IP-IP tunnels are a type of tunnels that use IP as both the encapsulating and encapsulated protocol. IP-IP tunnels are simple and easy to configure, but they do not provide any security or authentication features. IP-IP tunnels only support encapsulating IP traffic, which means that the payload of the inner packet must be an IP packet. IP-IP tunnels cannot encapsulate non-IP traffic, such as Ethernet frames or MPLS labels1.
Option A is correct, because IP-IP tunnels only support encapsulating IP traffic. Option B is incorrect, because IP-IP tunnels only support encapsulating non-IP traffic. Option C is incorrect, because the TTL in the inner packet is not decremented during transit to the tunnel endpoint. The TTL in the outer packet is decremented by each router along the path, but the TTL in the inner packet is preserved until it reaches the tunnel endpoint2. Option D is incorrect, because there are 20 bytes of overhead with IP-IP encapsulation. The overhead consists of the header of the outer packet, which has a fixed size of 20 bytes for IPv43.

Question 2
Which two types of tunnels are able to be created on all Junos devices? (Choose two.)
Options:
A.
STP
B.
GRE
C.
IP-IP
D.
IPsec
Answer:
B, D
Explanation:
Explanation:
Junos devices support various types of tunnels for different purposes12.
Option B is correct. Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol that can encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocols inside virtual point-to-point links over an Internet Protocol network1. Junos devices support GRE tunnels1.
Option D is correct. IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) is a protocol suite for securing Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session1. Junos devices support IPsec tunnels1.
Option A is incorrect. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is not a type of tunnel. It’s a network protocol designed to prevent loops in a bridged Ethernet local area network2.
Option C is incorrect. While Junos devices do support IP-IP (also known as IP tunneling), it’s not supported on all Junos devices1.
Question 3
Which two statements about redundant trunk groups on EX Series switches are correct? (Choose two.)
Options:
A.
Redundant trunk groups use spanning tree to provide loop-free redundant uplinks.
B.
Redundant trunk groups load balance traffic across two designated uplink interfaces.
C.
Layer 2 control traffic is permitted on the secondary link.
D.
If the active link fails, then the secondary link automatically takes over.
Answer:
C, D
Explanation:
Explanation:
C is correct because Layer 2 control traffic is permitted on the secondary link of a redundant trunk group (RTG) on EX Series switches. Layer 2 control traffic includes protocols such as LLDP, LACP, and STP, which are used to exchange information and coordinate actions between switches1. According to the Juniper Networks documentation2, Layer 2 control traffic is allowed to pass through both the active and the secondary links of an RTG, but data traffic is only forwarded through the active link. This allows the switches to maintain their Layer 2 adjacencies and monitor the link status on both links.
D is correct because if the active link fails, then the secondary link automatically takes over in an RTG on EX Series switches. An RTG consists of two trunk links: an active or primary link, and a secondary or backup link2. The active link is used to forward data traffic, while the secondary link is in standby mode. If the active link fails or becomes unavailable, the secondary link immediately transitions to a forwarding state and takes over the data traffic without waiting for normal STP convergence2. This provides fast recovery and redundancy for the network.
