Cisco 350-401 Practice Test 52

Question 510

Operators need structured evidence of CRC errors and discards on a specific physical interface rather than relying on an application log. During troubleshooting: A host application reports retransmissions, but engineers cannot isolate the damaged physical link. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. No per-interface error counter inspection was performed to distinguish media faults from software failures.
  2. The diagnostic itself adds CPU and logging overhead that changes production behavior.
  3. ICMP echo reachability does not prove that TCP443 is allowed through middleboxes.
  4. Uncorrelated timestamps and stale local buffers were treated as current fault evidence.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The actual technical cause is: No per-interface error counter inspection was performed to distinguish media faults from software failures. It specifically explains the observation: a host application reports retransmissions, but engineers cannot isolate the damaged physical link. The correcting configuration is: inspect device interface counters and compare deltas with SNMP interface telemetry as appropriate.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A high-rate debug makes a forwarding problem appear worse by starving the control plane. Here the recorded observation is: a host application reports retransmissions, but engineers cannot isolate the damaged physical link. The applicable cause is: no per-interface error counter inspection was performed to distinguish media faults from software failures.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: An engineer closes the ticket because `ping` succeeds, although the application still cannot connect. Here the recorded observation is: a host application reports retransmissions, but engineers cannot isolate the damaged physical link. The applicable cause is: no per-interface error counter inspection was performed to distinguish media faults from software failures.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A current outage is attributed to an old log entry from the previous maintenance window. Here the recorded observation is: a host application reports retransmissions, but engineers cannot isolate the damaged physical link. The applicable cause is: no per-interface error counter inspection was performed to distinguish media faults from software failures.

Question 511

Operators need structured evidence of CRC errors and discards on a specific physical interface rather than relying on an application log. The initial change is: Inspect device interface counters and compare deltas with SNMP interface telemetry as appropriate. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: A host application reports retransmissions, but engineers cannot isolate the damaged physical link.

  1. Include service-protocol checks and relevant source/destination/port details in diagnostic evidence.
  2. Keep NTP and centralized retention standards consistent on monitored devices.
  3. Monitor interface error rates and physical optics health against change baselines.
  4. Establish a safe debug escalation process and baseline telemetry before intrusive tools.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The continuing protective control is: Monitor interface error rates and physical optics health against change baselines. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: no per-interface error counter inspection was performed to distinguish media faults from software failures. The corresponding operational check is: correlate rising errors/discards on the affected port with link test times.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That control reduces a separate risk: ICMP echo reachability does not prove that TCP443 is allowed through middleboxes. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: no per-interface error counter inspection was performed to distinguish media faults from software failures. The specific required safeguard is: monitor interface error rates and physical optics health against change baselines.

B:

That control reduces a separate risk: Uncorrelated timestamps and stale local buffers were treated as current fault evidence. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: no per-interface error counter inspection was performed to distinguish media faults from software failures. The specific required safeguard is: monitor interface error rates and physical optics health against change baselines.

D:

That control reduces a separate risk: The diagnostic itself adds CPU and logging overhead that changes production behavior. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: no per-interface error counter inspection was performed to distinguish media faults from software failures. The specific required safeguard is: monitor interface error rates and physical optics health against change baselines.

Question 512

A network device repeatedly logs a routing adjacency reset but no operator knows whether the events are new or historical. The incident evidence is: A current outage is attributed to an old log entry from the previous maintenance window. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Inspect device interface counters and compare deltas with SNMP interface telemetry as appropriate.
  2. Collect timestamped remote syslog records with synchronized time and relevant severity/facility data.
  3. Use interface counters, flow/trace data and narrowly bounded tests instead of continuous invasive debugging.
  4. Use narrowly scoped conditional debugging with the relevant process/interface filter and a bounded observation window.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The required correction is: Collect timestamped remote syslog records with synchronized time and relevant severity/facility data. The underlying failure mechanism is: Uncorrelated timestamps and stale local buffers were treated as current fault evidence. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: match log event timestamps to observed neighbor state transitions and NTP synchronization.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Inspecting device interface counters and comparing deltas with SNMP interface telemetry as appropriate would not collect timestamped remote syslog records with synchronized time and relevant severity/facility data.

