Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 24

Question 230

For the identical prefix 172.18.170.0/24, a router evaluates these route candidates: static (AD 1, via 192.0.2.232); RIP (AD 120, via 192.0.2.151); connected (AD 0, directly attached interface); static route was withdrawn. Ignore differences in metric across protocols. Which available source takes precedence in the routing table?

  1. No eligible route remains for this prefix
  2. RIP (AD 120, via 192.0.2.151)
  3. static (AD 1, via 192.0.2.232)
  4. connected (AD 0, directly attached interface)

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

connected (AD 0) is the eligible same-prefix candidate with the lowest administrative distance; it is preferred over RIP (AD 120). A directly connected prefix is attached to a local interface; it does not require a routed next-hop IP.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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

B:

This RIP route has AD 120, higher than the eligible connected (AD 0); for the same prefix, Cisco chooses the lower administrative distance.

C:

The static route was explicitly withdrawn; its former AD 1 does not make it an eligible candidate for this decision.

Question 231

An acceptance check at Pinecrest Schools has two requirements: (1) diagnose OSPF peers with different hello/dead intervals, and (2) prevent an interface from sending OSPF hello packets while still advertising its connected network. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, make their OSPF interface timers compatible; then deploy a first-hop redundancy protocol with a virtual gateway address.
  2. First, make their OSPF interface timers compatible; then configure passive-interface on the relevant OSPF interface.
  3. First, set its OSPF interface priority to 0; then compare OSPF interface priority, then router ID among eligible candidates.
  4. First, negate the matching ip route statement with no ip route; then configure passive-interface on the relevant OSPF interface.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Mismatched OSPF hello and dead intervals can prevent neighbor adjacency formation. (2) Passive interfaces suppress OSPF neighbor hello formation while eligible network prefixes remain advertised. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses keep a shared default gateway available after one distribution switch fails. FHRPs let clients use one virtual default gateway while eligible routers coordinate active forwarding. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Set its OSPF interface priority to 0 is for prevent one router from becoming DR on a broadcast segment, and Compare OSPF interface priority, then router ID among eligible candidates is for elect the designated router on a broadcast multiaccess segment. An OSPF priority of zero makes the router ineligible for DR or BDR election. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses remove a stale configured IPv4 static route without altering newer dynamic routes. Removing the static configuration affects that route, not the unrelated dynamic routing protocol. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 232

An acceptance check at Riverside Data has two requirements: (1) explain why two redundant routers alone do not automatically preserve the clients' default gateway, and (2) provide a static backup only if an OSPF route to the same prefix disappears. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, recognize point-to-point OSPF network type; then compare OSPF interface priority, then router ID among eligible candidates.
  2. First, configure an FHRP such as HSRP or VRRP on the gateway VLAN; then investigate interface MTU mismatch and adjacency parameters.
  3. First, configure the target prefix with the valid outgoing point-to-point interface; then give the backup static route AD higher than OSPF's 110.
  4. First, configure an FHRP such as HSRP or VRRP on the gateway VLAN; then give the backup static route AD higher than OSPF's 110.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Without a virtual gateway mechanism, loss of the configured single default gateway can strand clients. (2) A floating static route loses normally but is installed when the preferred OSPF route is withdrawn. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Recognize point-to-point OSPF network type is for explain why a point-to-point OSPF link has no DR election, and Compare OSPF interface priority, then router ID among eligible candidates is for elect the designated router on a broadcast multiaccess segment. Point-to-point OSPF forms a direct adjacency without broadcast-media DR/BDR roles. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses explain why two OSPF routers remain stuck in EXSTART. OSPF database description negotiation can fail when peers disagree on MTU. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses install a route toward an adjacent directly connected point-to-point interface. On a point-to-point interface, the route can use the egress interface without Ethernet ARP for each host. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 233

A change request at Cedarline Hotels after migrating office users requires the team to move a configuration backup to a simple network file server with minimal protocol complexity. Which option directly addresses the stated need?

  1. Use NTP on network devices and log servers
  2. Configure ntp server pointing to the approved NTP server address
  3. Use TFTP in a trusted isolated management network
  4. Apply traffic shaping to buffer and pace excess packets

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

TFTP uses a minimal UDP transfer protocol without built-in authentication or encryption. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A common time reference makes event correlation meaningful across independently clocked devices. That is not sufficient here: TFTP uses a minimal UDP transfer protocol without built-in authentication or encryption.

