Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 56

Question 550

Two OSPFv2 routers on shared Ethernet Gi0/3 use the same IPv4 subnet, area, and timers. R1 enables message-digest authentication but R2 is configured for no authentication. What is the targeted fix?

  1. Disable the IP address on R2 Gi0/3
  2. Change R2 hello timer to 100 seconds
  3. Enable DHCP snooping on an unrelated VLAN 150
  4. Configure compatible OSPF authentication mode and matching credentials on R2 Gi0/3

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Peers must agree on OSPFv2 authentication settings and valid credentials to accept Hellos.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This action does not correct the exact interface/OSPF mismatch shown in the scenario.

B:

That explanation does not distinguish this option. “Change R2 hello timer to 100 seconds” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.

C:

That explanation does not distinguish this option. “Enable DHCP snooping on an unrelated VLAN 150” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.

Question 551

A change request at Pinecrest Schools after a topology change requires the team to verify user identity before permitting an administrative login. Which option directly addresses the stated need?

  1. Publish clear policies and train staff on approved handling procedures
  2. Apply sufficiently long unique passphrases with account protection
  3. Enable the WLAN in the WLC GUI and confirm its broadcast/visibility policy
  4. Use authentication as the first AAA function

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Authentication proves who or what is requesting access. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Security programs combine policy, awareness and repeatable operational practice. That is not sufficient here: Authentication proves who or what is requesting access.

B:

Length, uniqueness and rate controls resist common password guessing attacks. That is not sufficient here: Authentication proves who or what is requesting access.

C:

A configured but disabled WLAN does not accept client associations. That is not sufficient here: Authentication proves who or what is requesting access.

Question 552

A network upgrade at Greenfield Services has two requirements: (1) modify selected configuration fields without replacing all others, and (2) delete an authorized API resource by its URI. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, run terraform plan and review its proposed actions; then recognize an object property written as a quoted key followed by a colon.
  2. First, use HTTP PATCH on a supporting REST resource; then use a generative AI assistant with verified source context.
  3. First, use HTTP PATCH on a supporting REST resource; then issue HTTP DELETE with required authentication and authorization.
  4. First, use controlled network automation with validated templates; then issue HTTP DELETE with required authentication and authorization.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) PATCH applies a partial update to a resource under the API's defined semantics. (2) DELETE requests resource removal and must be permitted by the server's policy. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Run terraform plan and review its proposed actions is for check what Terraform intends to change before deploying, and Recognize an object property written as a quoted key followed by a colon is for identify the mapping between a JSON key and its associated value. The plan reports resource changes without applying them to production. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses generate a human-readable incident summary from multiple device logs. Generative models produce natural-language explanations based on supplied events and evidence. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses reduce manual repeated VLAN configuration errors across many devices. Automation applies repeatable tested configuration rather than relying on individually typed changes. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 553

A branch design for North Quay Finance has two requirements: (1) see IPv4 address, mask, gateway and DNS on Windows, and (2) show the assigned IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on a Linux interface. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Run ipconfig /all on the Windows client
  2. Recognize UDP's connectionless best-effort transport
  3. Use a Layer 2 Ethernet switch
  4. Use a next-generation firewall with relevant application policies
  5. Run ip address show on Linux

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct for outcome (1): Windows ipconfig /all displays detailed TCP/IP adapter configuration. The other outcome needs its separate action.

E:

Correct for outcome (2): The ip command displays local interface addresses without assuming legacy ifconfig is installed. It complements the first required control.

Incorrect Answers

B:

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.

C:

Not selected: Use a Layer 2 Ethernet switch is for provide wire-speed forwarding within the same access VLAN. A Layer 2 switch learns source MAC addresses and forwards frames by destination MAC within a broadcast domain. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

D:

Not selected: Use a next-generation firewall with relevant application policies is for apply stateful application-aware inspection at the edge. A next-generation firewall can classify application traffic and track sessions before permitting flows. This is not one of the two required changes.

