Cisco 350-401 Practice Test 77

Question 760

A campus wants group-based policy that follows endpoint identity tags across routed paths, rather than per-VLAN ACL rewrites after every user move. During troubleshooting: A user moved to a new VLAN bypasses the old subnet-based segmentation policy. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. Port/protocol-only filtering cannot recognize application-layer signatures or allowed decryption context.
  2. Policy was tied only to IP/VLAN placement rather than the intended TrustSec identity tags.
  3. The transit path does not carry or reconstruct security group tags to the enforcement point.
  4. The Ethernet hop lacks functioning MACsec encryption despite ordinary VLAN segmentation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The actual technical cause is: Policy was tied only to IP/VLAN placement rather than the intended TrustSec identity tags. It specifically explains the observation: a user moved to a new VLAN bypasses the old subnet-based segmentation policy. The correcting configuration is: use Cisco TrustSec security group tags and SGACL enforcement where the platform and design support it.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A basic destination-port ACL permits both harmless and malicious traffic on TCP443. Here the recorded observation is: a user moved to a new VLAN bypasses the old subnet-based segmentation policy. The applicable cause is: policy was tied only to IP/VLAN placement rather than the intended TrustSec identity tags.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: The destination SGACL treats all traffic as unknown SGT despite correct access-edge classification. Here the recorded observation is: a user moved to a new VLAN bypasses the old subnet-based segmentation policy. The applicable cause is: policy was tied only to IP/VLAN placement rather than the intended TrustSec identity tags.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A passive tap reads sensitive unencrypted payloads on the supposedly protected switch-to-switch wire. Here the recorded observation is: a user moved to a new VLAN bypasses the old subnet-based segmentation policy. The applicable cause is: policy was tied only to IP/VLAN placement rather than the intended TrustSec identity tags.

Question 761

A campus wants group-based policy that follows endpoint identity tags across routed paths, rather than per-VLAN ACL rewrites after every user move. Select THREE complementary actions: the technical remedy, a direct verification, and the ongoing safeguard. Evidence from an unrelated mechanism is not a substitute for these three responsibilities.

  1. Capture frames on the physical link and confirm encrypted MACsec data with authorized peers maintaining connectivity.
  2. Test the intended source/destination SGT pair across VLAN changes and check policy counters.
  3. Use Cisco TrustSec security group tags and SGACL enforcement where the platform and design support it.
  4. Retest posture and endpoint lifecycle controls when device agents or certificates change.
  5. Enable the supported SGT propagation or mapping mechanism across the relevant transit path.
  6. Review SGT classification and SGACL matrix assignments as identity groups change.

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Test the intended source/destination SGT pair across VLAN changes and check policy counters. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: a user moved to a new VLAN bypasses the old subnet-based segmentation policy.

C:

The required correction is: Use Cisco TrustSec security group tags and SGACL enforcement where the platform and design support it. The underlying failure mechanism is: Policy was tied only to IP/VLAN placement rather than the intended TrustSec identity tags. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: test the intended source/destination SGT pair across VLAN changes and check policy counters.

F:

The continuing protective control is: Review SGT classification and SGACL matrix assignments as identity groups change. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: policy was tied only to IP/VLAN placement rather than the intended TrustSec identity tags. The corresponding operational check is: test the intended source/destination SGT pair across VLAN changes and check policy counters.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Capture frames on the physical link and confirm encrypted MACsec data with authorized peers maintaining connectivity. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: test the intended source/destination SGT pair across VLAN changes and check policy counters.

D:

That control reduces a separate risk: Endpoint admission and posture enforcement are absent at access boundaries. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: policy was tied only to IP/VLAN placement rather than the intended TrustSec identity tags. The specific required safeguard is: review SGT classification and SGACL matrix assignments as identity groups change.

E:

The needed correction is to use Cisco TrustSec security group tags and SGACL enforcement where the platform and design support it.

