Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 33

Question 320

Granite Works needs to verify a router can reach its TFTP server before copying an IOS image. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Configure dynamic inside source NAT using the permitted ACL and address pool
  2. Read the syslog facility and severity as distinct attributes
  3. Inspect show ntp associations and show ntp status
  4. Test IP reachability and file path permissions first

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

TFTP requires UDP reachability and server-side access to the intended file path. 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: TFTP requires UDP reachability and server-side access to the intended file path.

B:

Facility indicates message origin while severity indicates importance. That is not sufficient here: TFTP requires UDP reachability and server-side access to the intended file path.

C:

NTP status shows synchronization state, peers and stratum information. That is not sufficient here: TFTP requires UDP reachability and server-side access to the intended file path.

Question 321

A branch design for Baypoint Retail has two requirements: (1) reduce blast radius if one user endpoint becomes compromised, and (2) improve account defense against guessed short passwords. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, configure login block-for with appropriate attempts and time windows; then use a standard ACL deny for that source IP followed by required permits.
  2. First, segment access and apply least-privilege traffic rules; then enable port-security sticky MAC learning.
  3. First, use an approved RADIUS or TACACS+ server architecture; then apply sufficiently long unique passphrases with account protection.
  4. First, segment access and apply least-privilege traffic rules; then apply sufficiently long unique passphrases with account protection.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Segmentation limits lateral movement paths through network boundaries. (2) Length, uniqueness and rate controls resist common password guessing attacks. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Configure login block-for with appropriate attempts and time windows is for limit failed login brute-force attempts against a device, and 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. The IOS login block feature delays further attempts after repeated failed authentications. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses learn a device MAC dynamically and save it as a secure configuration entry. Sticky learning converts learned secure MACs into addresses retained in running configuration. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses prefer centralized network access AAA over per-switch local users where supported. Central AAA provides shared identity policy and audit handling across multiple devices. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 322

An acceptance check at Stonebridge Learning has two requirements: (1) reject DHCP OFFER replies sourced from unauthorized user ports, and (2) improve account defense against guessed short passwords. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, enable DHCP snooping and designate only known DHCP-server uplinks as trusted; then apply sufficiently long unique passphrases with account protection.
  2. First, mark only the legitimate server-facing or relay uplink as DHCP snooping trusted; then use authenticated encryption on management protocols.
  3. First, add approved static ARP ACL validation entries or equivalent supported bindings; then apply sufficiently long unique passphrases with account protection.
  4. First, enable DHCP snooping and designate only known DHCP-server uplinks as trusted; then create username entries with the secret option and appropriate privilege.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) DHCP snooping drops server-style messages received on untrusted ports. (2) Length, uniqueness and rate controls resist common password guessing attacks. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Mark only the legitimate server-facing or relay uplink as DHCP snooping trusted is for avoid allowing untrusted access ports to forward forged DHCP server responses, and Use authenticated encryption on management protocols is for protect confidentiality of management credentials in transit. A trusted uplink assignment without global and VLAN DHCP snooping enablement does not itself block rogue server replies on user access ports. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first 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 (1) unfulfilled.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses avoid storing new local user credentials as plain text. IOS username secret stores a protected password hash rather than literal cleartext configuration. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 323

A change request at Meridian Insurance during a fault isolation test requires the team to check what Terraform intends to change before deploying. Which option directly addresses the stated need?

  1. Use anomaly detection with representative training or baseline data
  2. Run terraform plan and review its proposed actions
  3. Issue HTTP DELETE with required authentication and authorization
  4. Recognize HTTP 401 Unauthorized and inspect credentials

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The plan reports resource changes without applying them to production. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Anomaly detection identifies departures from learned normal patterns for investigation. That is not sufficient here: The plan reports resource changes without applying them to production.

C:

DELETE requests resource removal and must be permitted by the server's policy. That is not sufficient here: The plan reports resource changes without applying them to production.

D:

401 commonly indicates absent/invalid authentication, while 403 often signals insufficient authorization. That is not sufficient here: The plan reports resource changes without applying them to production.

