Cisco 350-401 Practice Test 72

Question 710

OSPF Hellos are dropped after a new CoPP policy is deployed, causing legitimate routing neighbors to reset. The incident evidence is: Healthy physical links show OSPF neighbors flapping only after CoPP activation. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Correct the CoPP class and policing rate for authorized OSPF control traffic rather than opening all packets.
  2. Rate-limit or classify SNMP management-plane traffic through appropriate CoPP/management controls.
  3. Tune control-plane policing rates and traffic classes for real platform traffic levels and route-scale demands.
  4. Apply control-plane policing with class matches and supported police rates for nonessential punt traffic while protecting legitimate routing.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The required correction is: Correct the CoPP class and policing rate for authorized OSPF control traffic rather than opening all packets. The underlying failure mechanism is: Legitimate routing-control packets are mistakenly classified into a low-rate drop class. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect CoPP drop counters for OSPF and verify neighbor adjacency recovers.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Rate-limit or classify SNMP management-plane traffic through appropriate CoPP/management controls would not correct the CoPP class and policing rate for authorized OSPF control traffic rather than opening all packets.

C:

Tune control-plane policing rates and traffic classes for real platform traffic levels and route-scale demands would not correct the CoPP class and policing rate for authorized OSPF control traffic rather than opening all packets.

D:

The needed correction is to correct the CoPP class and policing rate for authorized OSPF control traffic rather than opening all packets.

Question 711

OSPF Hellos are dropped after a new CoPP policy is deployed, causing legitimate routing neighbors to reset. The proposed remedy is: Correct the CoPP class and policing rate for authorized OSPF control traffic rather than opening all packets. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Check CoPP class counters and routing adjacency stability during controlled punt-rate tests.
  2. Compare CPU load, CoPP counters and authorized monitoring success before and after tuning.
  3. Stress-test legitimate BGP update bursts and verify adjacency stability plus CoPP drop counters.
  4. Inspect CoPP drop counters for OSPF and verify neighbor adjacency recovers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Inspect CoPP drop counters for OSPF and verify neighbor adjacency recovers. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: healthy physical links show OSPF neighbors flapping only after CoPP activation.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Check CoPP class counters and routing adjacency stability during controlled punt-rate tests. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect CoPP drop counters for OSPF and verify neighbor adjacency recovers.

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Compare CPU load, CoPP counters and authorized monitoring success before and after tuning. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect CoPP drop counters for OSPF and verify neighbor adjacency recovers.

C:

This test measures a different behavior: Stress-test legitimate BGP update bursts and verify adjacency stability plus CoPP drop counters. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect CoPP drop counters for OSPF and verify neighbor adjacency recovers.

Question 712

OSPF Hellos are dropped after a new CoPP policy is deployed, causing legitimate routing neighbors to reset. During troubleshooting: Healthy physical links show OSPF neighbors flapping only after CoPP activation. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. Legitimate routing-control packets are mistakenly classified into a low-rate drop class.
  2. Management traffic is processed in the CPU and lacks suitable control-plane rate controls.
  3. The control plane lacks an effective policing policy for the abusive punt class.
  4. A platform-inappropriate policing threshold throttles essential control-plane traffic.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The actual technical cause is: Legitimate routing-control packets are mistakenly classified into a low-rate drop class. It specifically explains the observation: healthy physical links show OSPF neighbors flapping only after CoPP activation. The correcting configuration is: correct the CoPP class and policing rate for authorized OSPF control traffic rather than opening all packets.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A small volume of repeated SNMP requests causes control-plane slowdown without link saturation. Here the recorded observation is: healthy physical links show OSPF neighbors flapping only after CoPP activation. The applicable cause is: legitimate routing-control packets are mistakenly classified into a low-rate drop class.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: The CPU becomes saturated because excessive punted packets reach the routing process. Here the recorded observation is: healthy physical links show OSPF neighbors flapping only after CoPP activation. The applicable cause is: legitimate routing-control packets are mistakenly classified into a low-rate drop class.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Valid BGP keepalives and updates exceed the copied policy rate and get dropped. Here the recorded observation is: healthy physical links show OSPF neighbors flapping only after CoPP activation. The applicable cause is: legitimate routing-control packets are mistakenly classified into a low-rate drop class.

Question 713

OSPF Hellos are dropped after a new CoPP policy is deployed, causing legitimate routing neighbors to reset. The initial change is: Correct the CoPP class and policing rate for authorized OSPF control traffic rather than opening all packets. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: Healthy physical links show OSPF neighbors flapping only after CoPP activation.

  1. Review CoPP against platform defaults and route scale during hardware refresh.
  2. Validate OSPF/BGP management classes and planned thresholds before activating CoPP.
  3. Capacity-test control-plane policy exemptions before deploying tighter police rates.
  4. Coordinate polling frequency and CoPP rates rather than masking telemetry failure.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The continuing protective control is: Validate OSPF/BGP management classes and planned thresholds before activating CoPP. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: legitimate routing-control packets are mistakenly classified into a low-rate drop class. The corresponding operational check is: inspect CoPP drop counters for OSPF and verify neighbor adjacency recovers.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That control reduces a separate risk: A platform-inappropriate policing threshold throttles essential control-plane traffic. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: legitimate routing-control packets are mistakenly classified into a low-rate drop class. The specific required safeguard is: validate OSPF/BGP management classes and planned thresholds before activating CoPP.

C:

That control reduces a separate risk: The control plane lacks an effective policing policy for the abusive punt class. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: legitimate routing-control packets are mistakenly classified into a low-rate drop class. The specific required safeguard is: validate OSPF/BGP management classes and planned thresholds before activating CoPP.

