QuestionQ5

Ethernet Switching and Spanning Tree

Click the Exhibit button.

An unmanaged switch is installed between the hosts and the EX Series switch. After traffic enters the EX Series switch, each host must belong to a separate VLAN. How can this task be accomplished?

  • A Configure an input firewall filter on interface ge-0/0/3 to match the source MAC or IP address of the hosts to assign the VLANs.
  • B Configure an output firewall filter on interface ge-0/0/1 to match the destination MAC or IP address of the hosts to assign the VLANs.
  • C Configure interface ge-0/0/3 to a mode trunk to assign the VLANs.
  • D Configure VSTP on interface ge-0/0/1 to assign the VLANs.
Explanation

An input Ethernet-switching firewall filter on ge-0/0/3 can match each host’s source MAC or IP address as frames enter the EX4600 and assign the corresponding VLAN. Because the intermediate switch is unmanaged, it does not provide VLAN tags that would distinguish the hosts on the shared uplink; classification must occur at ingress on the EX switch. Juniper documents source MAC and source IP address as EX Series firewall-filter match conditions and supports a VLAN action for ingress VLAN filtering.
