Cisco 200-301 Practice Test 68

Question 670

A routed ACL must select the exact IPv4 network 10.10.16.0/20. Addresses outside 10.10.16.0–10.10.31.255 must not match. Which base address and wildcard meet that scope?

  1. 10.10.16.0 0.0.0.255
  2. Use 10.10.16.0 0.0.15.255
  3. 10.10.16.0 0.0.31.255
  4. 10.10.0.0 0.0.15.255

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A /20 subnet mask is 255.255.240.0, whose ACL wildcard is 0.0.15.255. With base 10.10.16.0 this matches the requested aligned /20 only.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A /24 wildcard covers only 10.10.16.0–10.10.16.255 and excludes other hosts in the required /20.

C:

This /19-style wildcard includes 10.10.0.0–10.10.31.255 and is broader than the exact /20.

D:

This selects the lower /20 10.10.0.0–10.10.15.255 rather than the requested /20 starting at 16.

Question 671

A recursive DNS server at 10.20.30.53 should receive UDP queries to destination port 53 from permitted internal clients, with no general TCP/UDP port blanket permit. Which scoped ACL rule type is needed?

  1. Use a permit tcp rule with destination eq 53 as the sole allowance
  2. Use a scoped permit udp rule with destination eq 53
  3. Permit udp from any source to any destination on all ports
  4. Match UDP source port 53 on clients instead of destination port 53 on the DNS server

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Extended ACL matching can permit UDP DNS to a specific resolver destination.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The scenario specifies UDP DNS queries, so TCP-only transport does not match those requests.

C:

A blanket permit defeats the source, host and destination-port restriction.

D:

Clients commonly use ephemeral UDP source ports; destination UDP 53 identifies the recursive resolver service.

Question 672

A router's management interface at 10.20.30.10 should permit SSH from one approved administration subnet but not arbitrary ports. Which extended ACL match targets TCP destination port 22?

  1. Use permit udp to destination eq 22 for SSH management
  2. Permit all TCP ports to every target address in the management subnet
  3. Match source TCP eq 22 from administrator hosts rather than destination eq 22
  4. Use a scoped permit tcp destination eq 22 rule

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

TCP port 22 identifies ordinary SSH service on the management host.

Incorrect Answers

A:

SSH normally uses TCP transport; permitting UDP 22 alone does not allow the stated TCP session.

B:

This needlessly broadens both the protected hosts and services beyond one named router TCP 22.

C:

SSH clients generally use ephemeral source ports; destination TCP 22 is the server listener.

Question 673

An internal host 192.0.2.19 is explicitly banned, but a later ACL rule broadly permits 192.0.2.0/24. Where must the host-specific deny be placed to take precedence?

  1. Use a host-specific deny line before broader permits
  2. Place the broad permit first and rely on the deny below it
  3. Configure the two lines with the same sequence order and expect IOS to prefer deny
  4. Use a destination-only deny without matching the blocked source host

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

A specific host match denies only that IP before any matching broad allow.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The broad permit would match 192.0.2.19 first, so the subsequent deny never executes for that host.

C:

ACL evaluation is first-match by ordered sequence; deny does not inherently outrank permit.

D:

The objective is to deny traffic originating from this host, so direction and host predicate matter.

Question 674

A technician suspects an inbound ACL was attached to the wrong routed interface or direction. Which interface-specific read-only show command reveals its applied ACL and direction?

  1. Run show access-lists without identifying interface attachment
  2. Inspect show ip interface or interface running configuration
  3. Run show ip route only and infer the inbound interface ACL direction
  4. Run show vlan brief to determine a routed interface ACL attachment

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

An ACL definition does nothing at an interface until applied in a direction.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The ACL definition and counters alone cannot prove where and in which direction it is applied.

C:

Routes reveal forwarding paths, not which access-group is attached inbound or outbound.

D:

VLAN membership is unrelated to the interface access-group direction in routed IPv4 policy.

Question 675

A stateless ACL permits client TCP SYN packets outbound, but returning server response packets do not meet any permit. How should the policy handle the reverse-direction flow, or what stateful enforcement alternative is suitable?

  1. Permit only outbound SYN packets and assume return TCP packets are automatically allowed by stateless ACLs
  2. Add explicit necessary stateless return rules or use a stateful firewall
  3. Open every destination TCP/UDP port to any address to repair the one flow
  4. Change only route administrative distance and ignore ACL drops

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Plain IOS ACLs are ordered stateless filters and do not automatically track sessions.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A stateless ACL lacks connection tracking and can independently deny the reverse traffic.

C:

An unrestricted blanket permit is not a safe replacement for the required return-policy analysis.

D:

Routing-source preference cannot authorize packets blocked by a stateless ACL in the return direction.

Question 676

On VLAN 20 a rogue DHCP server sends DHCPOFFER frames from a user access port. The genuine DHCP server is reached through an uplink. Which DHCP snooping trust design should block rogue replies while allowing the authorized server?

