Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 7

Question 60

During a review, the administrator for Harborview Logistics is asked to provide a service-facing way for an application to request network policy from a controller. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Run terraform plan and review its proposed actions
  2. Use logical overlay endpoint mappings on a reachable underlay
  3. Send application/json with valid key-value object syntax
  4. Use a northbound API

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Northbound APIs expose controller abstractions to higher-level orchestration or applications. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The plan reports resource changes without applying them to production. That is not sufficient here: Northbound APIs expose controller abstractions to higher-level orchestration or applications.

B:

Endpoint-to-location mappings decouple service connectivity from physical topology. That is not sufficient here: Northbound APIs expose controller abstractions to higher-level orchestration or applications.

C:

JSON encodes objects and arrays in a machine-readable representation accepted by many REST APIs. That is not sufficient here: Northbound APIs expose controller abstractions to higher-level orchestration or applications.

Question 61

A change advisory for Lighthouse Medical has two requirements: (1) block only inbound Telnet to a server without blocking SSH, and (2) attach an IPv4 ACL to traffic entering an interface. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, deny TCP destination port 23 with the intended host match, and permit TCP 22 as required; then create username entries with the secret option and appropriate privilege.
  2. First, run periodic phishing-awareness training and simulated exercises; then apply ip access-group ACLNAME in on the selected interface.
  3. First, deny TCP destination port 23 with the intended host match, and permit TCP 22 as required; then apply ip access-group ACLNAME in on the selected interface.
  4. First, enable dynamic ARP inspection with valid bindings and trusted infrastructure links; then use DHCP snooping on the client VLAN.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) TCP port 23 identifies Telnet, while SSH normally uses TCP port 22. (2) The in direction checks arriving packets before routed forwarding toward their destination. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses avoid storing new local user credentials as plain text. IOS username secret stores a protected password hash rather than literal cleartext configuration. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses reduce employee susceptibility to credential phishing. User education helps people identify suspicious login requests and social-engineering cues. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Enable dynamic ARP inspection with valid bindings and trusted infrastructure links is for stop forged ARP replies claiming the default gateway IP on user access ports, and Use DHCP snooping on the client VLAN is for build an authoritative IP-to-MAC-to-port binding table from legitimate DHCP leases. DAI validates ARP address mappings against bindings or approved ARP ACLs. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 62

A branch design for Granite Works has two requirements: (1) have several servers share one IPv6 service address delivered to the nearest instance, and (2) form a modified EUI-64 interface identifier from a 48-bit MAC. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Use IPv6 anycast with routing toward the common address
  2. Classify 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255 as private
  3. Review the negotiated speed and the cable/PHY capabilities on both ends
  4. Insert FFFE and invert the universal/local bit at the defined location
  5. Issue no shutdown on the intended interface after checking change authority

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct for outcome (1): Anycast uses one unicast-format address on multiple nodes and routing selects a reachable instance. The other outcome needs its separate action.

D:

Correct for outcome (2): Modified EUI-64 expands the 48-bit MAC and flips the U/L bit to form a 64-bit identifier. It complements the first required control.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Not selected: Classify 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255 as private is for recognize an RFC1918 address in 172.16.0.0/12. Only 172.16/12 is private, not all addresses beginning 172. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

C:

Not selected: Review the negotiated speed and the cable/PHY capabilities on both ends is for check why two 1-Gbps endpoints link at only 100 Mbps. Autonegotiation and cabling quality can constrain the actual operating link speed. This is not one of the two required changes.

E:

Not selected: Issue no shutdown on the intended interface after checking change authority is for interpret an interface that is administratively down. Administratively down indicates a configuration state rather than proof of failed physical media. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

Question 63

An OSPF Ethernet broadcast segment already has an elected healthy DR and BDR. A new router with priority 200 and a higher router ID joins after the election, and all adjacencies remain stable. What should happen to the existing DR?

  1. The new router immediately becomes DR as soon as its first Hello with priority 200 arrives.
  2. The current DR normally remains in place; a newly joining higher-priority router does not preempt an already elected healthy DR.
  3. The existing DR must step down whenever a new router ID is numerically larger.
  4. All routers cease OSPF adjacency until the highest-priority newcomer is elected DR.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

OSPF DR/BDR elections are non-preemptive while established roles remain valid. New candidates do not force a disruptive reelection solely because their priority is higher.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A higher priority affects future eligible elections but does not automatically displace a healthy elected DR.

