What is the default load-sharing behavior on Junos when multiple next hops are installed for a prefix?

The router randomly selects a next hop for each packet.

Per-flow load balancing, where packets of the same flow use the same next hop.

Per-packet load balancing, where each packet is sent over a different next hop.

All traffic is sent over the first next hop until it fails.

What is a common reason to use BGP multihop that can indirectly affect load balancing?

To enable BGP multipath automatically.

To force all traffic to use a single path for load balancing.

To peer using loopback addresses, which provides session stability and can allow multiple paths to be used for load balancing.

To reduce the number of BGP routes in the routing table.

How does BGP load balancing influence the forwarding table?

It removes all BGP routes from the forwarding table.

It installs multiple next hops for the same prefix, enabling load sharing.

It installs only the best path to avoid complexity.

It creates a separate forwarding entry for each BGP attribute.

A network engineer configures BGP multihop between two routers that are not directly connected. The BGP session comes up, and the router receives a route with a next hop that is not directly connected. The engineer notices that the route is not installed in the forwarding table. What is the most likely reason?

The route is an internal BGP route and needs synchronization enabled.

The route has a higher MED than the current best path.

The BGP session is using the wrong local address.

The next hop is not resolvable via an IGP route.

Which command is used to verify that multiple BGP paths are installed in the forwarding table?

Load Balancing (multipath, Multihop, Forwarding Table) JN0-650 Practice Questions (Page 2)

Part of the BGP domain, which makes up ~22% of our current practice bank. Juniper Networks does not publish an official question count, but from its 90-minute exam (~35–60 total, ~8–13 in this domain), expect 1–1 from this objective — we provide 13 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
