Question 6 - JN0-351 discussion

A RIB group is a configuration that allows a routing protocol to install routes into multiple routing tables in Junos OS. A RIB group consists of an import-rib statement, which specifies the source routing table, and an export-rib statement, which specifies the destination routing table or group.A RIB group can also include an import-policy statement, which specifies one or more policies to control which routes are imported into the destination routing table or group1.

An import policy is a policy statement that defines the criteria for accepting or rejecting routes from the source routing table. An import policy can also modify the attributes of the imported routes, such as preference, metric, or community.An import policy can be applied to a RIB group by using the import-policy statement under the [edit routing-options rib-groups] hierarchy level1.

Therefore, option A is correct, because an import policy is applied to the RIB group to control which routes are installed in the destination routing table or group. Option B is incorrect, because all routes in the source routing table are imported into the destination routing table or group, unless filtered by an import policy. Option C is incorrect, because a firewall filter is not used to install routes in the RIB groups; a firewall filter is used to filter packets based on various criteria. Option D is incorrect, because an export policy is not applied to the RIB group; an export policy is applied to a routing protocol to control which routes are advertised to other devices.
