You are implementing seamless stitching between two data centers and have a proposed configuration for a border leaf device.
In this scenario, which two statements are correct? {Choose two.)
Understanding Seamless Stitching:
Seamless stitching is used in EVPN to interconnect two data centers, allowing for consistent Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity across them. This is often achieved by translating VNIs (Virtual Network Identifiers) between the data centers.
Translation-VNI:
Option B: The translation VNI must be different in each data center to ensure that traffic can be correctly routed and distinguished as it crosses between the data centers. This differentiation helps to maintain the integrity of the traffic flows and prevents any potential overlap or conflict in VNIs.
Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI):
Option D: The ESI must match in both data centers to ensure that the same Ethernet segment (which could be multihomed) is recognized consistently across the data centers. Matching ESIs are crucial for maintaining a unified view of the Ethernet segment across the interconnected fabric.
Conclusion:
Option B: Correct---Translation VNIs must be unique to each data center for proper traffic distinction.
Option D: Correct---Matching ESIs are necessary to maintain consistent Ethernet segment identification across both data centers.
You are asked for TX and RX traffic statistics for each interface to which an application server is attached. The statistics need to be reported every five seconds. Using the Junos default settings, which telemetry method would accomplish this request?
Telemetry Methods in Junos:
Telemetry is used to collect and report data from network devices. For high-frequency statistics reporting, such as every five seconds, you need a telemetry method that supports this level of granularity and real-time monitoring.
Junos Native Sensors:
Option C: Native Sensors in Junos provide detailed, high-frequency telemetry data, including TX and RX traffic statistics for interfaces. They are designed to offer real-time monitoring with customizable sampling intervals, making them ideal for the five-second reporting requirement.
Conclusion:
Option C: Correct---Native Sensors in Junos are capable of providing the required high-frequency telemetry data every five seconds.
Which three statements are correct about VXLAN control planes? (Choose three.)
VXLAN Control Planes:
VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) uses different control planes to handle MAC learning and traffic forwarding. The control planes include multicast and EVPN (Ethernet VPN).
Multicast and EVPN Comparison:
Option B: Both multicast and EVPN can be used for MAC learning in a VXLAN environment. Multicast is a more traditional approach, while EVPN is more advanced and supports distributed MAC learning.
Option D: EVPN offers benefits such as fast convergence and rapid updates, making it more efficient and scalable for modern data center environments.
Option E: Multicast does not require as many resources because it relies on traditional Layer 3 multicast mechanisms to distribute broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast (BUM) traffic. However, it can be less flexible and less scalable compared to EVPN.
Conclusion:
Option B: Correct---Both control planes facilitate MAC learning.
Option D: Correct---EVPN provides fast convergence and updates.
Option E: Correct---Multicast is resource-efficient but less flexible.
You are asked to set up an IP fabric that supports Al or ML workloads. You have chosen to use lossless Ethernet in this scenario, which statement is correct about congestion management?
Understanding Lossless Ethernet and Congestion Management:
Lossless Ethernet is crucial for AI and ML workloads, where packet loss can significantly degrade performance. To implement lossless Ethernet, congestion management protocols like ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) are used.
Role of ECN in Congestion Management:
Option A: In an IP fabric that supports lossless Ethernet, when a switch experiences congestion, it can mark packets using ECN. This marking notifies the source device of the congestion, allowing the source to reduce its transmission rate, thereby preventing packet loss.
Conclusion:
Option A: Correct---The switch experiencing congestion notifies the source device via ECN marking.
Exhibit.
Referring to the exhibit, which statement Is true?
Understanding Network Architectures:
ERB (Edge Routed Bridging) architecture involves routing at the network's edge (leaf nodes), while traffic between leaf nodes is switched. This is commonly used in VXLAN-EVPN setups.
Analysis of the Exhibit:
The exhibit shows configurations related to routing instances, VXLAN, and VLANs, with VNIs being used for each VLAN. This setup is characteristic of an ERB architecture where each leaf device handles Layer 3 routing for its connected devices.
Conclusion:
Option B: Correct---The configuration shown corresponds to an ERB architecture where routing occurs at the network's edge (leaf devices).
