections between the devices in the data center fabric. It shows the status of the cables, interfaces, and BGP sessions for each device. You can use the cable map to identify and troubleshoot any cable, interface, or BGP anomalies that may occur in the fabric.You can also filter the cable map by device name, device type, device role, device state, cable state, interface state, or BGP state12.Reference:

Answer : D

To configure a static route for traffic to exit a configured routing zone, you need to use the Connectivity Templates feature in the Juniper Apstra UI. A Connectivity Template is a set of configuration parameters that can be applied to a device or a group of devices in a blueprint. You can use Connectivity Templates to configure static routes, BGP, OSPF, and other network services. To create a Connectivity Template, you need to go to the Staged tab and select Connectivity Templates from the left menu. Then, you can click on the + icon to create a new template. You can specify the name, description, and scope of the template. The scope determines which devices or device groups the template will be applied to. You can also specify the order of the template, which determines the priority of the template when multiple templates are applied to the same device. After creating the template, you can add configuration items to the template. To add a static route, you need to select Static Route from the drop-down menu and enter the destination network, subnet mask, and next-hop IP address. You can also specify the administrative distance and the track object for the static route. After adding the configuration items, you need to save the template and commit the changes to the blueprint. The other options are incorrect because:

A) under Active -> Virtual -> Routing Zones is wrong because this option allows you to view and modify the existing routing zones, but not to configure static routes for them.

B) under Staged -> Virtual -> Routing Zones is wrong because this option allows you to create and delete routing zones, but not to configure static routes for them.

C) under Active -> Connectivity Templates is wrong because this option allows you to view the existing connectivity templates, but not to create or modify them.Reference:
