Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 81

Question 800

A change request at Riverside Data following a scheduled maintenance window requires the team to enforce documented security rules across an organization. Which option directly addresses the stated need?

  1. Apply ip access-group ACLNAME in on the selected interface
  2. Publish clear policies and train staff on approved handling procedures
  3. Create username entries with the secret option and appropriate privilege
  4. Match the PSK configured on the WLAN and clients

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Security programs combine policy, awareness and repeatable operational practice. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The in direction checks arriving packets before routed forwarding toward their destination. That is not sufficient here: Security programs combine policy, awareness and repeatable operational practice.

C:

IOS username secret stores a protected password hash rather than literal cleartext configuration. That is not sufficient here: Security programs combine policy, awareness and repeatable operational practice.

D:

WPA2-Personal handshake succeeds only when both sides derive the same key material. That is not sufficient here: Security programs combine policy, awareness and repeatable operational practice.

Question 801

A router has an OSPF-learned route for 10.90.0.0/16 at distance 110. A static route for the exact same prefix is mistakenly entered with distance 100 and a reachable alternate next hop. What will happen?

  1. OSPF always wins because its metric is calculated dynamically.
  2. The two routes split packets equally because their prefixes match.
  3. The lower-distance static route is preferred, potentially diverting production traffic away from OSPF.
  4. Neither route can be used until a default route is added.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Administrative distance chooses the preferred source for a given destination prefix; a configured static distance of 100 wins over OSPF 110.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The protocols have different administrative distances; metrics do not override a lower-distance source for the same prefix.

B:

Unequal administrative distances do not cause equal-cost load balancing between sources.

D:

A valid, directly matching /16 route does not depend on a separate default route.

Question 802

North Quay Finance needs to generate a human-readable incident summary from multiple device logs. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Use predictive analytics or a learned forecasting model
  2. Use a generative AI assistant with verified source context
  3. Use JSON boolean true or false without quotation marks
  4. Send application/json with valid key-value object syntax

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Generative models produce natural-language explanations based on supplied events and evidence. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Predictive ML estimates future conditions from measured historical trends. That is not sufficient here: Generative models produce natural-language explanations based on supplied events and evidence.

C:

JSON has native boolean literals distinct from string values. That is not sufficient here: Generative models produce natural-language explanations based on supplied events and evidence.

D:

JSON encodes objects and arrays in a machine-readable representation accepted by many REST APIs. That is not sufficient here: Generative models produce natural-language explanations based on supplied events and evidence.

Question 803

A change request at Harborview Logistics during network acceptance testing requires the team to interpret a directly connected interface network versus remote learned network. Which option directly addresses the stated need?

  1. Use ipv6 route ::/0 with outgoing interface and link-local next hop
  2. Distinguish connected C entries from O or S routes
  3. Allow equal-cost multipath when the platform and configuration permit it
  4. Find the default 0.0.0.0/0 route and gateway of last resort

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Directly connected prefixes have an attached interface, while remote routes require a next hop or recursion. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The egress interface is required to disambiguate a link-local next-hop address. That is not sufficient here: Directly connected prefixes have an attached interface, while remote routes require a next hop or recursion.

C:

ECMP can install several equally preferred next hops to the same exact prefix. That is not sufficient here: Directly connected prefixes have an attached interface, while remote routes require a next hop or recursion.

D:

A default route handles destinations not covered by a more-specific installed route. That is not sufficient here: Directly connected prefixes have an attached interface, while remote routes require a next hop or recursion.

Question 804

Two bridges are attached to a shared VLAN segment. Both advertise the same root bridge, but switch A offers root-path cost 8 and switch B offers cost 20. Which switch should normally supply the segment’s designated port, assuming no better tie breaker is needed?

  1. Switch B, because a larger cost signals more available paths
  2. Switch A, because it advertises the lower cost path to the root on that segment.
  3. Both must forward as designated ports to maximize throughput
  4. Neither can be designated unless they share the same MAC address

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The designated port is associated with the best BPDU for the segment; lower root-path cost wins when both identify the same root.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Higher path cost is worse in spanning-tree BPDU comparison.

C:

Redundant designated forwarding can create a Layer 2 loop; the segment elects one best port.

D:

Different bridge identities are expected and participate in the election process.

Question 805

An operations ticket for Greenfield Services has two requirements: (1) interpret an interface that is administratively down, and (2) check why two 1-Gbps endpoints link at only 100 Mbps. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, issue no shutdown on the intended interface after checking change authority; then flood to other forwarding ports in that VLAN.
  2. First, recognize UDP's connectionless best-effort transport; then review the negotiated speed and the cable/PHY capabilities on both ends.
  3. First, enable a supported WPA2/WPA3 encrypted WLAN security policy; then inspect physical cabling, transceivers, and interface counters.
  4. First, issue no shutdown on the intended interface after checking change authority; then review the negotiated speed and the cable/PHY capabilities on both ends.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Administratively down indicates a configuration state rather than proof of failed physical media. (2) Autonegotiation and cabling quality can constrain the actual operating link speed. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses handle an unknown unicast destination received on one VLAN. Unknown unicast flooding is confined to the VLAN because the switch lacks a destination entry. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses explain the absence of congestion and delivery guarantees in a datagram protocol. UDP sends datagrams without TCP-style acknowledgments, sequencing or congestion recovery. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Enable a supported WPA2/WPA3 encrypted WLAN security policy is for protect wireless payloads from unauthenticated eavesdropping, and Inspect physical cabling, transceivers, and interface counters is for diagnose rising CRC/FCS errors on one access port. A protected WLAN uses authenticated key establishment and link encryption, not only SSID hiding. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 806

