JNCIA-SEC: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Security — Question 21

In which order are NAT types evaluated?

Answer options

• A. reverse static > source > static > destination
• B. source > destination > static > reverse static
• C. static > destination > reverse static > source
• D. destination > static > reverse static > source

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct sequence is 'static > destination > reverse static > source' because static NAT entries are evaluated first as they provide a direct mapping. The other options incorrectly prioritize either source or destination NAT types over static NAT, which could lead to misconfigurations.