B:

NTP clients exchange time with configured time sources and discipline local clocks. That is not sufficient here: TFTP uses a minimal UDP transfer protocol without built-in authentication or encryption.

D:

Shaping delays packets to meet an average rate rather than immediately dropping all excess. That is not sufficient here: TFTP uses a minimal UDP transfer protocol without built-in authentication or encryption.

Question 234

An acceptance check at Cedarline Hotels has two requirements: (1) recognize that SDN management is not literally a single router for every data packet, and (2) modify selected configuration fields without replacing all others. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Separate control-plane decisions from data-plane forwarding
  2. Keep traffic on programmed device forwarding paths
  3. Use Ansible playbooks and modules with device groups
  4. Use HTTP PATCH on a supporting REST resource
  5. Use before-and-after state validation with explicit invariants

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

Correct for outcome (1): A controller supplies decisions/policies; deployed devices usually perform packet forwarding. The other outcome needs its separate action.

D:

Correct for outcome (2): PATCH applies a partial update to a resource under the API's defined semantics. It complements the first required control.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Not selected: Separate control-plane decisions from data-plane forwarding is for differentiate route calculation from actual packet switching. The control plane computes state while the data plane forwards packets according to installed entries. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

C:

Not selected: Use Ansible playbooks and modules with device groups is for apply the same network configuration task across devices from an inventory file. Ansible inventories and playbooks run repeatable tasks across selected managed devices. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

E:

Not selected: Use before-and-after state validation with explicit invariants is for verify that a network automation run changed only intended fields. Automated configuration still needs evidence that live devices match the authorized target. This is not one of the two required changes.

Question 235

Gi1/0/24 is an 802.1Q trunk; both peer ports have native VLAN 220 and native-tagging is NOT enabled. A normal frame from that native VLAN leaves the trunk. What happens on the wire?

  1. Tag the native VLAN 220 with 802.1Q ID 220 by default
  2. Discard the frame because no 802.1Q tag is present
  3. Send traffic from native VLAN 220 untagged on the 802.1Q trunk
  4. Tag its frames with data VLAN 120 despite their native VLAN membership

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

By default Cisco 802.1Q transports native-VLAN frames without a VLAN tag when both sides agree.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Normal Cisco 802.1Q behavior does not insert a VLAN tag for traffic in the configured native VLAN unless native VLAN tagging is enabled.

B:

Untagged traffic is valid on a trunk when it belongs to the native VLAN configured consistently at both ends of that trunk.

D:

A trunk does not substitute a different VLAN identifier on native traffic; mismatched VLAN tagging changes which broadcast domain receives the frame.

Question 236

Harborview Logistics needs to avoid allowing untrusted access ports to forward forged DHCP server responses. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Enable DHCP snooping globally and for the client VLAN, and trust only the legitimate DHCP server or relay uplink while keeping user ports untrusted
  2. Use authenticated local users or centralized AAA over SSH
  3. Require screen locking and restricted physical device access
  4. Select an appropriate WPA2/WPA3 protected security mode

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Enable DHCP snooping globally and on the protected VLAN; trust only approved server/relay uplinks while leaving user-facing ports untrusted. On supported Cisco switches, trusted interfaces alone do not activate snooping, and a rogue server response on an untrusted access port must be dropped. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Per-user authenticated access supports accountability and avoids weak shared credentials. That is not sufficient here: Trust should be reserved for infrastructure ports expected to carry DHCP server replies.

C:

Basic endpoint hygiene and physical controls help protect logged-in administrative sessions. That is not sufficient here: Trust should be reserved for infrastructure ports expected to carry DHCP server replies.

D:

Modern WLAN security limits passive interception and weak key recovery compared with WEP/open modes. That is not sufficient here: Trust should be reserved for infrastructure ports expected to carry DHCP server replies.

