Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 12

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.

Question 111

An operations ticket for Hillcrest Utilities has two requirements: (1) protect a Wi-Fi network using AES-CCMP and a shared passphrase, and (2) explain what ESP protects in common IPsec tunnels. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, use badge-controlled physical access with audited entry logs; then recognize IPsec ESP confidentiality and integrity protection.
  2. First, use WPA2-Personal where the WLAN/client support it; then recognize IPsec ESP confidentiality and integrity protection.
  3. First, use WPA2-Personal where the WLAN/client support it; then apply the configured Layer 2 WPA2 settings to the WLAN profile.
  4. First, use authorization policies for the requested action; then use authenticated encryption on management protocols.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) WPA2 uses robust AES-based link protection in common personal-mode deployments. (2) ESP can encrypt payloads and provide authenticated integrity for protected packets. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses prevent unauthorized visitors from entering a network equipment room. Physical access controls reduce direct device tampering or console misuse. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses associate a wireless SSID with its intended security policy in WLC. The WLAN's Layer 2 security profile controls acceptable association cipher and key methods. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use authorization policies for the requested action is for decide whether an authenticated user may issue a privileged configuration command, and Use authenticated encryption on management protocols is for protect confidentiality of management credentials in transit. Authorization grants or denies specific operations after identity is established. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 112

An acceptance check at Copperline Studios has two requirements: (1) authenticate a device without managing a shared human password, and (2) protect confidentiality of management credentials in transit. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, configure enable secret rather than a plain enable password; then match the PSK configured on the WLAN and clients.
  2. First, use an approved certificate-based device identity; then use authenticated encryption on management protocols.
  3. First, publish clear policies and train staff on approved handling procedures; then use authenticated encryption on management protocols.
  4. First, use an approved certificate-based device identity; then monitor traffic for reconnaissance patterns and apply edge controls.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Certificates bind cryptographic credentials to a trusted issuing authority and verified identity. (2) Encryption prevents passive observation of session data while authentication limits impersonation. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Configure enable secret rather than a plain enable password is for protect Cisco privileged EXEC mode with a nonplaintext stored secret, and Match the PSK configured on the WLAN and clients is for troubleshoot client association failure when the WLC has an incorrect pre-shared key. enable secret uses one-way storage appropriate for privileged-mode access. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses enforce documented security rules across an organization. Security programs combine policy, awareness and repeatable operational practice. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses detect active port scanning that precedes unwanted access attempts. Scanning probes service exposure and can be an early indicator of attempted intrusion. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 113

An IOS routing table shows L 192.0.2.10/32 and C 192.0.2.0/24 for the same GigabitEthernet0/0. A packet is addressed to exactly 192.0.2.10. What does L indicate?

  1. This /32 identifies the router interface address for local packet reception.
  2. All addresses in the /24 become aliases for the router
  3. The interface has learned a second dynamic routing protocol
  4. The packet must be sent to a configured default gateway

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The local entry is installed for the interface IP itself, so that packet is directed to the router rather than being forwarded to another LAN host.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A local /32 refers to one address, while C /24 describes the directly connected subnet.

C:

L denotes local interface ownership, not OSPF or another dynamic source.

D:

Traffic to the router’s own address does not require a remote next hop.

Question 114

A network upgrade at Cedarline Hotels has two requirements: (1) improve account defense against guessed short passwords, and (2) raise security of admin sign-in beyond only a password. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Enforce multifactor authentication where available
  2. Inspect show access-lists counters on the device
  3. Configure appropriate peer identity authentication and negotiated cryptographic algorithms
  4. Use badge-controlled physical access with audited entry logs
  5. Apply sufficiently long unique passphrases with account protection

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct for outcome (2): Multiple independent factors reduce reliance on one compromised secret. It complements the first required control.

