Question 530

A change advisory for Baypoint Retail has two requirements: (1) deliver predictable east-west paths among multiple data-center racks, and (2) connect branch locations across a provider-operated geographic network. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, use the appropriate FF00::/8 multicast destination; then recognize TCP SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK setup.
  2. First, use a spine-leaf topology with leaf-to-spine uplinks; then use a WAN transport design with appropriate edge routers.
  3. First, use a spine-leaf topology with leaf-to-spine uplinks; then enable a supported WPA2/WPA3 encrypted WLAN security policy.
  4. First, use a three-tier access/distribution/core architecture; then use a WAN transport design with appropriate edge routers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Each leaf reaches other leaves through spine devices, reducing variable hop counts. (2) WAN connectivity links geographically separated LAN sites via a provider or overlay. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use the appropriate FF00::/8 multicast destination is for send an IPv6 packet to every member of a multicast group, and Recognize TCP SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK setup is for identify the transport three-way handshake behavior. IPv6 multicast addresses identify groups, unlike a broadcast address. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses protect wireless payloads from unauthenticated eavesdropping. A protected WLAN uses authenticated key establishment and link encryption, not only SSID hiding. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses separate access, aggregation, and backbone roles in a large campus. Separate tiers scale policy aggregation and fast backbone transport independently. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 531

Oakbridge University needs to reject DHCP OFFER replies sourced from unauthorized user ports. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Select an appropriate WPA2/WPA3 protected security mode
  2. Enable DHCP snooping and designate only known DHCP-server uplinks as trusted
  3. Use badge-controlled physical access with audited entry logs
  4. Use a standard ACL deny for that source IP followed by required permits

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

DHCP snooping drops server-style messages received on untrusted ports. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Modern WLAN security limits passive interception and weak key recovery compared with WEP/open modes. That is not sufficient here: DHCP snooping drops server-style messages received on untrusted ports.

C:

Physical access controls reduce direct device tampering or console misuse. That is not sufficient here: DHCP snooping drops server-style messages received on untrusted ports.

D:

Standard ACLs match IPv4 source addresses rather than destination ports. That is not sufficient here: DHCP snooping drops server-style messages received on untrusted ports.

Question 532

A branch design for Harborview Logistics has two requirements: (1) route an unknown destination when no more-specific route is present, and (2) avoid comparing routing protocol metrics across unrelated protocols. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, configure passive-interface on the relevant OSPF interface; then compare AD for identical prefixes before protocol-specific metrics.
  2. First, use an installed 0.0.0.0/0 default route; then compare AD for identical prefixes before protocol-specific metrics.
  3. First, use an installed 0.0.0.0/0 default route; then give the backup static route AD higher than OSPF's 110.
  4. First, configure an FHRP such as HSRP or VRRP on the gateway VLAN; then use a higher floating static AD and maintain healthy connected interface.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) The default matches any IPv4 destination not better matched by another prefix. (2) OSPF and EIGRP metrics are not directly comparable scales across protocols. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses prevent an interface from sending OSPF hello packets while still advertising its connected network. Passive interfaces suppress OSPF neighbor hello formation while eligible network prefixes remain advertised. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses provide a static backup only if an OSPF route to the same prefix disappears. A floating static route loses normally but is installed when the preferred OSPF route is withdrawn. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Configure an FHRP such as HSRP or VRRP on the gateway VLAN is for explain why two redundant routers alone do not automatically preserve the clients' default gateway, and Use a higher floating static AD and maintain healthy connected interface is for ensure a backup static route does not override a directly connected route to the same prefix. Without a virtual gateway mechanism, loss of the configured single default gateway can strand clients. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 533

A router receives a packet for destination 10.77.134.231. Its installed forwarding table contains 10.0.0.0/8 via 192.0.2.1; 10.77.0.0/16 via 192.0.2.2; 10.77.134.0/24 via 192.0.2.3; 10.77.134.224/28 via 192.0.2.4. Assume these routes are initially valid. The more-specific route(s) 10.77.134.224/28; 10.77.134.0/24 are then withdrawn without replacements. Which remaining route forwards this destination packet?

