What is a key benefit of using a VNF compared to a traditional physical network function?

VNFs require dedicated hardware for each function

VNFs can be deployed and scaled more flexibly using software

VNFs eliminate the need for network configuration

VNFs always provide higher throughput than physical appliances

A service provider is deploying a VNF that must be part of a service chain. The provider wants to ensure that the VNF is automatically configured with the correct network settings when it is instantiated. Which component is responsible for this configuration?

The Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (VIM)

What is the purpose of the scaling stage in the VNF lifecycle?

To update the VNF software to a new version

To permanently remove a VNF from the network

To move a VNF to a different cloud provider

To increase or decrease the capacity of a VNF to handle changing workloads

Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) JN0-214 Practice Questions (Page 2)

Part of the Cloud Infrastructure (NFV and SDN) domain, which makes up ~19% of our current practice bank. Juniper Networks does not publish an official question count, but from its 90-minute exam (~35–60 total, ~7–11 in this domain), expect 1–2 from this objective — we provide 27 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
