Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 18

Question 170

For the identical prefix 172.29.97.0/24, a router evaluates these route candidates: OSPF (AD 110, via 192.0.2.176); connected (AD 0, directly attached interface); static (AD 1, via 192.0.2.172). Ignore differences in metric across protocols. Which available source takes precedence in the routing table?

  1. OSPF (AD 110, via 192.0.2.176)
  2. static (AD 1, via 192.0.2.172)
  3. connected (AD 0, directly attached interface)
  4. No eligible route remains for this prefix

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), static (AD 1). 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:

This static route has AD 1, higher than the eligible connected (AD 0); for the same prefix, Cisco chooses the lower administrative distance.

D:

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

Question 171

A change advisory for Lighthouse Medical has two requirements: (1) select three nonoverlapping 20-MHz 2.4-GHz Wi-Fi channels in a common regulatory domain, and (2) identify the broadcast identifier clients select to join a WLAN. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, use channels 1, 6 and 11; then use the service set identifier or SSID.
  2. First, use show ipv6 route; then use separate virtual routing and forwarding instances.
  3. First, use channels 1, 6 and 11; then plan channel reuse and transmit power after an RF survey.
  4. First, recognize a shared half-duplex Ethernet collision domain; then use the service set identifier or SSID.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) These nominal 20-MHz channel centers reduce adjacent-channel overlap in 2.4 GHz. (2) An SSID is the logical wireless network name advertised or provisioned to clients. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use show ipv6 route is for display the IPv6 forwarding table on a Cisco router, and Use separate virtual routing and forwarding instances is for hold independent overlapping IP route tables on one router. The IPv6 routing table exposes connected, static and learned IPv6 destinations. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses reduce co-channel contention among nearby access points. Adjacent APs on the same channel compete for airtime even when their signals do not overlap at layer 2. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses explain why a legacy repeater shared across several hosts has collisions. A repeater repeats bits across hosts, so overlapping transmissions contend for the same medium. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 172

An acceptance check at Granite Works has two requirements: (1) check the selected route to a destination on Linux, and (2) inspect DNS resolver settings on a macOS client. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, run ip route get with the destination IP; then use scutil --dns on macOS.
  2. First, use an intrusion prevention system with applicable inspection signatures; then use scutil --dns on macOS.
  3. First, run ip route get with the destination IP; then classify 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255 as private.
  4. First, run ip address show on Linux; then use an IPv6 ping to the remote unicast endpoint.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Linux route lookup reveals the chosen outgoing interface and gateway for that address. (2) scutil --dns reports the active macOS DNS resolver configuration. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses identify malicious intrusion signatures in transit rather than simply filtering ports. An IPS examines traffic for threat patterns and can block matching packets beyond ordinary port ACLs. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses recognize an RFC1918 address in 172.16.0.0/12. Only 172.16/12 is private, not all addresses beginning 172. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Run ip address show on Linux is for show the assigned IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on a Linux interface, and Use an IPv6 ping to the remote unicast endpoint is for test IPv6 reachability through a routed path. The ip command displays local interface addresses without assuming legacy ifconfig is installed. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 173

An acceptance check at Eastbrook Labs has two requirements: (1) verify that a desktop interface belongs to the intended VLAN, and (2) separate finance endpoints from engineering devices at Layer 2. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Run show vlan brief on the access switch
  2. Enable a supported protected authentication and encryption policy on the WLAN
  3. Align trunk or access settings and permitted VLANs across members
  4. Configure controller-supported link aggregation with the corresponding switch port-channel
  5. Place access switchports in different VLANs

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct for outcome (1): The VLAN table lists local VLAN membership for access ports and available VLAN identifiers. The other outcome needs its separate action.