Question 554

A branch design for Pinecrest Schools has two requirements: (1) install a static default IPv4 route to upstream neighbor 192.0.2.1, and (2) configure a static host route to one IPv4 server at 198.51.100.77. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, configure ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.0.2.1; then compare AD for identical prefixes before protocol-specific metrics.
  2. First, configure ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.0.2.1; then use ip route 198.51.100.77 255.255.255.255 with a valid next hop.
  3. First, inspect the via next-hop field in show ip route; then use ip route 198.51.100.77 255.255.255.255 with a valid next hop.
  4. First, recognize the S routing table code; then use it as the host default gateway rather than an individual router interface IP.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) The all-zero destination and mask define the IPv4 default route via the next hop. (2) A /32 host route matches exactly one IPv4 destination. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses avoid comparing routing protocol metrics across unrelated protocols. OSPF and EIGRP metrics are not directly comparable scales across protocols. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses find the next-hop IP for a learned destination prefix. The routing-table next hop identifies the neighbor to which packets should be forwarded. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Recognize the S routing table code is for distinguish static route entries from learned routes, and Use it as the host default gateway rather than an individual router interface IP is for identify the purpose of an HSRP virtual IP on a user VLAN. Cisco IOS marks configured static routes with S in show ip route. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 555

A network upgrade at Granite Works has two requirements: (1) publish a wireless network name for corporate users from a WLC, and (2) troubleshoot an EtherChannel member suspended after differing switchport configurations. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, keep the alternate port discarding until needed; then align trunk or access settings and permitted VLANs across members.
  2. First, create and enable the WLAN/SSID in the controller GUI; then use the approved 802.1Q trunk configuration when the AP model/mode requires it.
  3. First, configure the same switchport trunk native vlan on both trunk ends; then use a supported monitor-mode AP.
  4. First, create and enable the WLAN/SSID in the controller GUI; then align trunk or access settings and permitted VLANs across members.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) The WLAN profile binds an SSID to its wireless security and policy configuration. (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:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses understand Rapid PVST+ alternate-port behavior. An alternate port provides a backup path that does not forward user frames during normal loop-free operation. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses carry multiple tagged WLAN VLANs to a locally switching AP. Local-switching designs may place multiple client VLANs on the AP's wired uplink. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

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 Use a supported monitor-mode AP is for detect unauthorized wireless transmitters without serving client associations. Native VLAN mismatch can place untagged traffic into different Layer 2 broadcast domains. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 556

Two route sources advertise exactly 203.0.113.0/24: an OSPF route at administrative distance 110 and a valid static route explicitly configured at distance 150. Their prefixes and masks are identical. Which route should install in the routing table?

  1. The OSPF route at administrative distance 110, because it has the lower distance for the exact same prefix.
  2. The static route at distance 150, because static entries always outrank OSPF regardless of an explicitly configured distance.
  3. Both routes always forward in parallel because they share the exact same /24 mask.
  4. Neither route installs until an unrelated default route appears.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

When the destination prefix is identical, administrative distance selects the preferred source; 110 is more trusted than 150. This is not a longest-prefix comparison.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Static routes have a default distance of 1, but this entry is deliberately configured at 150.

C:

Different source preference does not imply equal-cost multipath when distances differ.

D:

A valid route for a specific prefix does not require a default route if its next hop is resolvable.

Question 557

An acceptance check at Copperline Studios has two requirements: (1) enforce per-user identity authentication for an enterprise WLAN, and (2) assign different WLAN client traffic to an approved wired segment. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, keep the alternate port discarding until needed; then map the WLAN to its intended client VLAN or policy profile.
  2. First, configure switchport mode access and switchport access vlan 20; then enable BPDU Guard on the PortFast edge port.
  3. First, configure an appropriate WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise WLAN with RADIUS; then run show vlan brief on the access switch.
  4. First, configure an appropriate WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise WLAN with RADIUS; then map the WLAN to its intended client VLAN or policy profile.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Enterprise WLAN security uses 802.1X/EAP against an authentication server. (2) Controller WLAN-to-VLAN mapping determines the wired broadcast domain for client data. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses understand Rapid PVST+ alternate-port behavior. An alternate port provides a backup path that does not forward user frames during normal loop-free operation. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Configure switchport mode access and switchport access vlan 20 is for provide an access switchport for a desktop in VLAN 20, and Enable BPDU Guard on the PortFast edge port is for shut an edge port immediately if an unexpected switch BPDU arrives. An access port sends and receives the configured user VLAN without a data VLAN tag to the ordinary endpoint. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses verify that a desktop interface belongs to the intended VLAN. The VLAN table lists local VLAN membership for access ports and available VLAN identifiers. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 558

