You are using Juniper Apstra to design a data center fabric.
In this scenario, which object type associates a specific vendor model to a logical device?
What does EVPN use lo identity which remote leaf device advertised the EVPN route?
EVPN uses a route distinguisher (RD) value to identify which remote leaf device advertised the EVPN route. An RD is a 64-bit value that is prepended to the EVPN NLRI to create a unique VPNv4 or VPNv6 prefix. The RD value is usually derived from the IP address of the PE that originates the EVPN route. By comparing the RD values of different EVPN routes, a PE can determine which remote PE advertised the route and which VRF the route belongs to. The other options are incorrect because:
B) a community tag is wrong because a community tag is an optional transitive BGP attribute that can be used to group destinations that share some common properties. A community tag does not identify the source of the EVPN route.
C) a route target value is wrong because a route target (RT) value is an extended BGP community that is used to control the import and export of EVPN routes between VRFs. An RT value does not identify the source of the EVPN route.
D) a VRF target value is wrong because there is no such thing as a VRF target value in EVPN. A VRF is a virtual routing and forwarding instance that isolates the IP traffic of different VPNs on a PE. A VRF does not have a target value associated with it.Reference:

In the case of IP Clos data center five-stage fabric design, what are two rotes of the super spines? (Choose two.)
In the case of IP Clos data center five-stage fabric design, the super spines are the devices that provide the highest level of aggregation in the network. They have two main roles:
Super spines are used to interconnect two different data center pods. A pod is a cluster of leaf and spine devices that form a 3-stage Clos topology. A 5-stage Clos topology consists of multiple pods that are connected by the super spines. This allows for scaling the network to support more devices and bandwidth.
Super spines connect to all spine devices within the five-stage architecture. The spine devices are the devices that provide the second level of aggregation in the network. They connect to the leaf devices, which are the devices that provide access to the end hosts. The super spines connect to all the spine devices in the network, regardless of which pod they belong to. This provides any-to-any connectivity between the pods and enables optimal routing and load balancing.
The following two statements are incorrect in this scenario:
Super spines are used to connect leaf nodes within a data center pod. This is not true, because the leaf nodes are connected to the spine nodes within the same pod. The super spines do not connect to the leaf nodes directly, but only through the spine nodes.
Super spines are always connected to an external data center gateway. This is not true, because the super spines are not necessarily involved in the external connectivity of the data center. The external data center gateway is a device that provides the connection to the outside network, such as the Internet or another data center. The external data center gateway can be connected to the super spines, the spine nodes, or the leaf nodes, depending on the design and the requirements of the network.

Within Managed Devices in the Juniper Apstra Ul, you notice that several devices have the OOS-Quarantined status. The devices cannot be added to any blueprint. Which action would solve this problem?
Which protocol is used to advertise EVPN routes?
BGP is the protocol used to advertise EVPN routes. EVPN routes are a new type of BGP network layer reachability information (NLRI) that carry MAC address and IP prefix information for Ethernet VPNs. EVPN routes are exchanged between PEs using BGP multiprotocol extensions (MP-BGP) over MPLS, VXLAN, SR, or SRv6 tunnels. EVPN routes enable PEs to learn the reachability of MAC addresses and IP prefixes of different sites within the same EVPN instance. EVPN routes also support various features such as fast convergence, redundancy, aliasing, and inter-subnet routing. The other options are incorrect because:
A) OSPF is wrong because OSPF is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) that is used to advertise IP routes within an autonomous system. OSPF is not used to advertise EVPN routes, which are a type of BGP NLRI that carry MAC address and IP prefix information for Ethernet VPNs.
C) IS-IS is wrong because IS-IS is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) that is used to advertise IP routes and MPLS labels within an autonomous system. IS-IS is not used to advertise EVPN routes, which are a type of BGP NLRI that carry MAC address and IP prefix information for Ethernet VPNs.
D) RIP is wrong because RIP is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) that is used to advertise IP routes within an autonomous system. RIP is not used to advertise EVPN routes, which are a type of BGP NLRI that carry MAC address and IP prefix information for Ethernet VPNs.Reference:
