Juniper JN0-480 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Juniper Apstra supports three deploy modes for devices: Deploy, Drain, and Ready. These modes determine the configuration and state of the devices in the data center fabric12.

• Deploy: This mode applies the full Apstra-rendered configuration to the device, according to the Apstra Reference Design. The device state becomes IS-ACTIVE and the device is ready to carry traffic in the fabric12.
• Drain: This mode adds a “drain” configuration to the device, which prevents any new traffic from entering the device. The device state becomes IS-READY and the device is prepared for maintenance or decommissioning12.
• Ready: This mode removes the Apstra-rendered configuration from the device, leaving only the basic configuration such as device hostname, interface descriptions, and port speed/breakout. The device state becomes IS-READY and the device is not part of the fabric12. References:

 In Juniper Apstra, a blueprint is a logical representation of the network design and configuration. When you create a new blueprint, you need to commit the changes to apply them to the network devices. However, committing the changes does not mean that the network is immediately updated and operational. It may take some time for the network to converge and reflect the new state of the blueprint. During this time, you may see some anomalies related to BGP in the main dashboard, which indicate that the BGP sessions are not established or stable between the devices. These anomalies are usually temporary and will disappear once the network converges and the BGP sessions are up and running. Therefore, the statement B is the most likely cause of these anomalies in this scenario.

The following three statements are less likely causes of these anomalies in this scenario:

• You have misconfigured ASNs. This is possible, but not very likely, because Juniper Apstra provides ASN pools that can be automatically assigned to the devices based on their roles. You can also manually specify the ASNs for the devices, but you need to ensure that they are unique and consistent with the network design. If you have misconfigured ASNs, you may see some anomalies related to BGP, but they will not disappear after the network converges. You will need to fix the ASNs and commit the changes again to resolve the anomalies.
• Spine-leaf links are incorrectly set. This is possible, but not very likely, because Juniper Apstra provides connectivity templates that can be used to define the spine-leaf links based on the interface maps. You can also manually specify the spine-leaf links, but you need to ensure that they are correct and match the physical cabling. If you have incorrectly set the spine-leaf links, you may see some anomalies related to BGP, but they will not disappear after the network converges. You will need to fix the spine-leaf links and commit the changes again to resolve the anomalies.
• A generic system has not been configured. This is not relevant, because a generic system is a device that is not managed by Juniper Apstra, but is connected to the network. A generic system does not affect the BGP sessions between the devices that are managed by Juniper Apstra. If you have a generic system in your network, you need to configure it manually and ensure that it is compatible with the network design. A generic system does not cause any anomalies related to BGP in the main dashboard.

Device profiles are objects that associate a specific vendor model to a logical device in Juniper Apstra. Device profiles contain extensive hardware model details, such as form factor, ASIC, CPU, RAM, ECMP limit, and supported features. Device profiles also define how configuration is generated, how telemetry commands are rendered, and how configuration is deployed on a device. Device profiles enable the Apstra system to render and deploy the configuration according to the Apstra Reference Design12. References:
