A Level 1 router can become adjacent with the Level 1 and Level 1-2 (L1/L2) router. A Level 2 router can become adjacent with Level 2 or Level 1-2 (L1/L2) router. There is no adjacency between L1 only and L2 only router. HOWEVER: If two routers are in different areas, they can only form a Level 2 adjacency. As such, two routers in different areas can NOT form a Level 1 adjacency. If you want two routers to form a Level 1 adjacency, they have to be in the same area.

IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System) operates at two levels: Level 1 and Level 2. Level 1 routers are only aware of their own area's topology, while Level 2 routers have knowledge of the topology across areas. A Level 1 router cannot form an adjacency with a Level 2 router unless the Level 2 router is also operating as a Level 1 router (Level 1-2 router). Level 2 routers can form adjacencies regardless of their area IDs because Level 2 operates at the domain level and is used to interconnect different IS-IS areas.

To create connections between routing instances on the same Junos device and route between them, you can use logical tunnel interfaces, which are virtual interfaces that can be used to route traffic between instances without the need for physical connectivity. Additionally, loopback interfaces, which represent the device itself, can be used to route traffic between routing instances as they are always up and can be reached within the device.

Graceful Routing Engine Switchover (GRES) and Nonstop Active Routing (NSR) are two features used in Junos OS to provide high availability. GRES allows for the stateful failover of the Routing Engine, and NSR allows for the continuation of packet forwarding and protocol states during a Routing Engine switchover. These technologies ensure that peer nodes are not alerted during a switchover. VRRP and ISSU serve different purposes and do not apply to this specific requirement.

The exhibit shows that the Label Switched Path (LSP) is down. One common reason for this could be that the IGP is not providing traffic engineering information to the MPLS process. Since the exhibit shows the OSPF configuration, enabling traffic engineering extensions for OSPF would allow OSPF to distribute the labels and traffic engineering information necessary for LSP establishment.

A router’s priority for becoming the designated router is indicated by an arbitrary number from 0 through 127, which you configure on the IS-IS interface. The router with the highest priority becomes the designated router for the area (Level 1, Level 2, or both), also configured on the IS-IS interface. If routers in the network have the same priority, then the router with the highest MAC address is elected as the designated router. By default, routers have a priority value of 64.

Local preference is a BGP attribute that dictates which path is preferred when multiple paths to the same destination are available. A higher local preference is preferred over a lower one. Since ISP A (AS 65501) is advertising a local preference of 100 and ISP B (AS 65502) is advertising a local preference of 200 to AS 65512, traffic from devices in AS 65512 will prefer the path via ISP B for all networks that ISP B advertises. However, since ISP A advertises the 172.20.21.0/24 network and ISP B does not, traffic for 172.20.21.0/24 will go through ISP A. For the 172.20.0.0/24 network, which both ISPs advertise, devices in AS 65512 will prefer the path via ISP B due to the higher local preference.

To configure OSPFv3 (the version of OSPF that supports IPv6), you would use the set protocols ospf3 command with the appropriate area and interface. OSPFv3 requires a 32-bit router ID just like OSPFv2, which is typically an IPv4 address. OSPF does not use a 128-bit router ID, so answer D is incorrect.

Wide metrics in IS-IS allow for a larger metric value than what is available with narrow metrics, which supports a maximum of 63. Wide metrics also enable an interface to advertise different metrics for Level 1 and Level 2, allowing for more flexible routing policies and greater scalability in large networks.

The FE80::/10 prefix is reserved for IPv6 link-local addresses. These addresses are auto-configured on all IPv6-enabled interfaces and can be used for communication within the local link (subnet) only.