E:

Correct for outcome (2): VLAN membership creates separate Layer 2 broadcast domains even on the same physical switch. It complements the first required control.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Not selected: Enable a supported protected authentication and encryption policy on the WLAN is for reject unsecured wireless client associations on a protected SSID. A secure SSID must negotiate the configured credentials and cipher before passing client data. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

C:

Not selected: Align trunk or access settings and permitted VLANs across members is for troubleshoot an EtherChannel member suspended after differing switchport configurations. Member interfaces require compatible Layer 2 parameters to join the same logical bundle. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

D:

Not selected: Configure controller-supported link aggregation with the corresponding switch port-channel is for aggregate WLC uplinks for bandwidth and resilience. A compatible aggregated uplink spreads supported traffic across multiple physical links. This is not one of the two required changes.

Question 174

A network upgrade at Sable Ridge Manufacturing has two requirements: (1) permit only TCP port 443 to an internal HTTPS server, and (2) deny one known infected source IP regardless of destination using a simple filter. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, use an extended ACL permit tcp with the server destination and eq 443; then use a standard ACL deny for that source IP followed by required permits.
  2. First, use an extended ACL permit tcp with the server destination and eq 443; then apply unique credentials with a password manager and rotation policy.
  3. First, use badge-controlled physical access with audited entry logs; then use authenticated local users or centralized AAA over SSH.
  4. First, configure enable secret rather than a plain enable password; then use a standard ACL deny for that source IP followed by required permits.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) An extended ACL can distinguish HTTPS TCP traffic from other server ports. (2) Standard ACLs match IPv4 source addresses rather than destination ports. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses reduce password reuse across device administrators. Unique secrets prevent one compromise from automatically exposing all devices. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use badge-controlled physical access with audited entry logs is for prevent unauthorized visitors from entering a network equipment room, and Use authenticated local users or centralized AAA over SSH is for stop unprotected VTY authentication with a shared weak line password. Physical access controls reduce direct device tampering or console misuse. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses protect Cisco privileged EXEC mode with a nonplaintext stored secret. enable secret uses one-way storage appropriate for privileged-mode access. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 175

An operations ticket for Riverside Data has two requirements: (1) explain why controller failure does not necessarily stop all existing forwarding, and (2) avoid treating a software-defined controller as a replacement for physical forwarding links. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Compare collected device state against desired-state definitions
  2. Use HTTP POST according to the API contract
  3. Send application/json with valid key-value object syntax
  4. Keep the underlay network operational for packet transport
  5. Distinguish distributed device data planes from centralized management/control functions

Explanation

Correct Answers

D:

Correct for outcome (2): Controller-based policies still rely on forwarding infrastructure and physical connectivity. It complements the first required control.

E:

Correct for outcome (1): Depending on architecture, devices can continue forwarding installed state when the controller is unreachable. The other outcome needs its separate action.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Not selected: Compare collected device state against desired-state definitions is for detect configuration drift across a fleet after a planned rollout. Desired-state comparison reveals unexpected settings without making manual device-by-device assumptions. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

B:

Not selected: Use HTTP POST according to the API contract is for create a new resource through a REST API with a request body. POST commonly submits resource creation or actions with a payload. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

C:

Not selected: Send application/json with valid key-value object syntax is for pass JSON data to a REST API endpoint. JSON encodes objects and arrays in a machine-readable representation accepted by many REST APIs. This is not one of the two required changes.

Question 176

An edge switch is 10.60.8.62/27. The engineer configures default gateway 10.60.8.65. What is the local addressing consequence?

  1. The gateway belongs to 10.60.8.64/27, whereas the switch belongs to 10.60.8.32/27.
  2. Both are in the same /27 because they share 10.60.8
  3. The switch address .62 is the broadcast for its /27
  4. The gateway is valid because a larger address is always reachable on Ethernet

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The mask splits the /24 into 32-address ranges; .62 is in .32–.63 and .65 is in .64–.95, so this gateway is off-subnet.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The fourth-octet /27 boundary is meaningful; the two addresses fall in adjacent subnets.

C:

The directed broadcast for .32/27 is .63; .62 is a valid host.

