Juniper Security, Professional (JNCIP-SEC) JN0-636 Exam Dumps: Updated Questions & Answers (October 2025)

To enable inter-tenant communication with tenant system, you need to use an external router or a logical tunnel interface. The other options are incorrect because:

A. Interconnecting EVPN switch is not a valid solution for inter-tenant communication with tenant system. EVPN (Ethernet VPN) is a technology that provides layer 2 connectivity over an IP network. It can be used to connect different logical systems on the same device, but not tenant systems. Tenant systems are isolated from each other and do not share the same layer 2 domain1.

B. Interconnecting VPLS switch is also not a valid solution for inter-tenant communication with tenant system. VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service) is another technology that provides layer 2 connectivity over an IP network. It can also be used to connect different logical systems on the same device, but not tenant systems. Tenant systems are isolated from each other and do not share the same layer 2 domain1.

Therefore, the correct answer is C and D. You need to use an external router or a logical tunnel interface to enable inter-tenant communication with tenant system. To do so, you need to perform the following steps:

For external router, you need to connect the external router to the interfaces of the tenant systems that you want to communicate with. You also need to configure the routing protocols and policies on the external router and the tenant systems to exchange routes and traffic. The external router acts as a gateway between the tenant systems and provides layer 3 connectivity2.

For logical tunnel interface, you need to create a logical tunnel interface on the device and assign it to a tenant system. You also need to configure the IP address and routing protocols on the logical tunnel interface and the tenant systems that you want to communicate with. The logical tunnel interface acts as a virtual link between the tenant systems and provides layer 3 connectivity3.

According to the security flow trace in the exhibit, the packets are dropped for self but not interested. This means that the SRX device is receiving packets destined to itself, but it does not have the corresponding service configured in the host-inbound-traffic stanza for the interface1. In this case, the service is BGP, which uses TCP port 179. Therefore, the correct action to solve the problem on the SRX device is to add BGP to the allowed host-inbound-traffic for the interface. This can be done by using the following command:

set security zones security-zone interfaces host-inbound-traffic system-services bgp

This command will allow the SRX device to accept BGP packets on the specified interface and zone. Alternatively, the command can be applied to all interfaces in a zone by using the all-interfaces option2.

Proxy ARP is a technique used by routers to answer ARP requests on one network segment on behalf of hosts on another network segment. This is useful in situations where a host on one network segment needs to communicate with a host on another network segment, but the two hosts are not directly connected. In this case, the router acts as a proxy, answering ARP requests on behalf of the other host. In the exhibit, the vSRX device is configured to use a pool of addresses that are in the same subnet as the external interface ge-0/0/0 for source NAT. This means that the vSRX device will translate the source IP address of the internal hosts to one of the addresses in the pool before sending the packets to the external network. However, the external hosts will not know how to reach the NATed addresses, since they are not directly connected to the vSRX device. They will send ARP requests for the NATed addresses, expecting to receive a MAC address from the vSRX device. If proxy ARP is not enabled on the vSRX device, it will not respond to these ARP requests, since it does not have the NATed addresses configured on its interface. The ARP requests will time out and the packets will be dropped by the external hosts or the service provider router. To solve this problem, proxy ARP must be enabled on the vSRX device for the NATed addresses. This will allow the vSRX device to respond to the ARP requests from the external hosts, providing its own MAC address as the destination. The external hosts will then send the packets to the vSRX device, which will reverse the NAT and forward the packets to the internal hosts. References:

The two types of source NAT translations that are supported in this scenario are translation of IPv4 hosts to IPv6 hosts with or without port address translation, and translation of one IPv6 subnet to another IPv6 subnet without port address translation. These are the types of source NAT translations that are supported by the Junos OS for IPv6 NAT. Translation of IPv4 hosts to IPv6 hosts allows IPv4-only hosts to communicate with IPv6-only hosts by changing the source IPv4 address to a corresponding IPv6 address. Port address translation can be optionally enabled to conserve IPv6 addresses by using different port numbers for different sessions. Translation of one IPv6 subnet to another IPv6 subnet allows IPv6 hosts to use a different IPv6 address range for outbound traffic, such as for security or policy reasons. Port address translation is not supported for this type of translation, as IPv6 addresses are abundant and do not need to be conserved. References: Juniper Security, Professional (JNCIP-SEC) Reference Materials source and documents: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/concept/security-nat-ipv6-overview.html

To troubleshoot the traffic problem using the match criteria, you need to use the show security match-policies CLI command. The other options are incorrect because:

A. The show security policy-report CLI command displays the policy report, which is a summary of the policy usage statistics, such as the number of sessions, bytes, and packets that match each policy. It does not show the match criteria or the reason why the traffic is not hitting the policy1.

B. The show security application-tracking counters CLI command displays the application tracking counters, which are the statistics of the application usage, such as the number of sessions, bytes, and packets that match each application. It does not show the match criteria or the reason why the traffic is not hitting the policy2.

