Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 15

Question 140

A network upgrade at North Quay Finance has two requirements: (1) gain SAE-based password authentication on a modern wireless LAN, and (2) ensure a specific host denial is evaluated before a broad permit. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, use accounting in an AAA architecture; then enable dynamic ARP inspection with valid bindings and trusted infrastructure links.
  2. First, recognize IPsec ESP confidentiality and integrity protection; then place the deny ACE earlier in sequence order.
  3. First, use WPA3-Personal with compatible clients; then add approved static ARP ACL validation entries or equivalent supported bindings.
  4. First, use WPA3-Personal with compatible clients; then place the deny ACE earlier in sequence order.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) WPA3-Personal uses SAE for password-authenticated key establishment. (2) IOS ACL processing uses the first matching entry, so later entries are not checked after a match. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use accounting in an AAA architecture is for record when an administrator logs in and what actions occurred, and Enable dynamic ARP inspection with valid bindings and trusted infrastructure links is for stop forged ARP replies claiming the default gateway IP on user access ports. Accounting generates activity records for later auditing and troubleshooting. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses explain what ESP protects in common IPsec tunnels. ESP can encrypt payloads and provide authenticated integrity for protected packets. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses troubleshoot DAI dropping valid static-IP devices that lack DHCP bindings. DAI needs a trusted IP/MAC association for hosts without DHCP-snooping entries. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 141

A change advisory for Cascade Health has two requirements: (1) serve a home office with one combined firewall, switch, and wireless radio, and (2) select three nonoverlapping 20-MHz 2.4-GHz Wi-Fi channels in a common regulatory domain. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, deploy a SOHO integrated gateway; then use channels 1, 6 and 11.
  2. First, deploy a SOHO integrated gateway; then use TCP with a connection-oriented transport session.
  3. First, apply the subnet mask bitwise to the host address; then make both link ends negotiate or explicitly agree on matching duplex.
  4. First, use a cloud-hosted deployment with routed connectivity; then use channels 1, 6 and 11.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) An all-in-one small-office appliance consolidates routing, NAT, Ethernet access and Wi-Fi. (2) These nominal 20-MHz channel centers reduce adjacent-channel overlap in 2.4 GHz. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses require guaranteed in-order delivery with acknowledgments for a file transfer. TCP provides sequencing, retransmission and flow control that UDP does not guarantee. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Apply the subnet mask bitwise to the host address is for determine which network a configured IPv4 host belongs to, and Make both link ends negotiate or explicitly agree on matching duplex is for resolve an Ethernet link showing late collisions and duplex inconsistency. The IPv4 network address is the bitwise AND of the IP address and subnet mask. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses place applications on remotely managed cloud compute instead of owned data-center hardware. Cloud resources are operated on provider infrastructure rather than on premises. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 142

A Cisco router must send packets to one specific loopback host 203.0.113.10 using adjacent next hop 192.0.2.2 without altering the rest of the 203.0.113.0/24 destination network. Which command meets that narrow requirement?

  1. ip route 203.0.113.0 255.255.255.0 192.0.2.2
  2. ip route 203.0.113.10 255.255.255.255 192.0.2.2
  3. ip route 203.0.113.10 255.255.255.0 192.0.2.2
  4. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.0.2.2

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The /32 host route overrides broader matches only for 203.0.113.10 and uses the specified resolved next hop.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This /24 redirects the whole subnet, not just the one loopback host.

C:

The supplied address is not aligned to the /24 network and does not express a /32 host route.

D:

A default route affects every otherwise unmatched destination rather than one host.

Question 143

During a review, the administrator for Greenfield Services is asked to deploy standalone wireless connectivity at a tiny site without a central WLC. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Use an appropriate TACACS+ AAA design
  2. Use a supported autonomous AP mode or small-business AP
  3. Use SSH rather than Telnet
  4. Configure matching channel-group IDs with mode active on the intended member ports

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

An autonomous or locally managed AP does not depend on a separate enterprise WLC for all management. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

TACACS+ supports granular device administration authorization and accounting through AAA. That is not sufficient here: An autonomous or locally managed AP does not depend on a separate enterprise WLC for all management.

