JNCIP-DC: Juniper Networks Certified Professional – Data Center (2022) — Question 27

You are building a new IP fabric data center underlay network and want to ensure predictable load-balancing behavior for traffic traversing the fabric.
What are two approaches you should take to satisfy the requirement in this scenario? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Ensure that all uplinks are 40GbE.
• B. Ensure that every leaf node has a link to every other leaf node.
• C. Ensure that every leaf node has an uplink to every spine node.
• D. Ensure that all spine devices are the same switch model.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

Choosing option C ensures that each leaf node can efficiently distribute traffic across multiple spine nodes, enhancing load-balancing. Option D guarantees uniformity in switch capabilities, which aids in predictable behavior under load. Options A and B do not directly address the requirement for effective load balancing across the fabric.
