Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 59

Question 580

A branch design for Riverside Data has two requirements: (1) offer the default gateway to clients through an IOS DHCP pool, and (2) verify active bindings assigned by a Cisco IOS DHCP server. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Use show ip dhcp binding
  2. Configure ntp server pointing to the approved NTP server address
  3. Expect the client to send DHCPREQUEST and receive DHCPACK on success
  4. Recognize TFTP lacks encryption and authentication
  5. Set default-router to the correct local gateway in the DHCP network scope

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct for outcome (2): The binding table lists leased addresses and client identifiers for the IOS DHCP service. It complements the first required control.

E:

Correct for outcome (1): The DHCP router option tells clients which on-link next hop handles off-subnet destinations. The other outcome needs its separate action.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Not selected: Configure ntp server pointing to the approved NTP server address is for synchronize router time with a centralized authoritative NTP source. NTP clients exchange time with configured time sources and discipline local clocks. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

C:

Not selected: Expect the client to send DHCPREQUEST and receive DHCPACK on success is for interpret a client renewing an existing DHCP lease. A lease renewal requests continued use of the address from a DHCP server. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

D:

Not selected: Recognize TFTP lacks encryption and authentication is for explain why ordinary TFTP should not traverse an untrusted network. TFTP's simplicity leaves transfers exposed without a separate secure transport boundary. This is not one of the two required changes.

Question 581

Cedarline Hotels needs to find the next-hop IP for a learned destination prefix. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Configure router-id under the OSPF process and restart the process when required
  2. Find the default 0.0.0.0/0 route and gateway of last resort
  3. Run show ip ospf neighbor and inspect state
  4. Inspect the via next-hop field in show ip route

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The routing-table next hop identifies the neighbor to which packets should be forwarded. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

An explicitly configured 32-bit router ID has priority over automatic loopback/interface selection. That is not sufficient here: The routing-table next hop identifies the neighbor to which packets should be forwarded.

B:

A default route handles destinations not covered by a more-specific installed route. That is not sufficient here: The routing-table next hop identifies the neighbor to which packets should be forwarded.

C:

The neighbor table shows adjacency state and neighbor identifiers on OSPF interfaces. That is not sufficient here: The routing-table next hop identifies the neighbor to which packets should be forwarded.

Question 582

R1 receives OSPFv2 Hellos from R2 on their area 0 Ethernet link, but the neighbor entry on R1 stays in INIT. Packet captures show that Hellos sent by R1 never arrive at R2. Which investigation most directly addresses this state?

  1. Change both routers to OSPF process ID 1 so their local process numbers match.
  2. Inspect multicast Hello delivery and inbound filtering on R2 for packets sent by R1.
  3. Increase R2 interface cost so it prefers R1 as the next hop.
  4. Configure R1 and R2 with the same OSPF router ID.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

INIT indicates one-way neighbor discovery: R1 hears R2, but R2 is not acknowledging R1 in its Hello neighbor list. Checking that path addresses the captured loss.

Incorrect Answers

A:

OSPF process IDs have only local significance and do not need to match across routers.

C:

Interface cost influences route selection after adjacency and will not restore missing Hellos.

D:

Router IDs must be unique; duplicating them introduces an additional adjacency problem.

Question 583

An operations ticket for Oakbridge University has two requirements: (1) understand Rapid PVST+ alternate-port behavior, and (2) enable rapid host access without waiting for ordinary STP transitions. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Enable Root Guard on the intended designated port
  2. Use an appropriate TACACS+ AAA design
  3. Keep the alternate port discarding until needed
  4. Disable CDP on that specific interface
  5. Configure spanning-tree portfast on a true endpoint-facing access port

Explanation

Correct Answers

C:

Correct for outcome (1): An alternate port provides a backup path that does not forward user frames during normal loop-free operation. The other outcome needs its separate action.

