Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 34

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.

Question 331

A change request at Stonebridge Learning during a fault isolation test requires the team to apply the same network configuration task across devices from an inventory file. Which response best meets this requirement?

  1. Roll out changes to a small validated device group before fleet-wide execution
  2. Use the underlay network
  3. Use Ansible playbooks and modules with device groups
  4. Use JSON null rather than the string "null"

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Ansible inventories and playbooks run repeatable tasks across selected managed devices. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Staged automation reduces the number of devices affected by an unexpected template error. That is not sufficient here: Ansible inventories and playbooks run repeatable tasks across selected managed devices.

B:

The underlay provides physical/routed reachability for encapsulated overlay transport. That is not sufficient here: Ansible inventories and playbooks run repeatable tasks across selected managed devices.

D:

The null literal means no value, while the quoted text is a string. That is not sufficient here: Ansible inventories and playbooks run repeatable tasks across selected managed devices.

Question 332

At Cascade Health, an engineer must distinguish a trained predictive model from fixed threshold alerting. Which option best addresses this requirement?

  1. Recognize learned features and forecast outcomes versus predefined static limits
  2. Keep traffic on programmed device forwarding paths
  3. Use before-and-after state validation with explicit invariants
  4. Use HTTP PATCH on a supporting REST resource

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

ML models fit patterns from data, while simple thresholds use explicit static comparison rules. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A controller supplies decisions/policies; deployed devices usually perform packet forwarding. That is not sufficient here: ML models fit patterns from data, while simple thresholds use explicit static comparison rules.

C:

Automated configuration still needs evidence that live devices match the authorized target. That is not sufficient here: ML models fit patterns from data, while simple thresholds use explicit static comparison rules.

D:

PATCH applies a partial update to a resource under the API's defined semantics. That is not sufficient here: ML models fit patterns from data, while simple thresholds use explicit static comparison rules.

Question 333

For the identical prefix 172.19.198.0/24, a router evaluates these route candidates: OSPF (AD 110, via 192.0.2.230); static (AD 1, via 192.0.2.149); RIP (AD 120, via 192.0.2.24); OSPF route was withdrawn. Ignore differences in metric across protocols. Which available source takes precedence in the routing table?

  1. RIP (AD 120, via 192.0.2.24)
  2. No eligible route remains for this prefix
  3. OSPF (AD 110, via 192.0.2.230)
  4. static (AD 1, via 192.0.2.149)

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

static (AD 1) is the eligible same-prefix candidate with the lowest administrative distance; it is preferred over RIP (AD 120).

Incorrect Answers

A:

This RIP route has AD 120, higher than the eligible static (AD 1); for the same prefix, Cisco chooses the lower administrative distance.

B:

The static (AD 1) candidate is still eligible for this exact prefix, so it is incorrect to say that no route remains.

C:

The OSPF route was explicitly withdrawn; its former AD 110 does not make it an eligible candidate for this decision.

Question 334

A network upgrade at Meridian Insurance has two requirements: (1) reduce the chance of an unintended access switch becoming STP root, and (2) route between VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 using a multilayer switch. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, explicitly set switchport mode access on the endpoint-facing port; then configure VLAN SVIs with IP addresses and enable ip routing.
  2. First, set the intended distribution switch's STP priority lower than competing bridges; then configure VLAN SVIs with IP addresses and enable ip routing.
  3. First, set the intended distribution switch's STP priority lower than competing bridges; then configure an appropriate WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise WLAN with RADIUS.
  4. First, enable and inspect LLDP on the link; then check AP management IP, DHCP, DNS/discovery and routing to the WLC.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) STP root election prefers the lowest bridge ID, so priority controls root placement. (2) Layer 3 forwarding across VLANs requires an active routed interface for each subnet. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses avoid a user access port automatically forming an unintended trunk. Access mode prevents the interface from carrying multiple data VLANs as a negotiated trunk. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

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

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Enable and inspect LLDP on the link is for advertise basic device identity to a multivendor adjacent device, and Check AP management IP, DHCP, DNS/discovery and routing to the WLC is for diagnose why a new AP cannot join its WLC despite an active Ethernet port. LLDP is a vendor-neutral Layer 2 discovery protocol that advertises neighbor identity and capabilities. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 335

An acceptance check at Sable Ridge Manufacturing has two requirements: (1) name the combination of underlay, overlay, and policy/control services, and (2) differentiate route calculation from actual packet switching. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, use inventory to define hosts and playbook to define ordered tasks; then separate control-plane decisions from data-plane forwarding.
  2. First, require validated evidence and human/network policy checks before execution; then use JSON null rather than the string "null".
  3. First, recognize the software-defined network fabric architecture; then separate control-plane decisions from data-plane forwarding.
  4. First, recognize the software-defined network fabric architecture; then use HTTP POST according to the API contract.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) A fabric integrates physical transport with virtual endpoints and centralized policy. (2) The control plane computes state while the data plane forwards packets according to installed entries. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses distinguish an Ansible inventory from an Ansible playbook. Inventory specifies managed endpoints while a playbook expresses operations to perform. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Require validated evidence and human/network policy checks before execution is for avoid trusting an AI-recommended change without checking live configuration, and Use JSON null rather than the string "null" is for represent an absent optional API field's value. AI suggestions are fallible and should not bypass deterministic authorization or operational verification. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses create a new resource through a REST API with a request body. POST commonly submits resource creation or actions with a payload. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 336

