Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 87

Question 860

During a review, the administrator for Oakbridge University is asked to avoid transmitting an administrator password in cleartext to a router CLI. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Remove it from the trunk allowed VLAN list
  2. Use SSH rather than Telnet
  3. Configure a supported WPA2-Personal PSK WLAN
  4. Consider FlexConnect operation on supported APs

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

SSH encrypts remote terminal data and authentication, whereas Telnet does not. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The allowed list determines which tagged VLANs may traverse the trunk. That is not sufficient here: SSH encrypts remote terminal data and authentication, whereas Telnet does not.

C:

WPA2-Personal authenticates users with the configured shared key, unlike enterprise 802.1X. That is not sufficient here: SSH encrypts remote terminal data and authentication, whereas Telnet does not.

D:

FlexConnect supports selected local switching and local survivability behavior in branch deployments. That is not sufficient here: SSH encrypts remote terminal data and authentication, whereas Telnet does not.

Question 861

Two routers now have matching IPv4 subnets, OSPF area IDs, authentication and timer settings. A change window requires proof that their neighbor database synchronization completed, not simply that each sent hello packets. Which operational evidence meets that test?

  1. The link LED is green and interface counters increase, with no OSPF command output.
  2. The peer appears in `show ip ospf neighbor` with state FULL and the expected neighbor router ID/interface.
  3. A ping succeeds to a static-management address, but the peer is absent from neighbor output.
  4. The router running-config contains `router ospf 10` even when its neighbor table is empty.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

FULL indicates the OSPF link-state database synchronization has completed for the intended adjacency. Merely receiving hellos or reaching 2-WAY does not prove full database exchange on a point-to-point link.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Layer 1/2 traffic alone cannot verify OSPF neighbor state or database synchronization.

C:

Generic reachability may use a non-OSPF path and does not demonstrate an OSPF FULL adjacency.

D:

A configured process is not operational proof of a synchronized neighbor.

Question 862

Stonebridge Learning needs to provide wireless client association to a wired enterprise LAN. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Classify 192.168/16 as private IPv4 space
  2. Use a router with interfaces or subinterfaces in both routed networks
  3. Configure an IPv6 address and 64-bit prefix with IPv6 routing enabled where required
  4. Deploy an access point connected to an appropriate switchport

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The AP bridges 802.11 client frames to the wired distribution system. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

192.168.0.0–192.168.255.255 is reserved for private addressing. That is not sufficient here: The AP bridges 802.11 client frames to the wired distribution system.

B:

Routing selects a next hop from a destination IP prefix instead of forwarding solely by MAC address. That is not sufficient here: The AP bridges 802.11 client frames to the wired distribution system.

C:

IPv6 interface addressing includes a prefix length and router forwarding needs IPv6 routing capability. That is not sufficient here: The AP bridges 802.11 client frames to the wired distribution system.

Question 863

A network upgrade at Hillcrest Utilities has two requirements: (1) reduce password reuse across device administrators, and (2) limit risk from a publicly disclosed software CVE on network gear. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, apply unique credentials with a password manager and rotation policy; then use controlled site-to-site IPsec gateway tunnels.
  2. First, apply unique credentials with a password manager and rotation policy; then install vendor-approved security patches or mitigations.
  3. First, use switchport port-security violation shutdown; then add an explicit permit for eligible remaining traffic.
  4. First, monitor traffic for reconnaissance patterns and apply edge controls; then install vendor-approved security patches or mitigations.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Unique secrets prevent one compromise from automatically exposing all devices. (2) Fixing or mitigating a known vulnerability reduces exploitability on exposed devices. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use switchport port-security violation shutdown is for disable a switchport after a port-security violation, and Add an explicit permit for eligible remaining traffic is for allow the rest of an ACL's traffic after a specific deny. The shutdown violation mode puts the protected interface into an error-disabled state on violation. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses detect active port scanning that precedes unwanted access attempts. Scanning probes service exposure and can be an early indicator of attempted intrusion. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 864

Hillcrest Utilities needs to avoid a blocked STP link unexpectedly forwarding after BPDUs disappear. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Configure switchport mode access and switchport access vlan 20
  2. Treat CDP and LLDP neighbors as directly connected Layer 2 evidence
  3. Configure VLAN SVIs with IP addresses and enable ip routing
  4. Enable Loop Guard on eligible non-designated spanning-tree links

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Loop Guard can hold a port in loop-inconsistent state when BPDUs cease unexpectedly. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

An access port sends and receives the configured user VLAN without a data VLAN tag to the ordinary endpoint. That is not sufficient here: Loop Guard can hold a port in loop-inconsistent state when BPDUs cease unexpectedly.

