JN0-480 Exam Preparation Material | Data Center, Specialist (JNCIS-DC)

Explanation:
To apply a configlet to a specific device using Juniper Apstra, you need to specify the device’s hostname and tags. The hostname is the unique identifier of the device in the Apstra system, and the tags are the labels that you can assign to the device to group it with other devices that share the same characteristics. You can use the hostname and tags to filter the devices that you want to apply the configlet to in the blueprint catalog12.

Explanation:
The cable map is a graphical representation of the physical connections between the devices in the data center fabric. It shows the status of the cables, interfaces, and BGP sessions for each device. You can use the cable map to identify and troubleshoot any cable, interface, or BGP anomalies that may occur in the fabric. You can also filter the cable map by device name, device type, device role, device state, cable state, interface state, or BGP state12.

Explanation:
BGP is the protocol used to advertise EVPN routes. EVPN routes are a new type of BGP network layer reachability information (NLRI) that carry MAC address and IP prefix information for Ethernet VPNs. EVPN routes are exchanged between PEs using BGP multiprotocol extensions (MP-BGP) over MPLS, VXLAN, SR, or SRv6 tunnels. EVPN routes enable PEs to learn the reachability of MAC addresses and IP prefixes of different sites within the same EVPN instance. EVPN routes also support various features such as fast convergence, redundancy, aliasing, and inter-subnet routing.
The other options are incorrect because:
A. OSPF is wrong because OSPF is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) that is used to advertise IP routes within an autonomous system. OSPF is not used to advertise EVPN routes, which are a type of BGP NLRI that carry MAC address and IP prefix information for Ethernet VPNs.
C. IS-IS is wrong because IS-IS is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) that is used to advertise IP routes and MPLS labels within an autonomous system. IS-IS is not used to advertise EVPN routes, which are a type of BGP NLRI that carry MAC address and IP prefix information for Ethernet VPNs.
D. RIP is wrong because RIP is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) that is used to advertise IP routes within an autonomous system. RIP is not used to advertise EVPN routes, which are a type of BGP NLRI that carry MAC address and IP prefix information for Ethernet VPNs.

Explanation:
Referring to the exhibit, the image shows the Racks table under the Staged menu in the Juniper Apstra UI. The Racks table displays the details of the racks that are used in the blueprint, such as the name, rack type, and date. The rack type is a resource that defines the type and number of leaf devices, access switches, and/or generic systems that are used in rack builds1. The image shows seven racks in the table, but only two rack types: BorderLeaf and ServerRack. Therefore, the statement D is correct in this scenario.
The following three statements are incorrect in this scenario:
- A. six. This is not true, because there are not six rack types in the table, but only two. The number six corresponds to the number of racks that have the same rack type: ServerRack.
- B. three. This is not true, because there are not three rack types in the table, but only two. The number
three does not correspond to any relevant information in the table or the image.
- C. seven. This is not true, because there are not seven rack types in the table, but only two. The number seven corresponds to the total number of racks in the table, not the rack types.