A network upgrade at Cascade Health has two requirements: (1) explain why packets not matching any explicit ACL permit are dropped, and (2) protect confidentiality of management credentials in transit. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, configure WPA2 PSK and a sufficiently strong passphrase in the WLC GUI; then use DHCP snooping on the client VLAN.
  2. First, publish clear policies and train staff on approved handling procedures; then use authenticated encryption on management protocols.
  3. First, account for the implicit deny at the end of the ACL; then place the deny ACE earlier in sequence order.
  4. First, account for the implicit deny at the end of the ACL; then use authenticated encryption on management protocols.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) ACL processing ends with an implicit deny when no preceding ACE matches. (2) Encryption prevents passive observation of session data while authentication limits impersonation. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Configure WPA2 PSK and a sufficiently strong passphrase in the WLC GUI is for create a controller WLAN that uses WPA2-Personal for a lab SSID, and Use DHCP snooping on the client VLAN is for build an authoritative IP-to-MAC-to-port binding table from legitimate DHCP leases. A WPA2 PSK WLAN authenticates clients through the configured shared secret. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses enforce documented security rules across an organization. Security programs combine policy, awareness and repeatable operational practice. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses ensure a specific host denial is evaluated before a broad permit. IOS ACL processing uses the first matching entry, so later entries are not checked after a match. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 337

During a review, the administrator for Cedarline Hotels is asked to allow the rest of an ACL's traffic after a specific deny. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Use controlled site-to-site IPsec gateway tunnels
  2. Install vendor-approved security patches or mitigations
  3. Apply unique credentials with a password manager and rotation policy
  4. Add an explicit permit for eligible remaining traffic

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Without a final permit, the implicit deny blocks traffic not otherwise matched. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Gateway-to-gateway VPNs connect entire protected subnets without requiring each host a remote-access client. That is not sufficient here: Without a final permit, the implicit deny blocks traffic not otherwise matched.

B:

Fixing or mitigating a known vulnerability reduces exploitability on exposed devices. That is not sufficient here: Without a final permit, the implicit deny blocks traffic not otherwise matched.

C:

Unique secrets prevent one compromise from automatically exposing all devices. That is not sufficient here: Without a final permit, the implicit deny blocks traffic not otherwise matched.

Question 338

Four OSPF routers become eligible simultaneously on an Ethernet broadcast segment, with no existing DR/BDR: R1 (priority 80, router ID 10.255.0.217); R2 (priority 10, router ID 10.255.0.234); R3 (priority 3, router ID 10.255.0.159); R4 (priority 5, router ID 10.255.0.113). Which router becomes the backup designated router (BDR) after the initial DR/BDR election?

  1. R4 (priority 5, router ID 10.255.0.113)
  2. R1 (priority 80, router ID 10.255.0.217)
  3. R2 (priority 10, router ID 10.255.0.234)
  4. R3 (priority 3, router ID 10.255.0.159)

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

R1 is DR with the highest eligible interface priority; R2 has the next-highest eligible priority and becomes BDR. Initial election is assumed to occur only once after neighbors are present, rather than inferring preemption from a late join.

Incorrect Answers

A:

R4 has eligible priority 5, but R2 ranks ahead after the DR is selected.

B:

R1 is the initial DR, not the BDR, because its priority is highest.

D:

R3 has eligible priority 3, but R2 ranks ahead after the DR is selected.

Question 339

Oakbridge University needs to form a modified EUI-64 interface identifier from a 48-bit MAC. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Insert FFFE and invert the universal/local bit at the defined location
  2. Allocate a unique /64 subnet within the /48 block
  3. Use an IPv6 ping to the remote unicast endpoint
  4. Forward only through the learned destination port unless it is the ingress port

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Modified EUI-64 expands the 48-bit MAC and flips the U/L bit to form a 64-bit identifier. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A /48 leaves 16 subnet ID bits for up to 65,536 conventional /64 networks. That is not sufficient here: Modified EUI-64 expands the 48-bit MAC and flips the U/L bit to form a 64-bit identifier.

C:

An IPv6 echo exchange validates reachability across the IPv6 forwarding path. That is not sufficient here: Modified EUI-64 expands the 48-bit MAC and flips the U/L bit to form a 64-bit identifier.

D:

Known unicast switching uses the CAM destination lookup to avoid unnecessary flooding. That is not sufficient here: Modified EUI-64 expands the 48-bit MAC and flips the U/L bit to form a 64-bit identifier.

Question 340

An operations ticket for Baypoint Retail has two requirements: (1) identify the transport three-way handshake behavior, and (2) explain the absence of congestion and delivery guarantees in a datagram protocol. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, recognize TCP SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK setup; then inspect physical cabling, transceivers, and interface counters.
  2. First, recognize TCP SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK setup; then recognize UDP's connectionless best-effort transport.
  3. First, deploy a SOHO integrated gateway; then recognize UDP's connectionless best-effort transport.
  4. First, use TCP with a connection-oriented transport session; then deploy an application server on a reachable network.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) TCP establishes connection state and initial sequence numbers before data transfer. (2) UDP sends datagrams without TCP-style acknowledgments, sequencing or congestion recovery. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 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.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use TCP with a connection-oriented transport session is for require guaranteed in-order delivery with acknowledgments for a file transfer, and Deploy an application server on a reachable network is for host a central application consumed by employee laptops. TCP provides sequencing, retransmission and flow control that UDP does not guarantee. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.
