Question 280

A change advisory for Greenfield Services has two requirements: (1) ensure a specific host denial is evaluated before a broad permit, and (2) troubleshoot client association failure when the WLC has an incorrect pre-shared key. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, place the deny ACE earlier in sequence order; then match the PSK configured on the WLAN and clients.
  2. First, apply sufficiently long unique passphrases with account protection; then match the PSK configured on the WLAN and clients.
  3. First, use a standard ACL deny for that source IP followed by required permits; then label the software weakness as a vulnerability and misuse as an exploit.
  4. First, place the deny ACE earlier in sequence order; then use authenticated local users or centralized AAA over SSH.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) IOS ACL processing uses the first matching entry, so later entries are not checked after a match. (2) WPA2-Personal handshake succeeds only when both sides derive the same key material. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses improve account defense against guessed short passwords. Length, uniqueness and rate controls resist common password guessing attacks. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use a standard ACL deny for that source IP followed by required permits is for deny one known infected source IP regardless of destination using a simple filter, and Label the software weakness as a vulnerability and misuse as an exploit is for distinguish a software flaw from an attacker action exploiting it. Standard ACLs match IPv4 source addresses rather than destination ports. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses stop unprotected VTY authentication with a shared weak line password. Per-user authenticated access supports accountability and avoids weak shared credentials. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 281

A branch design for Orion Shipping has two requirements: (1) distinguish an SNMP manager from an agent, and (2) collect network interface counters from switches for operational monitoring. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, configure ntp server pointing to the approved NTP server address; then use SNMP polling with permitted MIB object identifiers.
  2. First, recognize the manager queries devices and agents expose managed variables; then recognize Debugging as the least severe standard level.
  3. First, configure an eligible NTP master or approved local reference; then enable SSH using a hostname/domain, local user or AAA and VTY SSH transport.
  4. First, recognize the manager queries devices and agents expose managed variables; then use SNMP polling with permitted MIB object identifiers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) SNMP assigns monitoring queries to managers and local MIB instrumentation to device agents. (2) SNMP management stations can query device agent variables such as interface counters. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses synchronize router time with a centralized authoritative NTP source. NTP clients exchange time with configured time sources and discipline local clocks. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses classify an IOS syslog message with severity 7. Numeric severity 7 contains debug-level diagnostic detail below informational messages. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Configure an eligible NTP master or approved local reference is for provide time to downstream clients from a locally chosen reference when isolated, and Enable SSH using a hostname/domain, local user or AAA and VTY SSH transport is for secure remote CLI login to a Cisco router over IP. A local time source can serve NTP within an isolated network, subject to synchronization policy. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 282

A branch design for Copperline Studios has two requirements: (1) disable a switchport after a port-security violation, and (2) troubleshoot client association failure when the WLC has an incorrect pre-shared key. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, account for the implicit deny at the end of the ACL; then apply the configured Layer 2 WPA2 settings to the WLAN profile.
  2. First, use wildcard 0.0.0.255 with base 10.3.8.0; then match the PSK configured on the WLAN and clients.
  3. First, use switchport port-security violation shutdown; then match the PSK configured on the WLAN and clients.
  4. First, use switchport port-security violation shutdown; then configure switchport port-security maximum 2 on the access interface.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) The shutdown violation mode puts the protected interface into an error-disabled state on violation. (2) WPA2-Personal handshake succeeds only when both sides derive the same key material. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Account for the implicit deny at the end of the ACL is for explain why packets not matching any explicit ACL permit are dropped, and Apply the configured Layer 2 WPA2 settings to the WLAN profile is for associate a wireless SSID with its intended security policy in WLC. ACL processing ends with an implicit deny when no preceding ACE matches. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses match any address in 10.3.8.0/24 using wildcard notation. A wildcard bit set to one means ignore that address bit for ACL matching. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses limit an access switchport to two learned endpoint MAC addresses. Port security can cap how many source MAC addresses the port accepts. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 283

A branch design for Cascade Health has two requirements: (1) place applications on remotely managed cloud compute instead of owned data-center hardware, and (2) build a small campus with a combined distribution and core layer. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, use a cloud-hosted deployment with routed connectivity; then use a collapsed-core two-tier campus design.
  2. First, use a cloud-hosted deployment with routed connectivity; then inspect physical cabling, transceivers, and interface counters.
  3. First, use a spine-leaf topology with leaf-to-spine uplinks; then use a collapsed-core two-tier campus design.
  4. First, use scutil --dns on macOS; then use a wireless LAN controller.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Cloud resources are operated on provider infrastructure rather than on premises. (2) The access layer connects endpoints while the collapsed core aggregates access and provides routing. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

