Cisco 350-401 Practice Test 34

Question 330

Two OSPFv2 routers on a broadcast Ethernet link have unique IP addresses but use the same router ID. The incident evidence is: OSPF adjacency fails or behaves inconsistently when duplicate router IDs are present. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Align the OSPF hello and dead timers on the adjacency interfaces.
  2. Interpret DR/BDR election and normal DROther-to-DROther 2-Way behavior on broadcast networks.
  3. Assign distinct stable router IDs and restart/clear the relevant OSPF process as required by the platform.
  4. Configure the appropriate OSPF point-to-point network type on the dedicated link.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The required correction is: Assign distinct stable router IDs and restart/clear the relevant OSPF process as required by the platform. The underlying failure mechanism is: The OSPF domain does not have unique router identifiers for participating routers. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: check `show ip ospf neighbor` transitions to Full and peer router IDs are unique.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Aligning the OSPF hello and dead timers on the adjacency interfaces would not assign distinct stable router IDs and restart/clear the relevant OSPF process as required by the platform.

B:

Interpreting DR/BDR election and normal DROther-to-DROther 2-Way behavior on broadcast networks would not assign distinct stable router IDs and restart/clear the relevant OSPF process as required by the platform.

D:

Configuring the appropriate OSPF point-to-point network type on the dedicated link would not assign distinct stable router IDs and restart/clear the relevant OSPF process as required by the platform.

Question 331

Two OSPFv2 routers on a broadcast Ethernet link have unique IP addresses but use the same router ID. The proposed remedy is: Assign distinct stable router IDs and restart/clear the relevant OSPF process as required by the platform. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Verify no DR/BDR election and the peer reaches Full on the point-to-point interface.
  2. Compare interface timer fields in OSPF show output and verify neighbors reach Full.
  3. Check that both DROthers form Full adjacency to the designated router or backup router as appropriate.
  4. Check `show ip ospf neighbor` transitions to Full and peer router IDs are unique.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Check `show ip ospf neighbor` transitions to Full and peer router IDs are unique. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: oSPF adjacency fails or behaves inconsistently when duplicate router IDs are present.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Verify no DR/BDR election and the peer reaches Full on the point-to-point interface. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: check `show ip ospf neighbor` transitions to Full and peer router IDs are unique.

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Compare interface timer fields in OSPF show output and verify neighbors reach Full. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: check `show ip ospf neighbor` transitions to Full and peer router IDs are unique.

C:

This test measures a different behavior: Check that both DROthers form Full adjacency to the designated router or backup router as appropriate. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: check `show ip ospf neighbor` transitions to Full and peer router IDs are unique.

Question 332

Two OSPFv2 routers on a broadcast Ethernet link have unique IP addresses but use the same router ID. During troubleshooting: OSPF adjacency fails or behaves inconsistently when duplicate router IDs are present. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The OSPF network type is set to broadcast instead of point-to-point.
  2. The OSPF domain does not have unique router identifiers for participating routers.
  3. The peers do not agree on required OSPF hello/dead interval parameters.
  4. The DR/BDR adjacency topology intentionally avoids full DROther-to-DROther adjacencies.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The actual technical cause is: The OSPF domain does not have unique router identifiers for participating routers. It specifically explains the observation: oSPF adjacency fails or behaves inconsistently when duplicate router IDs are present. The correcting configuration is: assign distinct stable router IDs and restart/clear the relevant OSPF process as required by the platform.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A two-router point-to-point link unexpectedly elects a DR and follows broadcast-style adjacency rules. Here the recorded observation is: oSPF adjacency fails or behaves inconsistently when duplicate router IDs are present. The applicable cause is: the OSPF domain does not have unique router identifiers for participating routers.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Hello packets are received but no OSPF neighbor adjacency establishes. Here the recorded observation is: oSPF adjacency fails or behaves inconsistently when duplicate router IDs are present. The applicable cause is: the OSPF domain does not have unique router identifiers for participating routers.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Two DROthers remain in 2-Way even though the network is forwarding routes normally. Here the recorded observation is: oSPF adjacency fails or behaves inconsistently when duplicate router IDs are present. The applicable cause is: the OSPF domain does not have unique router identifiers for participating routers.

Question 333

Two OSPFv2 routers on a broadcast Ethernet link have unique IP addresses but use the same router ID. Select TWO complementary decisions: the direct technical remedy and a safeguard against recurrence. A verification-only step cannot substitute for either action.

  1. Reserve unique stable router IDs and verify after device replacements.
  2. Assign distinct stable router IDs and restart/clear the relevant OSPF process as required by the platform.
  3. Interpret DR/BDR election and normal DROther-to-DROther 2-Way behavior on broadcast networks.
  4. Use interface-level OSPF timer standards on matching link types.
  5. Configure the appropriate OSPF point-to-point network type on the dedicated link.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

The continuing protective control is: Reserve unique stable router IDs and verify after device replacements. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the OSPF domain does not have unique router identifiers for participating routers. The corresponding operational check is: check `show ip ospf neighbor` transitions to Full and peer router IDs are unique.

