Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 31

Question 300

A branch design for Copperline Studios has two requirements: (1) create equal /27 subnets from a /24, and (2) distinguish a directed broadcast from an ordinary host IP. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, deploy a SOHO integrated gateway; then identify the address with all host bits set to one.
  2. First, split the /24 into eight blocks of 32 addresses; then identify the address with all host bits set to one.
  3. First, split the /24 into eight blocks of 32 addresses; then use a Layer 3 switch with switched virtual interfaces and IP routing.
  4. First, use a Layer 2 Ethernet switch; then deploy an application server on a reachable network.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Borrowing three host bits creates eight /27 subnets, each normally offering 30 usable hosts. (2) The all-ones host portion represents the subnet-directed broadcast in ordinary IPv4 subnets. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses serve a home office with one combined firewall, switch, and wireless radio. An all-in-one small-office appliance consolidates routing, NAT, Ethernet access and Wi-Fi. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses enable inter-VLAN routing on a campus distribution device. SVIs terminate VLAN IP subnets while hardware routing forwards packets between VLANs. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use a Layer 2 Ethernet switch is for provide wire-speed forwarding within the same access VLAN, and Deploy an application server on a reachable network is for host a central application consumed by employee laptops. A Layer 2 switch learns source MAC addresses and forwards frames by destination MAC within a broadcast domain. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 301

A branch design for Pinecrest Schools has two requirements: (1) enable rapid host access without waiting for ordinary STP transitions, and (2) shut an edge port immediately if an unexpected switch BPDU arrives. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, enable Loop Guard on eligible non-designated spanning-tree links; then keep the alternate port discarding until needed.
  2. First, configure spanning-tree portfast on a true endpoint-facing access port; then enable BPDU Guard on the PortFast edge port.
  3. First, enable Root Guard on the intended designated port; then enable BPDU Guard on the PortFast edge port.
  4. First, configure spanning-tree portfast on a true endpoint-facing access port; then use a supported out-of-band console connection.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) PortFast brings an edge port to forwarding quickly; it is not safe for an unintended switch link. (2) BPDU Guard error-disables a protected edge port receiving a BPDU to prevent accidental loops. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Enable Loop Guard on eligible non-designated spanning-tree links is for avoid a blocked STP link unexpectedly forwarding after BPDUs disappear, and Keep the alternate port discarding until needed is for understand Rapid PVST+ alternate-port behavior. Loop Guard can hold a port in loop-inconsistent state when BPDUs cease unexpectedly. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses prevent a downstream switch from claiming the root role over an uplink. Root Guard holds the port in a root-inconsistent state if superior BPDUs arrive. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses manage a switch when its production network is unreachable. A console provides local management access independent of in-band IP reachability. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 302

A change advisory for Hillcrest Utilities has two requirements: (1) avoid importing a route automatically between customer tenant routing tables, and (2) determine which network a configured IPv4 host belongs to. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, use compatible single-mode fiber transceivers and fiber; then apply the subnet mask bitwise to the host address.
  2. First, keep tenant interfaces and route entries in isolated VRFs; then apply the subnet mask bitwise to the host address.
  3. First, keep tenant interfaces and route entries in isolated VRFs; then use a collapsed-core two-tier campus design.
  4. First, use channels 1, 6 and 11; then inspect show ipv6 interface for the FE80::/10 link-local address.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) A route in one VRF is not automatically visible in another without an explicit leak or import. (2) The IPv4 network address is the bitwise AND of the IP address and subnet mask. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses run a long-distance optical link requiring low dispersion. Single-mode fiber carries one principal propagation mode and supports long distances with appropriate optics. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses build a small campus with a combined distribution and core layer. The access layer connects endpoints while the collapsed core aggregates access and provides routing. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use channels 1, 6 and 11 is for select three nonoverlapping 20-MHz 2.4-GHz Wi-Fi channels in a common regulatory domain, and Inspect show ipv6 interface for the FE80::/10 link-local address is for verify that an IPv6 interface has a link-local address. These nominal 20-MHz channel centers reduce adjacent-channel overlap in 2.4 GHz. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 303

The table contains a reachable static default route 0.0.0.0/0 via 192.0.2.1 and a reachable OSPF route 198.51.100.128/25 via 192.0.2.2. Which route does IOS use for a packet to 198.51.100.200?