D:

Layer 2 on-link reachability depends on the configured subnet, not whether an IP is numerically greater.

Question 177

An operations engineer sees `%LINK-3-UPDOWN` from a Cisco router while triaging a physical circuit flap. Which interpretation correctly separates the facility from the numeric severity?

  1. `LINK` identifies the reporting subsystem, while `3` is the severity level; troubleshoot the link event using both fields.
  2. `3` is the physical switchport number and `LINK` is the priority of the message.
  3. `LINK` is the destination logging server name and `3` is the UDP port.
  4. `UPDOWN` is a security severity and the numeral identifies the affected VLAN.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Cisco syslog message headers distinguish facility/origin (`LINK`) from a separate numeric severity (`3`, errors), so neither field should be mistaken for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The number between hyphens is the syslog severity, not a port identifier.

C:

The facility is a device message source, not a server address; the numeric field is not a transport port.

D:

The mnemonic describes the event and the numeral is a severity classification, not a VLAN.

Question 178

A switch-management interface is assigned 10.146.83.181/26. Which address is the subnet-directed broadcast?

  1. 10.146.83.190
  2. 10.146.83.191
  3. 10.146.83.192
  4. 10.146.83.128

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The subnet 10.146.83.128/26 has 6 host bits. Setting all of them to one gives broadcast 10.146.83.191.

Incorrect Answers

A:

10.146.83.190 does not set all the /26 host bits to one; it is a network, host, or neighboring-subnet address rather than the required directed broadcast.

C:

10.146.83.192 does not set all the /26 host bits to one; it is a network, host, or neighboring-subnet address rather than the required directed broadcast.

D:

10.146.83.128 does not set all the /26 host bits to one; it is a network, host, or neighboring-subnet address rather than the required directed broadcast.

Question 179

A branch design for Pinecrest Schools has two requirements: (1) enforce documented security rules across an organization, and (2) protect Cisco privileged EXEC mode with a nonplaintext stored secret. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, recognize WPA as older and prefer stronger supported alternatives; then use WPA3-Personal with compatible clients.
  2. First, publish clear policies and train staff on approved handling procedures; then configure enable secret rather than a plain enable password.
  3. First, deny TCP destination port 23 with the intended host match, and permit TCP 22 as required; then configure enable secret rather than a plain enable password.
  4. First, publish clear policies and train staff on approved handling procedures; then require screen locking and restricted physical device access.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Security programs combine policy, awareness and repeatable operational practice. (2) enable secret uses one-way storage appropriate for privileged-mode access. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Recognize WPA as older and prefer stronger supported alternatives is for identify a wireless security mode using legacy TKIP and known weaknesses, and Use WPA3-Personal with compatible clients is for gain SAE-based password authentication on a modern wireless LAN. WPA introduced improvements over WEP but its TKIP design is weaker than modern WPA2/WPA3. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses block only inbound Telnet to a server without blocking SSH. TCP port 23 identifies Telnet, while SSH normally uses TCP port 22. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses avoid unattended visitors modifying shared network workstations. Basic endpoint hygiene and physical controls help protect logged-in administrative sessions. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 180

A change request at Stonebridge Learning during a branch cutover requires the team to reduce password reuse across device administrators. What response best fits this requirement?

  1. Separate authentication from authorization in AAA
  2. Apply unique credentials with a password manager and rotation policy
  3. Apply the configured Layer 2 WPA2 settings to the WLAN profile
  4. Use authentication as the first AAA function

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Unique secrets prevent one compromise from automatically exposing all devices. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A valid credential alone does not entitle a user to modify network configuration. That is not sufficient here: Unique secrets prevent one compromise from automatically exposing all devices.

C:

The WLAN's Layer 2 security profile controls acceptable association cipher and key methods. That is not sufficient here: Unique secrets prevent one compromise from automatically exposing all devices.

D:

Authentication proves who or what is requesting access. That is not sufficient here: Unique secrets prevent one compromise from automatically exposing all devices.
