    Refer to the exhibit. The indicated configuration was established on the HSRP standby router RTB. However, the console message %IP-4-DUPADDR started appearing almost immediately on the RTB router. Given the output of the show standby brief command on RTA, what is the cause of the problem?  - ProProfs

    Refer to the exhibit. The indicated configuration was established on the HSRP standby router RTB. However, the console message %IP-4-DUPADDR started appearing almost immediately on the RTB router. Given the output of the show standby brief command on RTA, what is the cause of the problem? 

    • The command standby preempt should only be applied on the active router

    • The subnet mask is missing from the standby ip 10.1.1.1 command

    • The group number 50 is missing in the Router RTB configuration commands.

    • The priority number 150 is missing in the Router RTB configuration commands.

    • The virtual IP address should be the same as the active router

    • The ports on the switch must be configured with the spanning-tree PortFast feature.

    Correct Answer
    A. The group number 50 is missing in the Router RTB configuration commands.
    Explanation
    The cause of the problem is that the group number 50 is missing in the Router RTB configuration commands. HSRP uses group numbers to identify the HSRP group to which a router belongs. In this case, the standby router RTB is not configured with the correct group number, which is causing the %IP-4-DUPADDR error message to appear.

    When a port security violation occurs on a switch port, the switch sends a syslog message but does not shut down the port. What port security mode is in effect?

    • Sticky

    • Shutdown

    • Restrict

    • Protect

    Correct Answer
    A. Restrict
    Explanation
    When a port security violation occurs on a switch port and the switch sends a syslog message but does not shut down the port, the port security mode in effect is "restrict." In this mode, the switch restricts the traffic on the port to a limited number of MAC addresses, and any violation of this restriction triggers a syslog message. However, the port is not shut down completely, allowing the network administrator to investigate and take appropriate actions.

    A bridging loop occurs in a network and disrupts user connectivity. What action should be taken by a network administrator to restore connectivity?

    • Disable ports that should be in the blocking state.

    • Disable ports that should be in the forwarding state.

    • Disable and re-enable all ports on the distribution switches.

    • Disable all ports on the distribution switches and replace with new switches

    Correct Answer
    A. Disable ports that should be in the blocking state.
    Explanation
    When a bridging loop occurs in a network, it creates multiple redundant paths between switches, causing a broadcast storm and disrupting user connectivity. To restore connectivity, the network administrator should disable the ports that should be in the blocking state. This will prevent the loop by blocking the redundant paths and allowing the network to function properly. By disabling these ports, the network can eliminate the bridging loop and restore normal connectivity for the users.

    Which statement correctly explains the process of mitigating ARP attacks on a switch where dynamic ARP inspection (DAI) has been configured? 

    • All intercepted packets that come from untrusted ports are dropped.

    • All intercepted packets that come from trusted ports are sent to untrusted ports only

    • The intercepted packets are verified against the DHCP snooping binding table for valid IP-to-MAC bindings.

    • For all intercepted packets, an ARP request is sent to the DHCP server for IP-to-MAC address resolution

    Correct Answer
    A. The intercepted packets are verified against the DHCP snooping binding table for valid IP-to-MAC bindings.
    Explanation
    The process of mitigating ARP attacks on a switch with dynamic ARP inspection (DAI) involves verifying intercepted packets against the DHCP snooping binding table for valid IP-to-MAC bindings. This ensures that the ARP packets are legitimate and not spoofed. By comparing the source IP and MAC addresses in the intercepted packets with the DHCP snooping binding table, any unauthorized or malicious ARP packets can be dropped, preventing ARP attacks from occurring.

    Which multilayer switching forwarding method does Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) use?

    • Route caching

    • Process switching

    • Silicon switching

    • Topology-based switching

    Correct Answer
    A. Topology-based switching
    Explanation
    Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) is a multilayer switching technology used by Cisco routers. It uses a topology-based switching method to forward packets. In this method, CEF builds a forwarding table based on the network topology and stores information about the best path to reach each destination network. This allows for fast and efficient packet forwarding as CEF does not need to perform complex routing calculations for every packet. Instead, it simply looks up the destination address in its forwarding table and forwards the packet accordingly.

    A. Disable Layer 2 functionality on interfaces that will be configured as routed ports
    Explanation
    To configure interfaces as routed ports on a multilayer Catalyst switch, three steps are required. First, IP routing needs to be enabled globally. This allows the switch to route traffic between different networks. Second, IP addresses need to be assigned to the routed ports. This allows the switch to have an IP address on each interface and participate in routing protocols. Finally, Layer 2 functionality needs to be disabled on the interfaces that will be configured as routed ports. This ensures that the switch treats these interfaces as Layer 3 ports and does not perform any switching functions on them.

    Which three actions can cause problems with a VTP implementation? (Choose three.)

