JN0-102 · Question #151

Which statement is true regarding the Junos OS?

The correct answer is B. All platforms running the Junos OS separate the functions of control and forwarding.. A fundamental characteristic of all platforms running Junos OS is the clear separation of control plane and forwarding plane functions. This architectural design enhances stability, performance, and scalability.

Why each option

A fundamental characteristic of all platforms running Junos OS is the clear separation of control plane and forwarding plane functions. This architectural design enhances stability, performance, and scalability.

AAll platforms running the Junos OS separate the functions of learning and flooding.

While some platforms may separate learning and flooding, it is not a universally true statement for 'all platforms running the Junos OS' as a fundamental architectural separation like control and forwarding.

BAll platforms running the Junos OS separate the functions of control and forwarding.Correct

The Junos OS architecture inherently separates the control plane functions, handled by the Routing Engine (RE), from the forwarding plane functions, handled by the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE), across all supported platforms. This separation is a core design principle for high performance and reliability.

CAll platforms running the Junos OS separate the functions of routing and bridging.

Routing and bridging are often performed by the same components (RE for control, PFE for forwarding) and are not separated at the architectural plane level in the same way as control and forwarding.

DAll platforms running the Junos OS separate the functions of management and routing.

Management and routing are closely related control plane functions handled by the Routing Engine, not fundamentally separated into distinct architectural planes across all platforms.