D. The request security policies check CLI command checks the validity and consistency of the security policies, such as the syntax, the references, and the conflicts. It does not show the match criteria or the reason why the traffic is not hitting the policy3.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. You need to use the show security match-policies CLI command to troubleshoot the traffic problem using the match criteria. The show security match-policies CLI command displays the policies that match the specified criteria, such as the source and destination addresses, the zones, the protocols, and the ports. It also shows the action and the hit count of each matching policy. You can use this command to verify if the traffic is matching the expected policy or not, and if not, what policy is blocking or rejecting the traffic4

To find an infected host and where the attack came from using the Juniper ATP Cloud, you need to use the Hosts and Threat Sources monitor workspaces. The other options are incorrect because:

B. The File Scanning monitor workspace shows the files that have been scanned by the Juniper ATP Cloud and their verdicts (clean, malicious, or unknown). It does not show the infected hosts or the attack sources1.

D. The Encrypted Traffic monitor workspace shows the encrypted traffic that has been decrypted by the Juniper ATP Cloud and the certificates that have been used. It does not show the infected hosts or the attack sources2.

Therefore, the correct answer is A and C. You need to use the Hosts and Threat Sources monitor workspaces to find an infected host and where the attack came from using the Juniper ATP Cloud. To do so, you need to perform the following steps:

For Hosts, you need to access the Hosts monitor workspace in the Juniper ATP Cloud WebUI by selecting Monitor > Hosts. You can see the list of hosts that have been detected by the Juniper ATP Cloud and their risk scores, infection levels, and threat categories. You can filter the hosts by various criteria, such as IP address, hostname, domain, or threat category. You can also drill down into each host to see the details of the files, applications, and incidents associated with the host. You can identify the infected host by looking for the host with the highest risk score, infection level, or threat category3.

For Threat Sources, you need to access the Threat Sources monitor workspace in the Juniper ATP Cloud WebUI by selecting Monitor > Threat Sources. You can see the list of threat sources that have been detected by the Juniper ATP Cloud and their risk scores, threat categories, and geolocations. You can filter the threat sources by various criteria, such as IP address, domain, or threat category. You can also drill down into each threat source to see the details of the files, applications, and incidents associated with the threat source. You can identify the attack source by looking for the threat source with the highest risk score, threat category, or geolocation that matches the infected host.

The exhibit shows the configuration of filter-based forwarding on an SRX Series device. Filter-based forwarding is a feature that allows the device to use firewall filters to direct traffic to different routing instances based on the match criteria. In this scenario, the device has two routing instances - ISP-1 and ISP-2 - and two firewall filters - FBF and FBF-ISP-1. The FBF filter is applied to the ge-0/0/1 interface as an input filter. The FBF filter has one term that matches the traffic from the 172.25.0.0/24 network and directs it to the ISP-1 routing instance. The ISP-1 routing instance has a static route to the next hop 172.20.0.2. The FBF-ISP-1 filter is applied to the ge-0/0/0 interface as an output filter. The FBF-ISP-1 filter has one term that matches the traffic to the 172.20.0.2 next hop and sets the forwarding class to expedited-forwarding.

The problem in this scenario is that the traffic from the other network (172.25.1.0/24) is not being forwarded to the upstream 172.21.0.2 neighbor. This is because the FBF filter does not have a term that accepts the traffic from the 172.25.1.0/24 network. The FBF filter only has one term that matches the traffic from the 172.25.0.0/24 network and directs it to the ISP-1 routing instance. The traffic from the 172.25.1.0/24 network does not match this term and is therefore discarded by the implicit deny action at the end of the filter. The traffic from the 172.25.1.0/24 network should be forwarded to the ISP-2 routing instance, which has a static default route to the next hop 172.21.0.2.

To solve this problem, you must add another term to the FBF filter to accept the traffic from the 172.25.1.0/24 network. This term should have the action accept, which means that the traffic will be forwarded according to the routing table of the master routing instance. The master routing instance has a static default route to the ISP-2 routing instance, which in turn has a static default route to the next hop 172.21.0.2. By adding this term, the traffic from the 172.25.1.0/24 network will be forwarded to the upstream 172.21.0.2 neighbor as expected.

The configuration of the new term in the FBF filter could look something like this:

[edit firewall family inet filter FBF] term 2 { from { source-address { 172.25.1.0/24; } } then { accept; } }

The source address is translated because the traceoptions output shows that the source IP address 192.168.5.2 is translated to 192.168.100.1 and the source port 0 is translated to 14777. The traceoptions output also shows the flag flow_first_src_xlate, which indicates that this is the first time that source NAT is applied to this session.

The packet is an SSH packet because the traceoptions output shows that the application protocol is tcp/22, which is the default port for SSH. The traceoptions output also shows the flag flow_tcp_syn, which indicates that this is the first packet of a TCP connection.
