Cisco 350-401 Practice Test 22

Question 210

Two IPsec peers cannot negotiate even though IKE reachability exists, and their configured ESP proposals use incompatible cipher suites. During troubleshooting: IKE authentication succeeds but no child security association is installed. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The peers have no common supported child-SA encryption/integrity proposal.
  2. Encapsulation overhead reduced effective payload MTU without PMTU/MSS accommodation.
  3. GRE encapsulates IP traffic but does not itself encrypt the payload.
  4. The tunnel destination resolves through the tunnel itself, producing recursive routing.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The actual technical cause is: The peers have no common supported child-SA encryption/integrity proposal. It specifically explains the observation: iKE authentication succeeds but no child security association is installed. The correcting configuration is: align compatible IKE and IPsec transform/proposal parameters, authentication and identities on both peers.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Small packets succeed while full-sized DF TCP segments blackhole. Here the recorded observation is: iKE authentication succeeds but no child security association is installed. The applicable cause is: the peers have no common supported child-SA encryption/integrity proposal.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A transit observer can inspect inner routed payloads inside GRE packets. Here the recorded observation is: iKE authentication succeeds but no child security association is installed. The applicable cause is: the peers have no common supported child-SA encryption/integrity proposal.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Tunnel protocol repeatedly flaps with recursive route warnings. Here the recorded observation is: iKE authentication succeeds but no child security association is installed. The applicable cause is: the peers have no common supported child-SA encryption/integrity proposal.

Question 211

Two IPsec peers cannot negotiate even though IKE reachability exists, and their configured ESP proposals use incompatible cipher suites. Select TWO complementary decisions: the direct technical remedy and a safeguard against recurrence. A verification-only step cannot substitute for either action.

  1. Control crypto policy compatibility and key rotation without enabling weak fallback algorithms.
  2. Install an underlay route to the remote GRE destination through physical transport, outside the GRE overlay.
  3. Protect the GRE transport with a supported IPsec security association or use an appropriate secured tunnel design.
  4. Test maximum packet sizes and path-MTU after tunnel or encryption changes.
  5. Align compatible IKE and IPsec transform/proposal parameters, authentication and identities on both peers.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

The continuing protective control is: Control crypto policy compatibility and key rotation without enabling weak fallback algorithms. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the peers have no common supported child-SA encryption/integrity proposal. The corresponding operational check is: inspect IKE SA and child/ESP SA negotiation state to verify a common proposal.

E:

The required correction is: Align compatible IKE and IPsec transform/proposal parameters, authentication and identities on both peers. The underlying failure mechanism is: The peers have no common supported child-SA encryption/integrity proposal. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect IKE SA and child/ESP SA negotiation state to verify a common proposal.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Routing the GRE underlay does not reconcile the conflicting ESP cipher suites preventing IPsec negotiation.

C:

Adding IPsec protection to a GRE transport does not resolve mismatched IKE and ESP proposals between the peers.

D:

That control reduces a separate risk: Encapsulation overhead reduced effective payload MTU without PMTU/MSS accommodation. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the peers have no common supported child-SA encryption/integrity proposal. The specific required safeguard is: control crypto policy compatibility and key rotation without enabling weak fallback algorithms.

Question 212

An overlay site advertises a host EID 10.55.2.8, and a remote router needs to determine the proper ingress tunnel router location. The incident evidence is: Packets for a moved endpoint are sent toward a stale old site location. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Ensure the IP underlay routes between VTEP addresses and accommodates VXLAN encapsulation overhead.
  2. Assign supported map-server/map-resolver roles to the intended LISP control-plane system.
  3. Resolve the host EID through the LISP mapping system to its current routing locator (RLOC).
  4. Use VXLAN encapsulation with a tenant VNI between participating VTEPs.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The required correction is: Resolve the host EID through the LISP mapping system to its current routing locator (RLOC). The underlying failure mechanism is: The remote map-cache still references the former EID-to-RLOC association. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect EID-to-RLOC mappings and confirm encapsulation targets the registered RLOC.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Ensuring the IP underlay routes between VTEP addresses and accommodates VXLAN encapsulation overhead would not resolve the host EID through the LISP mapping system to its current routing locator (RLOC).