Eastbrook Labs needs to provide centralized wireless client authentication using an industry-standard AAA protocol. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Explicitly set switchport mode access on the endpoint-facing port
  2. Recognize the 802.1Q VLAN ID in tagged Ethernet frames
  3. Use RADIUS with an authorized WLAN authentication design
  4. Configure controller-supported link aggregation with the corresponding switch port-channel

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

RADIUS commonly handles network-access authentication and accounting for 802.1X WLAN clients. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Access mode prevents the interface from carrying multiple data VLANs as a negotiated trunk. That is not sufficient here: RADIUS commonly handles network-access authentication and accounting for 802.1X WLAN clients.

B:

The VLAN identifier in the 802.1Q header preserves VLAN separation across shared trunks. That is not sufficient here: RADIUS commonly handles network-access authentication and accounting for 802.1X WLAN clients.

D:

A compatible aggregated uplink spreads supported traffic across multiple physical links. That is not sufficient here: RADIUS commonly handles network-access authentication and accounting for 802.1X WLAN clients.

Question 559

A change request at Copperline Studios after a topology change requires the team to elect the designated router on a broadcast multiaccess segment. Which response best meets this requirement?

  1. Run show ip ospf neighbor and inspect state
  2. Compare OSPF path metrics for the eligible equal-distance protocol routes
  3. Negate the matching ip route statement with no ip route
  4. Compare OSPF interface priority, then router ID among eligible candidates

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Broadcast OSPF uses a DR/BDR election based on configured priority and router-ID tie breaks. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The neighbor table shows adjacency state and neighbor identifiers on OSPF interfaces. That is not sufficient here: Broadcast OSPF uses a DR/BDR election based on configured priority and router-ID tie breaks.

B:

Within one protocol and destination prefix the protocol metric selects preferred path cost. That is not sufficient here: Broadcast OSPF uses a DR/BDR election based on configured priority and router-ID tie breaks.

C:

Removing the static configuration affects that route, not the unrelated dynamic routing protocol. That is not sufficient here: Broadcast OSPF uses a DR/BDR election based on configured priority and router-ID tie breaks.

Question 560

An operations ticket for Baypoint Retail has two requirements: (1) make two routers with mismatched OSPF area IDs become neighbors, and (2) elect the designated router on a broadcast multiaccess segment. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, configure the matching OSPF area number on their shared link; then compare OSPF interface priority, then router ID among eligible candidates.
  2. First, recognize the S routing table code; then use router ospf with network statements and wildcard masks for area 0.
  3. First, configure the matching OSPF area number on their shared link; then distinguish connected C entries from O or S routes.
  4. First, use it as the host default gateway rather than an individual router interface IP; then compare OSPF interface priority, then router ID among eligible candidates.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) OSPF neighbors must agree on the area for an eligible adjacency. (2) Broadcast OSPF uses a DR/BDR election based on configured priority and router-ID tie breaks. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Recognize the S routing table code is for distinguish static route entries from learned routes, and Use router ospf with network statements and wildcard masks for area 0 is for enable single-area OSPF on matching IPv4 interfaces. Cisco IOS marks configured static routes with S in show ip route. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses interpret a directly connected interface network versus remote learned network. Directly connected prefixes have an attached interface, while remote routes require a next hop or recursion. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses identify the purpose of an HSRP virtual IP on a user VLAN. The virtual address stays available across an active/standby gateway role change. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.
