Cisco 350-401 Practice Test 2

Question 10

A campus access switch has two diverse distribution uplinks but both cables terminate on the same line card in one chassis. The proposed remedy is: Place uplinks across independent forwarding or chassis failure domains instead of assuming cable count equals redundancy. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Check that each access block reaches both distribution peers and an uplink failure preserves upstream reachability.
  2. Inspect standby readiness and verify routes and interfaces remain operational through a supported switchover test.
  3. Inspect physical device and slot assignments and disable one forwarding component to check whether a second path survives.
  4. Observe the virtual gateway ownership move and successful client traffic when the active gateway loses LAN reachability.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Inspect physical device and slot assignments and disable one forwarding component to check whether a second path survives. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: both logical uplinks fail when a single supervisor/line-card component is removed.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Check that each access block reaches both distribution peers and an uplink failure preserves upstream reachability. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect physical device and slot assignments and disable one forwarding component to check whether a second path survives.

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Inspect standby readiness and verify routes and interfaces remain operational through a supported switchover test. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect physical device and slot assignments and disable one forwarding component to check whether a second path survives.

D:

This test measures a different behavior: Observe the virtual gateway ownership move and successful client traffic when the active gateway loses LAN reachability. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect physical device and slot assignments and disable one forwarding component to check whether a second path survives.

Question 11

A campus access switch has two diverse distribution uplinks but both cables terminate on the same line card in one chassis. During troubleshooting: Both logical uplinks fail when a single supervisor/line-card component is removed. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The redundant cabling did not remove the common upstream hardware failure domain.
  2. The standby supervisor is not in the required ready/synchronized state for SSO.
  3. The access block has a single active upstream dependency despite the intended redundant collapsed core.
  4. The LAN uses the failed router's physical gateway address instead of a protected FHRP virtual gateway.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The actual technical cause is: The redundant cabling did not remove the common upstream hardware failure domain. It specifically explains the observation: both logical uplinks fail when a single supervisor/line-card component is removed. The correcting configuration is: place uplinks across independent forwarding or chassis failure domains instead of assuming cable count equals redundancy.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A supervisor switchover causes a full reboot and routing reconvergence rather than a stateful transition. Here the recorded observation is: both logical uplinks fail when a single supervisor/line-card component is removed. The applicable cause is: the redundant cabling did not remove the common upstream hardware failure domain.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: An access block loses all campus connectivity after one distribution switch fails. Here the recorded observation is: both logical uplinks fail when a single supervisor/line-card component is removed. The applicable cause is: the redundant cabling did not remove the common upstream hardware failure domain.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Clients retain a reachable physical switch but cannot reach their default gateway after the active router fails. Here the recorded observation is: both logical uplinks fail when a single supervisor/line-card component is removed. The applicable cause is: the redundant cabling did not remove the common upstream hardware failure domain.

Question 12

A campus access switch has two diverse distribution uplinks but both cables terminate on the same line card in one chassis. The initial change is: Place uplinks across independent forwarding or chassis failure domains instead of assuming cable count equals redundancy. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: Both logical uplinks fail when a single supervisor/line-card component is removed.

  1. Review redundant upstream physical paths and device failure domains whenever access blocks expand.
  2. Test gateway failure and restore events, tracking preemption and uplink reachability separately.
  3. Monitor supervisor redundancy state and software version compatibility before maintenance.
  4. Audit port maps and rack power diversity, not just the number of interface descriptions marked backup.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The continuing protective control is: Audit port maps and rack power diversity, not just the number of interface descriptions marked backup. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the redundant cabling did not remove the common upstream hardware failure domain. The corresponding operational check is: inspect physical device and slot assignments and disable one forwarding component to check whether a second path survives.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That control reduces a separate risk: The access block has a single active upstream dependency despite the intended redundant collapsed core. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the redundant cabling did not remove the common upstream hardware failure domain. The specific required safeguard is: audit port maps and rack power diversity, not just the number of interface descriptions marked backup.

B:

That control reduces a separate risk: The LAN uses the failed router's physical gateway address instead of a protected FHRP virtual gateway. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the redundant cabling did not remove the common upstream hardware failure domain. The specific required safeguard is: audit port maps and rack power diversity, not just the number of interface descriptions marked backup.

C:

That control reduces a separate risk: The standby supervisor is not in the required ready/synchronized state for SSO. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the redundant cabling did not remove the common upstream hardware failure domain. The specific required safeguard is: audit port maps and rack power diversity, not just the number of interface descriptions marked backup.