  1. 10.0.0.0/8 via 192.0.2.1
  2. 10.77.134.224/28 via 192.0.2.4
  3. 10.77.0.0/16 via 192.0.2.2
  4. 10.77.134.0/24 via 192.0.2.3

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

After the listed routes are withdrawn, this remaining /16 prefix is the longest available match for 10.77.134.231. Longest-prefix matching is applied to the installed forwarding routes.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This /8 prefix still matches 10.77.134.231, but the eligible /16 prefix is more specific, so this route is not selected.

B:

This /28 route is explicitly withdrawn from forwarding before the packet arrives, so it cannot be selected even though its prefix covered 10.77.134.231 originally.

D:

This /24 route is explicitly withdrawn from forwarding before the packet arrives, so it cannot be selected even though its prefix covered 10.77.134.231 originally.

Question 534

A non-root switch receives equal root-path cost BPDUs on Gi1/0/1 and Gi1/0/2. Gi1/0/1 hears a lower designated bridge ID than Gi1/0/2. With all other comparisons equal, which port becomes its root port?

  1. Gi1/0/1, because the lower designated bridge ID wins the next root-port tie breaker.
  2. Gi1/0/2 because the higher designated bridge ID is always preferred.
  3. Both become root ports and forward to create equal-cost multipath.
  4. Neither becomes a root port because equal costs disable both.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

When root cost ties, STP compares sender bridge identifiers before lower-level port tie breakers.

Incorrect Answers

B:

STP favors lower identifiers when the preceding root-path cost comparison is tied.

C:

An STP instance selects one root port on a non-root bridge, not parallel forwarding root ports.

D:

Equal costs initiate additional BPDU priority comparisons; they do not inherently block both ports.

Question 535

A change advisory for Sable Ridge Manufacturing has two requirements: (1) provide an access switchport for a desktop in VLAN 20, and (2) connect an IP phone and attached PC using distinct voice and data VLANs. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, use a supported monitor-mode AP; then configure the switchport data access VLAN and switchport voice VLAN.
  2. First, remove it from the trunk allowed VLAN list; then use show etherchannel summary.
  3. First, configure switchport mode access and switchport access vlan 20; then configure the switchport data access VLAN and switchport voice VLAN.
  4. First, configure switchport mode access and switchport access vlan 20; then add routing through an SVI or router gateway.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) An access port sends and receives the configured user VLAN without a data VLAN tag to the ordinary endpoint. (2) A voice VLAN allows supported phones to tag voice traffic separately while forwarding the PC's data VLAN. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses detect unauthorized wireless transmitters without serving client associations. A monitor-mode radio can scan spectrum and clients for management/security without providing ordinary access. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Remove it from the trunk allowed VLAN list is for prevent an unused VLAN from crossing a trunk link, and Use show etherchannel summary is for verify members and state of a Cisco EtherChannel. The allowed list determines which tagged VLANs may traverse the trunk. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses explain why newly created VLAN hosts cannot talk across VLANs by default. A Layer 2 VLAN boundary does not forward IPv4 packets between IP subnets by itself. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 536

An edge router has a valid static route to 198.51.100.0/24 via 192.0.2.5. After the uplink neighbor becomes unreachable and no recursive route resolves that next hop, what should the operator expect?

  1. The route provides connectivity because its configuration text remains in running-config.
  2. Every packet to the prefix is forwarded out every operational interface as a fallback.
  3. The static path cannot provide forwarding until its next-hop reachability is restored or another valid route exists.
  4. The router creates an OSPF adjacency to the next hop automatically.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A configured static prefix does not invent connectivity to the next hop; forwarding requires resolving the next hop on an actual outgoing path.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Configuration persistence does not make an unresolved next-hop address reachable.

B:

Static next-hop resolution never means broadcasting routed traffic on all available links.

D:

A static route is not an OSPF neighbor configuration or routing-protocol discovery mechanism.