B:

Discovery advertisements do not prove that an IP route exists or that remote hosts are reachable. That is not sufficient here: Loop Guard can hold a port in loop-inconsistent state when BPDUs cease unexpectedly.

C:

Layer 3 forwarding across VLANs requires an active routed interface for each subnet. That is not sufficient here: Loop Guard can hold a port in loop-inconsistent state when BPDUs cease unexpectedly.

Question 865

An acceptance check at Stonebridge Learning has two requirements: (1) explain why a strong received signal can still produce poor WLAN throughput, and (2) create equal /27 subnets from a /24. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, add or update the source MAC and VLAN entry on the receiving interface; then make both link ends negotiate or explicitly agree on matching duplex.
  2. First, investigate channel interference and signal-to-noise ratio; then split the /24 into eight blocks of 32 addresses.
  3. First, investigate channel interference and signal-to-noise ratio; then use scutil --dns on macOS.
  4. First, use separate virtual routing and forwarding instances; then split the /24 into eight blocks of 32 addresses.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) RF quality and contention affect effective throughput beyond signal strength alone. (2) Borrowing three host bits creates eight /27 subnets, each normally offering 30 usable hosts. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Add or update the source MAC and VLAN entry on the receiving interface is for learn which switch port owns a newly seen source MAC, and Make both link ends negotiate or explicitly agree on matching duplex is for resolve an Ethernet link showing late collisions and duplex inconsistency. A learning switch updates its CAM table from the incoming frame's source address. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses inspect DNS resolver settings on a macOS client. scutil --dns reports the active macOS DNS resolver configuration. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses hold independent overlapping IP route tables on one router. VRFs logically isolate routing tables even when interfaces share one physical platform. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 866

An acceptance check at Pinecrest Schools has two requirements: (1) identify which router becomes the OSPF DR among two equal-priority routers, and (2) avoid confusing OSPF routing cost with administrative distance. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, use an installed 0.0.0.0/0 default route; then use ip route 10.40.8.0 255.255.254.0 with the valid next hop.
  2. First, compare their configured router IDs; then give the backup static route AD higher than OSPF's 110.
  3. First, compare their configured router IDs; then use OSPF interface path cost for SPF path choice and AD for source preference.
  4. First, look for a route marked O in the IPv4 route table; then use OSPF interface path cost for SPF path choice and AD for source preference.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Higher router ID wins the DR election priority tie when both are otherwise eligible. (2) OSPF metric selects routes within OSPF, while AD selects between separate routing sources. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use an installed 0.0.0.0/0 default route is for route an unknown destination when no more-specific route is present, and Use ip route 10.40.8.0 255.255.254.0 with the valid next hop is for install a network static route to 10.40.8.0/23. The default matches any IPv4 destination not better matched by another prefix. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses provide a static backup only if an OSPF route to the same prefix disappears. A floating static route loses normally but is installed when the preferred OSPF route is withdrawn. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses recognize a route learned through single-area OSPF in the routing table. Cisco IOS uses an O routing protocol code for ordinary OSPF intra-area routes. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 867

A network upgrade at Oakbridge University has two requirements: (1) verify whether a router has selected a valid NTP peer, and (2) prioritize voice packets during transient interface congestion. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, configure an eligible NTP master or approved local reference; then use a bounded low-latency priority queue for the voice class.
  2. First, inspect show ntp associations and show ntp status; then use a bounded low-latency priority queue for the voice class.
  3. First, configure a static inside source NAT mapping; then recognize the manager queries devices and agents expose managed variables.
  4. First, inspect show ntp associations and show ntp status; then apply traffic shaping to buffer and pace excess packets.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) NTP status shows synchronization state, peers and stratum information. (2) Priority queuing reduces delay and jitter for latency-sensitive traffic if policed appropriately. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses provide time to downstream clients from a locally chosen reference when isolated. A local time source can serve NTP within an isolated network, subject to synchronization policy. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Configure a static inside source NAT mapping is for translate one inside server IP to a fixed public IPv4 address, and Recognize the manager queries devices and agents expose managed variables is for distinguish an SNMP manager from an agent. Static NAT creates a persistent one-to-one inside-local to inside-global translation. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses smooth a bursty outbound application below a contracted rate. Shaping delays packets to meet an average rate rather than immediately dropping all excess. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 868