A change advisory for Baypoint Retail has two requirements: (1) block only inbound Telnet to a server without blocking SSH, and (2) protect a Wi-Fi network using AES-CCMP and a shared passphrase. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, apply the configured Layer 2 WPA2 settings to the WLAN profile; then use authenticated encryption on management protocols.
  2. First, use controlled site-to-site IPsec gateway tunnels; then use WPA2-Personal where the WLAN/client support it.
  3. First, deny TCP destination port 23 with the intended host match, and permit TCP 22 as required; then use WPA2-Personal where the WLAN/client support it.
  4. 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.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) TCP port 23 identifies Telnet, while SSH normally uses TCP port 22. (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: 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 authenticated encryption on management protocols is for protect confidentiality of management credentials in transit. The WLAN's Layer 2 security profile controls acceptable association cipher and key methods. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses choose a VPN topology for dozens of branches connecting two headquarters networks. Gateway-to-gateway VPNs connect entire protected subnets without requiring each host a remote-access client. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

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.

Question 807

A network upgrade at Hillcrest Utilities has two requirements: (1) avoid treating a software-defined controller as a replacement for physical forwarding links, and (2) contrast manually configured per-device control logic with controller-based management. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, use HTTP PATCH on a supporting REST resource; then use a controller to maintain centralized policy and abstract device configuration.
  2. First, keep the underlay network operational for packet transport; then compare collected device state against desired-state definitions.
  3. First, use controlled network automation with validated templates; then recognize HTTP status 201 Created where the API follows that convention.
  4. First, keep the underlay network operational for packet transport; then use a controller to maintain centralized policy and abstract device configuration.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Controller-based policies still rely on forwarding infrastructure and physical connectivity. (2) Controller-managed networking can coordinate policy across devices instead of requiring each device configured separately. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses modify selected configuration fields without replacing all others. PATCH applies a partial update to a resource under the API's defined semantics. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses detect configuration drift across a fleet after a planned rollout. Desired-state comparison reveals unexpected settings without making manual device-by-device assumptions. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use controlled network automation with validated templates is for reduce manual repeated VLAN configuration errors across many devices, and Recognize HTTP status 201 Created where the API follows that convention is for interpret a successful REST resource creation response. Automation applies repeatable tested configuration rather than relying on individually typed changes. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 808

A branch design for Sable Ridge Manufacturing has two requirements: (1) contrast manually configured per-device control logic with controller-based management, and (2) deliver controller policy to routers and switches using device-facing interfaces. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Issue HTTP DELETE with required authentication and authorization
  2. Use logical overlay endpoint mappings on a reachable underlay
  3. Use HTTP PUT where the API defines replacement semantics
  4. Use a southbound API or supported control protocol
  5. Use a controller to maintain centralized policy and abstract device configuration

Explanation

Correct Answers

D:

Correct for outcome (2): Southbound interfaces connect the network controller to forwarding infrastructure. It complements the first required control.

E:

Correct for outcome (1): Controller-managed networking can coordinate policy across devices instead of requiring each device configured separately. The other outcome needs its separate action.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Not selected: Issue HTTP DELETE with required authentication and authorization is for delete an authorized API resource by its URI. DELETE requests resource removal and must be permitted by the server's policy. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.

B:

Not selected: Use logical overlay endpoint mappings on a reachable underlay is for explain why fabric endpoint mobility can work without changing each physical trunk. Endpoint-to-location mappings decouple service connectivity from physical topology. This is not one of the two required changes.

C:

Not selected: Use HTTP PUT where the API defines replacement semantics is for replace an entire resource representation through a REST endpoint. PUT generally supplies a complete new representation of a target resource. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

Question 809

At Meridian Insurance, an engineer must understand the normal initial IPv4 DHCP address-acquisition exchange. Which option best addresses this requirement?

  1. Verify NAT inside/outside roles and route reachability
  2. Expect the client to send DHCPREQUEST and receive DHCPACK on success
  3. Recognize Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledge
  4. Recognize TFTP lacks encryption and authentication

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

DORA negotiates a leased IPv4 address and associated network options. 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: DORA negotiates a leased IPv4 address and associated network options.

B:

A lease renewal requests continued use of the address from a DHCP server. That is not sufficient here: DORA negotiates a leased IPv4 address and associated network options.

D:

TFTP's simplicity leaves transfers exposed without a separate secure transport boundary. That is not sufficient here: DORA negotiates a leased IPv4 address and associated network options.

Question 810

An acceptance check at Sable Ridge Manufacturing has two requirements: (1) find the next-hop IP for a learned destination prefix, and (2) interpret an L entry for a router's own IPv4 interface address. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Recognize a locally originated /32 host route
  2. Find the default 0.0.0.0/0 route and gateway of last resort
  3. Inspect the via next-hop field in show ip route
  4. Deliver it to the local protocol stack rather than remote routing
  5. Compare administrative distances of static 1 and OSPF 110

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct for outcome (2): Local routes identify IP addresses assigned to the router itself. It complements the first required control.

C:

Correct for outcome (1): The routing-table next hop identifies the neighbor to which packets should be forwarded. The other outcome needs its separate action.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Not selected: Find the default 0.0.0.0/0 route and gateway of last resort is for identify the route of last resort in an IPv4 routing table. A default route handles destinations not covered by a more-specific installed route. This is not one of the two required changes.

D:

Not selected: Deliver it to the local protocol stack rather than remote routing is for forward an IP packet arriving for the router's local interface address. A local host route represents the router's own address, not a remote network. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

E:

Not selected: Compare administrative distances of static 1 and OSPF 110 is for choose a static route over an OSPF route to the exact same prefix when both are valid. Administrative distance selects the preferred source of identical-prefix routes before comparing metrics. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.
