JNCIS-SP: Juniper Networks Certified Specialist – Service Provider Routing (2023) — Question 22

When would you use the qualified-next-hop statement with a static route?

Answer options

• A. You can use it to install the static route into different routing tables.
• B. You can use it to send unwanted traffic to a null route.
• C. You can use it to specify multiple next hops with different preferences.
• D. You can use it to resolve the next hop if the next hop is not directly connected.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The qualified-next-hop statement is used to define multiple next hops for a static route, each with its own preference level, making option C the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because it does not pertain to routing tables, option B is not relevant as it deals with traffic redirection, and option D misrepresents the function of qualified-next-hop, which doesn't resolve non-directly connected next hops.