Question 762

A TrustSec deployment has endpoints tagged correctly at access switches, but an intermediate switch strips tags before the enforcement boundary. The incident evidence is: The destination SGACL treats all traffic as unknown SGT despite correct access-edge classification. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Use Cisco TrustSec security group tags and SGACL enforcement where the platform and design support it.
  2. Apply supported CoPP or control-plane protection to the punt path in addition to relevant interface ACLs.
  3. Use supported IEEE 802.1AE MACsec link encryption and compatible key agreement on both switch endpoints.
  4. Enable the supported SGT propagation or mapping mechanism across the relevant transit path.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The required correction is: Enable the supported SGT propagation or mapping mechanism across the relevant transit path. The underlying failure mechanism is: The transit path does not carry or reconstruct security group tags to the enforcement point. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: inspect tag values at ingress and enforcement devices for a controlled endpoint flow.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The needed correction is to enable the supported SGT propagation or mapping mechanism across the relevant transit path.

B:

Applying supported CoPP or control-plane protection to the punt path in addition to relevant interface ACLs would not enable the supported SGT propagation or mapping mechanism across the relevant transit path.

C:

Using supported IEEE 802.1AE MACsec link encryption and compatible key agreement on both switch endpoints would not enable the supported SGT propagation or mapping mechanism across the relevant transit path.

Question 763

A TrustSec deployment has endpoints tagged correctly at access switches, but an intermediate switch strips tags before the enforcement boundary. The proposed remedy is: Enable the supported SGT propagation or mapping mechanism across the relevant transit path. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Inspect tag values at ingress and enforcement devices for a controlled endpoint flow.
  2. Generate controlled packets to router-local addresses and inspect control-plane class counters.
  3. Capture frames on the physical link and confirm encrypted MACsec data with authorized peers maintaining connectivity.
  4. Test the intended source/destination SGT pair across VLAN changes and check policy counters.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Inspect tag values at ingress and enforcement devices for a controlled endpoint flow. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: the destination SGACL treats all traffic as unknown SGT despite correct access-edge classification.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Generate controlled packets to router-local addresses and inspect control-plane class counters. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: inspect tag values at ingress and enforcement devices for a controlled endpoint flow.

C:

Question 764

A TrustSec deployment has endpoints tagged correctly at access switches, but an intermediate switch strips tags before the enforcement boundary. During troubleshooting: The destination SGACL treats all traffic as unknown SGT despite correct access-edge classification. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The Ethernet hop lacks functioning MACsec encryption despite ordinary VLAN segmentation.
  2. Data-plane interface ACL enforcement was mistaken for explicit control-plane policing.
  3. Policy was tied only to IP/VLAN placement rather than the intended TrustSec identity tags.
  4. The transit path does not carry or reconstruct security group tags to the enforcement point.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The actual technical cause is: The transit path does not carry or reconstruct security group tags to the enforcement point. It specifically explains the observation: the destination SGACL treats all traffic as unknown SGT despite correct access-edge classification. The correcting configuration is: enable the supported SGT propagation or mapping mechanism across the relevant transit path.

Here the recorded observation is: the destination SGACL treats all traffic as unknown SGT despite correct access-edge classification. The applicable cause is: the transit path does not carry or reconstruct security group tags to the enforcement point.

B:

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: the destination SGACL treats all traffic as unknown SGT despite correct access-edge classification. The applicable cause is: the transit path does not carry or reconstruct security group tags to the enforcement point.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A user moved to a new VLAN bypasses the old subnet-based segmentation policy. Here the recorded observation is: the destination SGACL treats all traffic as unknown SGT despite correct access-edge classification. The applicable cause is: the transit path does not carry or reconstruct security group tags to the enforcement point.

Question 765

A TrustSec deployment has endpoints tagged correctly at access switches, but an intermediate switch strips tags before the enforcement boundary. The initial change is: Enable the supported SGT propagation or mapping mechanism across the relevant transit path. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: The destination SGACL treats all traffic as unknown SGT despite correct access-edge classification.

