Question 100

Two distribution switches need dynamic route exchange with consistent peer parameters. What routing-plan component is essential?

  1. OSPF adjacency planning
  2. VRRP first-hop redundancy
  3. Equal-cost multipath
  4. Static default route design

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

OSPF neighbor attributes must be designed and validated. Area IDs, interface addressing, authentication and network type must align for intended OSPF neighbors.

Incorrect Answers

B:

VRRP can supply a resilient virtual default gateway where supported and configured. But this does not address the case requirement to form supported dynamic routing adjacencies.

C:

ECMP can use multiple equal-cost routing paths when platform and topology permit. But this does not address the case requirement to form supported dynamic routing adjacencies.

D:

A static default points unknown destinations toward a reachable next hop for simple topologies. But this does not address the case requirement to form supported dynamic routing adjacencies.

Question 101

A tiny isolated branch uses one upstream Internet router and needs a path for all unknown networks. Which route type fits?

  1. BFD rapid liveness detection
  2. Static default route design
  3. Route filtering and summarization
  4. OSPF adjacency planning

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A default static route suits a single-exit topology. A static default points unknown destinations toward a reachable next hop for simple topologies.

Incorrect Answers

A:

BFD can provide fast failure detection for supported routing neighbors independent of normal protocol timers. But this does not address the case requirement to forward traffic outside locally known networks.

C:

Route policies constrain advertised or learned prefixes to intended reachability. But this does not address the case requirement to forward traffic outside locally known networks.

D:

Area IDs, interface addressing, authentication and network type must align for intended OSPF neighbors. But this does not address the case requirement to forward traffic outside locally known networks.

Question 102

A user subnet's one physical SVI gateway would fail with its switch; endpoints should keep one virtual next-hop address. Which mechanism may help?

  1. VRRP first-hop redundancy
  2. Static default route design
  3. BFD rapid liveness detection
  4. Equal-cost multipath

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

VRRP provides a virtual default gateway managed by eligible peers. VRRP can supply a resilient virtual default gateway where supported and configured.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A static default points unknown destinations toward a reachable next hop for simple topologies. But this does not address the case requirement to maintain first-hop gateway service after one device fails.

C:

BFD can provide fast failure detection for supported routing neighbors independent of normal protocol timers. But this does not address the case requirement to maintain first-hop gateway service after one device fails.

D:

ECMP can use multiple equal-cost routing paths when platform and topology permit. But this does not address the case requirement to maintain first-hop gateway service after one device fails.

Question 103

Two independent routed uplinks have equal OSPF cost and should share eligible traffic. Which behavior should be considered?

  1. VRRP first-hop redundancy
  2. OSPF adjacency planning
  3. BFD rapid liveness detection
  4. Equal-cost multipath

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

ECMP can install multiple equal-cost next hops. ECMP can use multiple equal-cost routing paths when platform and topology permit.

Incorrect Answers

A:

VRRP can supply a resilient virtual default gateway where supported and configured. But this does not address the case requirement to use multiple parallel paths at the routing layer.

B:

Area IDs, interface addressing, authentication and network type must align for intended OSPF neighbors. But this does not address the case requirement to use multiple parallel paths at the routing layer.

C:

BFD can provide fast failure detection for supported routing neighbors independent of normal protocol timers. But this does not address the case requirement to use multiple parallel paths at the routing layer.

Question 104

A guest site must advertise only approved internal summaries upstream. Which policy design element controls this?

  1. OSPF adjacency planning
  2. Route filtering and summarization
  3. BFD rapid liveness detection
  4. Static default route design

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Prefix filters and summaries bound distributed routes. Route policies constrain advertised or learned prefixes to intended reachability.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Area IDs, interface addressing, authentication and network type must align for intended OSPF neighbors. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid leaking unnecessary or unauthorized prefixes.

C:

BFD can provide fast failure detection for supported routing neighbors independent of normal protocol timers. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid leaking unnecessary or unauthorized prefixes.

D:

A static default points unknown destinations toward a reachable next hop for simple topologies. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid leaking unnecessary or unauthorized prefixes.

Question 105

A routing peer's normal dead timer is too slow for a critical link. What supplementary detection tool should be examined?

  1. Route filtering and summarization
  2. Static default route design
  3. BFD rapid liveness detection
  4. VRRP first-hop redundancy

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

BFD gives low-latency failure signals on supported adjacencies. BFD can provide fast failure detection for supported routing neighbors independent of normal protocol timers.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Route policies constrain advertised or learned prefixes to intended reachability. But this does not address the case requirement to detect link or peer loss more quickly.