    • Using a non-trunk link to connect switches

    • Using non-Cisco switches

    • Configuring all switches to be in VTP server mode

    • Not using any VTP passwords on any switches

    • Using lowercase on one switch and uppercase on another switch for domain names

    • having a VTP transparent switch in between a VTP server switch and a VTP client switch (all switches in the same VTP domain)

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Using a non-trunk link to connect switches
    A. Using non-Cisco switches
    A. Using lowercase on one switch and uppercase on another switch for domain names
    Explanation
    Using a non-trunk link to connect switches can cause problems with a VTP implementation because VTP information can only be transmitted over trunk links. Using non-Cisco switches can also cause problems because VTP is a Cisco proprietary protocol. Using lowercase on one switch and uppercase on another switch for domain names can cause problems because VTP domain names are case-sensitive.

    Which STP enhancement should be configured in the network to prevent a nondesignated port to transition to a forwarding state when a topology change occurs? - ProProfs

    Which STP enhancement should be configured in the network to prevent a nondesignated port to transition to a forwarding state when a topology change occurs?

    • Root guard should be implemented on the Layer 2 ports between the distribution switches.

    • PortFast should be implemented on the uplink ports from the access switches to the distribution switches.

    • Loop guard should be implemented on the Layer 2 ports between DSW1 and DSW2 and on the uplink ports from the access switches to the distribution switches.

    • BPDU guard should be implemented on the Layer 2 ports between DSW1 and DSW2 and on the uplink ports from the access switches to the distribution switches.

    Correct Answer
    A. Loop guard should be implemented on the Layer 2 ports between DSW1 and DSW2 and on the uplink ports from the access switches to the distribution switches.
    Explanation
    To prevent a nondesignated port from transitioning to a forwarding state during a topology change, loop guard should be implemented on the Layer 2 ports between DSW1 and DSW2 and on the uplink ports from the access switches to the distribution switches. Loop guard is a Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) enhancement that helps to prevent loops by monitoring the consistency of the received BPDUs. If a loop is detected or if BPDUs stop being received on a designated port, loop guard will put the port into the loop-inconsistent state, preventing it from transitioning to the forwarding state and avoiding potential network disruptions.

    Which three issues can cause devices to become disconnected across a trunk link? (Choose three.) 

    • Native VLAN mismatch

    • Unassigned management VLAN

    • Layer 2 interface mode incompatibilities

    • Missing default VLAN

    • Mismatched trunk encapsulations

    • PAgP not enabled

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Native VLAN mismatch
    A. Layer 2 interface mode incompatibilities
    A. Mismatched trunk encapsulations
    Explanation
    The three issues that can cause devices to become disconnected across a trunk link are native VLAN mismatch, Layer 2 interface mode incompatibilities, and mismatched trunk encapsulations. A native VLAN mismatch occurs when the native VLAN on one end of the trunk link is different from the native VLAN on the other end. Layer 2 interface mode incompatibilities can occur when one end of the trunk link is configured in access mode while the other end is configured in trunk mode. Mismatched trunk encapsulations happen when the encapsulation type (such as 802.1Q or ISL) on one end of the trunk link is different from the other end.

    Refer to the exhibit. What is the result of the displayed configuration on switches ASW1 and ASW2?  - ProProfs

    Refer to the exhibit. What is the result of the displayed configuration on switches ASW1 and ASW2? 

    • BPDU guard puts an interface that is configured for STP PortFast in the err-disable state upon receipt of a BPDU.

    • BPDU guard overrides the PortFast configuration and reverts to the default spanning tree configuration on the access ports.

    • BPDU guard forces the uplink ports on ASW1 and ASW2 to become designated ports to prevent DSW2 from becoming a root switch.

    • BPDU guard places the uplink ports on a ASW1 and ASW2 into the STP loop-inconsistent blocking state when the ports stop receiving BPDUs.

    Correct Answer
    A. BPDU guard puts an interface that is configured for STP PortFast in the err-disable state upon receipt of a BPDU.
    Explanation
    The displayed configuration on switches ASW1 and ASW2 enables BPDU guard. When a BPDU is received on an interface that is configured for STP PortFast, BPDU guard puts that interface into the err-disable state. This is done to prevent the potential creation of a loop in the network.

    What is the recommended maximum one-way jitter when implementing video over IP for real-time video applications? 

    • 1 ms

    • 2 ms

    • 5 ms

    • 10 ms

    Correct Answer
    A. 10 ms
    Explanation
    The recommended maximum one-way jitter when implementing video over IP for real-time video applications is 10 ms. Jitter refers to the variation in packet arrival time, and in the case of video over IP, it can cause disruptions and inconsistencies in the playback. To ensure smooth and uninterrupted video streaming, it is recommended to keep the one-way jitter within a maximum limit of 10 ms. This allows for a reasonable amount of variation in packet arrival time without significantly impacting the quality of the video stream.

    Which two statements are true about the default operation of STP in a Layer 2 switched environment that has redundant connections between switches? (Choose two.)

    • The root switch is the switch with the highest speed ports.

    • Decisions on which port to block when two ports have equal cost depend on the port priority and index.

    • All trunking ports are designated and not blocked.

