JNCIA-Junos: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Junos — Question 18

A Junos device is configured with multiple routing protocols to the same destination prefix.
By default, which route will be active in the forwarding table?

Answer options

• A. an OSPF route
• B. an IS-IS route
• C. a BGP route
• D. a static route

Correct answer: D

Explanation

By default, static routes have the highest preference in Junos OS, meaning they will be the active route in the forwarding table when multiple routes exist to the same destination prefix. OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP have lower default administrative distances compared to static routes, making them less preferred in this scenario.