C:

SSH encrypts remote terminal data and authentication, whereas Telnet does not. That is not sufficient here: An autonomous or locally managed AP does not depend on a separate enterprise WLC for all management.

D:

LACP negotiates a logical port-channel while distributing eligible flows across member links. That is not sufficient here: An autonomous or locally managed AP does not depend on a separate enterprise WLC for all management.

Question 144

During a review, the administrator for Cedarline Hotels is asked to collect network interface counters from switches for operational monitoring. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Configure dynamic inside source NAT using the permitted ACL and address pool
  2. Recognize Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledge
  3. Correct the DHCP DNS option or local resolver setting
  4. Use SNMP polling with permitted MIB object identifiers

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

SNMP management stations can query device agent variables such as interface counters. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Dynamic NAT allocates eligible public addresses from a configured pool to matching inside hosts. That is not sufficient here: SNMP management stations can query device agent variables such as interface counters.

B:

DORA negotiates a leased IPv4 address and associated network options. That is not sufficient here: SNMP management stations can query device agent variables such as interface counters.

C:

IP connectivity can work while name resolution fails because resolver configuration is wrong. That is not sufficient here: SNMP management stations can query device agent variables such as interface counters.

Question 145

A network upgrade at Orion Shipping has two requirements: (1) distinguish a trained predictive model from fixed threshold alerting, and (2) avoid a syntax error when a JSON object has several fields. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, recognize learned features and forecast outcomes versus predefined static limits; then separate property pairs with commas and quote property names.
  2. First, recognize learned features and forecast outcomes versus predefined static limits; then use braces, brackets and string keys rather than XML tags.
  3. First, use JSON null rather than the string "null"; then separate property pairs with commas and quote property names.
  4. First, recognize HTTP status 201 Created where the API follows that convention; then use a controller to maintain centralized policy and abstract device configuration.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) ML models fit patterns from data, while simple thresholds use explicit static comparison rules. (2) JSON object syntax requires comma-separated key/value pairs and double-quoted keys. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses recognize that XML element tags are not valid JSON object syntax. JSON objects and arrays have their own literal syntax distinct from XML markup. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses represent an absent optional API field's value. The null literal means no value, while the quoted text is a string. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Recognize HTTP status 201 Created where the API follows that convention is for interpret a successful REST resource creation response, and Use a controller to maintain centralized policy and abstract device configuration is for contrast manually configured per-device control logic with controller-based management. HTTP 201 indicates a resource was created, often with a Location header. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 146

A change request at Summit Research in a proposed design requires the team to avoid unattended visitors modifying shared network workstations. Which option directly addresses the stated need?

  1. Require screen locking and restricted physical device access
  2. Label the software weakness as a vulnerability and misuse as an exploit
  3. Use switchport port-security violation shutdown
  4. Configure WPA2 PSK and a sufficiently strong passphrase in the WLC GUI

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Basic endpoint hygiene and physical controls help protect logged-in administrative sessions. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A vulnerability is an exposure; an exploit is a technique that takes advantage of that exposure. That is not sufficient here: Basic endpoint hygiene and physical controls help protect logged-in administrative sessions.

C:

The shutdown violation mode puts the protected interface into an error-disabled state on violation. That is not sufficient here: Basic endpoint hygiene and physical controls help protect logged-in administrative sessions.

D:

A WPA2 PSK WLAN authenticates clients through the configured shared secret. That is not sufficient here: Basic endpoint hygiene and physical controls help protect logged-in administrative sessions.

Question 147

A printer is 172.16.40.63/26 and cannot contact its intended gateway. What immediate addressing defect is evident?

