Question 470

Switches on one Rapid PVST+ VLAN instance advertise these bridge IDs: SW-1 (priority 32768, MAC 2c1a55ffffed); SW-2 (priority 8192, MAC 8899498771f3); SW-3 (priority 4096, MAC 3460772e5a65); SW-4 (priority 24576, MAC 344da88b8ce2). They are powered on with no previous root. Which switch is the elected root?

  1. SW-3 (priority 4096, MAC 3460772e5a65)
  2. SW-2 (priority 8192, MAC 8899498771f3)
  3. SW-1 (priority 32768, MAC 2c1a55ffffed)
  4. SW-4 (priority 24576, MAC 344da88b8ce2)

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The STP root is the switch with the numerically lowest bridge ID: priority is compared first, followed by MAC on ties. SW-3 has the lowest priority 4096.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Its advertised priority is greater than the winner 4096, and no tie breaker changes the result.

C:

That explanation does not distinguish this option. “SW-1 (priority 32768, MAC 2c1a55ffffed)” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.

D:

That explanation does not distinguish this option. “SW-4 (priority 24576, MAC 344da88b8ce2)” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.

Question 471

An acceptance check at Copperline Studios has two requirements: (1) connect a desktop to a nearby switch with common Ethernet twisted pair, and (2) interconnect two Ethernet switch uplink ports with dedicated links. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, use copper twisted-pair cabling within the Ethernet standard's reach; then use point-to-point Ethernet interfaces with matching capabilities.
  2. First, use a collapsed-core two-tier campus design; then use a three-tier access/distribution/core architecture.
  3. First, forward only through the learned destination port unless it is the ingress port; then use point-to-point Ethernet interfaces with matching capabilities.
  4. First, use copper twisted-pair cabling within the Ethernet standard's reach; then use a suitable /30 traditional point-to-point subnet.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Copper Ethernet PHYs are designed for local structured cabling with category and distance limits. (2) Each switched uplink can operate as a dedicated full-duplex link rather than a shared collision segment. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use a collapsed-core two-tier campus design is for build a small campus with a combined distribution and core layer, and Use a three-tier access/distribution/core architecture is for separate access, aggregation, and backbone roles in a large campus. The access layer connects endpoints while the collapsed core aggregates access and provides routing. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses deliver a frame with a known unicast destination in the same VLAN. Known unicast switching uses the CAM destination lookup to avoid unnecessary flooding. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses allocate a point-to-point routed IPv4 link using two usable host addresses. A /30 contains four total addresses and two ordinarily usable interface addresses. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 472

A network upgrade at Sable Ridge Manufacturing has two requirements: (1) generate credentials used by an IOS SSH server, and (2) verify users can reach and authenticate to the router's SSH endpoint. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, recognize Emergency as the most critical severity; then test SSH to the management IP and inspect VTY access restrictions.
  2. First, configure ip helper-address on the client VLAN interface; then provide a DHCP scope with a valid address pool and options.
  3. First, generate appropriate RSA or supported SSH host keys; then test SSH to the management IP and inspect VTY access restrictions.
  4. First, generate appropriate RSA or supported SSH host keys; then read the syslog facility and severity as distinct attributes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) SSH server authentication depends on a usable host key rather than only configuring a VTY password. (2) Remote SSH requires reachable management IP, active SSH service and permitted VTY authentication. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses classify an IOS syslog message with severity 0. Syslog severity values run from 0 Emergency to 7 Debugging. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Configure ip helper-address on the client VLAN interface is for relay DHCP client broadcasts from a VLAN to a server in another subnet, and Provide a DHCP scope with a valid address pool and options is for allocate IPv4 addresses, mask, gateway and DNS information automatically to clients. DHCP relay forwards qualifying broadcast requests as unicast toward the configured server. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses separate which subsystem emitted a device log from its urgency. Facility indicates message origin while severity indicates importance. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 473

A Cisco IOS core device sends a syslog event labeled with numeric severity 0 during a major failure. Which operational meaning should the on-call team assign to that severity?

  1. A routine configuration notification that normally uses level 5
  2. An emergency or system-unusable condition at the highest urgency
  3. Verbose diagnostic output at debugging level 7
  4. A warning condition at level 4

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Cisco defines severity 0 as emergencies, indicating an unusable system and the highest urgency in the syslog scale.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Routine but significant configuration events use notifications at severity 5, not the highest-priority emergency level.