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

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses deliver predictable east-west paths among multiple data-center racks. Each leaf reaches other leaves through spine devices, reducing variable hop counts. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use scutil --dns on macOS is for inspect DNS resolver settings on a macOS client, and Use a wireless LAN controller is for centrally configure dozens of lightweight access points. scutil --dns reports the active macOS DNS resolver configuration. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 284

Stonebridge Learning needs to keep a shared default gateway available after one distribution switch fails. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Apply the longest-prefix-match forwarding rule
  2. Inspect show ip route static and next-hop reachability
  3. Configure passive-interface on the relevant OSPF interface
  4. Deploy a first-hop redundancy protocol with a virtual gateway address

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

FHRPs let clients use one virtual default gateway while eligible routers coordinate active forwarding. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Among matching prefixes, the route with the most significant matched bits wins forwarding. That is not sufficient here: FHRPs let clients use one virtual default gateway while eligible routers coordinate active forwarding.

B:

A static route must resolve an eligible next hop or egress path to be usable. That is not sufficient here: FHRPs let clients use one virtual default gateway while eligible routers coordinate active forwarding.

C:

Passive interfaces suppress OSPF neighbor hello formation while eligible network prefixes remain advertised. That is not sufficient here: FHRPs let clients use one virtual default gateway while eligible routers coordinate active forwarding.

Question 285

Willowbrook Transit needs to forward an IP packet arriving for the router's local interface address. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Distinguish connected C entries from O or S routes
  2. Deliver it to the local protocol stack rather than remote routing
  3. Use ipv6 route ::/0 with outgoing interface and link-local next hop
  4. Inspect show standby and active/standby states

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A local host route represents the router's own address, not a remote network. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Directly connected prefixes have an attached interface, while remote routes require a next hop or recursion. That is not sufficient here: A local host route represents the router's own address, not a remote network.

C:

The egress interface is required to disambiguate a link-local next-hop address. That is not sufficient here: A local host route represents the router's own address, not a remote network.

D:

Cisco HSRP status identifies the virtual IP, role, priority, and participating peers. That is not sufficient here: A local host route represents the router's own address, not a remote network.

Question 286

An acceptance check at Summit Research has two requirements: (1) distinguish a public-scope IPv6 unicast destination, and (2) identify the transport three-way handshake behavior. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, inspect MAC table relearning and dynamic aging; then recognize TCP SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK setup.
  2. First, recognize globally routable 2000::/3 unicast addresses; then use the service set identifier or SSID.
  3. First, use an IPv6 ping to the remote unicast endpoint; then use a Layer 3 switch with switched virtual interfaces and IP routing.
  4. First, recognize globally routable 2000::/3 unicast addresses; then recognize TCP SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK setup.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) IPv6 global unicast ranges provide global routing scope subject to assigned prefixes and filters. (2) TCP establishes connection state and initial sequence numbers before data transfer. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses resolve why a moved host is still associated with an old switch port. The switch relearns a source MAC when frames arrive on the new port and ages idle entries. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses identify the broadcast identifier clients select to join a WLAN. An SSID is the logical wireless network name advertised or provisioned to clients. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use an IPv6 ping to the remote unicast endpoint is for test IPv6 reachability through a routed path, and Use a Layer 3 switch with switched virtual interfaces and IP routing is for enable inter-VLAN routing on a campus distribution device. An IPv6 echo exchange validates reachability across the IPv6 forwarding path. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 287

A network upgrade at Willowbrook Transit has two requirements: (1) avoid confusing OSPF routing cost with administrative distance, and (2) route an unknown destination when no more-specific route is present. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, configure the matching OSPF area number on their shared link; then use an installed 0.0.0.0/0 default route.
  2. First, use OSPF interface path cost for SPF path choice and AD for source preference; then investigate interface MTU mismatch and adjacency parameters.
  3. First, use OSPF interface path cost for SPF path choice and AD for source preference; then use an installed 0.0.0.0/0 default route.
  4. First, inspect show ip route static and next-hop reachability; then configure the target prefix with the valid outgoing point-to-point interface.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) OSPF metric selects routes within OSPF, while AD selects between separate routing sources. (2) The default matches any IPv4 destination not better matched by another prefix. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses make two routers with mismatched OSPF area IDs become neighbors. OSPF neighbors must agree on the area for an eligible adjacency. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