Question 237

A network upgrade at Orion Shipping has two requirements: (1) prevent an unused VLAN from crossing a trunk link, and (2) confirm which VLANs are actively forwarded over a trunk. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, remove it from the trunk allowed VLAN list; then run show vlan brief on the access switch.
  2. First, enable a supported protected authentication and encryption policy on the WLAN; then enable Loop Guard on eligible non-designated spanning-tree links.
  3. First, remove it from the trunk allowed VLAN list; then use show interfaces trunk.
  4. First, configure controller-supported link aggregation with the corresponding switch port-channel; then use show interfaces trunk.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) The allowed list determines which tagged VLANs may traverse the trunk. (2) The command displays operational trunks, encapsulation/native VLAN and allowed/active VLANs. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses verify that a desktop interface belongs to the intended VLAN. The VLAN table lists local VLAN membership for access ports and available VLAN identifiers. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Enable a supported protected authentication and encryption policy on the WLAN is for reject unsecured wireless client associations on a protected SSID, and Enable Loop Guard on eligible non-designated spanning-tree links is for avoid a blocked STP link unexpectedly forwarding after BPDUs disappear. A secure SSID must negotiate the configured credentials and cipher before passing client data. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses aggregate WLC uplinks for bandwidth and resilience. A compatible aggregated uplink spreads supported traffic across multiple physical links. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 238

During a review, the administrator for Hillcrest Utilities is asked to send router logs to a centralized log server. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Classify packets using matching criteria such as DSCP or ACL
  2. Use DNS A record lookup
  3. Configure remote syslog logging host and appropriate transport settings
  4. Configure transport input ssh on the intended VTY lines

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A syslog collector aggregates event messages across devices for correlation and retention. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

QoS classification places packets into classes for later marking, queuing or policing actions. That is not sufficient here: A syslog collector aggregates event messages across devices for correlation and retention.

B:

DNS maps names to addresses, while DHCP leases IP settings and does not replace DNS. That is not sufficient here: A syslog collector aggregates event messages across devices for correlation and retention.

D:

Restricting VTY transport to SSH prevents cleartext Telnet management access. That is not sufficient here: A syslog collector aggregates event messages across devices for correlation and retention.

Question 239

An acceptance check at Stonebridge Learning has two requirements: (1) verify whether a router has selected a valid NTP peer, and (2) provide time to downstream clients from a locally chosen reference when isolated. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Verify NAT inside/outside roles and route reachability
  2. Configure an eligible NTP master or approved local reference
  3. Recognize the manager queries devices and agents expose managed variables
  4. Use DNS A record lookup
  5. Inspect show ntp associations and show ntp status

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

Correct for outcome (2): A local time source can serve NTP within an isolated network, subject to synchronization policy. It complements the first required control.

E:

Correct for outcome (1): NTP status shows synchronization state, peers and stratum information. The other outcome needs its separate action.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Not selected: Verify NAT inside/outside roles and route reachability is for troubleshoot missing NAT translations despite matching source ACL. Correct source selection alone does not establish translation if interfaces and routing are misconfigured. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

C:

Not selected: Recognize the manager queries devices and agents expose managed variables is for distinguish an SNMP manager from an agent. SNMP assigns monitoring queries to managers and local MIB instrumentation to device agents. This is not one of the two required changes.

D:

Not selected: Use DNS A record lookup is for identify the protocol that maps a host name to an IPv4 address. DNS maps names to addresses, while DHCP leases IP settings and does not replace DNS. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

Question 240

A network upgrade at Cascade Health has two requirements: (1) ensure a backup static route does not override a directly connected route to the same prefix, and (2) interpret an L entry for a router's own IPv4 interface address. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, use a higher floating static AD and maintain healthy connected interface; then use ipv6 route ::/0 with outgoing interface and link-local next hop.
  2. First, use a higher floating static AD and maintain healthy connected interface; then recognize a locally originated /32 host route.
  3. First, compare OSPF path metrics for the eligible equal-distance protocol routes; then recognize a locally originated /32 host route.
  4. First, deliver it to the local protocol stack rather than remote routing; then give the backup static route AD higher than OSPF's 110.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Connected routes have distance 0 and normally beat ordinary or floating static alternatives. (2) Local routes identify IP addresses assigned to the router itself. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses configure an IPv6 default route over a known link-local next hop. The egress interface is required to disambiguate a link-local next-hop address. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses choose between OSPF routes for the same prefix learned from two paths. Within one protocol and destination prefix the protocol metric selects preferred path cost. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Deliver it to the local protocol stack rather than remote routing is for forward an IP packet arriving for the router's local interface address, and Give the backup static route AD higher than OSPF's 110 is for provide a static backup only if an OSPF route to the same prefix disappears. A local host route represents the router's own address, not a remote network. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.