C:

Debugging output is at numeric severity 7, the least urgent in the standard Cisco syslog range.

D:

Warnings are severity 4, less urgent than emergencies at level 0.

Question 474

Switches on one Rapid PVST+ VLAN instance advertise these bridge IDs: SW-1 (priority 32768, MAC 822a7dbb0d9b); SW-2 (priority 16384, MAC 3d7b46cf92b4); SW-3 (priority 20480, MAC 6cc51515279f); SW-4 (priority 4096, MAC 1022d2057389). They are powered on with no previous root. Which switch is the elected root?

  1. SW-2 (priority 16384, MAC 3d7b46cf92b4)
  2. SW-4 (priority 4096, MAC 1022d2057389)
  3. SW-1 (priority 32768, MAC 822a7dbb0d9b)
  4. SW-3 (priority 20480, MAC 6cc51515279f)

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The STP root is the switch with the numerically lowest bridge ID: priority is compared first, followed by MAC on ties. SW-4 has the lowest priority 4096.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Its advertised priority is greater than the winner 4096, and no tie breaker changes the result.

C:

That explanation does not distinguish this option. “SW-1 (priority 32768, MAC 822a7dbb0d9b)” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.

D:

That explanation does not distinguish this option. “SW-3 (priority 20480, MAC 6cc51515279f)” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.

Question 475

A change advisory for North Quay Finance has two requirements: (1) protect Cisco privileged EXEC mode with a nonplaintext stored secret, and (2) require a local credential when accessing an IOS console. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, configure enable secret rather than a plain enable password; then configure a local username, login local, and relevant console line settings.
  2. First, label the software weakness as a vulnerability and misuse as an exploit; then configure a local username, login local, and relevant console line settings.
  3. First, configure enable secret rather than a plain enable password; then use authenticated local users or centralized AAA over SSH.
  4. First, apply sufficiently long unique passphrases with account protection; then use switchport port-security violation shutdown.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) enable secret uses one-way storage appropriate for privileged-mode access. (2) Line login local authenticates against the device's configured local user database. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses distinguish a software flaw from an attacker action exploiting it. A vulnerability is an exposure; an exploit is a technique that takes advantage of that exposure. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

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.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Apply sufficiently long unique passphrases with account protection is for improve account defense against guessed short passwords, and Use switchport port-security violation shutdown is for disable a switchport after a port-security violation. Length, uniqueness and rate controls resist common password guessing attacks. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 476

A network upgrade at Baypoint Retail has two requirements: (1) identify an IPv6 link-local next hop, and (2) send an IPv6 packet to every member of a multicast group. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Use a router with interfaces or subinterfaces in both routed networks
  2. Recognize an FE80::/10 address with outgoing-interface context
  3. Use a WAN transport design with appropriate edge routers
  4. Use the appropriate FF00::/8 multicast destination
  5. Recognize UDP's connectionless best-effort transport

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

Correct for outcome (1): A link-local IPv6 address is only meaningful on its link and may require an interface zone. The other outcome needs its separate action.

D:

Correct for outcome (2): IPv6 multicast addresses identify groups, unlike a broadcast address. It complements the first required control.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Not selected: Use a router with interfaces or subinterfaces in both routed networks is for connect two IP subnets and forward packets between them. Routing selects a next hop from a destination IP prefix instead of forwarding solely by MAC address. This is not one of the two required changes.

C:

Not selected: Use a WAN transport design with appropriate edge routers is for connect branch locations across a provider-operated geographic network. WAN connectivity links geographically separated LAN sites via a provider or overlay. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

E:

Not selected: Recognize UDP's connectionless best-effort transport is for explain the absence of congestion and delivery guarantees in a datagram protocol. UDP sends datagrams without TCP-style acknowledgments, sequencing or congestion recovery. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