B:

Assigning supported map-server/map-resolver roles to the intended LISP control-plane system would not resolve the host EID through the LISP mapping system to its current routing locator (RLOC).

D:

Using VXLAN encapsulation with a tenant VNI between participating VTEPs would not resolve the host EID through the LISP mapping system to its current routing locator (RLOC).

Question 213

An overlay site advertises a host EID 10.55.2.8, and a remote router needs to determine the proper ingress tunnel router location. The proposed remedy is: Resolve the host EID through the LISP mapping system to its current routing locator (RLOC). Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Inspect EID-to-RLOC mappings and confirm encapsulation targets the registered RLOC.
  2. Test VTEP IP reachability with an MTU probe before relying on tenant frame forwarding.
  3. Inspect outer UDP/4789 encapsulation and matching VNI on both VTEPs.
  4. Confirm ETR map registrations and ITR map requests are answered for a representative EID prefix.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Inspect EID-to-RLOC mappings and confirm encapsulation targets the registered RLOC. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: packets for a moved endpoint are sent toward a stale old site location.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Test VTEP IP reachability with an MTU probe before relying on tenant frame forwarding. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect EID-to-RLOC mappings and confirm encapsulation targets the registered RLOC.

C:

This test measures a different behavior: Inspect outer UDP/4789 encapsulation and matching VNI on both VTEPs. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect EID-to-RLOC mappings and confirm encapsulation targets the registered RLOC.

D:

This test measures a different behavior: Confirm ETR map registrations and ITR map requests are answered for a representative EID prefix. It does not establish the target outcome.

Question 214

An overlay site advertises a host EID 10.55.2.8, and a remote router needs to determine the proper ingress tunnel router location. During troubleshooting: Packets for a moved endpoint are sent toward a stale old site location. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The underlay cannot deliver outer IP/UDP VXLAN packets to the remote VTEP.
  2. The remote map-cache still references the former EID-to-RLOC association.
  3. The expected map server/resolver is unavailable or lacks the EID registration.
  4. The VNI mapping is inconsistent with the intended tenant overlay segment.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The actual technical cause is: The remote map-cache still references the former EID-to-RLOC association. It specifically explains the observation: packets for a moved endpoint are sent toward a stale old site location. The correcting configuration is: resolve the host EID through the LISP mapping system to its current routing locator (RLOC).

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Overlay traffic fails across racks even though local hosts communicate within each VTEP. Here the recorded observation is: packets for a moved endpoint are sent toward a stale old site location. The applicable cause is: the remote map-cache still references the former EID-to-RLOC association.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Remote ITRs cannot resolve mappings although the local ETR has learned the endpoint. Here the recorded observation is: packets for a moved endpoint are sent toward a stale old site location. The applicable cause is: the remote map-cache still references the former EID-to-RLOC association.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Tenant frames reach the remote VTEP but are delivered to another overlay segment. Here the recorded observation is: packets for a moved endpoint are sent toward a stale old site location. The applicable cause is: the remote map-cache still references the former EID-to-RLOC association.

Question 215

An overlay site advertises a host EID 10.55.2.8, and a remote router needs to determine the proper ingress tunnel router location. The initial change is: Resolve the host EID through the LISP mapping system to its current routing locator (RLOC). Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: Packets for a moved endpoint are sent toward a stale old site location.

  1. Monitor map-register refresh and mobility convergence after location changes.
  2. Include VTEP route reachability and encapsulation MTU in fabric operational checks.
  3. Use redundant mapping services and validate resolver reachability across underlay links.
  4. Audit VNI mappings and remote VTEP registration during tenant moves.

Question 216

A LISP deployment needs to store endpoint registrations and answer address-to-location resolution queries. The incident evidence is: Remote ITRs cannot resolve mappings although the local ETR has learned the endpoint. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Resolve the host EID through the LISP mapping system to its current routing locator (RLOC).
  2. Build a supported GRE tunnel between reachable tunnel endpoints and route the intended overlay payload through it.
  3. Ensure the IP underlay routes between VTEP addresses and accommodates VXLAN encapsulation overhead.
  4. Assign supported map-server/map-resolver roles to the intended LISP control-plane system.
