Question 60

A distribution switch applies an ingress ACL to a routed SVI, but administrators expect it to block frames bridged only inside the same VLAN. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?

  1. Enable and correctly operate IGMP snooping with a reachable querier for the VLAN.
  2. Choose the supported policy enforcement point for Layer 2 traffic instead of relying on an SVI routed ACL alone.
  3. Configure the relay destination and source within the correct VLAN and VRF reachability context.
  4. Set a mutually supported MTU end-to-end on participating interfaces, validating hardware limits.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The underlying issue is that an L3 SVI ACL may not inspect traffic that never traverses that routed interface. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: the blocked same-VLAN flow fails while explicitly permitted traffic continues.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a multicast video stream floods every port in a VLAN after an IGMP snooping feature is disabled. The reported fault instead arises because an L3 SVI ACL may not inspect traffic that never traverses that routed interface.

C:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a client subnet uses an on-box DHCP relay but its requests never reach the centralized server after a VRF split. The reported fault instead arises because an L3 SVI ACL may not inspect traffic that never traverses that routed interface.

D:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a service requires large Ethernet payloads, but a path across several CX switches drops only oversized frames. The reported fault instead arises because an L3 SVI ACL may not inspect traffic that never traverses that routed interface.

Question 61

A client subnet uses an on-box DHCP relay but its requests never reach the centralized server after a VRF split. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?

  1. Match native and tagged VLAN behavior on the trunk's two endpoints.
  2. Trust only the authorized DHCP server-facing path and retain untrusted client access ports.
  3. Restore the authorized member port and the VLAN's operational state.
  4. Configure the relay destination and source within the correct VLAN and VRF reachability context.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The underlying issue is that the relay packet cannot reach the approved DHCP server from its chosen forwarding table. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: clients acquire correct leases through the approved relay path.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when an 802.1Q trunk carries VLAN 20 untagged on one end and tagged on the other, causing intermittent DHCP placement. The reported fault instead arises because the relay packet cannot reach the approved DHCP server from its chosen forwarding table.

B:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a switch is configured with DHCP snooping, but legitimate lease offers arriving from the authorized DHCP uplink are dropped. The reported fault instead arises because the relay packet cannot reach the approved DHCP server from its chosen forwarding table.

C:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a CX switch has a healthy SVI but hosts cannot reach the directly connected gateway because the VLAN has no active member ports. The reported fault instead arises because the relay packet cannot reach the approved DHCP server from its chosen forwarding table.

Question 62

A switch trunk's CRC error counters climb while application traffic degrades after a fiber transceiver change. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?

  1. Use an approved routed discovery relay or application gateway rather than merging the VLANs without review.
  2. Replace or align the unsupported optic/cable and verify physical-layer compatibility.
  3. Move the port to the approved finance VLAN and ensure the correct SVI and DHCP scope are used.
  4. Apply DHCP snooping with trusted infrastructure ports and untrusted user edges.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The underlying issue is that CRC errors indicate physical frame corruption rather than a VLAN-routing configuration error. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: frame integrity counters remain clean under the expected utilization level.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a classroom endpoint cannot see a local broadcast discovery service across two isolated VLANs. The reported fault instead arises because CRC errors indicate physical frame corruption rather than a VLAN-routing configuration error.

C:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a new finance printer is connected to an access port in VLAN 130, but the subnet gateway is an SVI in VLAN 120. The reported fault instead arises because CRC errors indicate physical frame corruption rather than a VLAN-routing configuration error.

D:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a rogue small office router begins answering DHCP on an open desk port. The reported fault instead arises because CRC errors indicate physical frame corruption rather than a VLAN-routing configuration error.

Question 63

A LAG uses a hash selection that causes one large storage flow to occupy a single member while other links remain mostly idle. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?

  1. Configure the relay destination and source within the correct VLAN and VRF reachability context.
  2. Apply DHCP snooping with trusted infrastructure ports and untrusted user edges.
  3. Use IP source lockdown or an equivalent supported binding-enforcement control with correctly learned or approved bindings.
  4. Explain per-flow hashing behavior and distribute independent flows rather than assuming one flow is striped packet-by-packet.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The underlying issue is that conventional Ethernet LAG hashing normally keeps a single flow on one member to preserve ordering. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: aggregate throughput improves with multiple distributed flows without packet reordering.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a client subnet uses an on-box DHCP relay but its requests never reach the centralized server after a VRF split. The reported fault instead arises because conventional Ethernet LAG hashing normally keeps a single flow on one member to preserve ordering.

B:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a rogue small office router begins answering DHCP on an open desk port. The reported fault instead arises because conventional Ethernet LAG hashing normally keeps a single flow on one member to preserve ordering.

C:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when an access network requires prevention of forged source-IP traffic from endpoints with stolen static addresses. The reported fault instead arises because conventional Ethernet LAG hashing normally keeps a single flow on one member to preserve ordering.

Question 64

A security requirement calls for isolating two guest groups inside one SSID, but both groups land in an unrestricted shared VLAN. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?

  1. Align the MST region name, revision and VLAN-to-instance mapping across the intended region.
  2. Install the authorized IPv6 route in the management VRF and verify protocol reachability.
  3. Implement supported user-role or microsegmentation policy based on the authenticated identity or client class.
  4. Restrict the trunk's allowed VLAN list to the management and WLAN client VLANs actually required.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The underlying issue is that sharing an SSID or VLAN does not by itself enforce group-level east-west restrictions. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: the two groups access allowed services but cannot reach prohibited peers.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a newly enabled MSTP configuration blocks the wrong uplink because two switches assign VLANs to inconsistent instances. The reported fault instead arises because sharing an SSID or VLAN does not by itself enforce group-level east-west restrictions.

B:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a management interface is configured with an IPv6 address, but SNMPv3 traffic never leaves because its selected management VRF lacks an IPv6 default route. The reported fault instead arises because sharing an SSID or VLAN does not by itself enforce group-level east-west restrictions.

D:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when an AP trunk has every VLAN enabled, allowing guest client traffic onto a restricted internal network. The reported fault instead arises because sharing an SSID or VLAN does not by itself enforce group-level east-west restrictions.

Question 65

A management interface is configured with an IPv6 address, but SNMPv3 traffic never leaves because its selected management VRF lacks an IPv6 default route. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?

  1. Configure an approved tagged trunk with precisely the tenant VLANs required.
  2. Update or remove the obsolete static forwarding entry using the approved relocation process.
  3. Install the authorized IPv6 route in the management VRF and verify protocol reachability.
  4. Restore a supported loop-free topology with RSTP or an approved equivalent redundancy design.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The underlying issue is that the management routing table has no IPv6 path to the collector. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: SNMPv3 exchanges reach the collector over IPv6 with expected credentials and source.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a switch port connected to a hypervisor must carry three isolated tenant VLANs, but it is left in access mode. The reported fault instead arises because the management routing table has no IPv6 path to the collector.

B:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a campus uses static MAC entries for critical systems, but after an authorized server relocation traffic still forwards to the old port. The reported fault instead arises because the management routing table has no IPv6 path to the collector.

D:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a campus administrator disables STP globally to reduce convergence time, and a redundant link introduces a broadcast storm. The reported fault instead arises because the management routing table has no IPv6 path to the collector.

Question 66

An access switch shows a large unknown-unicast flood after several upstream MAC addresses aged out too quickly. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?

  1. Use an approved routed discovery relay or application gateway rather than merging the VLANs without review.
  2. Align the MST region name, revision and VLAN-to-instance mapping across the intended region.
  3. Remove the conflicting address and deploy a supported unique or shared virtual gateway design.
  4. Correct the approved MAC aging policy and investigate missing refresh traffic before broad flooding exceptions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The underlying issue is that aged-out destinations cause Layer 2 unknown-unicast flooding until relearned. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: known destinations are learned and normal unicast forwarding uses expected egress ports.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a classroom endpoint cannot see a local broadcast discovery service across two isolated VLANs. The reported fault instead arises because aged-out destinations cause Layer 2 unknown-unicast flooding until relearned.

B:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a newly enabled MSTP configuration blocks the wrong uplink because two switches assign VLANs to inconsistent instances. The reported fault instead arises because aged-out destinations cause Layer 2 unknown-unicast flooding until relearned.

C:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when an engineer configures a VLAN SVI for default gateway service but accidentally assigns the same IPv4 address to another independent router without VRRP or active-gateway design. The reported fault instead arises because aged-out destinations cause Layer 2 unknown-unicast flooding until relearned.

Question 67

A VSX downstream switch has an active multi-chassis LAG, but the primary and secondary peers disagree on the permitted client VLANs. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?

  1. Use a supported ARP validation or source-binding control appropriate for the platform and VLAN.
  2. Configure an approved tagged trunk with precisely the tenant VLANs required.
  3. Synchronize or align the VSX multi-chassis LAG VLAN configuration on both peers.
  4. Remove the conflicting address and deploy a supported unique or shared virtual gateway design.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The underlying issue is that inconsistent peer-side LAG settings can create asymmetric forwarding after failover. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: the same permitted VLAN set reaches the downstream device via either peer.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a campus needs to reduce ARP spoofing from open lab ports, yet engineers plan to permit all ARP replies. The reported fault instead arises because inconsistent peer-side LAG settings can create asymmetric forwarding after failover.

B:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a switch port connected to a hypervisor must carry three isolated tenant VLANs, but it is left in access mode. The reported fault instead arises because inconsistent peer-side LAG settings can create asymmetric forwarding after failover.

D:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when an engineer configures a VLAN SVI for default gateway service but accidentally assigns the same IPv4 address to another independent router without VRRP or active-gateway design. The reported fault instead arises because inconsistent peer-side LAG settings can create asymmetric forwarding after failover.

Question 68

An engineer configures a VLAN SVI for default gateway service but accidentally assigns the same IPv4 address to another independent router without VRRP or active-gateway design. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?

  1. Configure an approved tagged trunk with precisely the tenant VLANs required.
  2. Match native and tagged VLAN behavior on the trunk's two endpoints.
  3. Remove the conflicting address and deploy a supported unique or shared virtual gateway design.
  4. Use a supported ARP validation or source-binding control appropriate for the platform and VLAN.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The underlying issue is that duplicated unmanaged gateway IP ownership causes ARP instability and conflicting replies. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: hosts resolve one intended gateway identity and maintain stable forwarding.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a switch port connected to a hypervisor must carry three isolated tenant VLANs, but it is left in access mode. The reported fault instead arises because duplicated unmanaged gateway IP ownership causes ARP instability and conflicting replies.

B:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when an 802.1Q trunk carries VLAN 20 untagged on one end and tagged on the other, causing intermittent DHCP placement. The reported fault instead arises because duplicated unmanaged gateway IP ownership causes ARP instability and conflicting replies.

D:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a campus needs to reduce ARP spoofing from open lab ports, yet engineers plan to permit all ARP replies. The reported fault instead arises because duplicated unmanaged gateway IP ownership causes ARP instability and conflicting replies.

Question 69

A hospital's staff WLAN has strong signal near APs but frequent retries in a wing where two adjacent APs use the same busy 2.4 GHz channel. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?

  1. Replan the 2.4 GHz channel assignments using nonoverlapping channels and measured interference.
  2. Examine probe, authentication and association negotiation rather than assuming hiding an SSID prevents discovery or guarantees security.
  3. Tune supported band-preference or steering settings based on client capabilities and coverage evidence.
  4. Evaluate scheduler and multi-client efficiency under actual traffic, not assume every single-user flow gains proportionally.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The underlying issue is that co-channel contention in a shared 2.4 GHz channel increases airtime competition even with strong signal. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: retries and channel utilization fall and stable application performance returns in the affected wing.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a client station repeatedly attempts to join a hidden SSID but technicians attribute its failure solely to low signal. The reported fault instead arises because co-channel contention in a shared 2.4 GHz channel increases airtime competition even with strong signal.

C:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a large office wants better distribution of capable clients between 2.4 and 5 GHz but all steer to 2.4 after a new RF policy. The reported fault instead arises because co-channel contention in a shared 2.4 GHz channel increases airtime competition even with strong signal.

D:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a Wi-Fi 6 AP has 802.11ax clients but an engineer expects OFDMA to increase peak bandwidth of a single long stream automatically. The reported fault instead arises because co-channel contention in a shared 2.4 GHz channel increases airtime competition even with strong signal.

Question 70

An office installs a new 6 GHz-capable AP, but an older 802.11ac laptop cannot detect the dedicated 6 GHz-only SSID. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?

  1. Provide an appropriate supported 5 GHz service for legacy clients instead of assuming 6 GHz backward compatibility.
  2. Use approved antenna gain and transmit power settings per model and regulatory region.
  3. Remove the SSID from all unintended broadcast profiles and validate the permitted networks.
  4. Replan channels and DFS use according to regulatory requirements and service tolerance, never disable mandatory radar protection.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The underlying issue is that a 5 GHz-only 802.11ac radio cannot discover or join a 6 GHz WLAN. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: the legacy laptop associates to its supported band while capable devices use 6 GHz.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a retail site uses multiple AP models but a uniform antenna-gain configuration that overstretches permitted EIRP in some areas. The reported fault instead arises because a 5 GHz-only 802.11ac radio cannot discover or join a 6 GHz WLAN.

C:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when a security team wants to disable a previously unused SSID but the site still broadcasts it through a second WLAN profile. The reported fault instead arises because a 5 GHz-only 802.11ac radio cannot discover or join a 6 GHz WLAN.

D:

This is suited to a different condition, such as when an AP shows DFS radar events and channels change during business hours, interrupting some clients. The reported fault instead arises because a 5 GHz-only 802.11ac radio cannot discover or join a 6 GHz WLAN.
