Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 42

Question 410

At Meridian Insurance, an engineer must relay DHCP client broadcasts from a VLAN to a server in another subnet. Which option best addresses this requirement?

  1. Configure remote syslog logging host and appropriate transport settings
  2. Configure ip dhcp excluded-address for the reserved range
  3. Apply traffic shaping to buffer and pace excess packets
  4. Configure ip helper-address on the client VLAN interface

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

DHCP relay forwards qualifying broadcast requests as unicast toward the configured server. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A syslog collector aggregates event messages across devices for correlation and retention. That is not sufficient here: DHCP relay forwards qualifying broadcast requests as unicast toward the configured server.

B:

Exclusions prevent the IOS DHCP pool from leasing reserved router or server addresses. That is not sufficient here: DHCP relay forwards qualifying broadcast requests as unicast toward the configured server.

C:

Shaping delays packets to meet an average rate rather than immediately dropping all excess. That is not sufficient here: DHCP relay forwards qualifying broadcast requests as unicast toward the configured server.

Question 411

A change request at Cascade Health following a scheduled maintenance window requires the team to raise security of admin sign-in beyond only a password. What response best fits this requirement?

  1. Enforce multifactor authentication where available
  2. Inspect show access-lists counters on the device
  3. Use badge-controlled physical access with audited entry logs
  4. Apply the configured Layer 2 WPA2 settings to the WLAN profile

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Multiple independent factors reduce reliance on one compromised secret. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

IOS ACL match counters can show which permit or deny clauses see selected traffic. That is not sufficient here: Multiple independent factors reduce reliance on one compromised secret.

C:

Physical access controls reduce direct device tampering or console misuse. That is not sufficient here: Multiple independent factors reduce reliance on one compromised secret.

D:

The WLAN's Layer 2 security profile controls acceptable association cipher and key methods. That is not sufficient here: Multiple independent factors reduce reliance on one compromised secret.

Question 412

A change request at Riverside Data during network acceptance testing requires the team to inspect DNS resolver settings on a macOS client. Which response best meets this requirement?

  1. Deploy a SOHO integrated gateway
  2. Use IPv6 anycast with routing toward the common address
  3. Use scutil --dns on macOS
  4. Use a router with interfaces or subinterfaces in both routed networks

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

scutil --dns reports the active macOS DNS resolver configuration. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

An all-in-one small-office appliance consolidates routing, NAT, Ethernet access and Wi-Fi. That is not sufficient here: Scutil --dns reports the active macOS DNS resolver configuration.

B:

Anycast uses one unicast-format address on multiple nodes and routing selects a reachable instance. That is not sufficient here: Scutil --dns reports the active macOS DNS resolver configuration.

D:

Routing selects a next hop from a destination IP prefix instead of forwarding solely by MAC address. That is not sufficient here: Scutil --dns reports the active macOS DNS resolver configuration.

Question 413

A network upgrade at Eastbrook Labs has two requirements: (1) protect an individual remote employee connecting from public Wi-Fi, and (2) explain what ESP protects in common IPsec tunnels. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, separate authentication from authorization in AAA; then apply the configured Layer 2 WPA2 settings to the WLAN profile.
  2. First, recognize WPA as older and prefer stronger supported alternatives; then recognize IPsec ESP confidentiality and integrity protection.
  3. First, deploy an approved remote-access VPN client and headend; then monitor traffic for reconnaissance patterns and apply edge controls.
  4. First, deploy an approved remote-access VPN client and headend; then recognize IPsec ESP confidentiality and integrity protection.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Remote access VPNs establish an encrypted session for an individual endpoint. (2) ESP can encrypt payloads and provide authenticated integrity for protected packets. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Separate authentication from authorization in AAA is for avoid confusing proof of identity with permission to change a VLAN, 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. A valid credential alone does not entitle a user to modify network configuration. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses identify a wireless security mode using legacy TKIP and known weaknesses. WPA introduced improvements over WEP but its TKIP design is weaker than modern WPA2/WPA3. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses detect active port scanning that precedes unwanted access attempts. Scanning probes service exposure and can be an early indicator of attempted intrusion. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 414

At Oakbridge University, an engineer must detect active port scanning that precedes unwanted access attempts. What action meets this technical need?

  1. Configure appropriate peer identity authentication and negotiated cryptographic algorithms
  2. Select an appropriate WPA2/WPA3 protected security mode
  3. Monitor traffic for reconnaissance patterns and apply edge controls
  4. Apply the configured Layer 2 WPA2 settings to the WLAN profile

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Scanning probes service exposure and can be an early indicator of attempted intrusion. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A usable IPsec tunnel depends on peers authenticating and agreeing on protection parameters. That is not sufficient here: Scanning probes service exposure and can be an early indicator of attempted intrusion.

B:

Modern WLAN security limits passive interception and weak key recovery compared with WEP/open modes. That is not sufficient here: Scanning probes service exposure and can be an early indicator of attempted intrusion.

D:

The WLAN's Layer 2 security profile controls acceptable association cipher and key methods. That is not sufficient here: Scanning probes service exposure and can be an early indicator of attempted intrusion.

Question 415

For the identical prefix 172.28.40.0/24, a router evaluates these route candidates: RIP (AD 120, via 192.0.2.176); OSPF (AD 110, via 192.0.2.208); connected (AD 0, directly attached interface); OSPF route was withdrawn. Ignore differences in metric across protocols. Which available source takes precedence in the routing table?