Question 477

A branch design for Meridian Insurance has two requirements: (1) verify which Cisco router currently owns an HSRP virtual gateway, and (2) ensure a backup static route does not override a directly connected route to the same prefix. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, use router ospf with network statements and wildcard masks for area 0; then deliver it to the local protocol stack rather than remote routing.
  2. First, expect an FHRP backup peer to assume the virtual gateway role; then use a higher floating static AD and maintain healthy connected interface.
  3. First, inspect show standby and active/standby states; then use a higher floating static AD and maintain healthy connected interface.
  4. First, inspect show standby and active/standby states; then deploy a first-hop redundancy protocol with a virtual gateway address.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Cisco HSRP status identifies the virtual IP, role, priority, and participating peers. (2) Connected routes have distance 0 and normally beat ordinary or floating static alternatives. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use router ospf with network statements and wildcard masks for area 0 is for enable single-area OSPF on matching IPv4 interfaces, and Deliver it to the local protocol stack rather than remote routing is for forward an IP packet arriving for the router's local interface address. OSPF network statements select interfaces for the specified area using address and wildcard matching. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses recognize a standby gateway takeover after the active router fails. First-hop redundancy coordinates gateway ownership and failover for attached hosts. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses keep a shared default gateway available after one distribution switch fails. FHRPs let clients use one virtual default gateway while eligible routers coordinate active forwarding. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 478

At Meridian Insurance, an engineer must provide a static backup only if an OSPF route to the same prefix disappears. Which action directly meets this requirement?

  1. Give the backup static route AD higher than OSPF's 110
  2. Run show ip ospf neighbor and inspect state
  3. Configure passive-interface on the relevant OSPF interface
  4. Inspect show standby and active/standby states

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

A floating static route loses normally but is installed when the preferred OSPF route is withdrawn. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The neighbor table shows adjacency state and neighbor identifiers on OSPF interfaces. That is not sufficient here: A floating static route loses normally but is installed when the preferred OSPF route is withdrawn.

C:

Passive interfaces suppress OSPF neighbor hello formation while eligible network prefixes remain advertised. That is not sufficient here: A floating static route loses normally but is installed when the preferred OSPF route is withdrawn.

D:

Cisco HSRP status identifies the virtual IP, role, priority, and participating peers. That is not sufficient here: A floating static route loses normally but is installed when the preferred OSPF route is withdrawn.

Question 479

A network upgrade at Summit Research has two requirements: (1) recognize that SDN management is not literally a single router for every data packet, and (2) explain why fabric endpoint mobility can work without changing each physical trunk. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Use logical overlay endpoint mappings on a reachable underlay
  2. Keep traffic on programmed device forwarding paths
  3. Use HTTP POST according to the API contract
  4. Use the underlay network
  5. Recognize the software-defined network fabric architecture

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct for outcome (2): Endpoint-to-location mappings decouple service connectivity from physical topology. It complements the first required control.

B:

Correct for outcome (1): A controller supplies decisions/policies; deployed devices usually perform packet forwarding. The other outcome needs its separate action.

Incorrect Answers

C:

Not selected: Use HTTP POST according to the API contract is for create a new resource through a REST API with a request body. POST commonly submits resource creation or actions with a payload. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

D:

Not selected: Use the underlay network is for identify the physical routed transport that carries tunneled traffic between fabric nodes. The underlay provides physical/routed reachability for encapsulated overlay transport. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

E:

Not selected: Recognize the software-defined network fabric architecture is for name the combination of underlay, overlay, and policy/control services. A fabric integrates physical transport with virtual endpoints and centralized policy. This is not one of the two required changes.

Question 480

A branch design for Harborview Logistics has two requirements: (1) verify the corporate wireless network is enabled after creating a WLAN, and (2) create a controller WLAN that uses WPA2-Personal for a lab SSID. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, use an approved certificate-based device identity; then apply unique credentials with a password manager and rotation policy.
  2. First, enable the WLAN in the WLC GUI and confirm its broadcast/visibility policy; then configure WPA2 PSK and a sufficiently strong passphrase in the WLC GUI.
  3. First, deploy an IPsec site-to-site VPN tunnel; then configure WPA2 PSK and a sufficiently strong passphrase in the WLC GUI.
  4. First, enable the WLAN in the WLC GUI and confirm its broadcast/visibility policy; then use controlled site-to-site IPsec gateway tunnels.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) A configured but disabled WLAN does not accept client associations. (2) A WPA2 PSK WLAN authenticates clients through the configured shared secret. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use an approved certificate-based device identity is for authenticate a device without managing a shared human password, and Apply unique credentials with a password manager and rotation policy is for reduce password reuse across device administrators. Certificates bind cryptographic credentials to a trusted issuing authority and verified identity. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses protect traffic between branch routers over an untrusted WAN. Site-to-site IPsec protects routed flows between security gateways over an untrusted underlay. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses choose a VPN topology for dozens of branches connecting two headquarters networks. Gateway-to-gateway VPNs connect entire protected subnets without requiring each host a remote-access client. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.
