JNCIA-Junos: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Junos (2024) — Question 77

You are logged in to a Junos OS device with SSH and issued the show protocols | compare command in the configuration, but no output is shown.
Which statement is correct in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. You must commit the configuration before any output will be shown.
• B. There are no changes to the candidate configuration.
• C. The command only works for interface configuration differences.
• D. Someone accidentally deleted the active configuration.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the command shows differences between the candidate and active configurations, and no output indicates there are no changes. Option A is incorrect; committing is not necessary for output if there are changes. Option C is wrong since the command applies to all protocols, not just interfaces. Option D doesn't apply as it suggests a deletion which isn't indicated by the lack of output.
