BGP attributes are properties that BGP uses for route advertisement, path selection, and loop prevention1. There are four categories of BGP attributes123:

• Well-known mandatory: Must be recognized by all BGP routers, present in all BGP updates, and passed on to other BGP routers123.
• Well-known discretionary: Supported by all BGP implementations, and are optionally included in BGP updates1.
• Optional transitive: May not be supported by all implementations of BGP1.
• Optional non-transitive: May not be supported by all implementations of BGP1.

The well-known mandatory attributes must be supported by all BGP implementations and must be included in every update123. These include the AS path and next hop attributes23. Therefore, options A and C are correct.

The output shown in the exhibit is the result of the command “show ip bgp neighbor 10.36.1.4 received-routes”, which displays all received routes (both accepted and rejected) from the specified neighbor.

Option A is correct, because the routes displayed have traversed one or more autonomous systems. This can be seen from the AS_PATH attribute, which shows the sequence of AS numbers that the route has passed through. For example, the route 10.0.0.0/8 has an AS_PATH of 65001 65002, which means that it has traversed AS 65001 and AS 65002 before reaching the local router.

Option B is correct, because the output shows routes that were received prior to the application of any BGP import policies. This can be seen from the fact that some routes have a status code of “r”, which means that they are rejected by an import policy. The“received-routes” keyword shows the routes coming from a given neighbor before the inbound policy has been applied. To see the routes after the inbound policy has been applied, the “routes” keyword should be used instead.

Option C is incorrect, because the output does not show routes that are active and rejected by an import policy. The status code of “r” means that the route is rejected by an import policy, but it does not mean that it is active. The status code of “>” means that the route is active and selected as the best path. None of the routes in the output have both “>” and “r” status codes.

Option D is incorrect, because the routes displayed are not being learned from an IBGP peer. An IBGP peer is a BGP neighbor that belongs to the same AS as the local router. The output shows that the neighbor 10.36.1.4 has a remote AS of 65001, which is different from the local AS of 65002. Therefore, the neighbor is an EBGP peer, not an IBGP peer.

• Option B is correct. Filter-based forwarding (FBF), also known as Policy Based Routing (PBR), uses the forwarding routing instance type12.
• Option C is correct. Routing Information Base (RIB) groups are used to copy routes from one routing table to another34. In the context of FBF, RIB groups can be used to copy routes from the inet.0 routing table34.
• Option A is incorrect. FBF does not use the no-forwarding routing instance type15.
• Option D is incorrect. RIB groups are not used to hide routes in the inet.0 routing table34. They are used to share or copy routes between different routing tables34.

 In a Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) topology, the root bridge is determined by the switch with the lowest bridge priority value12. If all switches have the same priority, then the root bridge is assigned to the switch whose MAC address’s hex value is the lowest2. The default bridge priority value is 3276832. However, without the actual exhibit, it’s difficult to definitively determine which device is the root bridge. But based on the options provided, if we assume that the local device has a lower bridge priority or a lower MAC address than other devices in the network, then it could be considered as the root bridge for this RSTP topology45.

• Option B is correct. Flooding is a mechanism used in Layer 2 bridging where the switch sends incoming packets to all its ports except for the port where the packet originated1. This is done when the switch doesn’t know the destination MAC address or when the packet is a broadcast or multicast1.
• Option C is correct. Learning is another mechanism used in Layer 2 bridging where the switch learns the source MAC addresses of incoming packets and associates them with the port on which they were received23. This information is stored in a MAC address table, also known as a bridge table23.
• Option A is incorrect. Blocking is a state in Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) used to prevent loops in a network2. It’s not a mechanism used in building and maintaining a Layer 2 bridge table2.
• Option D is incorrect. Listening is also a state in Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) where the switch listens for BPDUs to make sure no loops occur in the network before transitioning to the learning state2. It’s not a mechanism used in building and maintaining a Layer 2 bridge table2.

• C is correct because Layer 2 control traffic is permitted on the secondary link of a redundant trunk group (RTG) on EX Series switches. Layer 2 control traffic includes protocols such as LLDP, LACP, and STP, which are used to exchange information and coordinate actions between switches1. According to the Juniper Networks documentation2, Layer 2 control traffic is allowed to pass through both the active and the secondary links of an RTG, but data traffic is only forwarded through the active link. This allows the switches to maintain their Layer 2 adjacencies and monitor the link status on both links.
• D is correct because if the active link fails, then the secondary link automatically takes over in an RTG on EX Series switches. An RTG consists of two trunk links: an active or primary link, and a secondary or backup link2. The active link is used to forward data traffic, while the secondary link is in standby mode. If the active link fails or becomes unavailable, the secondary link immediately transitions to a forwarding state and takes over the data traffic without waiting for normal STP convergence2. This provides fast recovery and redundancy for the network.

The BGP attribute that you would use to forward all Internet traffic through the R1 device is the local preference1.

The local preference is an attribute that is used within an autonomous system (AS) and exchanged between iBGP routers1. It is used to select an exit point from the AS1. The path with the highest local preference is preferred1. By setting a higher local preference for the routes received from R1, you can make R1 the preferred exit point for all Internet traffic1.

The default MAC age-out timer on an EX Series switch is 300 seconds12. The MAC age-out timer is the maximum time that an entry can remain in the MAC table before it “ages out,” or is removed31. This configuration can influence efficiency of network resource use by affecting the amount of traffic that is flooded to all interfaces1. When traffic is received for MAC addresses no longer in the Ethernet routing table, the router floods the traffic to all interfaces1.

The default keepalive time for BGP is 60 seconds1. The keepalive time is the interval at which BGP sends keepalive messages to maintain the connection with its peer1. If the keepalive message is not received within the hold time, the connection is considered lost1. By default, the hold time is three times the keepalive time, which is 180 seconds1.

Option B suggests that the BGP session is not established. This is correct because in the output, the state of the BGP session is shown as “Idle”. In BGP, an “Idle” state means that the BGP session is not currently established1.

Option C suggests that R1 is configured for AS 65400. This is also correct because in the output, it’s shown that the local AS number is 654001. The local AS number represents the Autonomous System (AS) number of the router on which you’re checking the BGP session1.