B:

The required correction is: Assign distinct stable router IDs and restart/clear the relevant OSPF process as required by the platform. The underlying failure mechanism is: The OSPF domain does not have unique router identifiers for participating routers. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: check `show ip ospf neighbor` transitions to Full and peer router IDs are unique.

Incorrect Answers

C:

DR and BDR election behavior does not remove a duplicate OSPF router ID between the two neighbors.

D:

That control reduces a separate risk: The peers do not agree on required OSPF hello/dead interval parameters. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the OSPF domain does not have unique router identifiers for participating routers. The specific required safeguard is: reserve unique stable router IDs and verify after device replacements.

E:

Changing the OSPF network type does not ensure that each router has a distinct router ID.

Question 334

A branch router has OSPF enabled on its LAN subnet but should never form a neighbor with untrusted employee devices. The incident evidence is: Untrusted LAN hosts receive OSPF Hellos and can attempt to form adjacencies. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Make the LAN-facing OSPF interface passive while still advertising its connected prefix as appropriate.
  2. Apply the appropriate external redistribution route-map or prefix controls at the ASBR.
  3. Align the OSPF hello and dead timers on the adjacency interfaces.
  4. Enable supported OSPFv3 IPv6 routing and adjacencies using IPv6 link-local neighbor reachability.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The required correction is: Make the LAN-facing OSPF interface passive while still advertising its connected prefix as appropriate. The underlying failure mechanism is: The user-facing interface is active for OSPF neighbor discovery instead of passive. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect OSPF interface/passive state and verify no LAN neighbor adjacencies form.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Applying the appropriate external redistribution route-map or prefix controls at the ASBR would not make the LAN-facing OSPF interface passive while still advertising its connected prefix as appropriate.

C:

Aligning the OSPF hello and dead timers on the adjacency interfaces would not make the LAN-facing OSPF interface passive while still advertising its connected prefix as appropriate.

D:

Enabling supported OSPFv3 IPv6 routing and adjacencies using IPv6 link-local neighbor reachability would not make the LAN-facing OSPF interface passive while still advertising its connected prefix as appropriate.

Question 335

A branch router has OSPF enabled on its LAN subnet but should never form a neighbor with untrusted employee devices. The proposed remedy is: Make the LAN-facing OSPF interface passive while still advertising its connected prefix as appropriate. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Inspect OSPFv3 neighbors and IPv6 link-local next hops on the interface.
  2. Compare interface timer fields in OSPF show output and verify neighbors reach Full.
  3. Inspect OSPF interface/passive state and verify no LAN neighbor adjacencies form.
  4. Inspect redistributed external LSAs and confirm prohibited prefixes are not originated.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Inspect OSPF interface/passive state and verify no LAN neighbor adjacencies form. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: untrusted LAN hosts receive OSPF Hellos and can attempt to form adjacencies.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Inspect OSPFv3 neighbors and IPv6 link-local next hops on the interface. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect OSPF interface/passive state and verify no LAN neighbor adjacencies form.

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Compare interface timer fields in OSPF show output and verify neighbors reach Full. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect OSPF interface/passive state and verify no LAN neighbor adjacencies form.

D:

This test measures a different behavior: Inspect redistributed external LSAs and confirm prohibited prefixes are not originated. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect OSPF interface/passive state and verify no LAN neighbor adjacencies form.

Question 336

A branch router has OSPF enabled on its LAN subnet but should never form a neighbor with untrusted employee devices. During troubleshooting: Untrusted LAN hosts receive OSPF Hellos and can attempt to form adjacencies. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The area range controls inter-area summarization, not the ASBR's redistributed external LSA set.
  2. The user-facing interface is active for OSPF neighbor discovery instead of passive.
  3. OSPFv3 neighbor formation uses link-local addressing on the link, not a required global neighbor address.
  4. The peers do not agree on required OSPF hello/dead interval parameters.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The actual technical cause is: The user-facing interface is active for OSPF neighbor discovery instead of passive. It specifically explains the observation: untrusted LAN hosts receive OSPF Hellos and can attempt to form adjacencies. The correcting configuration is: make the LAN-facing OSPF interface passive while still advertising its connected prefix as appropriate.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: External prefixes still appear in OSPF despite a changed inter-area summary range. Here the recorded observation is: untrusted LAN hosts receive OSPF Hellos and can attempt to form adjacencies. The applicable cause is: the user-facing interface is active for OSPF neighbor discovery instead of passive.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: An operator rejects a valid OSPFv3 design because no global IPv6 address appears on the transit link. Here the recorded observation is: untrusted LAN hosts receive OSPF Hellos and can attempt to form adjacencies. The applicable cause is: the user-facing interface is active for OSPF neighbor discovery instead of passive.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Hello packets are received but no OSPF neighbor adjacency establishes. Here the recorded observation is: untrusted LAN hosts receive OSPF Hellos and can attempt to form adjacencies. The applicable cause is: the user-facing interface is active for OSPF neighbor discovery instead of passive.

Question 337

A branch router has OSPF enabled on its LAN subnet but should never form a neighbor with untrusted employee devices. The initial change is: Make the LAN-facing OSPF interface passive while still advertising its connected prefix as appropriate. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: Untrusted LAN hosts receive OSPF Hellos and can attempt to form adjacencies.

