Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 105

Question 1040

During a review, the administrator for Meridian Insurance is asked to build a small campus with a combined distribution and core layer. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Use the service set identifier or SSID
  2. Make both link ends negotiate or explicitly agree on matching duplex
  3. Use a router with interfaces or subinterfaces in both routed networks
  4. Use a collapsed-core two-tier campus design

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The access layer connects endpoints while the collapsed core aggregates access and provides routing. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

An SSID is the logical wireless network name advertised or provisioned to clients. That is not sufficient here: The access layer connects endpoints while the collapsed core aggregates access and provides routing.

B:

A full/half duplex mismatch creates errors and poor performance even if the link stays up. That is not sufficient here: The access layer connects endpoints while the collapsed core aggregates access and provides routing.

C:

Routing selects a next hop from a destination IP prefix instead of forwarding solely by MAC address. That is not sufficient here: The access layer connects endpoints while the collapsed core aggregates access and provides routing.

Question 1041

A branch design for Sable Ridge Manufacturing has two requirements: (1) reduce employee susceptibility to credential phishing, and (2) prevent unauthorized visitors from entering a network equipment room. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, add an explicit permit for eligible remaining traffic; then use badge-controlled physical access with audited entry logs.
  2. First, run periodic phishing-awareness training and simulated exercises; then use badge-controlled physical access with audited entry logs.
  3. First, use controlled site-to-site IPsec gateway tunnels; then deny TCP destination port 23 with the intended host match, and permit TCP 22 as required.
  4. First, run periodic phishing-awareness training and simulated exercises; then enforce multifactor authentication where available.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) User education helps people identify suspicious login requests and social-engineering cues. (2) Physical access controls reduce direct device tampering or console misuse. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses allow the rest of an ACL's traffic after a specific deny. Without a final permit, the implicit deny blocks traffic not otherwise matched. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use controlled site-to-site IPsec gateway tunnels is for choose a VPN topology for dozens of branches connecting two headquarters networks, and Deny TCP destination port 23 with the intended host match, and permit TCP 22 as required is for block only inbound Telnet to a server without blocking SSH. Gateway-to-gateway VPNs connect entire protected subnets without requiring each host a remote-access client. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses raise security of admin sign-in beyond only a password. Multiple independent factors reduce reliance on one compromised secret. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 1042

A router receives a packet for destination 10.165.201.118. Its installed forwarding table contains 10.0.0.0/8 via 192.0.2.1; 10.165.0.0/16 via 192.0.2.2; 10.165.201.0/24 via 192.0.2.3; 10.165.201.112/28 via 192.0.2.4. Assume all routes are valid. Which route does ordinary IPv4 forwarding use?

  1. 10.165.201.0/24 via 192.0.2.3
  2. 10.165.201.112/28 via 192.0.2.4
  3. 10.165.0.0/16 via 192.0.2.2
  4. 10.0.0.0/8 via 192.0.2.1

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

10.165.201.112/28 has /28, the longest prefix that matches 10.165.201.118. Forwarding prefers specificity over other route metadata.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That route also matches but its prefix length is shorter than /28; a more-specific matching prefix wins.

C:

That explanation does not distinguish this option. “10.165.0.0/16 via 192.0.2.2” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.

D:

That explanation does not distinguish this option. “10.0.0.0/8 via 192.0.2.1” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.

Question 1043

An operations ticket for Summit Research has two requirements: (1) avoid a blocked STP link unexpectedly forwarding after BPDUs disappear, and (2) publish a wireless network name for corporate users from a WLC. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Configure a supported WPA2-Personal PSK WLAN
  2. Create and enable the WLAN/SSID in the controller GUI
  3. Recognize VLAN 1 as the default access VLAN
  4. Enable Root Guard on the intended designated port
  5. Enable Loop Guard on eligible non-designated spanning-tree links

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

Correct for outcome (2): The WLAN profile binds an SSID to its wireless security and policy configuration. It complements the first required control.

