Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 70

Question 690

An RSTP switch port is in the Discarding state. Which statement describes its data-plane behavior during convergence?

  1. It forwards user frames but does not learn their MAC addresses
  2. It does not forward user frames and does not learn new source MAC addresses in this state.
  3. It learns source MAC addresses while forwarding none, just like RSTP Learning
  4. It becomes the designated root bridge merely because it is nonforwarding

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

RSTP Discarding replaces the older disabled, blocking and listening nonforwarding states. A port can process control information without ordinary data forwarding or MAC learning.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Forwarding requires the forwarding state; Discarding does not relay user frames.

C:

The separate Learning state learns addresses without forwarding; Discarding learns neither.

D:

A port state is not the device-wide root-bridge election identity.

Question 691

An operations ticket for Willowbrook Transit has two requirements: (1) verify active bindings assigned by a Cisco IOS DHCP server, and (2) let a router obtain its WAN IPv4 address from a provider DHCP server. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, use show ip dhcp binding; then apply traffic policing to the selected class.
  2. First, use show ip dhcp binding; then configure ip address dhcp on the WAN interface.
  3. First, recognize Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledge; then build a standard NAT ACL matching only approved inside-local addresses.
  4. First, configure dynamic inside source NAT using the permitted ACL and address pool; then configure ip address dhcp on the WAN interface.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) The binding table lists leased addresses and client identifiers for the IOS DHCP service. (2) A DHCP client interface requests leased IP parameters instead of using a fixed static address. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses enforce an ingress traffic rate by dropping or remarking excess packets. Policing measures a rate and takes an immediate conform/exceed action without ordinary shaping buffers. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Recognize Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledge is for understand the normal initial IPv4 DHCP address-acquisition exchange, and Build a standard NAT ACL matching only approved inside-local addresses is for restrict which source subnet is eligible for dynamic NAT. DORA negotiates a leased IPv4 address and associated network options. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses let several internal addresses consume a shared pool of public IPv4 addresses. Dynamic NAT allocates eligible public addresses from a configured pool to matching inside hosts. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 692

During a review, the administrator for Baypoint Retail is asked to limit failed login brute-force attempts against a device. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Configure login block-for with appropriate attempts and time windows
  2. Configure enable secret rather than a plain enable password
  3. Deploy an approved remote-access VPN client and headend
  4. Account for the implicit deny at the end of the ACL

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The IOS login block feature delays further attempts after repeated failed authentications. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Enable secret uses one-way storage appropriate for privileged-mode access. That is not sufficient here: The IOS login block feature delays further attempts after repeated failed authentications.

C:

Remote access VPNs establish an encrypted session for an individual endpoint. That is not sufficient here: The IOS login block feature delays further attempts after repeated failed authentications.

D:

ACL processing ends with an implicit deny when no preceding ACE matches. That is not sufficient here: The IOS login block feature delays further attempts after repeated failed authentications.

Question 693

A branch design for Eastbrook Labs has two requirements: (1) identify a wireless security mode using legacy TKIP and known weaknesses, and (2) protect a Wi-Fi network using AES-CCMP and a shared passphrase. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, add approved static ARP ACL validation entries or equivalent supported bindings; then use WPA2-Personal where the WLAN/client support it.
  2. First, use WPA3-Personal with compatible clients; then use authorization policies for the requested action.
  3. First, recognize WPA as older and prefer stronger supported alternatives; then use an extended ACL permit tcp with the server destination and eq 443.
  4. First, recognize WPA as older and prefer stronger supported alternatives; then use WPA2-Personal where the WLAN/client support it.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) WPA introduced improvements over WEP but its TKIP design is weaker than modern WPA2/WPA3. (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 second step covers (2), but the first addresses troubleshoot DAI dropping valid static-IP devices that lack DHCP bindings. DAI needs a trusted IP/MAC association for hosts without DHCP-snooping entries. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

B:

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 authorization policies for the requested action is for decide whether an authenticated user may issue a privileged configuration command. WPA3-Personal uses SAE for password-authenticated key establishment. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses permit only TCP port 443 to an internal HTTPS server. An extended ACL can distinguish HTTPS TCP traffic from other server ports. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 694

A change request at Hillcrest Utilities during network acceptance testing requires the team to verify members and state of a Cisco EtherChannel. Which response best meets this requirement?

  1. Inspect show cdp neighbors detail on an enabled link
  2. Disable CDP on that specific interface
  3. Use show etherchannel summary
  4. Use a supported monitor-mode AP

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The summary displays the port-channel group, protocol and member flags. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

CDP exchanges Cisco neighbor information at Layer 2, including platform and management identifiers. That is not sufficient here: The summary displays the port-channel group, protocol and member flags.

B:

Interface-level no cdp enable stops Cisco discovery advertisements on the selected port. That is not sufficient here: The summary displays the port-channel group, protocol and member flags.

D:

A monitor-mode radio can scan spectrum and clients for management/security without providing ordinary access. That is not sufficient here: The summary displays the port-channel group, protocol and member flags.

