Routing Fundamentals

What is the primary function of the forwarding table on a Junos device?

  • A It contains only active routes used to forward packets through the PFE.
  • B It advertises routes to neighboring routers.
  • C It stores all learned routes from routing protocols.
  • D It determines the best route based on route preference.
Explanation

The forwarding table contains the active routes and next-hop information actually used to forward packets. Junos installs active routes from the routing table into the forwarding table and copies that table to the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE).
