Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 23

Question 220

A third-party router does not speak Cisco proprietary CDP but supports IEEE 802.1AB. Which discovery protocol can reveal its chassis and port on a Catalyst link?

  1. Use LLDP rather than requiring CDP
  2. Use CDP and assume all IEEE peers implement it
  3. Use ARP entries as physical neighbor identifiers
  4. Use STP bridge information as LLDP replacements

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

LLDP is a vendor-neutral protocol and does not depend on Cisco proprietary CDP.

Incorrect Answers

B:

CDP is Cisco proprietary and is not required on a standards-only third-party router.

C:

ARP resolves on-link IP addresses to MAC addresses; it does not provide the discovery chassis/port metadata identified in the question.

D:

STP selects loop-free forwarding roles, not the general inventory of peer chassis and advertised physical port IDs.

Question 221

A multivendor access link intermittently stops advertising LLDP neighbors. The engineer wants LLDP protocol transmit/receive counters and error statistics, not the list of discovered peers. Which operational command is most relevant?

  1. show lldp traffic
  2. show lldp neighbors detail
  3. show cdp neighbors detail
  4. show ip interface brief

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The LLDP traffic view reports LLDP packet and error counters, helping distinguish packet exchange problems from missing peers.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Neighbor detail describes discovered adjacent devices but does not directly target LLDP packet-error and traffic counters.

C:

CDP detail uses the separate Cisco proprietary discovery protocol, not LLDP packet accounting.

D:

IP interface status reports routed addresses and line state, not LLDP message/error counters.

Question 222

`show cdp neighbors` lists a Cisco neighbor's device ID, local port, and platform information. Which field identifies the reported peer hardware family?

  1. Read the local interface field
  2. Read the remote Port ID field
  3. Read the holdtime value
  4. Read the platform field from show cdp neighbors

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

CDP can advertise vendor device platform information to direct neighbors.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That field identifies the local Catalyst connection, not the neighbor model or hardware platform family.

B:

The Port ID names the connected peer interface, not the platform field identifying its hardware family.

C:

Holdtime indicates the remaining lifetime of the neighbor entry, not the hardware platform.

Question 223

A customer-owned device is connected to a switch port where disclosing the Catalyst platform and software details is prohibited. Which protocol-disable action limits CDP discovery on that edge port?

  1. Disable CDP on that untrusted interface
  2. Disable CDP globally with no cdp run
  3. Disable only LLDP transmit on the customer port
  4. Hide the Catalyst hostname while leaving CDP enabled

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Suppressing CDP prevents the partner from receiving those Cisco advertisements.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This stops all CDP advertisements, including trusted uplinks, rather than only the specified customer-facing port.

C:

That affects a different neighbor discovery protocol and does not suppress Cisco CDP on the edge.

D:

CDP would still advertise device/platform metadata, so changing an identity label is not equivalent to suppressing discovery.

Question 224

An installer is tracing an unexpected patch-cord path: one side is switch Gi1/0/1 and the peer reports Ethernet1/3. Which pair of local and remote discovery port identifiers should be compared?

  1. Inspect only the remote Device ID
  2. Compare only local VLAN membership with the peer VLAN
  3. Compare discovery local and neighbor port identifiers
  4. Read only the local Ethernet link state

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Layer 2 neighbor output can validate expected adjacency and cabled port mapping.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The remote device name identifies a neighbor but cannot determine the pair of actual interfaces at the cable endpoints.

B:

VLAN membership helps troubleshoot segmentation, but does not expose the local-port/remote-port pair being traced.

D:

An up port confirms physical signal; it does not identify the remote port named Ethernet1/3 in discovery output.

Question 225

CDP and LLDP confirm that two ports are physically adjacent, but their IP subnets may still be mismatched. Which separate tests determine whether routed reachability actually works?

  1. Rely on the CDP neighbor table as proof that routing succeeds
  2. Compare only CDP or LLDP reported port names
  3. Run separate IP routing and connectivity tests
  4. Enable LLDP transmit on both sides and assume IP is working

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

CDP or LLDP shows direct Layer 2 adjacency, not successful routed IP delivery.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A link-local discovery frame can be exchanged even when peers use incompatible IP prefixes or no usable route exists.

B:

Port IDs confirm adjacency but neither verify source/destination IP reachability nor routing/ACL permissions.

D:

LLDP is Layer 2 management discovery and is not an IP reachability test.

Question 226

Port-channel5 is an LACP EtherChannel on a Cisco Catalyst switch. Gi1/0/1 is already a trunk with native VLAN 99 and allowed VLANs 10,20, while Gi1/0/2 is also a trunk but has native VLAN 1. Both links have compatible speed and LACP active mode, yet Gi1/0/2 will not bundle. What configuration mismatch must be corrected?

