Juniper JN0-664 Dumps Questions Answers

VPLS is a technology that provides Layer 2 VPN services over an MPLS network. VPLS uses BGP as its control protocol to exchange VPN membership information between PE routers. The route target is a BGP extended community attribute that identifies which VPN a route belongs to. The route target must match on PE routers that participate in the same VPLS instance, otherwise they will not accept or advertise routes for that VPLS.

A sham link is a logical link between two PE routers that belong to the same OSPF area but are connected through an L3VPN. A sham link makes the PE routers appear as if they are directly connected, and prevents OSPF from preferring an intra-area back door link over the VPN backbone. To create a sham link, you need to configure the local and remote addresses of the PE routers under the [edit protocols ospf area area-id] hierarchy level1.

The provided configuration is for a routing instance named VPN-A on a Juniper PE (Provider Edge) router. Let’s break it down:

Instance Type: VRF

The instance-type vrf; statement indicates that this is a Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) using MPLS VPNs (RFC 4364 – BGP/MPLS IP VPNs).

This confirms that Option D (A Layer 3 VPN is configured) is correct ✅.

VRF Target and Interface Association

The vrf-target target:64512:1234; defines the route target (RT) for importing and exporting VPN routes.

The interface ge-0/0/1.0; binds this interface to the VRF.

BGP Configuration for CE (Customer Edge) Peering

The group CE section configures external BGP (EBGP) (type external;).

The neighbor 10.0.0.1 is in AS 64512 (peer-as 64512;).

The as-override; statement is used.

Evaluating the Answer Choices

✅ Option B: "This VPN connects customer sites that use the same AS number."

The as-override; command allows multiple customer sites that use the same AS number (64512) to communicate over the service provider’s MPLS network.

Normally, BGP prevents routes with the same AS in the AS_PATH from being accepted. The as-override feature replaces the customer's AS number with the provider’s AS, ensuring proper route advertisement.

✅ This statement is correct.

❌ Option A: "This VPN connects customer sites that use different AS numbers."

If the customer sites had different AS numbers, there would be no need for as-override.

The as-override feature is specifically used when all customer sites share the same AS number, ensuring that BGP routes are accepted.

❌ This statement is incorrect.

❌ Option C: "A Layer 2 VPN is configured."

A Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) configuration would typically use instance-type l2vpn; or EVPN/VPLS-related parameters (e.g., protocols l2vpn or protocols vpls).

Since this configuration uses instance-type vrf; and BGP with a VRF target, it is clearly a Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN).

❌ This statement is incorrect.

✅ Option D: "A Layer 3 VPN is configured."

The instance-type vrf; confirms this is an MPLS Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN).

VRFs, BGP, and route targets (vrf-target) are specific to Layer 3 VPNs.

✅ This statement is correct.

Final Answer:

✅ B. This VPN connects customer sites that use the same AS number.

✅ D. A Layer 3 VPN is configured.

Verification from Juniper Documentation:

Juniper BGP/MPLS Layer 3 VPNs Guide confirms that instance-type vrf is used for L3VPNs.

Juniper BGP Configuration Guide states that as-override is applied when customer sites use the same AS number.

RFC 4364 (BGP/MPLS IP VPNs) explains how route targets and VRFs are used in L3VPN deployments.
