Question 940

A network upgrade at Stonebridge Learning has two requirements: (1) create a new resource through a REST API with a request body, and (2) apply the same network configuration task across devices from an inventory file. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?

  1. First, use HTTP POST according to the API contract; then use Ansible playbooks and modules with device groups.
  2. First, recognize HTTP status 201 Created where the API follows that convention; then use Ansible playbooks and modules with device groups.
  3. First, compare collected device state against desired-state definitions; then send an authenticated HTTP GET to the resource URI.
  4. First, use HTTP POST according to the API contract; then store automation definitions under version control with deployment records.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) POST commonly submits resource creation or actions with a payload. (2) Ansible inventories and playbooks run repeatable tasks across selected managed devices. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses interpret a successful REST resource creation response. HTTP 201 indicates a resource was created, often with a Location header. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Compare collected device state against desired-state definitions is for detect configuration drift across a fleet after a planned rollout, and Send an authenticated HTTP GET to the resource URI is for retrieve a network device's configuration using a REST endpoint. Desired-state comparison reveals unexpected settings without making manual device-by-device assumptions. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses avoid losing traceability when automation changes routing policy. Versioned automation allows change review, reproducible rollout and rollback. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 941

During a review, the administrator for Stonebridge Learning is asked to choose a /27 destination route over a matching /24 route. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Deliver it to the local protocol stack rather than remote routing
  2. Use OSPF interface path cost for SPF path choice and AD for source preference
  3. Read the first bracketed value as administrative distance and the second as metric
  4. Apply the longest-prefix-match forwarding rule

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Among matching prefixes, the route with the most significant matched bits wins forwarding. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A local host route represents the router's own address, not a remote network. That is not sufficient here: Among matching prefixes, the route with the most significant matched bits wins forwarding.

B:

OSPF metric selects routes within OSPF, while AD selects between separate routing sources. That is not sufficient here: Among matching prefixes, the route with the most significant matched bits wins forwarding.

C:

IOS route display commonly uses [administrative distance/metric] following the route code. That is not sufficient here: Among matching prefixes, the route with the most significant matched bits wins forwarding.

Question 942

A non-root bridge receives otherwise equal Rapid PVST+ BPDUs on four uplinks. Its total root costs are Gi1/0/1 (root path cost 9469); Gi1/0/2 (root path cost 14261); Gi1/0/3 (root path cost 11742); Gi1/0/4 (root path cost 5779). Which uplink is the root port?

  1. Gi1/0/1 (root path cost 9469)
  2. Gi1/0/2 (root path cost 14261)
  3. Gi1/0/4 (root path cost 5779)
  4. Gi1/0/3 (root path cost 11742)

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The root port is the eligible interface advertising the smallest accumulated path cost, 5779; other tie-breakers are unnecessary.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Its root path cost is greater than 5779, so that interface does not win the root-port election.

B:

That explanation does not distinguish this option. “Gi1/0/2 (root path cost 14261)” 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. “Gi1/0/3 (root path cost 11742)” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.

Question 943

A change advisory for Pinecrest Schools has two requirements: (1) retain two equal-cost eligible OSPF routes for one prefix, and (2) elect the designated router on a broadcast multiaccess segment. Which option meets both stated needs?

  1. First, investigate interface MTU mismatch and adjacency parameters; then find the default 0.0.0.0/0 route and gateway of last resort.
  2. First, compare AD for identical prefixes before protocol-specific metrics; then compare OSPF interface priority, then router ID among eligible candidates.
  3. First, allow equal-cost multipath when the platform and configuration permit it; then compare OSPF interface priority, then router ID among eligible candidates.
  4. First, allow equal-cost multipath when the platform and configuration permit it; then deliver it to the local protocol stack rather than remote routing.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) ECMP can install several equally preferred next hops to the same exact prefix. (2) Broadcast OSPF uses a DR/BDR election based on configured priority and router-ID tie breaks. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neither step is the requested pair: Investigate interface MTU mismatch and adjacency parameters is for explain why two OSPF routers remain stuck in EXSTART, and 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. OSPF database description negotiation can fail when peers disagree on MTU. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

B:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses avoid comparing routing protocol metrics across unrelated protocols. OSPF and EIGRP metrics are not directly comparable scales across protocols. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

D:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses 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. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

Question 944

Granite Works needs to interpret a numeric interface speed in a JSON response. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Use HTTP PATCH on a supporting REST resource
  2. Use a northbound API
  3. Use a JSON number without quotation marks when the schema expects a number
  4. Require validated evidence and human/network policy checks before execution

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

JSON numbers encode numeric data rather than text requiring parsing. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

PATCH applies a partial update to a resource under the API's defined semantics. That is not sufficient here: JSON numbers encode numeric data rather than text requiring parsing.

B:

Northbound APIs expose controller abstractions to higher-level orchestration or applications. That is not sufficient here: JSON numbers encode numeric data rather than text requiring parsing.

D:

AI suggestions are fallible and should not bypass deterministic authorization or operational verification. That is not sufficient here: JSON numbers encode numeric data rather than text requiring parsing.

Question 945

Summit Research needs to learn which switch port owns a newly seen source MAC. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?

  1. Use a collapsed-core two-tier campus design
  2. Validate gateway and host network portions under the configured mask
  3. Add or update the source MAC and VLAN entry on the receiving interface
  4. Make both link ends negotiate or explicitly agree on matching duplex

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A learning switch updates its CAM table from the incoming frame's source address. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The access layer connects endpoints while the collapsed core aggregates access and provides routing. That is not sufficient here: A learning switch updates its CAM table from the incoming frame's source address.

B:

A directly reachable default gateway normally needs an on-link address in the host's subnet. That is not sufficient here: A learning switch updates its CAM table from the incoming frame's source address.