E:

Correct for outcome (2): PortFast brings an edge port to forwarding quickly; it is not safe for an unintended switch link. It complements the first required control.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Not selected: Enable Root Guard on the intended designated port is for prevent a downstream switch from claiming the root role over an uplink. Root Guard holds the port in a root-inconsistent state if superior BPDUs arrive. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

B:

Not selected: Use an appropriate TACACS+ AAA design is for centrally authenticate network device administrators and separately account for command authorization. TACACS+ supports granular device administration authorization and accounting through AAA. This is not one of the two required changes.

D:

Not selected: Disable CDP on that specific interface is for avoid exposing Cisco discovery information on an untrusted edge link. Interface-level no cdp enable stops Cisco discovery advertisements on the selected port. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

Question 584

A branch design for Stonebridge Learning has two requirements: (1) interpret a successful REST resource creation response, and (2) avoid a syntax error when a JSON object has several fields. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, recognize HTTP status 201 Created where the API follows that convention; then separate property pairs with commas and quote property names.
  2. First, require validated evidence and human/network policy checks before execution; then run terraform plan and review its proposed actions.
  3. First, use an overlay network or virtual segmentation policy; then separate property pairs with commas and quote property names.
  4. First, recognize HTTP status 201 Created where the API follows that convention; then use controlled network automation with validated templates.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) HTTP 201 indicates a resource was created, often with a Location header. (2) JSON object syntax requires comma-separated key/value pairs and double-quoted keys. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

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 Run terraform plan and review its proposed actions is for check what Terraform intends to change before deploying. AI suggestions are fallible and should not bypass deterministic authorization or operational verification. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses explain the logical segmentation created over a shared routed fabric. An overlay encodes logical connectivity and isolation on top of the underlay. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second 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 (2) unfulfilled.

Question 585

During a review, the administrator for Greenfield Services is asked to check whether a configured static route is installed. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Use router ospf with network statements and wildcard masks for area 0
  2. Inspect show ip route static and next-hop reachability
  3. Give the backup static route AD higher than OSPF's 110
  4. Use an IPv6 static /128 host route with a valid next hop

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A static route must resolve an eligible next hop or egress path to be usable. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

OSPF network statements select interfaces for the specified area using address and wildcard matching. That is not sufficient here: A static route must resolve an eligible next hop or egress path to be usable.

C:

A floating static route loses normally but is installed when the preferred OSPF route is withdrawn. That is not sufficient here: A static route must resolve an eligible next hop or egress path to be usable.

D:

A /128 prefix matches a single IPv6 unicast address. That is not sufficient here: A static route must resolve an eligible next hop or egress path to be usable.

Question 586

OSPFv2 on an Ethernet link reports no adjacency. Router R1 Gi0/2 belongs to area 0 but R2 Gi0/2 belongs to area 23. IP subnet, hello/dead intervals, and authentication agree. What single correction addresses the logged area mismatch?

  1. Keep R2 Gi0/2 in area 23 but change the DR priority
  2. Disable OSPF on R1 Gi0/2
  3. Configure R2 Gi0/2 OSPF interface in area 0 to match R1
  4. Change the IPv4 gateway on an unrelated VLAN 117

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

OSPF neighbors on a shared link must agree on area; correcting R2 area membership resolves the stated mismatch.

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. “Disable OSPF on R1 Gi0/2” 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. “Change the IPv4 gateway on an unrelated VLAN 117” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.

