Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 11

Question 100

On shared broadcast Ethernet Gi0/0, R1 uses 10.56.8.1/29 and R2 uses 10.56.8.18/29, with matching OSPF area, timers, and authentication. They fail to form adjacency. Which IP change fixes their subnet mismatch without duplicating R1’s address?

  1. Raise R2 OSPF priority without changing either subnet
  2. Configure R2 Gi0/0 as 10.56.8.18/30 without moving R1
  3. Configure R2 Gi0/0 as 10.56.8.1/29, duplicating R1
  4. Configure R2 Gi0/0 as 10.56.8.2/29, an unused host in R1 subnet

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

R1 10.56.8.1/29 is in 10.56.8.0/29; R2 10.56.8.2/29 is a different usable address in that same on-link subnet.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This action does not correct the exact interface/OSPF mismatch shown in the scenario.

B:

That explanation does not distinguish this option. “Configure R2 Gi0/0 as 10.56.8.18/30 without moving R1” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.

C:

That explanation does not distinguish this option. “Configure R2 Gi0/0 as 10.56.8.1/29, duplicating R1” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.

Question 101

A branch design for Cascade Health has two requirements: (1) avoid confusing proof of identity with permission to change a VLAN, and (2) verify user identity before permitting an administrative login. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Separate authentication from authorization in AAA
  2. Use WPA3-Personal with compatible clients
  3. Use DHCP snooping on the client VLAN
  4. Use a standard ACL deny for that source IP followed by required permits
  5. Use authentication as the first AAA function

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct for outcome (1): A valid credential alone does not entitle a user to modify network configuration. The other outcome needs its separate action.

E:

Correct for outcome (2): Authentication proves who or what is requesting access. It complements the first required control.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Not selected: Use WPA3-Personal with compatible clients is for gain SAE-based password authentication on a modern wireless LAN. WPA3-Personal uses SAE for password-authenticated key establishment. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

C:

Not selected: Use DHCP snooping on the client VLAN is for build an authoritative IP-to-MAC-to-port binding table from legitimate DHCP leases. The snooping binding database records approved DHCP assignments for downstream validation. This is not one of the two required changes.

D:

Not selected: Use a standard ACL deny for that source IP followed by required permits is for deny one known infected source IP regardless of destination using a simple filter. Standard ACLs match IPv4 source addresses rather than destination ports. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

Question 102

The only entries on an IOS router are a connected 192.0.2.0/24 LAN and a static 203.0.113.0/24 remote route. A packet for 198.51.100.12 arrives, and no default route is present. What must the router do?

  1. Forward it over the connected LAN because some interface is up
  2. Send the packet to the remote 203.0.113.0/24 next hop
  3. Flood the packet out every interface to discover its destination
  4. Discard the packet because there is no matching route to its destination.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

A router cannot derive a next hop from an unrelated connected or remote prefix. With no matching route or default, it cannot forward the destination.

Incorrect Answers

A:

An active interface is not a route for arbitrary unrelated addresses.

B:

A route for 203.0.113.0/24 does not match 198.51.100.12.

C:

Layer 3 routing does not flood unknown unicast destination networks as switches sometimes flood unknown MAC frames.

Question 103

A workstation at 10.15.8.30/28 uses gateway 10.15.8.17. Will this gateway be on the same IPv4 subnet?

  1. No; a /28 subnet can never include more than eight host addresses
  2. Yes; both addresses are in 10.15.8.16/28, whose ordinary hosts are .17–.30.
  3. No; only consecutive .29 and .30 may communicate without a router
  4. Yes; because all 10.15.8.x addresses are automatically one /24

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The 16-address subnet spans .16–.31, so .17 and .30 are usable addresses within the same network; .31 is broadcast.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A /28 includes sixteen addresses and fourteen ordinary usable hosts.

C:

The /28 mask, rather than adjacency of last-octet numbers, determines on-link membership.

D:

The two addresses are on-link in this /28, not because a different /24 is assumed.

