JNCIA-Junos: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Junos (2024) — Question 29

What information does the forwarding table require so that the device forwards traffic? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. BGP local preference value
• B. next hop IP address
• C. outgoing interface name
• D. OSPF metric value
• E. next hop MAC address

Correct answer: B, C, E

Explanation

The forwarding table needs the next hop IP address (B), outgoing interface name (C), and next hop MAC address (E) to effectively route packets. The BGP local preference value (A) and OSPF metric value (D) are used for path selection but are not required for the actual forwarding process.