D:

That control reduces a separate risk: Management traffic is processed in the CPU and lacks suitable control-plane rate controls. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: legitimate routing-control packets are mistakenly classified into a low-rate drop class. The specific required safeguard is: validate OSPF/BGP management classes and planned thresholds before activating CoPP.

Question 714

A WAN router's CPU is overwhelmed by SNMP polling despite interface bandwidth being far below capacity. The incident evidence is: A small volume of repeated SNMP requests causes control-plane slowdown without link saturation. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Apply control-plane policing with class matches and supported police rates for nonessential punt traffic while protecting legitimate routing.
  2. Rate-limit or classify SNMP management-plane traffic through appropriate CoPP/management controls.
  3. Tune control-plane policing rates and traffic classes for real platform traffic levels and route-scale demands.
  4. Apply supported CoPP or control-plane protection to the punt path in addition to relevant interface ACLs.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The required correction is: Rate-limit or classify SNMP management-plane traffic through appropriate CoPP/management controls. The underlying failure mechanism is: Management traffic is processed in the CPU and lacks suitable control-plane rate controls. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: compare CPU load, CoPP counters and authorized monitoring success before and after tuning.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The needed correction is to rate-limit or classify SNMP management-plane traffic through appropriate CoPP/management controls.

C:

Tune control-plane policing rates and traffic classes for real platform traffic levels and route-scale demands would not address the need for rate-limit or classify SNMP management-plane traffic through appropriate CoPP/management controls.

D:

Applying supported CoPP or control-plane protection to the punt path in addition to relevant interface ACLs would not address the need for rate-limit or classify SNMP management-plane traffic through appropriate CoPP/management controls.

Question 716

A WAN router's CPU is overwhelmed by SNMP polling despite interface bandwidth being far below capacity. During troubleshooting: A small volume of repeated SNMP requests causes control-plane slowdown without link saturation. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The control plane lacks an effective policing policy for the abusive punt class.
  2. Management traffic is processed in the CPU and lacks suitable control-plane rate controls.
  3. Data-plane interface ACL enforcement was mistaken for explicit control-plane policing.
  4. A platform-inappropriate policing threshold throttles essential control-plane traffic.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The actual technical cause is: Management traffic is processed in the CPU and lacks suitable control-plane rate controls. It specifically explains the observation: a small volume of repeated SNMP requests causes control-plane slowdown without link saturation. The correcting configuration is: rate-limit or classify SNMP management-plane traffic through appropriate CoPP/management controls.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: The CPU becomes saturated because excessive punted packets reach the routing process. Here the recorded observation is: a small volume of repeated SNMP requests causes control-plane slowdown without link saturation. The applicable cause is: management traffic is processed in the CPU and lacks suitable control-plane rate controls.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Traffic destined to the router CPU remains unpoliced although a transit-forwarding ACL exists. Here the recorded observation is: a small volume of repeated SNMP requests causes control-plane slowdown without link saturation. The applicable cause is: management traffic is processed in the CPU and lacks suitable control-plane rate controls.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Valid BGP keepalives and updates exceed the copied policy rate and get dropped. Here the recorded observation is: a small volume of repeated SNMP requests causes control-plane slowdown without link saturation. The applicable cause is: management traffic is processed in the CPU and lacks suitable control-plane rate controls.

Question 717

A WAN router's CPU is overwhelmed by SNMP polling despite interface bandwidth being far below capacity. Select TWO complementary decisions: the direct technical remedy and a safeguard against recurrence. A verification-only step cannot substitute for either action.

  1. Apply supported CoPP or control-plane protection to the punt path in addition to relevant interface ACLs.
  2. Coordinate polling frequency and CoPP rates rather than masking telemetry failure.
  3. Rate-limit or classify SNMP management-plane traffic through appropriate CoPP/management controls.
  4. Review CoPP against platform defaults and route scale during hardware refresh.
  5. Apply control-plane policing with class matches and supported police rates for nonessential punt traffic while protecting legitimate routing.

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

The continuing protective control is: Coordinate polling frequency and CoPP rates rather than masking telemetry failure. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: management traffic is processed in the CPU and lacks suitable control-plane rate controls. The corresponding operational check is: compare CPU load, CoPP counters and authorized monitoring success before and after tuning.

C:

The required correction is: Rate-limit or classify SNMP management-plane traffic through appropriate CoPP/management controls. The underlying failure mechanism is: Management traffic is processed in the CPU and lacks suitable control-plane rate controls. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: compare CPU load, CoPP counters and authorized monitoring success before and after tuning.

Incorrect Answers

A:

General control-plane protection helps against punt overload, but this choice does not set the SNMP-specific management-traffic rate requested.

D:

That control reduces a separate risk: A platform-inappropriate policing threshold throttles essential control-plane traffic. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: management traffic is processed in the CPU and lacks suitable control-plane rate controls. The specific required safeguard is: coordinate polling frequency and CoPP rates rather than masking telemetry failure.

E:

A CoPP rate class for nonessential punt traffic can help, but the scenario requires identifying the SNMP polling class and coordinating its safe rate.

Question 718

An ACL filters transit traffic but an engineer expects it to protect router CPU from every packet destined to the router itself. The incident evidence is: Traffic destined to the router CPU remains unpoliced although a transit-forwarding ACL exists. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Apply control-plane policing with class matches and supported police rates for nonessential punt traffic while protecting legitimate routing.
  2. Apply supported CoPP or control-plane protection to the punt path in addition to relevant interface ACLs.
  3. Attach the ACL at an actual routed interface carrying the traffic in the intended direction.
  4. Rate-limit or classify SNMP management-plane traffic through appropriate CoPP/management controls.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The required correction is: Apply supported CoPP or control-plane protection to the punt path in addition to relevant interface ACLs. The underlying failure mechanism is: Data-plane interface ACL enforcement was mistaken for explicit control-plane policing.