E:

Correct for outcome (1): Loop Guard can hold a port in loop-inconsistent state when BPDUs cease unexpectedly. The other outcome needs its separate action.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Not selected: Configure a supported WPA2-Personal PSK WLAN is for connect enterprise WLAN clients using a passphrase rather than per-user RADIUS credentials. WPA2-Personal authenticates users with the configured shared key, unlike enterprise 802.1X. This is not one of the two required changes.

C:

Not selected: Recognize VLAN 1 as the default access VLAN is for place untagged access switchports into their default VLAN on a factory-reset switch. Cisco default Layer 2 switchports belong to VLAN 1 until explicitly assigned otherwise. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

D:

Not selected: Enable Root Guard on the intended designated port is for prevent a downstream switch from claiming the root role over an uplink. Root Guard holds the port in a root-inconsistent state if superior BPDUs arrive. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

Question 1044

Meridian Insurance needs to permit only TCP port 443 to an internal HTTPS server. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Use an extended ACL permit tcp with the server destination and eq 443
  2. Deploy an approved remote-access VPN client and headend
  3. Add approved static ARP ACL validation entries or equivalent supported bindings
  4. Configure switchport port-security maximum 2 on the access interface

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

An extended ACL can distinguish HTTPS TCP traffic from other server ports. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Remote access VPNs establish an encrypted session for an individual endpoint. That is not sufficient here: An extended ACL can distinguish HTTPS TCP traffic from other server ports.

C:

DAI needs a trusted IP/MAC association for hosts without DHCP-snooping entries. That is not sufficient here: An extended ACL can distinguish HTTPS TCP traffic from other server ports.

D:

Port security can cap how many source MAC addresses the port accepts. That is not sufficient here: An extended ACL can distinguish HTTPS TCP traffic from other server ports.

Question 1045

A branch design for Cedarline Hotels has two requirements: (1) route to one IPv6 host rather than its whole /64 subnet, and (2) check whether a configured static route is installed. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, use an IPv6 static /128 host route with a valid next hop; then inspect show ip route static and next-hop reachability.
  2. First, deliver it to the local protocol stack rather than remote routing; then compare OSPF path metrics for the eligible equal-distance protocol routes.
  3. First, use an IPv6 static /128 host route with a valid next hop; then make their OSPF interface timers compatible.
  4. First, run show ip ospf neighbor and inspect state; then inspect show ip route static and next-hop reachability.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) A /128 prefix matches a single IPv6 unicast address. (2) A static route must resolve an eligible next hop or egress path to be usable. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Deliver it to the local protocol stack rather than remote routing is for forward an IP packet arriving for the router's local interface address, and Compare OSPF path metrics for the eligible equal-distance protocol routes is for choose between OSPF routes for the same prefix learned from two paths. A local host route represents the router's own address, not a remote network. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses diagnose OSPF peers with different hello/dead intervals. Mismatched OSPF hello and dead intervals can prevent neighbor adjacency formation. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses verify that OSPF neighbors reached the FULL state. The neighbor table shows adjacency state and neighbor identifiers on OSPF interfaces. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 1046

An internal OSPF route (distance 110) currently provides 172.25.20.0/24. A backup static route must use next hop 192.0.2.10 only after OSPF withdraws the prefix. Which configuration correctly expresses that backup?

  1. ip route 172.25.20.0 255.255.255.0 192.0.2.10
  2. ip route 172.25.20.0 255.255.255.0 192.0.2.10 90
  3. ip route 172.25.20.0 255.255.255.0 192.0.2.10 200
  4. ip route 172.25.20.0 255.255.255.0 192.0.2.10 110

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Distance 200 is greater than OSPF 110, so the reachable static route remains a floating backup for this identical prefix.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A default static distance of 1 would normally supersede the OSPF route while both are available.

B:

Distance 90 is preferred over OSPF 110 and would not remain a standby route.

D:

A tie at 110 is not the explicit higher distance needed for the specified floating backup.