Question 13

Two L3 gateways serve the same user VLAN, and hosts must retain one stable default gateway IP when either gateway fails. The incident evidence is: Clients retain a reachable physical switch but cannot reach their default gateway after the active router fails. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Use platform-supported stateful switchover with synchronized standby-supervisor state and compatible software.
  2. Plan dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 addressing and forwarding through all relevant native paths, preserving IPv4 delivery for legacy clients and IPv6 routes for dual-stack peers.
  3. Deploy a supported FHRP virtual gateway with correctly coordinated member roles and interface reachability.
  4. Place uplinks across independent forwarding or chassis failure domains instead of assuming cable count equals redundancy.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The required correction is: Deploy a supported FHRP virtual gateway with correctly coordinated member roles and interface reachability. The underlying failure mechanism is: The LAN uses the failed router's physical gateway address instead of a protected FHRP virtual gateway. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: observe the virtual gateway ownership move and successful client traffic when the active gateway loses LAN reachability.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Using platform-supported stateful switchover with synchronized standby-supervisor state and compatible software would not deploy a supported FHRP virtual gateway with correctly coordinated member roles and interface reachability.

B:

Planning dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 addressing would not deploy a supported FHRP virtual gateway with correctly coordinated member roles and interface reachability.

D:

Placing uplinks across independent forwarding or chassis failure domains would not deploy a supported FHRP virtual gateway with correctly coordinated member roles and interface reachability.

Question 14

Two L3 gateways serve the same user VLAN, and hosts must retain one stable default gateway IP when either gateway fails. The proposed remedy is: Deploy a supported FHRP virtual gateway with correctly coordinated member roles and interface reachability. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Observe the virtual gateway ownership move and successful client traffic when the active gateway loses LAN reachability.
  2. Inspect physical device and slot assignments and disable one forwarding component to check whether a second path survives.
  3. Test the legacy IPv4-only client against the cloud IPv4 listener and a dual-stack peer against the application IPv6 listener.
  4. Inspect standby readiness and verify routes and interfaces remain operational through a supported switchover test.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Observe the virtual gateway ownership move and successful client traffic when the active gateway loses LAN reachability. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: clients retain a reachable physical switch but cannot reach their default gateway after the active router fails.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Question 15

Two L3 gateways serve the same user VLAN, and hosts must retain one stable default gateway IP when either gateway fails. During troubleshooting: Clients retain a reachable physical switch but cannot reach their default gateway after the active router fails. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. IPv6 addresses or routes are missing on at least one required hop; IPv4 reachability does not automatically deliver IPv6 traffic.
  2. The redundant cabling did not remove the common upstream hardware failure domain.
  3. The LAN uses the failed router's physical gateway address instead of a protected FHRP virtual gateway.
  4. The standby supervisor is not in the required ready/synchronized state for SSO.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The actual technical cause is: The LAN uses the failed router's physical gateway address instead of a protected FHRP virtual gateway. It specifically explains the observation: clients retain a reachable physical switch but cannot reach their default gateway after the active router fails. The correcting configuration is: deploy a supported FHRP virtual gateway with correctly coordinated member roles and interface reachability.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: IPv4-only clients work, but IPv6-capable hosts fail to reach the dual-stack cloud service over IPv6. Here the recorded observation is: clients retain a reachable physical switch but cannot reach their default gateway after the active router fails. The applicable cause is: the LAN uses the failed router's physical gateway address instead of a protected FHRP virtual gateway.

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Both logical uplinks fail when a single supervisor/line-card component is removed. Here the recorded observation is: clients retain a reachable physical switch but cannot reach their default gateway after the active router fails.

Question 16

Two L3 gateways serve the same user VLAN, and hosts must retain one stable default gateway IP when either gateway fails. The initial change is: Deploy a supported FHRP virtual gateway with correctly coordinated member roles and interface reachability. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: Clients retain a reachable physical switch but cannot reach their default gateway after the active router fails.

  1. Validate IPv4 and IPv6 reachability and security policies independently after routing or cloud network changes.
  2. Monitor supervisor redundancy state and software version compatibility before maintenance.
  3. Test gateway failure and restore events, tracking preemption and uplink reachability separately.
  4. Audit port maps and rack power diversity, not just the number of interface descriptions marked backup.

Question 17

A modular enterprise chassis needs subsecond control-plane continuity during a supervisor failure without resetting every interface. The incident evidence is: A supervisor switchover causes a full reboot and routing reconvergence rather than a stateful transition. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Place uplinks across independent forwarding or chassis failure domains instead of assuming cable count equals redundancy.
  2. Use platform-supported stateful switchover with synchronized standby-supervisor state and compatible software.
  3. Deploy a supported FHRP virtual gateway with correctly coordinated member roles and interface reachability.
  4. Use a three-tier access, distribution and core architecture to separate campus aggregation from backbone transit.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The required correction is: Use platform-supported stateful switchover with synchronized standby-supervisor state and compatible software. The underlying failure mechanism is: The standby supervisor is not in the required ready/synchronized state for SSO. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect standby readiness and verify routes and interfaces remain operational through a supported switchover test.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Placing uplinks across independent forwarding or chassis failure domains would not meet the need for platform-supported stateful switchover with synchronized standby-supervisor state and compatible software.

C:

Deploying a supported FHRP virtual gateway with correctly coordinated member roles and interface reachability would not meet the need for platform-supported stateful switchover with synchronized standby-supervisor state and compatible software.