E:

Correct for outcome (1): Length, uniqueness and rate controls resist common password guessing attacks. The other outcome needs its separate action.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Not selected: Inspect show access-lists counters on the device is for verify which ACL entries have matches during traffic tests. IOS ACL match counters can show which permit or deny clauses see selected traffic. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

C:

Not selected: Configure appropriate peer identity authentication and negotiated cryptographic algorithms is for separate VPN encryption from peer authentication in an IPsec negotiation. A usable IPsec tunnel depends on peers authenticating and agreeing on protection parameters. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

D:

Not selected: Use badge-controlled physical access with audited entry logs is for prevent unauthorized visitors from entering a network equipment room. Physical access controls reduce direct device tampering or console misuse. This is not one of the two required changes.

Question 115

A branch design for Oakbridge University has two requirements: (1) interconnect two Ethernet switch uplink ports with dedicated links, and (2) explain why a legacy repeater shared across several hosts has collisions. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, use point-to-point Ethernet interfaces with matching capabilities; then recognize a shared half-duplex Ethernet collision domain.
  2. First, inspect physical cabling, transceivers, and interface counters; then recognize a shared half-duplex Ethernet collision domain.
  3. First, use point-to-point Ethernet interfaces with matching capabilities; then allocate a unique /64 subnet within the /48 block.
  4. First, use copper twisted-pair cabling within the Ethernet standard's reach; then run ipconfig /all on the Windows client.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Each switched uplink can operate as a dedicated full-duplex link rather than a shared collision segment. (2) A repeater repeats bits across hosts, so overlapping transmissions contend for the same medium. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses diagnose rising CRC/FCS errors on one access port. Corrupt Ethernet frames commonly indicate physical media, cabling, or signaling faults. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses derive an IPv6 subnet prefix from a /48 allocation for a single LAN. A /48 leaves 16 subnet ID bits for up to 65,536 conventional /64 networks. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use copper twisted-pair cabling within the Ethernet standard's reach is for connect a desktop to a nearby switch with common Ethernet twisted pair, and Run ipconfig /all on the Windows client is for see IPv4 address, mask, gateway and DNS on Windows. Copper Ethernet PHYs are designed for local structured cabling with category and distance limits. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 116

A network upgrade at Pinecrest Schools has two requirements: (1) permit only TCP port 443 to an internal HTTPS server, and (2) avoid unattended visitors modifying shared network workstations. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Configure enable secret rather than a plain enable password
  2. Use switchport port-security violation shutdown
  3. Use an extended ACL permit tcp with the server destination and eq 443
  4. Apply ip access-group ACLNAME in on the selected interface
  5. Require screen locking and restricted physical device access

Explanation

Correct Answers

C:

Correct for outcome (1): An extended ACL can distinguish HTTPS TCP traffic from other server ports. The other outcome needs its separate action.

E:

Correct for outcome (2): Basic endpoint hygiene and physical controls help protect logged-in administrative sessions. It complements the first required control.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Not selected: Configure enable secret rather than a plain enable password is for protect Cisco privileged EXEC mode with a nonplaintext stored secret. enable secret uses one-way storage appropriate for privileged-mode access. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

B:

Not selected: Use switchport port-security violation shutdown is for disable a switchport after a port-security violation. The shutdown violation mode puts the protected interface into an error-disabled state on violation. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

D:

Not selected: Apply ip access-group ACLNAME in on the selected interface is for attach an IPv4 ACL to traffic entering an interface. The in direction checks arriving packets before routed forwarding toward their destination. This is not one of the two required changes.

Question 117

A change request at Harborview Logistics after migrating office users requires the team to select a medium immune to electromagnetic interference in an industrial plant. What response best fits this requirement?

  1. Classify 192.168/16 as private IPv4 space
  2. Use show ipv6 route
  3. Insert FFFE and invert the universal/local bit at the defined location
  4. Use fiber-optic cabling with suitable optics

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Optical signaling is not affected by electrical EMI in the way copper signaling can be. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

192.168.0.0–192.168.255.255 is reserved for private addressing. That is not sufficient here: Optical signaling is not affected by electrical EMI in the way copper signaling can be.