Question 104

A network upgrade at Pinecrest Schools has two requirements: (1) explain why a point-to-point OSPF link has no DR election, and (2) distinguish static route entries from learned routes. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, run show ip ospf neighbor and inspect state; then look for a route marked O in the IPv4 route table.
  2. First, recognize point-to-point OSPF network type; then recognize the S routing table code.
  3. First, recognize point-to-point OSPF network type; then use ip route 10.40.8.0 255.255.254.0 with the valid next hop.
  4. First, expect an FHRP backup peer to assume the virtual gateway role; then recognize the S routing table code.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Point-to-point OSPF forms a direct adjacency without broadcast-media DR/BDR roles. (2) Cisco IOS marks configured static routes with S in show ip route. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Run show ip ospf neighbor and inspect state is for verify that OSPF neighbors reached the FULL state, and Look for a route marked O in the IPv4 route table is for recognize a route learned through single-area OSPF in the routing table. The neighbor table shows adjacency state and neighbor identifiers on OSPF interfaces. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses install a network static route to 10.40.8.0/23. A /23 mask covers the two adjacent /24s 10.40.8.0 and 10.40.9.0. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses recognize a standby gateway takeover after the active router fails. First-hop redundancy coordinates gateway ownership and failover for attached hosts. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 105

An acceptance check at Cedarline Hotels has two requirements: (1) prevent an interface from sending OSPF hello packets while still advertising its connected network, and (2) interpret a directly connected interface network versus remote learned network. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, inspect show standby and active/standby states; then distinguish connected C entries from O or S routes.
  2. First, configure passive-interface on the relevant OSPF interface; then find the default 0.0.0.0/0 route and gateway of last resort.
  3. First, compare their configured router IDs; then configure the target prefix with the valid outgoing point-to-point interface.
  4. First, configure passive-interface on the relevant OSPF interface; then distinguish connected C entries from O or S routes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Passive interfaces suppress OSPF neighbor hello formation while eligible network prefixes remain advertised. (2) Directly connected prefixes have an attached interface, while remote routes require a next hop or recursion. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses verify which Cisco router currently owns an HSRP virtual gateway. Cisco HSRP status identifies the virtual IP, role, priority, and participating peers. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses identify the route of last resort in an IPv4 routing table. A default route handles destinations not covered by a more-specific installed route. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Compare their configured router IDs is for identify which router becomes the OSPF DR among two equal-priority routers, and Configure the target prefix with the valid outgoing point-to-point interface is for install a route toward an adjacent directly connected point-to-point interface. Higher router ID wins the DR election priority tie when both are otherwise eligible. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 106

A branch design for Granite Works has two requirements: (1) reduce manual repeated VLAN configuration errors across many devices, and (2) explain why controller failure does not necessarily stop all existing forwarding. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Keep the underlay network operational for packet transport
  2. Use the underlay network
  3. Use controlled network automation with validated templates
  4. Require validated evidence and human/network policy checks before execution
  5. Distinguish distributed device data planes from centralized management/control functions

Explanation

Correct Answers

C:

Correct for outcome (1): Automation applies repeatable tested configuration rather than relying on individually typed changes. The other outcome needs its separate action.

E:

Correct for outcome (2): Depending on architecture, devices can continue forwarding installed state when the controller is unreachable. It complements the first required control.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Not selected: Keep the underlay network operational for packet transport is for avoid treating a software-defined controller as a replacement for physical forwarding links. Controller-based policies still rely on forwarding infrastructure and physical connectivity. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

B:

Not selected: Use the underlay network is for identify the physical routed transport that carries tunneled traffic between fabric nodes. The underlay provides physical/routed reachability for encapsulated overlay transport. This is not one of the two required changes.

D:

Not selected: Require validated evidence and human/network policy checks before execution is for avoid trusting an AI-recommended change without checking live configuration. AI suggestions are fallible and should not bypass deterministic authorization or operational verification. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

Question 107

A change advisory for Meridian Insurance has two requirements: (1) differentiate route calculation from actual packet switching, and (2) provide a service-facing way for an application to request network policy from a controller. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, roll out changes to a small validated device group before fleet-wide execution; then use a northbound API.
  2. First, use a controller to maintain centralized policy and abstract device configuration; then recognize the software-defined network fabric architecture.
  3. First, separate control-plane decisions from data-plane forwarding; then use a northbound API.
  4. First, separate control-plane decisions from data-plane forwarding; then recognize HTTP status 201 Created where the API follows that convention.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) The control plane computes state while the data plane forwards packets according to installed entries. (2) Northbound APIs expose controller abstractions to higher-level orchestration or applications. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses limit the blast radius of a faulty automation deployment. Staged automation reduces the number of devices affected by an unexpected template error. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use a controller to maintain centralized policy and abstract device configuration is for contrast manually configured per-device control logic with controller-based management, and Recognize the software-defined network fabric architecture is for name the combination of underlay, overlay, and policy/control services. Controller-managed networking can coordinate policy across devices instead of requiring each device configured separately. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses interpret a successful REST resource creation response. HTTP 201 indicates a resource was created, often with a Location header. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 108