  1. The static default via 192.0.2.1 because static routes have distance 1.
  2. Drop the packet because the address is not the /25 network address.
  3. Load-balance over both gateways because both entries match the destination.
  4. The OSPF /25 route via 192.0.2.2.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Longest-prefix matching selects the /25 entry covering .200 over the less-specific default route; administrative distance does not reverse that prefix choice.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Distance selects among sources for the same prefix; a more-specific /25 matches before a /0 fallback.

B:

The destination .200 is inside the 198.51.100.128/25 subnet, so the /25 entry matches.

C:

Longest-prefix match chooses the most-specific route; the default is not an equal-cost path for that destination.

Question 304

A network upgrade at Eastbrook Labs has two requirements: (1) apply the same network configuration task across devices from an inventory file, and (2) recognize that SDN management is not literally a single router for every data packet. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, use Ansible playbooks and modules with device groups; then require validated evidence and human/network policy checks before execution.
  2. First, use Ansible playbooks and modules with device groups; then keep traffic on programmed device forwarding paths.
  3. First, send an authenticated HTTP GET to the resource URI; then keep traffic on programmed device forwarding paths.
  4. First, use HTTP PUT where the API defines replacement semantics; then use a controller to maintain centralized policy and abstract device configuration.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Ansible inventories and playbooks run repeatable tasks across selected managed devices. (2) A controller supplies decisions/policies; deployed devices usually perform packet forwarding. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses avoid trusting an AI-recommended change without checking live configuration. AI suggestions are fallible and should not bypass deterministic authorization or operational verification. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses retrieve a network device's configuration using a REST endpoint. GET retrieves the representation of a resource without intending to create it. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use HTTP PUT where the API defines replacement semantics is for replace an entire resource representation through a REST endpoint, 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. PUT generally supplies a complete new representation of a target resource. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 305

An IOS router receives a packet for a destination reachable by two equal-cost OSPF next hops in the same /24. The forwarding table installs both next hops. What behavior does equal-cost multipath enable?

  1. It must send two identical copies of every packet to both gateways
  2. The router may distribute eligible flows across the two installed equal-cost next hops.
  3. It disables both paths until one OSPF neighbor fails
  4. It sends all packets to the highest IP address regardless of the equal metric

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

When multiple equal-cost paths to the same prefix are installed, Cisco forwarding can use ECMP load sharing. This differs from longest-prefix selection between overlapping networks.

Incorrect Answers

A:

ECMP load sharing does not ordinarily duplicate each packet to all next hops.

C:

Equal-cost multipath is a usable forwarding state, not an automatic outage.

D:

An IP address numerical ranking is not the normal ECMP path-selection algorithm.

Question 306

A change advisory for Willowbrook Transit has two requirements: (1) troubleshoot missing NAT translations despite matching source ACL, and (2) distinguish one-to-one static NAT from many-to-one overload. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Check whether mappings preserve one fixed global per local host or reuse ports
  2. Set an appropriate DSCP marking at a trusted policy boundary
  3. Verify NAT inside/outside roles and route reachability
  4. Configure ip helper-address on the client VLAN interface
  5. Configure a static inside source NAT mapping

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct for outcome (2): Static mapping binds an address, while overload multiplexes sessions through port translation. It complements the first required control.

C:

Correct for outcome (1): Correct source selection alone does not establish translation if interfaces and routing are misconfigured. The other outcome needs its separate action.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Not selected: Set an appropriate DSCP marking at a trusted policy boundary is for mark traffic for downstream QoS treatment without changing application payload. DSCP bits in the IP header signal intended per-hop forwarding treatment. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

D:

Not selected: Configure ip helper-address on the client VLAN interface is for relay DHCP client broadcasts from a VLAN to a server in another subnet. DHCP relay forwards qualifying broadcast requests as unicast toward the configured server. This is not one of the two required changes.

E:

Not selected: Configure a static inside source NAT mapping is for translate one inside server IP to a fixed public IPv4 address. Static NAT creates a persistent one-to-one inside-local to inside-global translation. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

Question 307

A branch design for Hillcrest Utilities has two requirements: (1) verify that an IPv6 interface has a link-local address, and (2) connect branch locations across a provider-operated geographic network. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Use a three-tier access/distribution/core architecture
  2. Use a collapsed-core two-tier campus design
  3. Use UDP with an application-appropriate real-time protocol
  4. Use a WAN transport design with appropriate edge routers
  5. Inspect show ipv6 interface for the FE80::/10 link-local address

Explanation

Correct Answers

D:

Correct for outcome (2): WAN connectivity links geographically separated LAN sites via a provider or overlay. It complements the first required control.

