Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 13

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.

Question 121

A change advisory for Stonebridge Learning has two requirements: (1) identify malicious intrusion signatures in transit rather than simply filtering ports, and (2) provide wireless client association to a wired enterprise LAN. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, use an intrusion prevention system with applicable inspection signatures; then use a three-tier access/distribution/core architecture.
  2. First, inspect show ipv6 interface for the FE80::/10 link-local address; then investigate channel interference and signal-to-noise ratio.
  3. First, make both link ends negotiate or explicitly agree on matching duplex; then deploy an access point connected to an appropriate switchport.
  4. First, use an intrusion prevention system with applicable inspection signatures; then deploy an access point connected to an appropriate switchport.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) An IPS examines traffic for threat patterns and can block matching packets beyond ordinary port ACLs. (2) The AP bridges 802.11 client frames to the wired distribution system. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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.

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Inspect show ipv6 interface for the FE80::/10 link-local address is for verify that an IPv6 interface has a link-local address, and Investigate channel interference and signal-to-noise ratio is for explain why a strong received signal can still produce poor WLAN throughput. Link-local addresses are used for on-link neighbor discovery and routing adjacencies. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses resolve an Ethernet link showing late collisions and duplex inconsistency. A full/half duplex mismatch creates errors and poor performance even if the link stays up. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 122

A Cisco IOS logging configuration uses numeric syslog severity level 4. Which Cisco IOS severity name corresponds to this value?

  1. Notifications
  2. Debugging
  3. Warnings
  4. Alerts

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Cisco IOS calls severity 4 "Warnings"; 0 is most urgent and 7 is least urgent. This is the exact level shown.

Incorrect Answers

A:

"Notifications" is severity 5 in Cisco IOS logging, not level 4. Level 4 is "Warnings".

B:

"Debugging" is severity 7 in Cisco IOS logging, not level 4. Level 4 is "Warnings".

D:

"Alerts" is severity 1 in Cisco IOS logging, not level 4. Level 4 is "Warnings".

Question 123

A static route to 203.0.113.0/24 is present in running-config but absent from the forwarding table. Its only configured next hop, 192.0.2.9, has no resolved route. Which check directly explains why the static route cannot be used?

  1. Check whether 192.0.2.9 resolves through an active connected or recursively reachable route.
  2. Raise the static route administrative distance to 254.
  3. Add a static route with the same next hop and a shorter destination mask.
  4. Disable routing protocol logging on the router.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

IOS needs a usable path to the configured next hop before installing a workable forwarding entry; a configured line alone cannot create reachability.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Changing preference cannot make the next hop reachable; it can only change competition with other eligible routes.

C:

Broadening the destination still leaves the gateway unresolved and can misdirect other addresses.

D:

Logging does not supply the route or adjacency needed to resolve the configured next hop.

Question 124

Switch S1 Gi1/0/24 expects native VLAN 214; neighboring S2 Gi1/0/24 expects native VLAN 108. CDP reports a native VLAN mismatch. Which change fixes the VLAN interpretation without altering host subnets?

  1. Disable the physical trunk and create an access port in VLAN 108
  2. Set native VLAN 214 on BOTH ends of Gi1/0/24
  3. Set one end to VLAN 214 but leave the other at VLAN 108
  4. Allow only VLAN 1 and ignore native VLAN 214

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Matching native VLAN configuration prevents untagged frames from being placed in different VLANs at the two ends.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Access mode removes tagged trunk operation instead of correcting this trunk.

C:

Leaving different native VLANs fails to resolve mismatched interpretation.

D:

Only allowing VLAN 1 ignores the specified native VLAN consistency requirement.

Question 125

A change request at North Quay Finance as part of a security hardening project requires the team to explain what ESP protects in common IPsec tunnels. Which option directly addresses the stated need?

  1. Recognize IPsec ESP confidentiality and integrity protection
  2. Account for the implicit deny at the end of the ACL
  3. Label the software weakness as a vulnerability and misuse as an exploit
  4. Apply sufficiently long unique passphrases with account protection

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

ESP can encrypt payloads and provide authenticated integrity for protected packets. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

ACL processing ends with an implicit deny when no preceding ACE matches. That is not sufficient here: ESP can encrypt payloads and provide authenticated integrity for protected packets.

C:

A vulnerability is an exposure; an exploit is a technique that takes advantage of that exposure. That is not sufficient here: ESP can encrypt payloads and provide authenticated integrity for protected packets.

D:

Length, uniqueness and rate controls resist common password guessing attacks. That is not sufficient here: ESP can encrypt payloads and provide authenticated integrity for protected packets.

Question 126

A branch design for Greenfield Services has two requirements: (1) exclude network device gateway addresses from a local IOS DHCP server pool, and (2) offer the default gateway to clients through an IOS DHCP pool. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Set default-router to the correct local gateway in the DHCP network scope
  2. Recognize TFTP lacks encryption and authentication
  3. Use an FTP server where that protocol is the specified management option
  4. Configure ip dhcp excluded-address for the reserved range
  5. Recognize Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledge

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct for outcome (2): The DHCP router option tells clients which on-link next hop handles off-subnet destinations. It complements the first required control.

