Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 57

Question 560

The NMS sends SNMP GET to a Cisco switch, which locally retrieves the requested interface counter and returns it. What is the role of the process running on the managed switch?

  1. SNMP manager initiating the query and scheduling periodic polling
  2. SNMP agent exposing supported management objects and answering the query
  3. Central syslog collector that stores device event text messages
  4. NTP reference clock selecting an accurate wall-clock source

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The device SNMP agent exposes MIB values and serves permitted GET requests using its local operational state.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The manager runs at the monitoring station and initiates polling; the managed device does not become the manager by answering.

C:

Syslog transports event messages to a log receiver; it does not implement SNMP object retrieval for on-demand counter queries.

D:

NTP synchronizes time and does not answer SNMP variable requests for interface performance counters.

Question 561

A Cisco router already generates syslog events locally, but operations requires exporting messages to central collector 192.0.2.50. Which logging destination setting specifies that remote collector?

  1. Set logging console warnings but do not add the collector IP
  2. Use show logging as a substitute for specifying a remote server
  3. Configure logging host with the collector address
  4. Set logging buffered to a larger local memory size

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Configuring a remote syslog collector causes the device to send eligible log messages to that destination, centralizing operational evidence. Severity filters still determine which message priorities are emitted.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Console logging writes to the local terminal and does not send messages to 192.0.2.50.

B:

The show command reads logging state; it does not configure the central destination address.

D:

Local buffering retains on-device logs but cannot deliver them to the central remote host.

Question 562

A security team wants to identify the syslog severity associated with an absolute emergency condition where the system is unusable. What Cisco syslog numerical severity is the Emergency level?

  1. Use severity 0 Emergency
  2. Choose severity 1 Alert as the highest-priority level
  3. Choose severity 7 Debugging because it contains the most verbose messages
  4. Choose severity 3 Error for total system unavailability

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Syslog severity 0 means Emergency, the most critical category in the 0–7 scale. Higher numeric values, including 7 Debugging, represent lower urgency rather than greater severity.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Alert is serious but follows severity 0 Emergency, which is used when the system is unusable.

C:

Debugging is the least severe of the standard 0-to-7 syslog levels, not the Emergency condition.

D:

Errors denote error conditions but do not equal the top severity 0 Emergency state.

Question 563

An IOS device uses `logging trap warnings` for an external collector. Assuming message generation and transport work, which syslog severities does the collector receive under that threshold?

  1. Severity 4 only; earlier severity levels are excluded by the threshold
  2. Severities 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4; higher numeric values are filtered
  3. Severities 4, 5, 6, and 7; this setting chooses numerically larger values
  4. Only severity 7, because debugging messages always override warning filters

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The warnings threshold is numeric 4; Cisco IOS includes emergencies through warnings (0–4) and excludes notifications through debugging.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A severity threshold includes the selected level and all more urgent lower-numbered levels, not only an exact numerical match.

C:

Levels 5–7 are less urgent than warnings and do not satisfy a warning-or-more-critical destination threshold.

D:

Debugging level 7 is the least urgent category; it is not forced into a warnings-only remote logging stream.

Question 564

The message `%LINK-3-UPDOWN` arrives at a collector. An engineer needs to interpret the number 3 specifically, not the LINK component name. What does that number identify?

  1. The third physical switch interface reporting a link event
  2. The severity category Errors rather than the generating facility
  3. The configured syslog transport port used by that device
  4. The number of seconds elapsed since the router last restarted

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Severity 3 denotes an error condition; the LINK text is a different field identifying the facility or message family.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The number in Cisco system-message syntax is the severity, not an interface ordinal; the interface appears in the message text.

C:

The transport endpoint is configured separately and is not encoded by the single severity digit in a message tag.

D:

Elapsed time would appear in a timestamp field, not as the fixed syslog severity value inside the mnemonic prefix.

Question 565

Two Cisco syslog messages have severity 4, but one begins `%SYS-4-...` and the other `%LINK-4-...`. What does the difference in the first field convey?

  1. Different urgency levels, because each facility automatically changes the meaning of severity 4
  2. Different facility or originating subsystem categories, while the severity remains the same
  3. Different NTP strata of the switches generating the two messages
  4. Different SNMP security levels selected for management polling

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The SYS and LINK prefixes identify different message families; facility and severity are separate components of the syslog tag.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Both messages explicitly contain severity 4, so their numeric urgency is identical in the standard syslog mapping.

C:

The NTP stratum field describes clock-source hierarchy, whereas syslog facility identifies the subsystem producing an event message.

D:

SNMPv3 levels govern management-message protection and are not represented by Cisco syslog facility tags.