Question 1047

A host 203.0.113.6/30 is configured with default gateway 203.0.113.5. What is the expected subnet calculation?

  1. The gateway .5 belongs to a different /30 subnet
  2. The host .6 must be broadcast for the /30
  3. Both .5 and .6 are ordinary usable addresses in the 203.0.113.4/30 subnet.
  4. No usable hosts exist in any /30 IPv4 subnet

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A conventional /30 spans .4–.7, using .4 as network, .7 as broadcast and .5/.6 for the two endpoints.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The .4/30 block includes .5 and .6 together.

B:

The broadcast for .4/30 is .7, not .6.

D:

A conventional /30 provides two ordinary usable endpoint addresses.

Question 1048

A branch design for Cedarline Hotels has two requirements: (1) explain why newly created VLAN hosts cannot talk across VLANs by default, and (2) provide a controller-based WLAN where management and data can be centralized. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Remove it from the trunk allowed VLAN list
  2. Use lightweight APs with a WLC and their control tunnels
  3. Configure VLAN SVIs with IP addresses and enable ip routing
  4. Add routing through an SVI or router gateway
  5. Treat CDP and LLDP neighbors as directly connected Layer 2 evidence

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

Correct for outcome (2): The controller coordinates WLAN configuration and may centralize traffic depending on AP mode. It complements the first required control.

D:

Correct for outcome (1): A Layer 2 VLAN boundary does not forward IPv4 packets between IP subnets by itself. The other outcome needs its separate action.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Not selected: Remove it from the trunk allowed VLAN list is for prevent an unused VLAN from crossing a trunk link. The allowed list determines which tagged VLANs may traverse the trunk. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

C:

Not selected: Configure VLAN SVIs with IP addresses and enable ip routing is for route between VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 using a multilayer switch. Layer 3 forwarding across VLANs requires an active routed interface for each subnet. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

E:

Not selected: Treat CDP and LLDP neighbors as directly connected Layer 2 evidence is for differentiate topology discovery from actual routing reachability. Discovery advertisements do not prove that an IP route exists or that remote hosts are reachable. This is not one of the two required changes.

Question 1049

Stonebridge Learning needs to protect confidentiality of management credentials in transit. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Enable DHCP snooping and designate only known DHCP-server uplinks as trusted
  2. Use authenticated encryption on management protocols
  3. Use a standard ACL deny for that source IP followed by required permits
  4. Mark only the legitimate server-facing or relay uplink as DHCP snooping trusted

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Encryption prevents passive observation of session data while authentication limits impersonation. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

DHCP snooping drops server-style messages received on untrusted ports. That is not sufficient here: Encryption prevents passive observation of session data while authentication limits impersonation.

C:

Standard ACLs match IPv4 source addresses rather than destination ports. That is not sufficient here: Encryption prevents passive observation of session data while authentication limits impersonation.

D:

A trusted uplink assignment without global and VLAN DHCP snooping enablement does not itself block rogue server replies on user access ports. That is not sufficient here: Encryption prevents passive observation of session data while authentication limits impersonation.

Question 1050

At Willowbrook Transit, an engineer must detect anomalous device behavior from a baseline of normal traffic. What action meets this technical need?

  1. Use a generative AI assistant with verified source context
  2. Use controlled network automation with validated templates
  3. Use anomaly detection with representative training or baseline data
  4. Use HTTP POST according to the API contract

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Anomaly detection identifies departures from learned normal patterns for investigation. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Generative models produce natural-language explanations based on supplied events and evidence. That is not sufficient here: Anomaly detection identifies departures from learned normal patterns for investigation.

B:

Automation applies repeatable tested configuration rather than relying on individually typed changes. That is not sufficient here: Anomaly detection identifies departures from learned normal patterns for investigation.

D:

POST commonly submits resource creation or actions with a payload. That is not sufficient here: Anomaly detection identifies departures from learned normal patterns for investigation.