D:

Correct for outcome (1): Exclusions prevent the IOS DHCP pool from leasing reserved router or server addresses. The other outcome needs its separate action.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Not selected: Recognize TFTP lacks encryption and authentication is for explain why ordinary TFTP should not traverse an untrusted network. TFTP's simplicity leaves transfers exposed without a separate secure transport boundary. This is not one of the two required changes.

C:

Not selected: Use an FTP server where that protocol is the specified management option is for transfer a network image using authenticated file service credentials. FTP supports authenticated file transfers but ordinary FTP credentials and payloads are unencrypted. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

E:

Not selected: Recognize Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledge is for understand the normal initial IPv4 DHCP address-acquisition exchange. DORA negotiates a leased IPv4 address and associated network options. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

Question 127

An acceptance check at Summit Research has two requirements: (1) enable inter-VLAN routing on a campus distribution device, and (2) put an IPv6 /64 unicast prefix on a router interface. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, use a collapsed-core two-tier campus design; then split the /24 into eight blocks of 32 addresses.
  2. First, insert FFFE and invert the universal/local bit at the defined location; then configure an IPv6 address and 64-bit prefix with IPv6 routing enabled where required.
  3. First, use a Layer 3 switch with switched virtual interfaces and IP routing; then use scutil --dns on macOS.
  4. First, use a Layer 3 switch with switched virtual interfaces and IP routing; then configure an IPv6 address and 64-bit prefix with IPv6 routing enabled where required.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) SVIs terminate VLAN IP subnets while hardware routing forwards packets between VLANs. (2) IPv6 interface addressing includes a prefix length and router forwarding needs IPv6 routing capability. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use a collapsed-core two-tier campus design is for build a small campus with a combined distribution and core layer, and Split the /24 into eight blocks of 32 addresses is for create equal /27 subnets from a /24. The access layer connects endpoints while the collapsed core aggregates access and provides routing. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses form a modified EUI-64 interface identifier from a 48-bit MAC. Modified EUI-64 expands the 48-bit MAC and flips the U/L bit to form a 64-bit identifier. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses inspect DNS resolver settings on a macOS client. scutil --dns reports the active macOS DNS resolver configuration. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 128

A network upgrade at Willowbrook Transit has two requirements: (1) troubleshoot DAI dropping valid static-IP devices that lack DHCP bindings, and (2) reduce password reuse across device administrators. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, apply the configured Layer 2 WPA2 settings to the WLAN profile; then apply unique credentials with a password manager and rotation policy.
  2. First, label the software weakness as a vulnerability and misuse as an exploit; then use an extended ACL permit tcp with the server destination and eq 443.
  3. First, add approved static ARP ACL validation entries or equivalent supported bindings; then use badge-controlled physical access with audited entry logs.
  4. First, add approved static ARP ACL validation entries or equivalent supported bindings; then apply unique credentials with a password manager and rotation policy.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) DAI needs a trusted IP/MAC association for hosts without DHCP-snooping entries. (2) Unique secrets prevent one compromise from automatically exposing all devices. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first 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 (1) unfulfilled.

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Label the software weakness as a vulnerability and misuse as an exploit is for distinguish a software flaw from an attacker action exploiting it, and Use an extended ACL permit tcp with the server destination and eq 443 is for permit only TCP port 443 to an internal HTTPS server. A vulnerability is an exposure; an exploit is a technique that takes advantage of that exposure. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

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

Question 129

For the identical prefix 172.23.118.0/24, a router evaluates these route candidates: OSPF (AD 110, via 192.0.2.97); connected (AD 0, directly attached interface); floating static (AD 200, via 192.0.2.176); floating static route was withdrawn. Ignore differences in metric across protocols. Which available source takes precedence in the routing table?

  1. OSPF (AD 110, via 192.0.2.97)
  2. No eligible route remains for this prefix
  3. connected (AD 0, directly attached interface)
  4. floating static (AD 200, via 192.0.2.176)

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

connected (AD 0) is the eligible same-prefix candidate with the lowest administrative distance; it is preferred over OSPF (AD 110). A directly connected prefix is attached to a local interface; it does not require a routed next-hop IP.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This OSPF route has AD 110, higher than the eligible connected (AD 0); for the same prefix, Cisco chooses the lower administrative distance.

B:

The connected (AD 0) candidate is still eligible for this exact prefix, so it is incorrect to say that no route remains.

D:

The floating static route was explicitly withdrawn; its former AD 200 does not make it an eligible candidate for this decision.

Question 130

During a review, the administrator for Sable Ridge Manufacturing is asked to pass JSON data to a REST API endpoint. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Send application/json with valid key-value object syntax
  2. Send an authenticated HTTP GET to the resource URI
  3. Use the underlay network
  4. Distinguish distributed device data planes from centralized management/control functions

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

JSON encodes objects and arrays in a machine-readable representation accepted by many REST APIs. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

GET retrieves the representation of a resource without intending to create it. That is not sufficient here: JSON encodes objects and arrays in a machine-readable representation accepted by many REST APIs.

C:

The underlay provides physical/routed reachability for encapsulated overlay transport. That is not sufficient here: JSON encodes objects and arrays in a machine-readable representation accepted by many REST APIs.

D:

Depending on architecture, devices can continue forwarding installed state when the controller is unreachable. That is not sufficient here: JSON encodes objects and arrays in a machine-readable representation accepted by many REST APIs.