Question 566

GigabitEthernet0/0 is an IOS WAN-facing interface that must **obtain its own IPv4 address** from a provider DHCP server rather than act as a relay for LAN clients. Which interface address command makes it a DHCP client?

  1. Configure ip helper-address on Gi0/0 to obtain its own ISP-assigned address
  2. Configure ip address dhcp on the WAN interface
  3. Configure ip dhcp pool under global configuration to request a provider lease
  4. Configure ip address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 without a DHCP client

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

`ip address dhcp` makes the routed WAN interface operate as a DHCPv4 client to obtain an address and typically network parameters from an accessible server. It does not relay other users’ DHCPDISCOVER broadcasts.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The helper relays broadcasts received from other clients and does not make the WAN interface a DHCP client.

C:

Creating a pool makes the router capable of serving DHCP, not leasing its own interface address.

D:

An unspecified static IPv4 address/mask is not the IOS interface DHCP lease-acquisition mechanism.

Question 567

A Cisco IOS VLAN gateway relays DHCP requests for new clients to two central DHCP servers at 10.50.1.10 and 10.50.1.11. The administrator wants both servers specified as relay targets on the client-facing SVI, rather than depending on a server broadcast. Which configuration meets this explicit requirement?

  1. Configure `ip address dhcp` on the SVI, which selects two remote servers automatically
  2. Configure `ip helper-address 10.50.1.10` and `ip helper-address 10.50.1.11` on the client-facing SVI
  3. Configure `ip helper-address 10.50.1.255` only and assume both servers answer a directed broadcast
  4. Configure `ip helper-address 10.50.1.10` only; multiple helpers are not permitted on Cisco IOS

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Cisco IOS permits a helper address for each DHCP server on the interface receiving client broadcasts, forwarding client requests to the explicitly configured servers.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The ip address dhcp interface command makes the SVI itself a client; it does not list relay destinations for its downstream VLAN hosts.

C:

A directed broadcast is not a safe substitute for the two explicit unicast server destinations requested in this controlled relay configuration.

D:

Cisco documentation permits configuring more than one helper address on the client-facing interface, so the single-server-only assertion is incorrect.

Question 568

A router's WAN interface is configured as a DHCP client, but an IP lease never appears. Which lease or interface address state should be inspected to verify that acquisition occurred?

  1. Inspect show dhcp lease or the interface address state
  2. Check show ip dhcp binding for local server leases only
  3. Read show ip route ospf for the default route and treat that as proof of a DHCP lease
  4. Inspect only the DHCP relay helper list on an unrelated LAN SVI

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The active lease and configured interface state reveal DHCP client assignment.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A local router DHCP server binding table may not show the WAN interface’s own client lease from an ISP.

C:

A default route can be statically installed; this does not directly confirm DHCP client address acquisition.

D:

Relay configuration on client VLANs does not prove the WAN interface received an address from its provider DHCP server.

Question 569

A DHCP relay on VLAN 50 receives local broadcasts but the remote server 10.70.0.10 is unreachable from the relay. Which routed-IP prerequisite must work before DHCP relaying can succeed?

  1. Configure a local DHCP server pool without checking the route to 10.70.0.10
  2. Enable ip address dhcp on the relay’s WAN and assume that reaches the remote server
  3. Read only the client’s ARP cache without checking the server route
  4. Provide IP routing to the DHCP server

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

DHCP relay relies on routed reachability to the configured server destination.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A separate pool does not repair missing network reachability from the relay to the remote authorized server.

B:

Acting as a DHCP client on another interface does not establish the required routed path or next hop to 10.70.0.10.

C:

ARP information on the client does not prove the router can forward the relayed unicast request to the remote DHCP server.

Question 570

On a LAN SVI 10.50.0.1/24, clients broadcast DHCPDISCOVER; the server is located across a routed hop. At which interface location must the DHCP helper be applied to capture those broadcasts?

  1. Apply ip helper-address to the server-facing uplink that receives only unicast responses, not client broadcasts
  2. Inspect show dhcp lease or interface IP address state without configuring any relay
  3. Apply the helper on the interface receiving client broadcasts
  4. Provide IP routing to the DHCP server without configuring a helper on the client-facing interface

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Configure the DHCP relay helper on the incoming client-facing gateway SVI, where DHCPDISCOVER arrives; the helper then forwards the request toward the remote server using routed IP.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The server-facing routed uplink does not receive the original client DHCPDISCOVER broadcast; an ip helper-address there will not relay that client-subnet request.

B:

A read-only lease or interface display does not forward a client broadcast across the routed boundary.

D:

Even with server routing in place, clients transmit link-local DHCP broadcasts that need a configured relay at the source segment if the DHCP server is off-subnet.