B:

The IPv6 routing table exposes connected, static and learned IPv6 destinations. That is not sufficient here: Optical signaling is not affected by electrical EMI in the way copper signaling can be.

C:

Modified EUI-64 expands the 48-bit MAC and flips the U/L bit to form a 64-bit identifier. That is not sufficient here: Optical signaling is not affected by electrical EMI in the way copper signaling can be.

Question 118

A network upgrade at Baypoint Retail has two requirements: (1) distinguish a public-scope IPv6 unicast destination, and (2) recognize an IPv6 unique-local address. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, deploy a SOHO integrated gateway; then classify FC00::/7, commonly FD00::/8, as unique local.
  2. First, allocate a unique /64 subnet within the /48 block; then investigate channel interference and signal-to-noise ratio.
  3. First, recognize globally routable 2000::/3 unicast addresses; then use a three-tier access/distribution/core architecture.
  4. First, recognize globally routable 2000::/3 unicast addresses; then classify FC00::/7, commonly FD00::/8, as unique local.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) IPv6 global unicast ranges provide global routing scope subject to assigned prefixes and filters. (2) ULA is designed for local-scope addressing and is not advertised on the public internet. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses serve a home office with one combined firewall, switch, and wireless radio. An all-in-one small-office appliance consolidates routing, NAT, Ethernet access and Wi-Fi. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Allocate a unique /64 subnet within the /48 block is for derive an IPv6 subnet prefix from a /48 allocation for a single LAN, and Investigate channel interference and signal-to-noise ratio is for explain why a strong received signal can still produce poor WLAN throughput. A /48 leaves 16 subnet ID bits for up to 65,536 conventional /64 networks. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses separate access, aggregation, and backbone roles in a large campus. Separate tiers scale policy aggregation and fast backbone transport independently. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 119

An operations ticket for Sable Ridge Manufacturing has two requirements: (1) explain why ordinary TFTP should not traverse an untrusted network, and (2) verify a router can reach its TFTP server before copying an IOS image. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, use TFTP in a trusted isolated management network; then test IP reachability and file path permissions first.
  2. First, recognize TFTP lacks encryption and authentication; then test IP reachability and file path permissions first.
  3. First, use NTP on network devices and log servers; then verify NAT inside/outside roles and route reachability.
  4. First, recognize TFTP lacks encryption and authentication; then inspect show ntp associations and show ntp status.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) TFTP's simplicity leaves transfers exposed without a separate secure transport boundary. (2) TFTP requires UDP reachability and server-side access to the intended file path. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses move a configuration backup to a simple network file server with minimal protocol complexity. TFTP uses a minimal UDP transfer protocol without built-in authentication or encryption. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use NTP on network devices and log servers is for explain why consistent syslog timestamps require time synchronization, and Verify NAT inside/outside roles and route reachability is for troubleshoot missing NAT translations despite matching source ACL. A common time reference makes event correlation meaningful across independently clocked devices. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses verify whether a router has selected a valid NTP peer. NTP status shows synchronization state, peers and stratum information. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 120

A change request at Baypoint Retail following a scheduled maintenance window requires the team to explain why consistent syslog timestamps require time synchronization. What response best fits this requirement?

  1. Use show ip nat translations on the translating router
  2. Recognize the manager queries devices and agents expose managed variables
  3. Use NTP on network devices and log servers
  4. Enable SSH using a hostname/domain, local user or AAA and VTY SSH transport

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A common time reference makes event correlation meaningful across independently clocked devices. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The NAT translation table lists original and translated addresses and ports for active entries. That is not sufficient here: A common time reference makes event correlation meaningful across independently clocked devices.

B:

SNMP assigns monitoring queries to managers and local MIB instrumentation to device agents. That is not sufficient here: A common time reference makes event correlation meaningful across independently clocked devices.

D:

SSH encrypts remote terminal sessions and requires suitable keys and login configuration. That is not sufficient here: A common time reference makes event correlation meaningful across independently clocked devices.