Question 587

A network upgrade at Oakbridge University has two requirements: (1) avoid comparing routing protocol metrics across unrelated protocols, and (2) forward an IP packet arriving for the router's local interface address. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, compare AD for identical prefixes before protocol-specific metrics; then deliver it to the local protocol stack rather than remote routing.
  2. First, compare AD for identical prefixes before protocol-specific metrics; then use ip route 10.40.8.0 255.255.254.0 with the valid next hop.
  3. First, configure ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.0.2.1; then read the first bracketed value as administrative distance and the second as metric.
  4. First, inspect show standby and active/standby states; then deliver it to the local protocol stack rather than remote routing.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) OSPF and EIGRP metrics are not directly comparable scales across protocols. (2) A local host route represents the router's own address, not a remote network. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses install a network static route to 10.40.8.0/23. A /23 mask covers the two adjacent /24s 10.40.8.0 and 10.40.9.0. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Configure ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.0.2.1 is for install a static default IPv4 route to upstream neighbor 192.0.2.1, and Read the first bracketed value as administrative distance and the second as metric is for interpret the administrative distance and metric displayed in brackets. The all-zero destination and mask define the IPv4 default route via the next hop. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses verify which Cisco router currently owns an HSRP virtual gateway. Cisco HSRP status identifies the virtual IP, role, priority, and participating peers. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 588

An administrator changes `router-id` under the OSPF process to 10.10.10.10, but `show ip ospf` still displays the old process router ID; neighbors use the existing identity. The platform warns that the new router ID takes effect after restarting the OSPF process. What should the engineer do during an approved maintenance window?

  1. Change the IP address of an unrelated switch VLAN and expect the active process ID to update instantly.
  2. Use the supported OSPF process restart/clear procedure and verify the new router ID and neighbor reconvergence.
  3. Set OSPF interface priority to zero on every interface to force the process router ID to refresh.
  4. Configure a DHCP helper address on an OSPF interface to signal the new router ID.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

On the described platform the router ID is retained for the live OSPF process until it is restarted, after which neighbors must reconverge.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A separate interface address does not override an explicitly configured process router ID.

C:

Interface priority controls DR eligibility, not whether a configured router ID is activated.

D:

DHCP relay has no role in OSPF process identity changes.

Question 589

During a review, the administrator for Meridian Insurance is asked to protect traffic between branch routers over an untrusted WAN. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Create username entries with the secret option and appropriate privilege
  2. Enable dynamic ARP inspection with valid bindings and trusted infrastructure links
  3. Separate authentication from authorization in AAA
  4. Deploy an IPsec site-to-site VPN tunnel

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Site-to-site IPsec protects routed flows between security gateways over an untrusted underlay. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

IOS username secret stores a protected password hash rather than literal cleartext configuration. That is not sufficient here: Site-to-site IPsec protects routed flows between security gateways over an untrusted underlay.

B:

DAI validates ARP address mappings against bindings or approved ARP ACLs. That is not sufficient here: Site-to-site IPsec protects routed flows between security gateways over an untrusted underlay.

C:

A valid credential alone does not entitle a user to modify network configuration. That is not sufficient here: Site-to-site IPsec protects routed flows between security gateways over an untrusted underlay.

Question 590

A network upgrade at Cedarline Hotels has two requirements: (1) form a modified EUI-64 interface identifier from a 48-bit MAC, and (2) distinguish a public-scope IPv6 unicast destination. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Insert FFFE and invert the universal/local bit at the defined location
  2. Recognize globally routable 2000::/3 unicast addresses
  3. Run ip route get with the destination IP
  4. Inspect physical cabling, transceivers, and interface counters
  5. Run ipconfig /all on the Windows client

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct for outcome (1): Modified EUI-64 expands the 48-bit MAC and flips the U/L bit to form a 64-bit identifier. The other outcome needs its separate action.

B:

Correct for outcome (2): IPv6 global unicast ranges provide global routing scope subject to assigned prefixes and filters. It complements the first required control.

Incorrect Answers

C:

Not selected: Run ip route get with the destination IP is for check the selected route to a destination on Linux. Linux route lookup reveals the chosen outgoing interface and gateway for that address. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

D:

Not selected: Inspect physical cabling, transceivers, and interface counters is for diagnose rising CRC/FCS errors on one access port. Corrupt Ethernet frames commonly indicate physical media, cabling, or signaling faults. This is not one of the two required changes.

E:

Not selected: Run ipconfig /all on the Windows client is for see IPv4 address, mask, gateway and DNS on Windows. Windows ipconfig /all displays detailed TCP/IP adapter configuration. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.
