Cisco 350-401 Practice Test 16

Question 150

Two application VMs on the same host should exchange Ethernet frames without forcing traffic out to an external physical switch. During troubleshooting: Two guests in separate isolated virtual networks cannot ARP for one another despite using the same physical host. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. Virtual networking is not consistently provisioned across destination hosts.
  2. Their virtual NICs attach to different isolated virtual switches or port groups.
  3. The virtual-switch security policy permits forged source-MAC transmissions.
  4. The physical uplink trunk or virtual port-group VLAN mapping excludes VLAN 120.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The actual technical cause is: Their virtual NICs attach to different isolated virtual switches or port groups. It specifically explains the observation: two guests in separate isolated virtual networks cannot ARP for one another despite using the same physical host. The correcting configuration is: attach the vNICs to an appropriate virtual switch/port group on the host.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: The migrated VM lands on a host with no matching port group and loses network connectivity. Here the recorded observation is: two guests in separate isolated virtual networks cannot ARP for one another despite using the same physical host. The applicable cause is: their virtual NICs attach to different isolated virtual switches or port groups.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A compromised VM forges another tenant's MAC and sends frames through its vNIC unrestricted. Here the recorded observation is: two guests in separate isolated virtual networks cannot ARP for one another despite using the same physical host. The applicable cause is: their virtual NICs attach to different isolated virtual switches or port groups.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: VMs on VLAN 120 communicate internally but cannot reach external devices on VLAN 120. Here the recorded observation is: two guests in separate isolated virtual networks cannot ARP for one another despite using the same physical host. The applicable cause is: their virtual NICs attach to different isolated virtual switches or port groups.

Question 151

Two application VMs on the same host should exchange Ethernet frames without forcing traffic out to an external physical switch. Select TWO complementary decisions: the direct technical remedy and a safeguard against recurrence. A verification-only step cannot substitute for either action.

  1. Align virtual port-group VLAN tagging and physical uplink 802.1Q trunk permitted VLANs.
  2. Audit distributed-switch uplinks, port groups and VLAN configuration during host addition.
  3. Verify virtual-switch port-group membership and VLAN isolation after VM migrations.
  4. Enable supported virtual-switch port security or forged-transmit rejection for the guest port group.
  5. Attach the vNICs to an appropriate virtual switch/port group on the host.

Explanation

Correct Answers

C:

The continuing protective control is: Verify virtual-switch port-group membership and VLAN isolation after VM migrations. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: their virtual NICs attach to different isolated virtual switches or port groups. The corresponding operational check is: capture east-west frames on the virtual switch and verify no physical-uplink transit is required for local guests.

E:

The required correction is: Attach the vNICs to an appropriate virtual switch/port group on the host. The underlying failure mechanism is: Their virtual NICs attach to different isolated virtual switches or port groups. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: capture east-west frames on the virtual switch and verify no physical-uplink transit is required for local guests.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Physical uplink VLAN trunks do not establish local switching between two virtual NICs on the same host.

B:

That control reduces a separate risk: Virtual networking is not consistently provisioned across destination hosts. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: their virtual NICs attach to different isolated virtual switches or port groups. The specific required safeguard is: verify virtual-switch port-group membership and VLAN isolation after VM migrations.

D:

Virtual port security can restrict guest behavior, but it does not connect both NICs to the host switch and port group.

Question 152

A hypervisor uplink carries guest VLANs 110 and 120 to a physical switch, but host-only traffic works while external guests fail. The incident evidence is: VMs on VLAN 120 communicate internally but cannot reach external devices on VLAN 120. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Align virtual port-group VLAN tagging and physical uplink 802.1Q trunk permitted VLANs.
  2. Attach the vNICs to an appropriate virtual switch/port group on the host.
  3. Enable supported virtual-switch port security or forged-transmit rejection for the guest port group.
  4. Use consistent distributed virtual-switch port-group definitions or equivalent supported host networking.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The required correction is: Align virtual port-group VLAN tagging and physical uplink 802.1Q trunk permitted VLANs. The underlying failure mechanism is: The physical uplink trunk or virtual port-group VLAN mapping excludes VLAN 120. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: verify tagged VLAN traffic across virtual and physical switch boundaries.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Attaching the vNICs to an appropriate virtual switch/port group on the host would not align virtual port-group VLAN tagging and physical uplink 802.1Q trunk permitted VLANs.

