The Graceful Routing Engine Switchover (GRES) feature in Junos OS enables a router with redundant Routing Engines to continue forwarding packets, even if one Routing Engine fails1. GRES preserves interface and kernel information, ensuring that traffic is not interrupted1. However, GRES does not preserve the control plane1.

To preserve routing during a switchover, GRES must be combined with either Graceful Restart protocol extensions or Nonstop Active Routing (NSR)1. When GRES is combined with NSR, nearly 75 percent of line rate worth of traffic per Packet Forwarding Engine remains uninterrupted during GRES1. Any updates to the primary Routing Engine are replicated to the backup Routing Engine as soon as they occur1.

Therefore, when GRES is combined with NSR, routing is preserved and the new master RE does not restart rpd1.

• A is correct because IBGP updates the next-hop attribute to ensure reachability within an AS. This is because the next-hop attribute is the IP address of the router that advertises the route to a BGP peer. If the next-hop attribute is not changed by IBGP, it would be the IP address of an external router, which may not be reachable by all routers within the AS. Therefore, IBGP updates the next-hop attribute to the IP address of the router that received the route from an EBGP peer1.
• B is correct because IBGP peers advertise routes received from EBGP peers to other IBGP peers. This is because BGP follows the rule of advertising only the best route to a destination, and EBGP routes have a higher preference than IBGP routes. Therefore, IBGP peers advertise routes learned from an EBGP peer to all BGP peers, including both EBGP and IBGP peers1.

In Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), there are several port roles that determine the behavior of the port in the spanning tree123. The roles include root, designated, alternate, backup, and disabled123.

The discarding state is associated with the backup, alternate, and disabled roles123. In a stable topology with consistent port roles throughout the network, RSTP ensures that every root port and designated port immediately transition to the forwarding state while all alternate and backup ports are always in the discarding state2. Disabled ports are also in the discarding state3.

Therefore, options B, C, and D are correct.