E:

Correct for outcome (1): Link-local addresses are used for on-link neighbor discovery and routing adjacencies. The other outcome needs its separate action.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Not selected: Use a three-tier access/distribution/core architecture is for separate access, aggregation, and backbone roles in a large campus. Separate tiers scale policy aggregation and fast backbone transport independently. This is not one of the two required changes.

B:

Not selected: Use a collapsed-core two-tier campus design is for build a small campus with a combined distribution and core layer. The access layer connects endpoints while the collapsed core aggregates access and provides routing. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

C:

Not selected: Use UDP with an application-appropriate real-time protocol is for send brief time-sensitive voice media without waiting for retransmissions. UDP avoids built-in retransmission delays and reliability is managed by the application. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

Question 308

A change advisory for Meridian Insurance has two requirements: (1) transfer a network image using authenticated file service credentials, and (2) explain why ordinary TFTP should not traverse an untrusted network. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, configure SNMP traps or informs to an authorized receiver; then configure ip helper-address on the client VLAN interface.
  2. First, configure transport input ssh on the intended VTY lines; then recognize TFTP lacks encryption and authentication.
  3. First, use an FTP server where that protocol is the specified management option; then recognize TFTP lacks encryption and authentication.
  4. First, use an FTP server where that protocol is the specified management option; then configure a static inside source NAT mapping.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) FTP supports authenticated file transfers but ordinary FTP credentials and payloads are unencrypted. (2) TFTP's simplicity leaves transfers exposed without a separate secure transport boundary. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Configure SNMP traps or informs to an authorized receiver is for notify monitoring of a significant device event without waiting for a poll, and Configure ip helper-address on the client VLAN interface is for relay DHCP client broadcasts from a VLAN to a server in another subnet. SNMP notifications push device events to a management station. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses stop Telnet access on router VTY lines. Restricting VTY transport to SSH prevents cleartext Telnet management access. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses translate one inside server IP to a fixed public IPv4 address. Static NAT creates a persistent one-to-one inside-local to inside-global translation. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 309

An operations ticket for Sable Ridge Manufacturing has two requirements: (1) avoid comparing routing protocol metrics across unrelated protocols, and (2) prevent an interface from sending OSPF hello packets while still advertising its connected network. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, read the first bracketed value as administrative distance and the second as metric; then make their OSPF interface timers compatible.
  2. First, compare AD for identical prefixes before protocol-specific metrics; then inspect show ip route static and next-hop reachability.
  3. First, compare AD for identical prefixes before protocol-specific metrics; then configure passive-interface on the relevant OSPF interface.
  4. First, use OSPF interface path cost for SPF path choice and AD for source preference; then configure passive-interface on the relevant OSPF interface.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) OSPF and EIGRP metrics are not directly comparable scales across protocols. (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:

Neither step is the requested pair: Read the first bracketed value as administrative distance and the second as metric is for interpret the administrative distance and metric displayed in brackets, and Make their OSPF interface timers compatible is for diagnose OSPF peers with different hello/dead intervals. IOS route display commonly uses [administrative distance/metric] following the route code. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses check whether a configured static route is installed. A static route must resolve an eligible next hop or egress path to be usable. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses avoid confusing OSPF routing cost with administrative distance. OSPF metric selects routes within OSPF, while AD selects between separate routing sources. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 310

During a review, the administrator for Harborview Logistics is asked to troubleshoot DAI dropping valid static-IP devices that lack DHCP bindings. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Deny TCP destination port 23 with the intended host match, and permit TCP 22 as required
  2. Segment access and apply least-privilege traffic rules
  3. Add approved static ARP ACL validation entries or equivalent supported bindings
  4. Monitor traffic for reconnaissance patterns and apply edge controls

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

DAI needs a trusted IP/MAC association for hosts without DHCP-snooping entries. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

TCP port 23 identifies Telnet, while SSH normally uses TCP port 22. That is not sufficient here: DAI needs a trusted IP/MAC association for hosts without DHCP-snooping entries.

B:

Segmentation limits lateral movement paths through network boundaries. That is not sufficient here: DAI needs a trusted IP/MAC association for hosts without DHCP-snooping entries.

D:

Scanning probes service exposure and can be an early indicator of attempted intrusion. That is not sufficient here: DAI needs a trusted IP/MAC association for hosts without DHCP-snooping entries.