  1. The /26 mask is invalid for a private IPv4 range
  2. The printer must use 172.16.40.64 for itself
  3. The printer was assigned the /26 directed broadcast address, not a usable host address.
  4. The gateway is necessarily unreachable because RFC1918 addresses cannot be routed internally

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

In 172.16.40.0/26, addresses .0–.63 form the subnet and .63 is its broadcast; the printer needs a valid ordinary host IP.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A /26 is a valid subnet mask in 172.16.0.0/12 private space.

B:

The .64 address is the next /26 network identifier, not a usable endpoint.

D:

Private IPv4 ranges are routinely routed inside organizations with appropriate routes.

Question 148

A change request at Hillcrest Utilities during a branch cutover requires the team to separate VPN encryption from peer authentication in an IPsec negotiation. Which response best meets this requirement?

  1. Use an approved RADIUS or TACACS+ server architecture
  2. Use an extended ACL permit tcp with the server destination and eq 443
  3. Configure appropriate peer identity authentication and negotiated cryptographic algorithms
  4. Create username entries with the secret option and appropriate privilege

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A usable IPsec tunnel depends on peers authenticating and agreeing on protection parameters. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Central AAA provides shared identity policy and audit handling across multiple devices. That is not sufficient here: A usable IPsec tunnel depends on peers authenticating and agreeing on protection parameters.

B:

An extended ACL can distinguish HTTPS TCP traffic from other server ports. That is not sufficient here: A usable IPsec tunnel depends on peers authenticating and agreeing on protection parameters.

D:

IOS username secret stores a protected password hash rather than literal cleartext configuration. That is not sufficient here: A usable IPsec tunnel depends on peers authenticating and agreeing on protection parameters.

Question 149

A network upgrade at Meridian Insurance has two requirements: (1) diagnose rising CRC/FCS errors on one access port, and (2) reduce co-channel contention among nearby access points. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, use IPv6 anycast with routing toward the common address; then plan channel reuse and transmit power after an RF survey.
  2. First, inspect physical cabling, transceivers, and interface counters; then plan channel reuse and transmit power after an RF survey.
  3. First, use an OS-level container runtime; then use a Layer 3 switch with switched virtual interfaces and IP routing.
  4. First, inspect physical cabling, transceivers, and interface counters; then add or update the source MAC and VLAN entry on the receiving interface.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Corrupt Ethernet frames commonly indicate physical media, cabling, or signaling faults. (2) Adjacent APs on the same channel compete for airtime even when their signals do not overlap at layer 2. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses have several servers share one IPv6 service address delivered to the nearest instance. Anycast uses one unicast-format address on multiple nodes and routing selects a reachable instance. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use an OS-level container runtime is for package a process with its libraries using the host operating system kernel, and Use a Layer 3 switch with switched virtual interfaces and IP routing is for enable inter-VLAN routing on a campus distribution device. Containers share the host kernel while isolating processes and dependencies. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses learn which switch port owns a newly seen source MAC. A learning switch updates its CAM table from the incoming frame's source address. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 150

At Meridian Insurance, an engineer must distinguish an Ansible inventory from an Ansible playbook. What action meets this technical need?

  1. Use Terraform configuration and a reviewed plan/apply workflow
  2. Use anomaly detection with representative training or baseline data
  3. Require validated evidence and human/network policy checks before execution
  4. Use inventory to define hosts and playbook to define ordered tasks

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Inventory specifies managed endpoints while a playbook expresses operations to perform. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Terraform models desired infrastructure resources and computes changes before applying them. That is not sufficient here: Inventory specifies managed endpoints while a playbook expresses operations to perform.

B:

Anomaly detection identifies departures from learned normal patterns for investigation. That is not sufficient here: Inventory specifies managed endpoints while a playbook expresses operations to perform.

C:

AI suggestions are fallible and should not bypass deterministic authorization or operational verification. That is not sufficient here: Inventory specifies managed endpoints while a playbook expresses operations to perform.