C:

Enabling supported virtual-switch port security or forged-transmit rejection for the guest port group would not align virtual port-group VLAN tagging and physical uplink 802.1Q trunk permitted VLANs.

D:

Using consistent distributed virtual-switch port-group definitions or equivalent supported host networking would not align virtual port-group VLAN tagging and physical uplink 802.1Q trunk permitted VLANs.

Question 153

A hypervisor uplink carries guest VLANs 110 and 120 to a physical switch, but host-only traffic works while external guests fail. The proposed remedy is: Align virtual port-group VLAN tagging and physical uplink 802.1Q trunk permitted VLANs. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Capture east-west frames on the virtual switch and verify no physical-uplink transit is required for local guests.
  2. Verify tagged VLAN traffic across virtual and physical switch boundaries.
  3. Inspect inner guest startup and exposed CPU virtualization features in the parent VM.
  4. Validate guest connectivity and port-group assignment after a test live migration.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Verify tagged VLAN traffic across virtual and physical switch boundaries. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: vMs on VLAN 120 communicate internally but cannot reach external devices on VLAN 120.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Capture east-west frames on the virtual switch and verify no physical-uplink transit is required for local guests. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: verify tagged VLAN traffic across virtual and physical switch boundaries.

C:

This test measures a different behavior: Inspect inner guest startup and exposed CPU virtualization features in the parent VM. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: verify tagged VLAN traffic across virtual and physical switch boundaries.

D:

This test measures a different behavior: Validate guest connectivity and port-group assignment after a test live migration. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: verify tagged VLAN traffic across virtual and physical switch boundaries.

Question 154

A hypervisor uplink carries guest VLANs 110 and 120 to a physical switch, but host-only traffic works while external guests fail. During troubleshooting: VMs on VLAN 120 communicate internally but cannot reach external devices on VLAN 120. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The physical uplink trunk or virtual port-group VLAN mapping excludes VLAN 120.
  2. The outer hypervisor did not expose required virtualization extensions to the nested hypervisor.
  3. Virtual networking is not consistently provisioned across destination hosts.
  4. Their virtual NICs attach to different isolated virtual switches or port groups.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The actual technical cause is: The physical uplink trunk or virtual port-group VLAN mapping excludes VLAN 120. It specifically explains the observation: vMs on VLAN 120 communicate internally but cannot reach external devices on VLAN 120. The correcting configuration is: align virtual port-group VLAN tagging and physical uplink 802.1Q trunk permitted VLANs.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Second-level virtual routers report hardware-assisted virtualization unavailable. Here the recorded observation is: vMs on VLAN 120 communicate internally but cannot reach external devices on VLAN 120. The applicable cause is: the physical uplink trunk or virtual port-group VLAN mapping excludes VLAN 120.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: The migrated VM lands on a host with no matching port group and loses network connectivity. Here the recorded observation is: vMs on VLAN 120 communicate internally but cannot reach external devices on VLAN 120.

Question 156

Security needs to prevent a virtual machine from injecting frames claiming another guest's source MAC, and the virtual switch supports anti-spoof controls. The incident evidence is: A compromised VM forges another tenant's MAC and sends frames through its vNIC unrestricted. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Use consistent distributed virtual-switch port-group definitions or equivalent supported host networking.
  2. Create separate guest VMs with allocated vCPUs, memory and virtual NICs managed by the hypervisor.
  3. Attach the vNICs to an appropriate virtual switch/port group on the host.
  4. Enable supported virtual-switch port security or forged-transmit rejection for the guest port group.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The required correction is: Enable supported virtual-switch port security or forged-transmit rejection for the guest port group. The underlying failure mechanism is: The virtual-switch security policy permits forged source-MAC transmissions. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: transmit a controlled spoofed-source frame and confirm the virtual switch rejects it while legitimate frames pass.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Using consistent distributed virtual-switch port-group definitions or equivalent supported host networking would not enable supported virtual-switch port security or forged-transmit rejection for the guest port group.