An acceptance check at Copperline Studios has two requirements: (1) distinguish tagged VLAN 30 traffic from untagged native VLAN traffic on an 802.1Q trunk, and (2) carry multiple VLANs between distribution and access switches. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, configure controller-supported link aggregation with the corresponding switch port-channel; then configure a trunk using 802.1Q with needed allowed VLANs.
  2. First, recognize the 802.1Q VLAN ID in tagged Ethernet frames; then configure a trunk using 802.1Q with needed allowed VLANs.
  3. First, recognize the 802.1Q VLAN ID in tagged Ethernet frames; then use an appropriate TACACS+ AAA design.
  4. First, use show etherchannel summary; then run show vlan brief on the access switch.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) The VLAN identifier in the 802.1Q header preserves VLAN separation across shared trunks. (2) An 802.1Q trunk tags most VLAN frames so several VLANs can share one interswitch link. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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.

C:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses centrally authenticate network device administrators and separately account for command authorization. TACACS+ supports granular device administration authorization and accounting through AAA. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use show etherchannel summary is for verify members and state of a Cisco EtherChannel, and Run show vlan brief on the access switch is for verify that a desktop interface belongs to the intended VLAN. The summary displays the port-channel group, protocol and member flags. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 869

A network upgrade at Meridian Insurance has two requirements: (1) stop Telnet access on router VTY lines, and (2) generate credentials used by an IOS SSH server. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, configure transport input ssh on the intended VTY lines; then expect the client to send DHCPREQUEST and receive DHCPACK on success.
  2. First, configure transport input ssh on the intended VTY lines; then generate appropriate RSA or supported SSH host keys.
  3. First, use DNS A record lookup; then use an FTP server where that protocol is the specified management option.
  4. First, configure an eligible NTP master or approved local reference; then generate appropriate RSA or supported SSH host keys.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Restricting VTY transport to SSH prevents cleartext Telnet management access. (2) SSH server authentication depends on a usable host key rather than only configuring a VTY password. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses interpret a client renewing an existing DHCP lease. A lease renewal requests continued use of the address from a DHCP server. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use DNS A record lookup is for identify the protocol that maps a host name to an IPv4 address, and Use an FTP server where that protocol is the specified management option is for transfer a network image using authenticated file service credentials. DNS maps names to addresses, while DHCP leases IP settings and does not replace DNS. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses provide time to downstream clients from a locally chosen reference when isolated. A local time source can serve NTP within an isolated network, subject to synchronization policy. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 870

A branch design for Oakbridge University has two requirements: (1) carry multiple tagged WLAN VLANs to a locally switching AP, and (2) aggregate WLC uplinks for bandwidth and resilience. Select TWO actions that together satisfy both outcomes.

  1. Configure controller-supported link aggregation with the corresponding switch port-channel
  2. Configure the switchport data access VLAN and switchport voice VLAN
  3. Use the approved 802.1Q trunk configuration when the AP model/mode requires it
  4. Remove it from the trunk allowed VLAN list
  5. Recognize the 802.1Q VLAN ID in tagged Ethernet frames

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct for outcome (2): A compatible aggregated uplink spreads supported traffic across multiple physical links. It complements the first required control.

C:

Correct for outcome (1): Local-switching designs may place multiple client VLANs on the AP's wired uplink. The other outcome needs its separate action.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Not selected: Configure the switchport data access VLAN and switchport voice VLAN is for connect an IP phone and attached PC using distinct voice and data VLANs. A voice VLAN allows supported phones to tag voice traffic separately while forwarding the PC's data VLAN. This is not one of the two required changes.

D:

Not selected: Remove it from the trunk allowed VLAN list is for prevent an unused VLAN from crossing a trunk link. The allowed list determines which tagged VLANs may traverse the trunk. This is outside the two requested outcomes.

E:

Not selected: Recognize the 802.1Q VLAN ID in tagged Ethernet frames is for distinguish tagged VLAN 30 traffic from untagged native VLAN traffic on an 802.1Q trunk. The VLAN identifier in the 802.1Q header preserves VLAN separation across shared trunks. This does not provide either of the two specified controls.