Question 695

An operations ticket for Copperline Studios has two requirements: (1) interpret an L entry for a router's own IPv4 interface address, and (2) set an OSPF router ID explicitly to avoid unexpected election. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, recognize a locally originated /32 host route; then configure router-id under the OSPF process and restart the process when required.
  2. First, compare OSPF interface priority, then router ID among eligible candidates; then use ipv6 route ::/0 with outgoing interface and link-local next hop.
  3. First, recognize a locally originated /32 host route; then use ip route 198.51.100.77 255.255.255.255 with a valid next hop.
  4. First, inspect show standby and active/standby states; then configure router-id under the OSPF process and restart the process when required.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Local routes identify IP addresses assigned to the router itself. (2) An explicitly configured 32-bit router ID has priority over automatic loopback/interface selection. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Neither step is the requested pair: Compare OSPF interface priority, then router ID among eligible candidates is for elect the designated router on a broadcast multiaccess segment, and Use ipv6 route ::/0 with outgoing interface and link-local next hop is for configure an IPv6 default route over a known link-local next hop. Broadcast OSPF uses a DR/BDR election based on configured priority and router-ID tie breaks. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses configure a static host route to one IPv4 server at 198.51.100.77. A /32 host route matches exactly one IPv4 destination. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

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 696

A network upgrade at Harborview Logistics has two requirements: (1) recognize that XML element tags are not valid JSON object syntax, and (2) identify the mapping between a JSON key and its associated value. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, use braces, brackets and string keys rather than XML tags; then use Ansible playbooks and modules with device groups.
  2. First, protect the Terraform state and its sensitive output values; then recognize an object property written as a quoted key followed by a colon.
  3. First, keep the underlay network operational for packet transport; then use a JSON array enclosed in square brackets.
  4. First, use braces, brackets and string keys rather than XML tags; then recognize an object property written as a quoted key followed by a colon.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) JSON objects and arrays have their own literal syntax distinct from XML markup. (2) JSON objects store named properties with string keys and supported value types. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses apply the same network configuration task across devices from an inventory file. Ansible inventories and playbooks run repeatable tasks across selected managed devices. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

B:

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.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Keep the underlay network operational for packet transport is for avoid treating a software-defined controller as a replacement for physical forwarding links, and Use a JSON array enclosed in square brackets is for represent an ordered collection of network interfaces in JSON. Controller-based policies still rely on forwarding infrastructure and physical connectivity. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 697

Pinecrest Schools needs to secure remote CLI login to a Cisco router over IP. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Verify NAT inside/outside roles and route reachability
  2. Configure NAT overload or PAT for the inside source
  3. Use TFTP in a trusted isolated management network
  4. Enable SSH using a hostname/domain, local user or AAA and VTY SSH transport

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

SSH encrypts remote terminal sessions and requires suitable keys and login configuration. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Correct source selection alone does not establish translation if interfaces and routing are misconfigured. That is not sufficient here: SSH encrypts remote terminal sessions and requires suitable keys and login configuration.

B:

PAT distinguishes simultaneous translations using TCP/UDP port identifiers as well as addresses. That is not sufficient here: SSH encrypts remote terminal sessions and requires suitable keys and login configuration.

C:

TFTP uses a minimal UDP transfer protocol without built-in authentication or encryption. That is not sufficient here: SSH encrypts remote terminal sessions and requires suitable keys and login configuration.

Question 698

Sable Ridge Manufacturing needs to size an IPv4 subnet for at least 50 ordinary host addresses. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Choose a /26 subnet with 62 usable addresses
  2. Use an IPv6 ping to the remote unicast endpoint
  3. Keep tenant interfaces and route entries in isolated VRFs
  4. Deploy an application server on a reachable network

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Six host bits yield 64 total addresses, generally 62 usable after network and broadcast. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

An IPv6 echo exchange validates reachability across the IPv6 forwarding path. That is not sufficient here: Six host bits yield 64 total addresses, generally 62 usable after network and broadcast.

C:

A route in one VRF is not automatically visible in another without an explicit leak or import. That is not sufficient here: Six host bits yield 64 total addresses, generally 62 usable after network and broadcast.

D:

A server offers shared application services while endpoint hosts initiate requests. That is not sufficient here: Six host bits yield 64 total addresses, generally 62 usable after network and broadcast.

Question 699

Willowbrook Transit needs to identify the broadcast identifier clients select to join a WLAN. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Enable a supported WPA2/WPA3 encrypted WLAN security policy
  2. Recognize a shared half-duplex Ethernet collision domain
  3. Use the service set identifier or SSID
  4. Use show mac address-table to inspect learned entries

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

An SSID is the logical wireless network name advertised or provisioned to clients. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A protected WLAN uses authenticated key establishment and link encryption, not only SSID hiding. That is not sufficient here: An SSID is the logical wireless network name advertised or provisioned to clients.

B:

A repeater repeats bits across hosts, so overlapping transmissions contend for the same medium. That is not sufficient here: An SSID is the logical wireless network name advertised or provisioned to clients.

D:

The MAC table lists forwarding entries indexed by destination MAC and VLAN. That is not sufficient here: An SSID is the logical wireless network name advertised or provisioned to clients.

Question 700

A change advisory for Oakbridge University has two requirements: (1) provide a service-facing way for an application to request network policy from a controller, and (2) deliver controller policy to routers and switches using device-facing interfaces. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, use HTTP POST according to the API contract; then use a southbound API or supported control protocol.
  2. First, use a northbound API; then use a JSON array enclosed in square brackets.
  3. First, use inventory to define hosts and playbook to define ordered tasks; then separate property pairs with commas and quote property names.
  4. First, use a northbound API; then use a southbound API or supported control protocol.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Northbound APIs expose controller abstractions to higher-level orchestration or applications. (2) Southbound interfaces connect the network controller to forwarding infrastructure. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses create a new resource through a REST API with a request body. POST commonly submits resource creation or actions with a payload. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses represent an ordered collection of network interfaces in JSON. JSON arrays contain ordered elements which can be objects, scalars or other arrays. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use inventory to define hosts and playbook to define ordered tasks is for distinguish an Ansible inventory from an Ansible playbook, and Separate property pairs with commas and quote property names is for avoid a syntax error when a JSON object has several fields. Inventory specifies managed endpoints while a playbook expresses operations to perform. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.