Question 324

Summit Research needs to verify active inside-local and inside-global address mappings. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Set ip nat inside and ip nat outside on correct interfaces
  2. Use show ip nat translations on the translating router
  3. Use TFTP in a trusted isolated management network
  4. Apply traffic shaping to buffer and pace excess packets

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The NAT translation table lists original and translated addresses and ports for active entries. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

NAT direction depends on the configured inside/outside interface roles. That is not sufficient here: The NAT translation table lists original and translated addresses and ports for active entries.

C:

TFTP uses a minimal UDP transfer protocol without built-in authentication or encryption. That is not sufficient here: The NAT translation table lists original and translated addresses and ports for active entries.

D:

Shaping delays packets to meet an average rate rather than immediately dropping all excess. That is not sufficient here: The NAT translation table lists original and translated addresses and ports for active entries.

Question 325

A network upgrade at Stonebridge Learning has two requirements: (1) differentiate route calculation from actual packet switching, and (2) identify the mapping between a JSON key and its associated value. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, separate control-plane decisions from data-plane forwarding; then recognize an object property written as a quoted key followed by a colon.
  2. First, separate control-plane decisions from data-plane forwarding; then require validated evidence and human/network policy checks before execution.
  3. First, run terraform plan and review its proposed actions; then recognize an object property written as a quoted key followed by a colon.
  4. First, use a southbound API or supported control protocol; then use anomaly detection with representative training or baseline data.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) The control plane computes state while the data plane forwards packets according to installed entries. (2) JSON objects store named properties with string keys and supported value types. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

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 check what Terraform intends to change before deploying. The plan reports resource changes without applying them to production. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use a southbound API or supported control protocol is for deliver controller policy to routers and switches using device-facing interfaces, and Use anomaly detection with representative training or baseline data is for detect anomalous device behavior from a baseline of normal traffic. Southbound interfaces connect the network controller to forwarding infrastructure. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 326

A network upgrade at Eastbrook Labs has two requirements: (1) avoid deploying a weak open or legacy encrypted SSID for corporate users, and (2) troubleshoot client association failure when the WLC has an incorrect pre-shared key. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Use an extended ACL permit tcp with the server destination and eq 443
  2. Use WPA3-Personal with compatible clients
  3. Match the PSK configured on the WLAN and clients
  4. Separate authentication from authorization in AAA
  5. Select an appropriate WPA2/WPA3 protected security mode

Explanation

Correct Answers

C:

Correct for outcome (2): WPA2-Personal handshake succeeds only when both sides derive the same key material. It complements the first required control.

E:

Correct for outcome (1): Modern WLAN security limits passive interception and weak key recovery compared with WEP/open modes. The other outcome needs its separate action.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Not selected: Use an extended ACL permit tcp with the server destination and eq 443 is for permit only TCP port 443 to an internal HTTPS server. An extended ACL can distinguish HTTPS TCP traffic from other server ports. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

B:

Not selected: Use WPA3-Personal with compatible clients is for gain SAE-based password authentication on a modern wireless LAN. WPA3-Personal uses SAE for password-authenticated key establishment. This is not one of the two required changes.

D:

Not selected: Separate authentication from authorization in AAA is for avoid confusing proof of identity with permission to change a VLAN. A valid credential alone does not entitle a user to modify network configuration. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

