Cisco 200-301 Exam Dumps, Practice Test Questions

Startup configuration may not reflect current link state or selected installed routes after a shutdown.

Interface descriptions are administrative text and cannot prove which route or adjacency forwards user packets.

MAC learning may reveal hosts but not how the router’s current destination-prefix decision changed.

Only equal-preference eligible candidates can generally be considered for ECMP; AD 1 outranks AD 200 for the same prefix.

Administrative distance is a preference ranking where smaller values are preferred.

The numeric next-hop address is not used to override the explicit AD ranking of identical-prefix candidates.

Administrative distance chooses candidate sources for the same prefix; it does not override a longer distinct-prefix match in the installed FIB.

ECMP applies to eligible equal-cost paths for the same destination route, not these unequal-prefix matches.

Different routes and distances are routine; forwarding succeeds when a matching installed route and resolved next hop exist.

A floating static route is a standby source with a higher distance; it is not needed to explain unequal traffic rates across two installed equal-cost next hops.

Default per-destination CEF load sharing is not per-packet round robin. Per-packet sharing can create reordering and requires platform/mode-specific support.

Administrative distance participates in source selection for an identical prefix, not in selecting a separate next hop for each TCP packet.

This command summarizes dynamic routing sources and protocol settings, not the programmed per-prefix CEF forwarding entries the question requests.

ARP resolves addresses for local-link next hops but does not enumerate installed CEF destination prefixes and selected egress interfaces.

802.1Q trunk output reports VLAN behavior at Layer 2, unrelated to a router's IPv4 FIB programming.

The final IP destination remains the remote host; 192.0.2.2 is the intermediate adjacent router used for L2 forwarding.

The next-hop address in the route is an actual forwarding adjacency, not merely a process identifier.

A dotted next-hop IP is not the destination mask and does not indicate subnet boundary length.

The widest match is least specific; /28 covers the fewest addresses and wins if all three match the destination.

Prefix selection does not average the matching lengths; it chooses the maximum prefix length.

MAC addresses are resolved only after IP best-match selection, not used to choose among route prefixes.

Longest-prefix matching cannot distinguish equal prefix lengths; route-source preference is evaluated at RIB selection.

Lower AD wins for eligible same-prefix sources; higher AD is ordinarily a standby candidate.

Next-hop magnitude is not the AD source preference criterion for an identical prefix.

Both paths share route-source AD; OSPF computes cost within that source to select preferred paths.

For eligible equal-type OSPF paths, lower total cost is preferred over higher cost.

Router ID serves protocol identification and does not replace OSPF’s accumulated interface cost as metric.

This is a pure IPv4 next-hop address, which uses ARP on Ethernet rather than IPv6 ND.

DNS resolves names to IP addresses, not on-link IPv4 addresses to destination MACs.

Route preference values have no format or role as L2 MAC addresses; ARP performs the mapping.

A router does not flood unmatched routed IP packets through random broadcast domains.

A default route is absent, so no fallback next hop exists for this destination.

A packet does not authorize adding an unstated route or next hop to the forwarding table.
