JN0-102 · Question #303
In the exhibit, what does the (>) symbol indicate? user@router# run show route /24 inet.0: 142 destinations, 142 routes (141 active, 0 holddown, 1 hidden) + = Active Route, - = Last Active, = Both /24
The correct answer is C. The next hop of 172.25.213.11 is selected.. In Juniper Junos OS show route output, the > symbol preceding a next-hop entry indicates that this specific path is the currently selected or preferred route for forwarding traffic to the destination.

Why each option
In Juniper Junos OS `show route` output, the `>` symbol preceding a next-hop entry indicates that this specific path is the currently selected or preferred route for forwarding traffic to the destination.
The `>` symbol indicates route selection, not a software issue with the interface.
The `>` symbol indicates route selection, not a hardware issue with the interface.
In Junos OS `show route` output, the `>` symbol marks the currently selected or active next-hop entry among potentially multiple next-hop options for a given route. This indicates that traffic destined for `/24` will be forwarded via `172.25.213.11` through interface `ge-1/0/1.0`.
The `>` symbol indicates the next hop is selected and therefore considered resolvable; if it were not resolvable, it would not be marked as selected or the route might not be active.