C:

Using interface counters, flow/trace data and narrowly bounded tests would not collect timestamped remote syslog records with synchronized time and relevant severity/facility data.

D:

Using narrowly scoped conditional debugging with the relevant process/interface filter and a bounded observation window would not collect timestamped remote syslog records with synchronized time and relevant severity/facility data.

Question 513

A network device repeatedly logs a routing adjacency reset but no operator knows whether the events are new or historical. The proposed remedy is: Collect timestamped remote syslog records with synchronized time and relevant severity/facility data. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Compare low-overhead telemetry before, during and after the event at the same time scale.
  2. Inspect CPU impact and precise debug matches during a short test, then verify debugs are disabled.
  3. Match log event timestamps to observed neighbor state transitions and NTP synchronization.
  4. Correlate rising errors/discards on the affected port with link test times.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Match log event timestamps to observed neighbor state transitions and NTP synchronization. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: a current outage is attributed to an old log entry from the previous maintenance window.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Compare low-overhead telemetry before, during and after the event at the same time scale. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: match log event timestamps to observed neighbor state transitions and NTP synchronization.

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Inspect CPU impact and precise debug matches during a short test, then verify debugs are disabled. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: match log event timestamps to observed neighbor state transitions and NTP synchronization.

D:

This test measures a different behavior: Correlate rising errors/discards on the affected port with link test times. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: match log event timestamps to observed neighbor state transitions and NTP synchronization.

Question 514

A network device repeatedly logs a routing adjacency reset but no operator knows whether the events are new or historical. During troubleshooting: A current outage is attributed to an old log entry from the previous maintenance window. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. Uncorrelated timestamps and stale local buffers were treated as current fault evidence.
  2. The diagnostic itself adds CPU and logging overhead that changes production behavior.
  3. No per-interface error counter inspection was performed to distinguish media faults from software failures.
  4. Unfiltered debug processing generated excessive diagnostic output on a production control plane.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The actual technical cause is: Uncorrelated timestamps and stale local buffers were treated as current fault evidence. It specifically explains the observation: a current outage is attributed to an old log entry from the previous maintenance window. The correcting configuration is: collect timestamped remote syslog records with synchronized time and relevant severity/facility data.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A high-rate debug makes a forwarding problem appear worse by starving the control plane. Here the recorded observation is: a current outage is attributed to an old log entry from the previous maintenance window. The applicable cause is: uncorrelated timestamps and stale local buffers were treated as current fault evidence.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A host application reports retransmissions, but engineers cannot isolate the damaged physical link. Here the recorded observation is: a current outage is attributed to an old log entry from the previous maintenance window. The applicable cause is: uncorrelated timestamps and stale local buffers were treated as current fault evidence.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: CPU spikes and remote sessions stall after `debug all` is left running. Here the recorded observation is: a current outage is attributed to an old log entry from the previous maintenance window. The applicable cause is: uncorrelated timestamps and stale local buffers were treated as current fault evidence.

Question 515

A network device repeatedly logs a routing adjacency reset but no operator knows whether the events are new or historical. Select TWO complementary decisions: the direct technical remedy and a safeguard against recurrence. A verification-only step cannot substitute for either action.

  1. Use narrowly scoped conditional debugging with the relevant process/interface filter and a bounded observation window.
  2. Collect timestamped remote syslog records with synchronized time and relevant severity/facility data.
  3. Keep NTP and centralized retention standards consistent on monitored devices.
  4. Use interface counters, flow/trace data and narrowly bounded tests instead of continuous invasive debugging.
  5. Monitor interface error rates and physical optics health against change baselines.

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

The required correction is: Collect timestamped remote syslog records with synchronized time and relevant severity/facility data. The underlying failure mechanism is: Uncorrelated timestamps and stale local buffers were treated as current fault evidence. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: match log event timestamps to observed neighbor state transitions and NTP synchronization.

C:

The continuing protective control is: Keep NTP and centralized retention standards consistent on monitored devices. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: uncorrelated timestamps and stale local buffers were treated as current fault evidence. The corresponding operational check is: match log event timestamps to observed neighbor state transitions and NTP synchronization.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Short conditional debugging may capture a new event, but it cannot establish whether existing reset logs are stale without synchronized timestamps.