  1. Switch only Gi1/0/2 to LACP passive while leaving the native-VLAN mismatch unchanged
  2. Align the two member trunk native VLANs and other required Layer 2 trunk attributes before bundling
  3. Configure PortFast on the mismatched trunk to override EtherChannel member consistency
  4. Lower OSPF administrative distance on the logical Port-channel5 interface

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Layer 2 EtherChannel members must have compatible trunk state, native VLAN and allowed VLANs; a different native VLAN is a documented reason the member cannot bundle.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Changing LACP initiation mode does not repair a Layer 2 inconsistency between otherwise negotiating bundle members.

C:

Spanning-tree edge behavior does not make inconsistent EtherChannel trunk members compatible and would be inappropriate on an ordinary switch-to-switch trunk.

D:

Routing administrative distance controls routing-source selection, not matching the Layer 2 membership settings of a trunk EtherChannel.

Question 227

Two Catalyst peers negotiate a Cisco LACP EtherChannel. Switch A has LACP system priority 32768, and switch B is configured with system priority 8192. All relevant LACP interfaces are otherwise compatible. Which switch has the higher LACP system priority for protocol decisions?

  1. Switch B, because the lower numerical system-priority value 8192 ranks higher
  2. Switch A, because 32768 is numerically larger than 8192
  3. Both have equal priority because any nondefault number is ignored by LACP
  4. The switch that sends the larger number of data frames, independent of LACP system-priority settings

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Cisco LACP system priority is inverse numeric ranking: a smaller configured value represents higher priority; 8192 therefore outranks 32768.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A larger LACP system-priority number has lower priority, not higher priority, under the documented LACP selection rule.

C:

LACP uses the configured system-priority value as part of system identification/selection; valid unequal settings are not silently treated as equal.

D:

The number of transit data frames does not override configured LACP system-priority comparisons.

Question 228

A Catalyst switch and its peer have compatible port speeds, trunk attributes, and LACP-enabled member ports. Both sides are configured `channel-group 5 mode passive`, and neither starts LACP negotiation. What targeted change allows the EtherChannel to form?

  1. Change at least one side to LACP active so it initiates LACP PDUs
  2. Keep both ends passive but lower the local system priority to trigger negotiation without any LACP PDUs
  3. Set the local end to static `mode on` while retaining passive LACP on the remote end
  4. Configure a new native VLAN only, leaving both sides in passive LACP mode

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Passive/passive does not initiate the exchange. An active peer sends the LACP PDUs that a passive peer can answer, provided other bundling attributes agree.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Priority helps select preferred LACP systems or ports but does not turn two passive peers into an initiating participant.

C:

Mode on is forced aggregation with no LACP negotiation; pairing it with a passive LACP peer does not establish a negotiated LACP bundle.

D:

Native VLAN compatibility matters, but an unrelated VLAN change does not fix the passive/passive absence of LACP initiation.

Question 229

Gi1/0/1 and Gi1/0/2 are intended to be bundled under Po5. A technician needs a quick operational summary showing bundled member flags such as P, suspended members and protocol. Which privileged EXEC display is appropriate?

  1. Run show etherchannel summary
  2. show interfaces trunk
  3. show vlan brief
  4. show lacp counters

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The show etherchannel summary output lists port-channel groups, their protocols and member-interface bundle state flags; it can reveal an unbundled or suspended member.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Trunk status does not directly display per-member EtherChannel bundle flags such as P and I or the aggregation protocol.

C:

Access VLAN membership is not the operational EtherChannel summary of bundled and suspended physical members.

D:

Counters can help troubleshoot exchanged LACP PDUs, but they do not substitute for the compact port-channel and member state summary requested.

Question 230

A four-member EtherChannel is already formed as Port-channel5. The operator wants to inspect settings on the **logical** aggregate interface instead of one physical member. Which interface context should be examined?

  1. Inspect only GigabitEthernet1/0/1 without entering Port-channel5 context
  2. Inspect show interfaces trunk without identifying Port-channel5
  3. Change LACP mode to active on all members without inspecting the formed aggregate
  4. Inspect interface port-channel 5

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Port-channel represents the logical link over the configured physical members.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A physical member interface cannot represent the complete logical aggregate’s configured IP or trunk properties.

B:

A trunk summary may list VLAN carriage but is not the requested logical aggregate interface configuration context.

C:

Negotiation mode change is disruptive and does not satisfy the read-only inspection request for Port-channel5.