Question 537

A network upgrade at Meridian Insurance has two requirements: (1) protect confidentiality of management credentials in transit, and (2) protect a Wi-Fi network using AES-CCMP and a shared passphrase. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, use exec-timeout on VTY lines; then apply sufficiently long unique passphrases with account protection.
  2. First, use authenticated encryption on management protocols; then write an extended ACL permitting the host/source and destination subnet with appropriate transport.
  3. First, use authenticated encryption on management protocols; then use WPA2-Personal where the WLAN/client support it.
  4. First, publish clear policies and train staff on approved handling procedures; then use WPA2-Personal where the WLAN/client support it.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Encryption prevents passive observation of session data while authentication limits impersonation. (2) WPA2 uses robust AES-based link protection in common personal-mode deployments. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use exec-timeout on VTY lines is for configure an idle timeout for remote administrative sessions, and Apply sufficiently long unique passphrases with account protection is for improve account defense against guessed short passwords. An EXEC timeout closes inactive terminal sessions instead of leaving a management login open indefinitely. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses allow one IPv4 source host to reach a management subnet while denying others. Extended ACLs can match both source and destination address criteria for selective traffic policy. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

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.

Question 538

A technician sees an unexpected alternate port on a Rapid PVST+ switch. Which EXEC command is best suited to examine that VLAN instance's root ID, per-port role and path cost?

  1. show vlan brief
  2. show spanning-tree vlan 20
  3. show ip route
  4. show interfaces status

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The per-VLAN spanning-tree display includes root-bridge information and active roles/costs for VLAN 20.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This displays VLAN membership rather than elected STP role and root path cost.

C:

The Layer 3 route table does not show Rapid PVST+ port election state.

D:

Port link status and speed do not by themselves identify root and alternate roles.

Question 539

Summit Research needs to verify the corporate wireless network is enabled after creating a WLAN. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Add an explicit permit for eligible remaining traffic
  2. Enable the WLAN in the WLC GUI and confirm its broadcast/visibility policy
  3. Deploy an approved remote-access VPN client and headend
  4. Apply sufficiently long unique passphrases with account protection

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A configured but disabled WLAN does not accept client associations. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Without a final permit, the implicit deny blocks traffic not otherwise matched. That is not sufficient here: A configured but disabled WLAN does not accept client associations.

C:

Remote access VPNs establish an encrypted session for an individual endpoint. That is not sufficient here: A configured but disabled WLAN does not accept client associations.

D:

Length, uniqueness and rate controls resist common password guessing attacks. That is not sufficient here: A configured but disabled WLAN does not accept client associations.

Question 540

A network upgrade at Sable Ridge Manufacturing has two requirements: (1) publish a wireless network name for corporate users from a WLC, and (2) connect enterprise WLAN clients using a passphrase rather than per-user RADIUS credentials. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, create and enable the WLAN/SSID in the controller GUI; then configure a supported WPA2-Personal PSK WLAN.
  2. First, create and enable the WLAN/SSID in the controller GUI; then recognize the 802.1Q VLAN ID in tagged Ethernet frames.
  3. First, configure switchport mode access and switchport access vlan 20; then configure a supported WPA2-Personal PSK WLAN.
  4. First, treat CDP and LLDP neighbors as directly connected Layer 2 evidence; then use show interfaces trunk.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) The WLAN profile binds an SSID to its wireless security and policy configuration. (2) WPA2-Personal authenticates users with the configured shared key, unlike enterprise 802.1X. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses distinguish tagged VLAN 30 traffic from untagged native VLAN traffic on an 802.1Q trunk. The VLAN identifier in the 802.1Q header preserves VLAN separation across shared trunks. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses provide an access switchport for a desktop in VLAN 20. An access port sends and receives the configured user VLAN without a data VLAN tag to the ordinary endpoint. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Treat CDP and LLDP neighbors as directly connected Layer 2 evidence is for differentiate topology discovery from actual routing reachability, and Use show interfaces trunk is for confirm which VLANs are actively forwarded over a trunk. Discovery advertisements do not prove that an IP route exists or that remote hosts are reachable. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.