  1. connected (AD 0, directly attached interface)
  2. RIP (AD 120, via 192.0.2.176)
  3. No eligible route remains for this prefix
  4. OSPF (AD 110, via 192.0.2.208)

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

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

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

D:

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

Question 416

At Riverside Data, an engineer must distinguish tagged VLAN 30 traffic from untagged native VLAN traffic on an 802.1Q trunk. Which option best addresses this requirement?

  1. Use SSH rather than Telnet
  2. Inspect show cdp neighbors detail on an enabled link
  3. Recognize the 802.1Q VLAN ID in tagged Ethernet frames
  4. Set the intended distribution switch's STP priority lower than competing bridges

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The VLAN identifier in the 802.1Q header preserves VLAN separation across shared trunks. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

SSH encrypts remote terminal data and authentication, whereas Telnet does not. That is not sufficient here: The VLAN identifier in the 802.1Q header preserves VLAN separation across shared trunks.

B:

CDP exchanges Cisco neighbor information at Layer 2, including platform and management identifiers. That is not sufficient here: The VLAN identifier in the 802.1Q header preserves VLAN separation across shared trunks.

D:

STP root election prefers the lowest bridge ID, so priority controls root placement. That is not sufficient here: The VLAN identifier in the 802.1Q header preserves VLAN separation across shared trunks.

Question 417

On VLAN 207, a packet capture proves DHCP Discover is relayed to the remote server with `giaddr` set to the VLAN 207 gateway address. The server sends no Offer, and its configured pools cover only the server subnet. What should be corrected?

  1. Remove `ip helper-address` because the Discover already reached the server.
  2. Add or correct the server DHCP scope for the VLAN 207 client subnet, including that subnet’s gateway option.
  3. Set every client to a fixed address from the server’s own subnet.
  4. Change the remote server’s switchport to a trunk with all VLANs.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A relay gateway address identifies the client network to the DHCP server; a matching pool is needed for an Offer.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The captured relayed Discover proves that relay forwarding is functioning.

C:

That does not supply an appropriate VLAN 207 address or fix dynamic service to the client LAN.

D:

The server receives the relayed unicast; the missing client scope, not Layer 2 tagging, blocks the Offer.

Question 418

During a review, the administrator for Cascade Health is asked to interconnect two Ethernet switch uplink ports with dedicated links. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Deploy an application server on a reachable network
  2. Deploy an access point connected to an appropriate switchport
  3. Use point-to-point Ethernet interfaces with matching capabilities
  4. Enable a supported WPA2/WPA3 encrypted WLAN security policy

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Each switched uplink can operate as a dedicated full-duplex link rather than a shared collision segment. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A server offers shared application services while endpoint hosts initiate requests. That is not sufficient here: Each switched uplink can operate as a dedicated full-duplex link rather than a shared collision segment.

B:

The AP bridges 802.11 client frames to the wired distribution system. That is not sufficient here: Each switched uplink can operate as a dedicated full-duplex link rather than a shared collision segment.

D:

A protected WLAN uses authenticated key establishment and link encryption, not only SSID hiding. That is not sufficient here: Each switched uplink can operate as a dedicated full-duplex link rather than a shared collision segment.

Question 419

Summit Research needs to identify the purpose of an HSRP virtual IP on a user VLAN. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Compare their configured router IDs
  2. Use it as the host default gateway rather than an individual router interface IP
  3. Inspect show ip route static and next-hop reachability
  4. Configure passive-interface on the relevant OSPF interface

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The virtual address stays available across an active/standby gateway role change. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Higher router ID wins the DR election priority tie when both are otherwise eligible. That is not sufficient here: The virtual address stays available across an active/standby gateway role change.

C:

A static route must resolve an eligible next hop or egress path to be usable. That is not sufficient here: The virtual address stays available across an active/standby gateway role change.

D:

Passive interfaces suppress OSPF neighbor hello formation while eligible network prefixes remain advertised. That is not sufficient here: The virtual address stays available across an active/standby gateway role change.

Question 420

An operations ticket for Stonebridge Learning has two requirements: (1) deliver predictable east-west paths among multiple data-center racks, and (2) apply stateful application-aware inspection at the edge. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, insert FFFE and invert the universal/local bit at the defined location; then use the service set identifier or SSID.
  2. First, use show ipv6 route; then use a next-generation firewall with relevant application policies.
  3. First, use a spine-leaf topology with leaf-to-spine uplinks; then use a next-generation firewall with relevant application policies.
  4. First, use a spine-leaf topology with leaf-to-spine uplinks; then use separate virtual routing and forwarding instances.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Each leaf reaches other leaves through spine devices, reducing variable hop counts. (2) A next-generation firewall can classify application traffic and track sessions before permitting flows. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Insert FFFE and invert the universal/local bit at the defined location is for form a modified EUI-64 interface identifier from a 48-bit MAC, and Use the service set identifier or SSID is for identify the broadcast identifier clients select to join a WLAN. Modified EUI-64 expands the 48-bit MAC and flips the U/L bit to form a 64-bit identifier. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses display the IPv6 forwarding table on a Cisco router. The IPv6 routing table exposes connected, static and learned IPv6 destinations. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses hold independent overlapping IP route tables on one router. VRFs logically isolate routing tables even when interfaces share one physical platform. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.