C:

Router ID tie-breaking does not create automatic preemption of an established DR.

D:

A normal join does not require network-wide loss of adjacency or a new DR election.

Question 64

R1 and R2 are both DROTHER routers on an OSPF broadcast Ethernet segment. Each also has a FULL adjacency with the elected DR and BDR. Their neighbor relationship to one another shows 2-WAY. Which conclusion best fits OSPF operation?

  1. This is expected for two DROTHER routers; they can remain 2-WAY with each other while exchanging full databases through the DR and BDR.
  2. Any OSPF 2-WAY state is an MTU mismatch and must be fixed by forcing mtu-ignore.
  3. The two DROTHER routers must each become DR before they can exchange routing information.
  4. Both routers are in different OSPF areas because their mutual adjacency is not FULL.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

On a broadcast segment, a DROTHER normally builds full adjacencies with the DR and BDR, not every other DROTHER. A peer in 2-WAY does not by itself indicate failed routing or a broken area.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A 2-WAY neighbor relation between two DROTHER routers is normal; MTU mismatch diagnosis applies to cases such as a neighbor stuck in EXSTART/EXCHANGE.

C:

A single DR and BDR are elected on the multiaccess segment; DROTHERs need not win that election.

D:

The case identifies one broadcast segment with valid FULL DR/BDR adjacencies; a normal DROTHER relationship alone does not imply area mismatch.

Question 65

A network upgrade at Oakbridge University has two requirements: (1) reduce the chance of an unintended access switch becoming STP root, and (2) recognize the root port of a non-root bridge. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, select the switch with the lowest priority plus MAC bridge identifier; then place access switchports in different VLANs.
  2. First, set the intended distribution switch's STP priority lower than competing bridges; then enable BPDU Guard on the PortFast edge port.
  3. First, set the intended distribution switch's STP priority lower than competing bridges; then choose the port with the lowest root-path cost after tie breakers.
  4. First, configure controller-supported link aggregation with the corresponding switch port-channel; then choose the port with the lowest root-path cost after tie breakers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) STP root election prefers the lowest bridge ID, so priority controls root placement. (2) Each non-root switch elects one best path toward the root bridge for a spanning-tree instance. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Select the switch with the lowest priority plus MAC bridge identifier is for identify the spanning-tree root switch from bridge IDs, and Place access switchports in different VLANs is for separate finance endpoints from engineering devices at Layer 2. STP elects the lowest bridge ID as the root for a spanning-tree instance. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses shut an edge port immediately if an unexpected switch BPDU arrives. BPDU Guard error-disables a protected edge port receiving a BPDU to prevent accidental loops. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses aggregate WLC uplinks for bandwidth and resilience. A compatible aggregated uplink spreads supported traffic across multiple physical links. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 66

An operations ticket for Stonebridge Learning has two requirements: (1) create a controller WLAN that uses WPA2-Personal for a lab SSID, and (2) protect confidentiality of management credentials in transit. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, use WPA3-Personal with compatible clients; then use switchport port-security violation shutdown.
  2. First, configure WPA2 PSK and a sufficiently strong passphrase in the WLC GUI; then use authenticated encryption on management protocols.
  3. First, deploy an approved remote-access VPN client and headend; then use authenticated encryption on management protocols.
  4. First, configure WPA2 PSK and a sufficiently strong passphrase in the WLC GUI; then use a standard ACL deny for that source IP followed by required permits.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) A WPA2 PSK WLAN authenticates clients through the configured shared secret. (2) Encryption prevents passive observation of session data while authentication limits impersonation. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use WPA3-Personal with compatible clients is for gain SAE-based password authentication on a modern wireless LAN, and Use switchport port-security violation shutdown is for disable a switchport after a port-security violation. WPA3-Personal uses SAE for password-authenticated key establishment. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses protect an individual remote employee connecting from public Wi-Fi. Remote access VPNs establish an encrypted session for an individual endpoint. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses deny one known infected source IP regardless of destination using a simple filter. Standard ACLs match IPv4 source addresses rather than destination ports. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 67