Question 327

A change advisory for Cascade Health has two requirements: (1) verify members and state of a Cisco EtherChannel, and (2) troubleshoot an EtherChannel member suspended after differing switchport configurations. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, configure the same switchport trunk native vlan on both trunk ends; then configure a trunk using 802.1Q with needed allowed VLANs.
  2. First, use show etherchannel summary; then enable a supported protected authentication and encryption policy on the WLAN.
  3. First, configure an appropriate WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise WLAN with RADIUS; then align trunk or access settings and permitted VLANs across members.
  4. First, use show etherchannel summary; then align trunk or access settings and permitted VLANs across members.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) The summary displays the port-channel group, protocol and member flags. (2) Member interfaces require compatible Layer 2 parameters to join the same logical bundle. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Configure the same switchport trunk native vlan on both trunk ends is for change the untagged VLAN on a trunk to match a remote neighbor, and Configure a trunk using 802.1Q with needed allowed VLANs is for carry multiple VLANs between distribution and access switches. Native VLAN mismatch can place untagged traffic into different Layer 2 broadcast domains. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses reject unsecured wireless client associations on a protected SSID. A secure SSID must negotiate the configured credentials and cipher before passing client data. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses enforce per-user identity authentication for an enterprise WLAN. Enterprise WLAN security uses 802.1X/EAP against an authentication server. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 328

A router has 0.0.0.0/0 via ISP-A and a directly connected 192.0.2.0/24 network. A frame addressed to 192.0.2.27 is delivered to the router. What determines the outbound next hop?

  1. The default ISP-A route because Internet service is up
  2. Both paths carry a copy because the default matches any address
  3. The connected /24 match is selected and the router resolves the local destination on that link.
  4. No route exists because 192.0.2.27 is not the subnet network address

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A directly connected subnet is more specific than the default route. The router uses the local interface and ARP to reach the host if needed.

Incorrect Answers

A:

An installed /24 match takes precedence over the all-destinations /0 default.

B:

The more-specific connected route wins over a simultaneous default match.

D:

Connected routes cover all ordinary host destinations inside their prefix.

Question 329

A router receives a packet for destination 10.100.188.239. Its installed forwarding table contains 10.0.0.0/8 via 192.0.2.1; 10.100.0.0/16 via 192.0.2.2; 10.100.188.0/24 via 192.0.2.3; 10.100.188.224/28 via 192.0.2.4. Assume these routes are initially valid. The more-specific route(s) 10.100.188.224/28 are then withdrawn without replacements. Which remaining route forwards this destination packet?

  1. 10.0.0.0/8 via 192.0.2.1
  2. 10.100.0.0/16 via 192.0.2.2
  3. 10.100.188.0/24 via 192.0.2.3
  4. 10.100.188.224/28 via 192.0.2.4

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

After the listed route is withdrawn, this remaining /24 prefix is the longest available match for 10.100.188.239. Longest-prefix matching is applied to the installed forwarding routes.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This /8 prefix still matches 10.100.188.239, but the eligible /24 prefix is more specific, so this route is not selected.

B:

This /16 prefix still matches 10.100.188.239, but the eligible /24 prefix is more specific, so this route is not selected.

D:

This /28 route is explicitly withdrawn from forwarding before the packet arrives, so it cannot be selected even though its prefix covered 10.100.188.239 originally.

Question 330

A branch design for Oakbridge University has two requirements: (1) centrally configure dozens of lightweight access points, and (2) power a ceiling AP through its Ethernet cable. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, use a wireless LAN controller; then recognize an FE80::/10 address with outgoing-interface context.
  2. First, use a next-generation firewall with relevant application policies; then use an appropriate PoE-capable switchport and compatible power budget.
  3. First, deploy a SOHO integrated gateway; then use channels 1, 6 and 11.
  4. First, use a wireless LAN controller; then use an appropriate PoE-capable switchport and compatible power budget.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) A WLC manages supported AP configuration and client WLAN policies centrally. (2) PoE delivers specified electrical power over Ethernet pairs while carrying network traffic. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The first step covers (1), but the second 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 (2) unfulfilled.

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses apply stateful application-aware inspection at the edge. A next-generation firewall can classify application traffic and track sessions before permitting flows. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Deploy a SOHO integrated gateway is for serve a home office with one combined firewall, switch, and wireless radio, and Use channels 1, 6 and 11 is for select three nonoverlapping 20-MHz 2.4-GHz Wi-Fi channels in a common regulatory domain. An all-in-one small-office appliance consolidates routing, NAT, Ethernet access and Wi-Fi. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.