D:

A full/half duplex mismatch creates errors and poor performance even if the link stays up. That is not sufficient here: A learning switch updates its CAM table from the incoming frame's source address.

Question 946

A branch design for Willowbrook Transit has two requirements: (1) understand why a Terraform state file needs secure handling, and (2) check what Terraform intends to change before deploying. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, protect the Terraform state and its sensitive output values; then compare collected device state against desired-state definitions.
  2. First, protect the Terraform state and its sensitive output values; then run terraform plan and review its proposed actions.
  3. First, send application/json with valid key-value object syntax; then recognize the software-defined network fabric architecture.
  4. First, send an authenticated HTTP GET to the resource URI; then run terraform plan and review its proposed actions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) State can contain infrastructure identifiers and sensitive attributes used to track managed resources. (2) The plan reports resource changes without applying them to production. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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: Send application/json with valid key-value object syntax is for pass JSON data to a REST API endpoint, and Recognize the software-defined network fabric architecture is for name the combination of underlay, overlay, and policy/control services. JSON encodes objects and arrays in a machine-readable representation accepted by many REST APIs. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

The second step covers (2), but the first addresses retrieve a network device's configuration using a REST endpoint. GET retrieves the representation of a resource without intending to create it. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.

Question 947

During a review, the administrator for Summit Research is asked to explain why two redundant routers alone do not automatically preserve the clients' default gateway. Which approach satisfies the precise requirement?

  1. Compare OSPF path metrics for the eligible equal-distance protocol routes
  2. Distinguish connected C entries from O or S routes
  3. Use ip route 198.51.100.77 255.255.255.255 with a valid next hop
  4. Configure an FHRP such as HSRP or VRRP on the gateway VLAN

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Without a virtual gateway mechanism, loss of the configured single default gateway can strand clients. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Within one protocol and destination prefix the protocol metric selects preferred path cost. That is not sufficient here: Without a virtual gateway mechanism, loss of the configured single default gateway can strand clients.

B:

Directly connected prefixes have an attached interface, while remote routes require a next hop or recursion. That is not sufficient here: Without a virtual gateway mechanism, loss of the configured single default gateway can strand clients.

C:

A /32 host route matches exactly one IPv4 destination. That is not sufficient here: Without a virtual gateway mechanism, loss of the configured single default gateway can strand clients.

Question 948

A change request at Willowbrook Transit in a ticket for a new campus wing requires the team to distinguish one-to-one static NAT from many-to-one overload. What response best fits this requirement?

  1. Use NTP on network devices and log servers
  2. Use a bounded low-latency priority queue for the voice class
  3. Check whether mappings preserve one fixed global per local host or reuse ports
  4. Correct the DHCP DNS option or local resolver setting

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Static mapping binds an address, while overload multiplexes sessions through port translation. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A common time reference makes event correlation meaningful across independently clocked devices. That is not sufficient here: Static mapping binds an address, while overload multiplexes sessions through port translation.

B:

Priority queuing reduces delay and jitter for latency-sensitive traffic if policed appropriately. That is not sufficient here: Static mapping binds an address, while overload multiplexes sessions through port translation.

D:

IP connectivity can work while name resolution fails because resolver configuration is wrong. That is not sufficient here: Static mapping binds an address, while overload multiplexes sessions through port translation.

Question 949

An acceptance check at Willowbrook Transit has two requirements: (1) retrieve a network device's configuration using a REST endpoint, and (2) create a new resource through a REST API with a request body. Which option addresses both requirements?

  1. First, send an authenticated HTTP GET to the resource URI; then use HTTP POST according to the API contract.
  2. First, send an authenticated HTTP GET to the resource URI; then run terraform plan and review its proposed actions.
  3. First, protect the Terraform state and its sensitive output values; then use HTTP POST according to the API contract.
  4. First, recognize HTTP 401 Unauthorized and inspect credentials; then use HTTP PATCH on a supporting REST resource.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) GET retrieves the representation of a resource without intending to create it. (2) POST commonly submits resource creation or actions with a payload. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses check what Terraform intends to change before deploying. The plan reports resource changes without applying them to production. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

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.

D:

Neither step is the requested pair: Recognize HTTP 401 Unauthorized and inspect credentials is for identify a REST response indicating the caller lacks valid authentication, and Use HTTP PATCH on a supporting REST resource is for modify selected configuration fields without replacing all others. 401 commonly indicates absent/invalid authentication, while 403 often signals insufficient authorization. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

Question 950

An operations ticket for Cascade Health has two requirements: (1) apply the same network configuration task across devices from an inventory file, and (2) provision cloud or network infrastructure from a declarative plan. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?

  1. First, use Ansible playbooks and modules with device groups; then use Terraform configuration and a reviewed plan/apply workflow.
  2. First, use Ansible playbooks and modules with device groups; then recognize consistent policy deployment through a central controller.
  3. First, use anomaly detection with representative training or baseline data; then separate property pairs with commas and quote property names.
  4. First, use controlled network automation with validated templates; then use Terraform configuration and a reviewed plan/apply workflow.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Both outcomes are covered: (1) Ansible inventories and playbooks run repeatable tasks across selected managed devices. (2) Terraform models desired infrastructure resources and computes changes before applying them. Neither action is a substitute for the other.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The first step covers (1), but the second addresses identify one benefit of controller-based networks over traditional manual operations. A controller can translate intent into coordinated device settings across a network. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.

C:

Neither step is the requested pair: Use anomaly detection with representative training or baseline data is for detect anomalous device behavior from a baseline of normal traffic, and Separate property pairs with commas and quote property names is for avoid a syntax error when a JSON object has several fields. Anomaly detection identifies departures from learned normal patterns for investigation. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.

D:

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