JNCIS-SP lab 1 of 16

Protocol-independent routes and martians

Build the routes no protocol owns on Junos: a static route with a floating backup, recursive next hops, aggregates, a conditional default from a generated route, and martian handling.

Run this lab

It needs Lite: its 3 nodes are set to 5 vCPU and 7,680 MB in total. That fits the free demo too.

In your workspace: Shared, then JNCIS-SP JN0-364 guided labs, then 01 - Protocol-independent routes and martians

The scenario

Skerry Networks is a regional carrier, AS 64510. Its new Whitby point of presence has two routers: EDGE, with two links to an upstream provider, and CORE, which serves customer LANs. The two already run OSPF between them, for their loopbacks and the link. Nothing else is routed yet, so the customer LANs can't reach the upstream network. You'll build the routes that don't belong to any routing protocol, and see how Junos treats each of them.

There are no hosts in this lab. A ping from CORE with source 10.20.1.1 stands in for a customer.

What you’ll practise

  • Add static routes with qualified next hops and resolve
  • Find unusable routes with show route hidden
  • Build and export aggregate and generated routes, and compare their next hops
  • Read and change the martian list

The tasks

  1. A static route with a backup
  2. A next hop that is not connected
  3. An aggregate route
  4. A generated route
  5. Martian addresses

The Lab Tasks pane has the scenario, these tasks, the checks to run, hints and the full solution.

How to open this lab

  1. Sign in to your workspace at lab.cloudlabbox.com.

  2. In File Manager, open Shared, then the folder JNCIS-SP JN0-364 guided labs.

  3. Open 01 - Protocol-independent routes and martians and start its nodes, then open Lab Tasks for the scenario and the steps.

The lab is read-only. You can start the nodes and configure the devices, but changes to the topology can’t be saved. To change it, rebuild it in your own folder.