  1. Trust every user port so all client DHCP reply packets pass uninspected
  2. Enable DHCP snooping on VLAN 20, leave user ports untrusted and trust only the verified server uplink
  3. Enable Dynamic ARP Inspection alone without DHCP snooping configuration
  4. Increase the allowed MAC count under port security without classifying DHCP message sources

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

DHCP snooping validates traffic on untrusted ports and drops server-type replies there; an explicitly trusted genuine-server uplink allows expected offers to clients.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Making untrusted clients trusted defeats the boundary that blocks rogue server replies originating at access ports.

C:

DAI validates ARP IP/MAC bindings, not server-role authorization of DHCP offers; it is not a substitute for DHCP snooping.

D:

Port security limits learned source MAC addresses but cannot reliably identify unauthorized DHCPOFFER messages from one otherwise permitted MAC.

Question 677

A host attempts to impersonate the default gateway by sending spoofed ARP replies in a snooping-enabled VLAN. Which dynamic ARP inspection mechanism can validate IP-to-MAC bindings and drop inconsistent ARP packets?

  1. Enable Dynamic ARP Inspection with a sound binding source
  2. Enable only source-MAC port security and assume it validates ARP sender IP-to-MAC pairs
  3. Trust every guest access port for DHCP snooping
  4. Disable DAI and rely on Layer 3 routes to reject ARP spoofing

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

DAI compares ARP sender IP/MAC information with trusted DHCP-snooping bindings or permitted static mappings before accepting ARP traffic on untrusted ports. This reduces ARP spoofing but needs an accurate binding source.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Port security controls switchport source MACs; it does not perform full ARP sender IP/MAC binding validation.

C:

Trusting client ports lets rogue DHCP replies through and undermines the binding source DAI should depend on.

D:

ARP spoofing occurs in local Layer 2 resolution and routing-table correctness does not validate forged ARP replies.

Question 678

An access port intended for one authorized workstation learns multiple unexpected source MAC addresses. Which Cisco port-security limit restricts the allowed MAC count on that interface?

  1. Enable DHCP snooping globally but omit a MAC maximum for the switchport
  2. Use an interface traffic policer with no MAC-address violation logic
  3. Configure port security with an appropriate maximum
  4. Configure static IPv4 routes for the workstation MAC addresses

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Port security limits learned or allowed source MAC addresses on a supported access port.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Snooping filters DHCP message trust; it does not limit the count of learned secure source MACs on one edge port.

B:

Rate limits constrain traffic volume, not how many distinct MAC addresses are authorized on the port.

D:

Routes use IP prefixes and do not enforce secure MAC count on Layer 2 access ports.

Question 679

DHCP snooping is enabled on VLAN 30. Clients send DHCPDISCOVER successfully, but legitimate DHCPOFFER responses are dropped on a switch trunk facing the authorized DHCP server. The trunk is currently untrusted. What should be corrected?

  1. Enable ip dhcp snooping trust on the verified server-facing trunk while keeping user access ports untrusted
  2. Trust every client-facing access port so no DHCP message can be filtered
  3. Disable DHCP snooping globally, permitting both approved and rogue DHCP server replies
  4. Configure ip arp inspection trust on all access ports instead of fixing the DHCP-snooping trust boundary

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

DHCP snooping permits server-originated replies through correctly trusted infrastructure ports; client ports should remain untrusted to reject rogue offers.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Trusting client-facing ports defeats the rogue-server filtering goal and can allow unauthorized DHCPOFFER traffic into the VLAN.

C:

Disabling snooping restores uncontrolled DHCP traffic and removes the protection needed to distinguish legitimate server paths.

D:

DAI trust controls ARP inspection, not whether the switch permits DHCP server replies at the configured snooping boundary.

Question 680

A Catalyst access port is configured for a maximum of one secure MAC address with port-security violation mode shutdown. The second, unauthorized MAC appears; `show port-security interface Gi1/0/12` reports Secure-shutdown and a violation count of one. What does this state mean?

  1. The port has hit its security policy and been shut down by port security, not merely an IP routing failure
  2. The device has successfully learned two secure MACs and continues forwarding by default
  3. The trunk native VLAN mismatch alone is proven by the security violation count
  4. The switch has entered ordinary STP discarding state because a root BPDU was received

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

A new source MAC beyond the configured limit triggers a violation; shutdown mode disables the secure port, and the violation counter corroborates the cause.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A one-address limit is violated by the second unauthorized MAC, so the observed Secure-shutdown status cannot mean unrestricted forwarding.

C:

The port-security counter reports a MAC-security limit event rather than proving a native VLAN tagging mismatch.

D:

Spanning-tree role/state is a different control plane; the displayed port-security status and count directly identify MAC-security enforcement.