  1. Review external redistribution policy separately from ABR inter-area ranges.
  2. Verify IPv6 link-local reachability and per-interface OSPFv3 process/area bindings.
  3. Use interface-level OSPF timer standards on matching link types.
  4. Prefer passive-interface default with explicit trusted transit exceptions where supported.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The continuing protective control is: Prefer passive-interface default with explicit trusted transit exceptions where supported. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the user-facing interface is active for OSPF neighbor discovery instead of passive. The corresponding operational check is: inspect OSPF interface/passive state and verify no LAN neighbor adjacencies form.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That control reduces a separate risk: The area range controls inter-area summarization, not the ASBR's redistributed external LSA set. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the user-facing interface is active for OSPF neighbor discovery instead of passive. The specific required safeguard is: prefer passive-interface default with explicit trusted transit exceptions where supported.

B:

That control reduces a separate risk: OSPFv3 neighbor formation uses link-local addressing on the link, not a required global neighbor address. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the user-facing interface is active for OSPF neighbor discovery instead of passive. The specific required safeguard is: prefer passive-interface default with explicit trusted transit exceptions where supported.

C:

For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the user-facing interface is active for OSPF neighbor discovery instead of passive. The specific required safeguard is: prefer passive-interface default with explicit trusted transit exceptions where supported.

Question 338

Two OSPF neighbors remain stuck in ExStart/Exchange, and captures show they disagree on the interface MTU. The incident evidence is: The adjacency never reaches Full despite matching area, hello and dead timers. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Place ASBR external routes in an area type that supports external LSAs or adjust area design deliberately.
  2. Place the connected OSPFv3 interfaces into the same intended area, maintaining valid process and instance alignment.
  3. Align the OSPF hello and dead timers on the adjacency interfaces.
  4. Correct the underlying MTU mismatch or carefully use a supported MTU-ignore exception only when justified.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The required correction is: Correct the underlying MTU mismatch or carefully use a supported MTU-ignore exception only when justified. The underlying failure mechanism is: The OSPF database description negotiation detects incompatible interface MTUs. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect adjacency progress and database exchange after matching MTU settings.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Placing ASBR external routes in an area type that supports external LSAs or adjust area design deliberately would not correct the underlying MTU mismatch or carefully use a supported MTU-ignore exception only when justified.

B:

Placing the connected OSPFv3 interfaces into the same intended area, maintaining valid process and instance alignment would not correct the underlying MTU mismatch or carefully use a supported MTU-ignore exception only when justified.

C:

Aligning the OSPF hello and dead timers on the adjacency interfaces would not correct the underlying MTU mismatch or carefully use a supported MTU-ignore exception only when justified.

Question 339

Two OSPF neighbors remain stuck in ExStart/Exchange, and captures show they disagree on the interface MTU. The proposed remedy is: Correct the underlying MTU mismatch or carefully use a supported MTU-ignore exception only when justified. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Compare interface timer fields in OSPF show output and verify neighbors reach Full.
  2. Check OSPFv3 interface area IDs and neighbor state until adjacency reaches Full.
  3. Check area type, LSA database and default-route behavior for the selected stub model.
  4. Inspect adjacency progress and database exchange after matching MTU settings.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Inspect adjacency progress and database exchange after matching MTU settings. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: the adjacency never reaches Full despite matching area, hello and dead timers.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Compare interface timer fields in OSPF show output and verify neighbors reach Full. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect adjacency progress and database exchange after matching MTU settings.

Question 340

Two OSPF neighbors remain stuck in ExStart/Exchange, and captures show they disagree on the interface MTU. During troubleshooting: The adjacency never reaches Full despite matching area, hello and dead timers. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The peers do not agree on required OSPF hello/dead interval parameters.
  2. Stub areas suppress Type 5 external LSAs; the expectation of normal external flooding was wrong.
  3. The OSPF database description negotiation detects incompatible interface MTUs.
  4. The OSPFv3 interface area IDs are inconsistent between adjacent peers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The actual technical cause is: The OSPF database description negotiation detects incompatible interface MTUs. It specifically explains the observation: the adjacency never reaches Full despite matching area, hello and dead timers. The correcting configuration is: correct the underlying MTU mismatch or carefully use a supported MTU-ignore exception only when justified.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Hello packets are received but no OSPF neighbor adjacency establishes. Here the recorded observation is: the adjacency never reaches Full despite matching area, hello and dead timers. The applicable cause is: the OSPF database description negotiation detects incompatible interface MTUs.

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: External routes are absent inside the stub despite a working internal adjacency. Here the recorded observation is: the adjacency never reaches Full despite matching area, hello and dead timers. The applicable cause is: the OSPF database description negotiation detects incompatible interface MTUs.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: No OSPFv3 adjacency forms despite IPv6 link-local connectivity. Here the recorded observation is: the adjacency never reaches Full despite matching area, hello and dead timers. The applicable cause is: the OSPF database description negotiation detects incompatible interface MTUs.