An acceptance check at Pinecrest Schools has two requirements: (1) forward an IP packet arriving for the router's local interface address, and (2) choose a /27 destination route over a matching /24 route. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, deliver it to the local protocol stack rather than remote routing; then recognize point-to-point OSPF network type.
  2. First, use router ospf with network statements and wildcard masks for area 0; then apply the longest-prefix-match forwarding rule.
  3. First, deliver it to the local protocol stack rather than remote routing; then apply the longest-prefix-match forwarding rule.
  4. First, compare administrative distances of static 1 and OSPF 110; then find the default 0.0.0.0/0 route and gateway of last resort.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) A local host route represents the router's own address, not a remote network. (2) Among matching prefixes, the route with the most significant matched bits wins forwarding. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses explain why a point-to-point OSPF link has no DR election. Point-to-point OSPF forms a direct adjacency without broadcast-media DR/BDR roles. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses enable single-area OSPF on matching IPv4 interfaces. OSPF network statements select interfaces for the specified area using address and wildcard matching. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Compare administrative distances of static 1 and OSPF 110 is for choose a static route over an OSPF route to the exact same prefix when both are valid, and Find the default 0.0.0.0/0 route and gateway of last resort is for identify the route of last resort in an IPv4 routing table. Administrative distance selects the preferred source of identical-prefix routes before comparing metrics. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 109

An acceptance check at Eastbrook Labs has two requirements: (1) provide a controller-based WLAN where management and data can be centralized, and (2) deploy standalone wireless connectivity at a tiny site without a central WLC. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, use lightweight APs with a WLC and their control tunnels; then use a supported autonomous AP mode or small-business AP.
  2. First, configure the AP switchport for the intended management access VLAN; then enable BPDU Guard on the PortFast edge port.
  3. First, avoid BPDU filter on unmanaged switch-to-switch links; then use a supported autonomous AP mode or small-business AP.
  4. First, use lightweight APs with a WLC and their control tunnels; then enable Root Guard on the intended designated port.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) The controller coordinates WLAN configuration and may centralize traffic depending on AP mode. (2) An autonomous or locally managed AP does not depend on a separate enterprise WLC for all management. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Configure the AP switchport for the intended management access VLAN is for connect a lightweight AP expecting one untagged management VLAN on an access port, and Enable BPDU Guard on the PortFast edge port is for shut an edge port immediately if an unexpected switch BPDU arrives. The AP needs a reachable management segment to discover and communicate with the controller. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses explain why indiscriminate BPDU filtering risks a bridging loop. Suppressing BPDUs can hide redundant links from spanning-tree loop prevention. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses 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. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 110

Switches on one Rapid PVST+ VLAN instance advertise these bridge IDs: SW-1 (priority 16384, MAC 7c7be5e59e30); SW-2 (priority 32768, MAC 3774c0893e9c); SW-3 (priority 12288, MAC 586873313aab); SW-4 (priority 20480, MAC 14ca4b5bc9b5). They are powered on with no previous root. Which switch is the elected root?

  1. SW-2 (priority 32768, MAC 3774c0893e9c)
  2. SW-4 (priority 20480, MAC 14ca4b5bc9b5)
  3. SW-1 (priority 16384, MAC 7c7be5e59e30)
  4. SW-3 (priority 12288, MAC 586873313aab)

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The STP root is the switch with the numerically lowest bridge ID: priority is compared first, followed by MAC on ties. SW-3 has the lowest priority 12288.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Its advertised priority is greater than the winner 12288, and no tie breaker changes the result.

B:

That explanation does not distinguish this option. “SW-4 (priority 20480, MAC 14ca4b5bc9b5)” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.

C:

That explanation does not distinguish this option. “SW-1 (priority 16384, MAC 7c7be5e59e30)” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.