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.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Inspect show ip route static and next-hop reachability is for check whether a configured static route is installed, and Configure the target prefix with the valid outgoing point-to-point interface is for install a route toward an adjacent directly connected point-to-point interface. A static route must resolve an eligible next hop or egress path to be usable. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 288

A change request at Greenfield Services while preparing a network upgrade requires the team to protect wireless payloads from unauthenticated eavesdropping. What response best fits this requirement?

  1. Enable a supported WPA2/WPA3 encrypted WLAN security policy
  2. Use compatible multimode fiber for the specified reach
  3. Use a hypervisor hosting separate virtual machines
  4. Recognize UDP's connectionless best-effort transport

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

A protected WLAN uses authenticated key establishment and link encryption, not only SSID hiding. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Multimode fiber and matching optics suit many short data-center or campus uplinks. That is not sufficient here: A protected WLAN uses authenticated key establishment and link encryption, not only SSID hiding.

C:

Server virtualization separates VM operating systems while sharing physical CPU and memory. That is not sufficient here: A protected WLAN uses authenticated key establishment and link encryption, not only SSID hiding.

D:

UDP sends datagrams without TCP-style acknowledgments, sequencing or congestion recovery. That is not sufficient here: A protected WLAN uses authenticated key establishment and link encryption, not only SSID hiding.

Question 289

An acceptance check at Greenfield Services has two requirements: (1) protect wireless payloads from unauthenticated eavesdropping, and (2) package a process with its libraries using the host operating system kernel. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, recognize an FE80::/10 address with outgoing-interface context; then use an OS-level container runtime.
  2. First, enable a supported WPA2/WPA3 encrypted WLAN security policy; then identify the address with all host bits set to one.
  3. First, enable a supported WPA2/WPA3 encrypted WLAN security policy; then use an OS-level container runtime.
  4. First, review the negotiated speed and the cable/PHY capabilities on both ends; then configure an IPv6 address and 64-bit prefix with IPv6 routing enabled where required.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) A protected WLAN uses authenticated key establishment and link encryption, not only SSID hiding. (2) Containers share the host kernel while isolating processes and dependencies. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses identify an IPv6 link-local next hop. A link-local IPv6 address is only meaningful on its link and may require an interface zone. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses distinguish a directed broadcast from an ordinary host IP. The all-ones host portion represents the subnet-directed broadcast in ordinary IPv4 subnets. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Review the negotiated speed and the cable/PHY capabilities on both ends is for check why two 1-Gbps endpoints link at only 100 Mbps, and Configure an IPv6 address and 64-bit prefix with IPv6 routing enabled where required is for put an IPv6 /64 unicast prefix on a router interface. Autonegotiation and cabling quality can constrain the actual operating link speed. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 290

A network upgrade at Granite Works has two requirements: (1) enable single-area OSPF on matching IPv4 interfaces, and (2) distinguish static route entries from learned routes. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Use ipv6 route ::/0 with outgoing interface and link-local next hop
  2. Use router ospf with network statements and wildcard masks for area 0
  3. Compare AD for identical prefixes before protocol-specific metrics
  4. Configure router-id under the OSPF process and restart the process when required
  5. Recognize the S routing table code

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

Correct for outcome (1): OSPF network statements select interfaces for the specified area using address and wildcard matching. The other outcome needs its separate action.

E:

Correct for outcome (2): Cisco IOS marks configured static routes with S in show ip route. It complements the first required control.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Not selected: Use ipv6 route ::/0 with outgoing interface and link-local next hop is for 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. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

C:

Not selected: Compare AD for identical prefixes before protocol-specific metrics is for avoid comparing routing protocol metrics across unrelated protocols. OSPF and EIGRP metrics are not directly comparable scales across protocols. This is not one of the two required changes.

D:

Not selected: Configure router-id under the OSPF process and restart the process when required is for set an OSPF router ID explicitly to avoid unexpected election. An explicitly configured 32-bit router ID has priority over automatic loopback/interface selection. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.