D:

Counters and packet traces can narrow an active fault; they do not provide a retained timestamped record that distinguishes old resets from new ones.

E:

That control reduces a separate risk: No per-interface error counter inspection was performed to distinguish media faults from software failures. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: uncorrelated timestamps and stale local buffers were treated as current fault evidence. The specific required safeguard is: keep NTP and centralized retention standards consistent on monitored devices.

Question 516

A path fault disappears when one debug is enabled but the network team suspects observation affected timing. The incident evidence is: A high-rate debug makes a forwarding problem appear worse by starving the control plane. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Use narrowly scoped conditional debugging with the relevant process/interface filter and a bounded observation window.
  2. Test the affected TCP flow and use supported protocol-specific traceroute/ACL counters rather than relying on ICMP reachability alone.
  3. Use interface counters, flow/trace data and narrowly bounded tests instead of continuous invasive debugging.
  4. Inspect device interface counters and compare deltas with SNMP interface telemetry as appropriate.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The required correction is: Use interface counters, flow/trace data and narrowly bounded tests instead of continuous invasive debugging. The underlying failure mechanism is: The diagnostic itself adds CPU and logging overhead that changes production behavior. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: compare low-overhead telemetry before, during and after the event at the same time scale.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Using narrowly scoped conditional debugging with the relevant process/interface filter and a bounded observation window would not meet the need for interface counters, flow/trace data and narrowly bounded tests.

B:

The needed correction is to use interface counters, flow/trace data and narrowly bounded tests instead of continuous invasive debugging.

D:

Inspecting device interface counters and comparing deltas with SNMP interface telemetry as appropriate would not meet the need for interface counters, flow/trace data and narrowly bounded tests.

Question 517

A path fault disappears when one debug is enabled but the network team suspects observation affected timing. The proposed remedy is: Use interface counters, flow/trace data and narrowly bounded tests instead of continuous invasive debugging. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Inspect CPU impact and precise debug matches during a short test, then verify debugs are disabled.
  2. Compare port443 connection success, filtering counters and ICMP response under the same source route.
  3. Compare low-overhead telemetry before, during and after the event at the same time scale.
  4. Correlate rising errors/discards on the affected port with link test times.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Compare low-overhead telemetry before, during and after the event at the same time scale. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: a high-rate debug makes a forwarding problem appear worse by starving the control plane.

The initial change is: Use interface counters, flow/trace data and narrowly bounded tests instead of continuous invasive debugging. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: A high-rate debug makes a forwarding problem appear worse by starving the control plane.

  1. Establish a safe debug escalation process and baseline telemetry before intrusive tools.
  2. Require explicit debug scope, duration and disable checks in runbooks.
  3. Include service-protocol checks and relevant source/destination/port details in diagnostic evidence.
  4. Monitor interface error rates and physical optics health against change baselines.

Question 520

A router exports ordinary interface SNMP counters, but operations needs per-source/destination five-tuple traffic statistics for a WAN link. The incident evidence is: A collector displays byte totals but no per-application flow records from the router. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Configure a supported Flexible NetFlow record, exporter and monitor on the appropriate interface and direction.
  2. Ensure the supported exporter sends compatible IPFIX/NetFlow templates at a suitable refresh interval.
  3. Account for sampling in interpretation and use unsampled collection where exact counts are required and supported.
  4. Attach the correct flow monitor to the intended ingress or egress direction supported by the platform.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The required correction is: Configure a supported Flexible NetFlow record, exporter and monitor on the appropriate interface and direction. The underlying failure mechanism is: Flexible NetFlow records or monitor attachment are not collecting the required per-flow keys. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect NetFlow monitor cache and confirm collector receives expected five-tuple flow fields.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Ensuring the supported exporter sends compatible IPFIX/NetFlow templates at a suitable refresh interval would not configure a supported Flexible NetFlow record, exporter and monitor on the appropriate interface and direction.

C:

Account for sampling in interpretation and use unsampled collection where exact counts are required and supported would not configure a supported Flexible NetFlow record, exporter and monitor on the appropriate interface and direction.

D:

Attaching the correct flow monitor to the intended ingress or egress direction supported by the platform would not configure a supported Flexible NetFlow record, exporter and monitor on the appropriate interface and direction.
