JNCIP-SP: Juniper Networks Certified Professional – Service Provider (2022) — Question 80

You want to allow the load balancing of traffic for an EBGP route from two different peers in the same AS.
Which three actions are needed to accomplish this task? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. A policy to load-balance traffic should be applied to the forwarding table.
• B. The multipath parameter should be configured under protocols BGP.
• C. At least two interfaces should be connected to the same EBGP neighbor.
• D. An equal cost AS path for the route is required.
• E. The multihop parameter should be configured under protocols BGP.

Correct answer: A, B, D

Explanation

To enable load balancing for EBGP routes, a load-balancing policy must be applied to the forwarding table (A) and the multipath parameter needs to be set in BGP (B). Additionally, having equal cost AS paths is necessary for the routes to be balanced (D). The other options, C and E, do not contribute to load balancing in this context.