B:

A static default points unknown destinations toward a reachable next hop for simple topologies. But this does not address the case requirement to detect link or peer loss more quickly.

D:

VRRP can supply a resilient virtual default gateway where supported and configured. But this does not address the case requirement to detect link or peer loss more quickly.

Question 106

A default gateway must survive one switch outage with unchanged client settings. What solution is most relevant?

  1. BFD rapid liveness detection
  2. Equal-cost multipath
  3. VRRP first-hop redundancy
  4. OSPF adjacency planning

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A gateway redundancy protocol exposes a virtual IP and MAC. VRRP can supply a resilient virtual default gateway where supported and configured.

Incorrect Answers

A:

BFD can provide fast failure detection for supported routing neighbors independent of normal protocol timers. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid renumbering endpoint gateways after failure.

B:

ECMP can use multiple equal-cost routing paths when platform and topology permit. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid renumbering endpoint gateways after failure.

D:

Area IDs, interface addressing, authentication and network type must align for intended OSPF neighbors. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid renumbering endpoint gateways after failure.

Question 107

Two same-subnet routers never form OSPF adjacency because one is in area 0 and one in area 2. What planning detail needs correction?

  1. BFD rapid liveness detection
  2. Equal-cost multipath
  3. OSPF adjacency planning
  4. Static default route design

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

OSPF peer area agreement is required on that adjacency. Area IDs, interface addressing, authentication and network type must align for intended OSPF neighbors.

Incorrect Answers

A:

BFD can provide fast failure detection for supported routing neighbors independent of normal protocol timers. But this does not address the case requirement to align neighbor routing-area settings.

B:

ECMP can use multiple equal-cost routing paths when platform and topology permit. But this does not address the case requirement to align neighbor routing-area settings.

D:

A static default points unknown destinations toward a reachable next hop for simple topologies. But this does not address the case requirement to align neighbor routing-area settings.

Question 108

An aggregation box suddenly advertises thousands of internal host routes into the WAN. What plan control would have reduced this?

  1. OSPF adjacency planning
  2. Static default route design
  3. Equal-cost multipath
  4. Route filtering and summarization

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Appropriate filtering and summarization constrain scope. Route policies constrain advertised or learned prefixes to intended reachability.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Area IDs, interface addressing, authentication and network type must align for intended OSPF neighbors. But this does not address the case requirement to limit routing information exchanged with upstream peers.

B:

A static default points unknown destinations toward a reachable next hop for simple topologies. But this does not address the case requirement to limit routing information exchanged with upstream peers.

C:

ECMP can use multiple equal-cost routing paths when platform and topology permit. But this does not address the case requirement to limit routing information exchanged with upstream peers.

Question 109

The network team arrives at a new site and discovers no spare PDU sockets or airflow allowance. What preparatory step was missed?

  1. Site readiness survey
  2. Equipment and optics compatibility check
  3. Precutover staging and burn-in
  4. Installation acceptance record

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Site readiness must confirm facilities capacity. Rack space, power, cooling, grounding and cable routes should be verified before installation.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Validate switch models, transceivers, firmware and speeds against the agreed bill of materials. But this does not address the case requirement to verify physical installation prerequisites.

C:

Preconfigured devices can be tested away from users before the maintenance window. But this does not address the case requirement to verify physical installation prerequisites.

D:

Keep signed installation tests, link status and as-built changes for operational handover. But this does not address the case requirement to verify physical installation prerequisites.

Question 110

An engineer receives transceivers that are unsupported for the proposed switch and fiber type. Which design control should catch this?

  1. Site readiness survey
  2. Equipment and optics compatibility check
  3. Precutover staging and burn-in
  4. Installation acceptance record

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Compatibility should be checked against supported optics and software matrices. Validate switch models, transceivers, firmware and speeds against the agreed bill of materials.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Rack space, power, cooling, grounding and cable routes should be verified before installation. But this does not address the case requirement to match physical components to intended switch interfaces.

C:

Preconfigured devices can be tested away from users before the maintenance window. But this does not address the case requirement to match physical components to intended switch interfaces.

D:

Keep signed installation tests, link status and as-built changes for operational handover. But this does not address the case requirement to match physical components to intended switch interfaces.
