You have recently installed a second Routing Engine (RE) in your router Which two
statements correctly describe the expected behavior if the primary RE fails? (Choose two.)
A.
The backup RE will assume the master role once the packet forwarding engine restarts
B.
The backup RE will immediately assume the master role
C.
The new master RE restarts the routing protocol process (rpd) and establishes any
required adjacencies based on the configuration.
D.
The new master RE maintains the existing protocol adjacencies initially established by
the previous master RE
ANS:
A C
A.
The backup RE will assume the master role once the packet forwarding engine restarts
C.
The new master RE restarts the routing protocol process (rpd) and establishes any
required adjacencies based on the configuration.
I don’t know if answer A is correct. I have seen this in the following link:
https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos13.3/topics/concept/routing-engine-redundacny- overview.html#section-re-redundancy-default-behavior
If graceful Routing Engine switchover is not configured, when the backup Routing Engine becomes master, it resets the switch plane and downloads its own version of the microkernel to the Packet Forwarding Engine components.
So, first the bck re becomes the master before the pfe restarts.