    • Root switches have all ports set as root ports.

    • Nonroot switches each have only one root port.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Decisions on which port to block when two ports have equal cost depend on the port priority and index.
    A. Nonroot switches each have only one root port.
    Explanation
    In a Layer 2 switched environment with redundant connections between switches, two statements are true about the default operation of STP. First, decisions on which port to block when two ports have equal cost depend on the port priority and index. This means that if two ports have the same cost, the port with the higher priority and index will be chosen as the designated port, while the other port will be blocked. Second, nonroot switches each have only one root port. This means that nonroot switches will have one port that is directly connected to the root switch, which is used for forwarding traffic to the root switch.

    Refer to the exhibit. What statement is true about the way HSRP is configured?  - ProProfs

    Refer to the exhibit. What statement is true about the way HSRP is configured? 

    • Switch DLS1 is the standby router for VLANs 1,10, and 20.

    • Switch DLS2 is the standby router for VLANs 30 and 40.

    • Issuing the show standby command on switch DSL1 will reveal that the HSRP state for VLAN 10 is standby.

    • Issuing the show standby command on switch DSL2 will reveal that the HSRP state for VLAN 30 is standby.

    • By setting different priorities on different VLANs, a type of load balancing is occurring.

    • If the Ethernet cables between switch DLS2 and switch ALS1 were severed, Payroll Host would not be able to reach SQL Server.

    Correct Answer
    A. By setting different priorities on different VLANs, a type of load balancing is occurring.
    Explanation
    The statement "By setting different priorities on different VLANs, a type of load balancing is occurring" is true because HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) allows for load balancing by assigning different priorities to different VLANs. In this configuration, Switch DLS1 is the standby router for VLANs 1, 10, and 20, while Switch DLS2 is the standby router for VLANs 30 and 40. By setting different priorities, the routers can distribute the traffic across multiple VLANs, providing a form of load balancing.

    What are two actions a hacker may take in a VLAN hopping attack? (Choose two.)

    • Replying to ARP requests that are intended for other recipients

    • Sending malicious dynamic trunking protocol (DTP) frames

    • Replying to DHCP requests that are intended for a DHCP server

    • Sending a unicast flood of Ethernet frames with distinct source MAC addresses

    • Sending frames with two 802.1Q headers

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Sending malicious dynamic trunking protocol (DTP) frames
    A. Sending frames with two 802.1Q headers
    Explanation
    A hacker may take two actions in a VLAN hopping attack: sending malicious dynamic trunking protocol (DTP) frames and sending frames with two 802.1Q headers. By sending malicious DTP frames, the hacker can manipulate the trunking configuration between switches and gain unauthorized access to VLANs. Sending frames with two 802.1Q headers allows the hacker to bypass security measures and gain access to multiple VLANs. These actions enable the hacker to exploit vulnerabilities and gain unauthorized access to sensitive network resources.

    • Create voice VLANs to keep voice traffic separate from other data to ensure special handling of the traffic.

    • Configure traffic shaping QoS policy to guarantee minimum delay for the voice traffic.

    • Configure QoS policy to classify the voice traffic in the priority queue to guarantee reserved bandwidth allocation for the traffic.

    • Configure the Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) congestion avoidance mechanism to guarantee that the voice traffic will be placed in the priority queue.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Create voice VLANs to keep voice traffic separate from other data to ensure special handling of the traffic.
    A. Configure traffic shaping QoS policy to guarantee minimum delay for the voice traffic.
    Explanation
    When deploying VoIP in a campus network, it is important to create voice VLANs to separate voice traffic from other data. This ensures that voice traffic receives special handling and can be prioritized appropriately. Additionally, configuring traffic shaping QoS policy is necessary to guarantee minimum delay for the voice traffic. This helps to maintain a consistent and reliable quality of service for VoIP calls. By implementing these two procedures, the network can effectively support VoIP communication with optimal performance and reliability.

    What is a characteristic of a standalone WLAN solution?

    • Has no centralized monitoring

    • Has no centralized management

    • Has no centralized operational control

    • Has no centralized access authentication

    Correct Answer
    A. Has no centralized operational control

    What is the most fundamental form of high availability when using Catalyst modular switches? 

    • Spanning Tree Protocol

    • Routing protocol

    • First Hop Redundancy Protocol (FHRP)

    • Supervisor Engine redundancy

    • Redundant switching modules

    Correct Answer
    A. Supervisor Engine redundancy
    Explanation
    Supervisor Engine redundancy is the most fundamental form of high availability when using Catalyst modular switches. This is because the supervisor engine is responsible for managing and controlling the entire switch, including forwarding packets, managing interfaces, and implementing protocols. With supervisor engine redundancy, multiple supervisor engines are installed in the switch, providing backup and failover capabilities. If one supervisor engine fails, another one takes over seamlessly, ensuring uninterrupted network operation. This redundancy at the supervisor engine level is crucial for maintaining high availability and minimizing downtime in a network environment.