A branch design for North Quay Finance has two requirements: (1) improve account defense against guessed short passwords, and (2) protect a Wi-Fi network using AES-CCMP and a shared passphrase. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, apply sufficiently long unique passphrases with account protection; then apply unique credentials with a password manager and rotation policy.
  2. First, apply sufficiently long unique passphrases with account protection; then use WPA2-Personal where the WLAN/client support it.
  3. First, mark only the legitimate server-facing or relay uplink as DHCP snooping trusted; then use WPA2-Personal where the WLAN/client support it.
  4. First, apply the configured Layer 2 WPA2 settings to the WLAN profile; then use a standard ACL deny for that source IP followed by required permits.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Length, uniqueness and rate controls resist common password guessing attacks. (2) WPA2 uses robust AES-based link protection in common personal-mode deployments. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses reduce password reuse across device administrators. Unique secrets prevent one compromise from automatically exposing all devices. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses avoid allowing untrusted access ports to forward forged DHCP server responses. A trusted uplink assignment without global and VLAN DHCP snooping enablement does not itself block rogue server replies on user access ports. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Apply the configured Layer 2 WPA2 settings to the WLAN profile is for associate a wireless SSID with its intended security policy in WLC, and Use a standard ACL deny for that source IP followed by required permits is for deny one known infected source IP regardless of destination using a simple filter. The WLAN's Layer 2 security profile controls acceptable association cipher and key methods. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 68

Switches on one Rapid PVST+ VLAN instance advertise these bridge IDs: SW-1 (priority 28672, MAC 47da565fa4d0); SW-2 (priority 32768, MAC 65f9ad708588); SW-3 (priority 12288, MAC 5fc985725ab2); SW-4 (priority 4096, MAC 8e7a1201cc3d). They are powered on with no previous root. Which switch is the elected root?

  1. SW-2 (priority 32768, MAC 65f9ad708588)
  2. SW-1 (priority 28672, MAC 47da565fa4d0)
  3. SW-4 (priority 4096, MAC 8e7a1201cc3d)
  4. SW-3 (priority 12288, MAC 5fc985725ab2)

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

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.

B:

That explanation does not distinguish this option. “SW-1 (priority 28672, MAC 47da565fa4d0)” 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 12288, MAC 5fc985725ab2)” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.

Question 69

During a review, the administrator for Oakbridge University is asked to interpret a client renewing an existing DHCP lease. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Test SSH to the management IP and inspect VTY access restrictions
  2. Build a standard NAT ACL matching only approved inside-local addresses
  3. Expect the client to send DHCPREQUEST and receive DHCPACK on success
  4. Use show ip nat translations on the translating router

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A lease renewal requests continued use of the address from a DHCP server. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Remote SSH requires reachable management IP, active SSH service and permitted VTY authentication. That is not sufficient here: A lease renewal requests continued use of the address from a DHCP server.

B:

The NAT selection ACL decides which inside sources may be translated using the pool. That is not sufficient here: A lease renewal requests continued use of the address from a DHCP server.

D:

The NAT translation table lists original and translated addresses and ports for active entries. That is not sufficient here: A lease renewal requests continued use of the address from a DHCP server.

Question 70

A network upgrade at Pinecrest Schools has two requirements: (1) limit the blast radius of a faulty automation deployment, and (2) verify that a network automation run changed only intended fields. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, roll out changes to a small validated device group before fleet-wide execution; then separate property pairs with commas and quote property names.
  2. First, roll out changes to a small validated device group before fleet-wide execution; then use before-and-after state validation with explicit invariants.
  3. First, send an authenticated HTTP GET to the resource URI; then require validated evidence and human/network policy checks before execution.
  4. First, protect the Terraform state and its sensitive output values; then use before-and-after state validation with explicit invariants.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Staged automation reduces the number of devices affected by an unexpected template error. (2) Automated configuration still needs evidence that live devices match the authorized target. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses avoid a syntax error when a JSON object has several fields. JSON object syntax requires comma-separated key/value pairs and double-quoted keys. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Send an authenticated HTTP GET to the resource URI is for retrieve a network device's configuration using a REST endpoint, and Require validated evidence and human/network policy checks before execution is for avoid trusting an AI-recommended change without checking live configuration. GET retrieves the representation of a resource without intending to create it. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses understand why a Terraform state file needs secure handling. State can contain infrastructure identifiers and sensitive attributes used to track managed resources. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.