  1. Audit SGT propagation when traversing mixed-capability fabric and firewalls.
  2. Review multiple boundary layers and threat logging after new application deployments.
  3. Manage MACsec keys/certificates and link compatibility during interface or optics changes.
  4. Review SGT classification and SGACL matrix assignments as identity groups change.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The continuing protective control is: Audit SGT propagation when traversing mixed-capability fabric and firewalls. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the transit path does not carry or reconstruct security group tags to the enforcement point. The corresponding operational check is: inspect tag values at ingress and enforcement devices for a controlled endpoint flow.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That control reduces a separate risk: No internal segmentation or layered threat controls protect east-west movement. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the transit path does not carry or reconstruct security group tags to the enforcement point. The specific required safeguard is: audit SGT propagation when traversing mixed-capability fabric and firewalls.

C:

That control reduces a separate risk: The Ethernet hop lacks functioning MACsec encryption despite ordinary VLAN segmentation. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: the transit path does not carry or reconstruct security group tags to the enforcement point.

Question 766

A Python script loops through device interfaces but the report lists only the last interface because a result list is overwritten on each iteration. The incident evidence is: Only interface GigabitEthernet1/0/3 appears after iterating over three interfaces. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Inspect the actual Python dictionary/list schema and access the named key appropriate to the returned structure.
  2. Wrap per-device transport calls in scoped exception handling and record failures without terminating the outer loop.
  3. Append each interface record to an accumulating list instead of reassigning the collection inside the loop.
  4. Use Python's supported JSON serializer rather than constructing escaped JSON by string concatenation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The required correction is: Append each interface record to an accumulating list instead of reassigning the collection inside the loop. The underlying failure mechanism is: The loop overwrote the result variable on every iteration rather than appending entries. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: run the script on three known interfaces and verify all three entries exist in output.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Inspecting the actual Python dictionary/list schema and access the named key appropriate to the returned structure would not address the need for append each interface record to an accumulating list.

B:

Wrap per-device transport calls in scoped exception handling and record failures without terminating the outer loop would not address the need for append each interface record to an accumulating list.

D:

Using Python's supported JSON serializer rather than constructing escaped JSON by string concatenation would not address the need for append each interface record to an accumulating list.

Question 767

A Python script loops through device interfaces but the report lists only the last interface because a result list is overwritten on each iteration. The proposed remedy is: Append each interface record to an accumulating list instead of reassigning the collection inside the loop. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Test a description containing quotes and backslashes and confirm parsed JSON recovers the original text.
  2. Run the script on three known interfaces and verify all three entries exist in output.
  3. Print or assert the parsed JSON types and retrieve the intended interface field in a test.
  4. Simulate an unreachable device between two healthy routers and confirm both healthy results appear.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Run the script on three known interfaces and verify all three entries exist in output. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: only interface GigabitEthernet1/0/3 appears after iterating over three interfaces.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Test a description containing quotes and backslashes and confirm parsed JSON recovers the original text. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: run the script on three known interfaces and verify all three entries exist in output.

Question 768

A Python script loops through device interfaces but the report lists only the last interface because a result list is overwritten on each iteration. During troubleshooting: Only interface GigabitEthernet1/0/3 appears after iterating over three interfaces. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The loop overwrote the result variable on every iteration rather than appending entries.
  2. Manual string concatenation does not correctly escape special JSON characters.
  3. The Python script assumes list indices where the decoded JSON actually uses an object mapping.
  4. The script has no per-device exception boundary around connection errors.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The actual technical cause is: The loop overwrote the result variable on every iteration rather than appending entries. It specifically explains the observation: only interface GigabitEthernet1/0/3 appears after iterating over three interfaces. The correcting configuration is: append each interface record to an accumulating list instead of reassigning the collection inside the loop.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: An otherwise valid report becomes syntactically invalid when a description includes `"` characters. Here the recorded observation is: only interface GigabitEthernet1/0/3 appears after iterating over three interfaces. The applicable cause is: the loop overwrote the result variable on every iteration rather than appending entries.

C:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A TypeError or KeyError occurs although the HTTP call returned valid JSON. Here the recorded observation is: only interface GigabitEthernet1/0/3 appears after iterating over three interfaces. The applicable cause is: the loop overwrote the result variable on every iteration rather than appending entries.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: The first timeout aborts inventory collection for every subsequent device. Here the recorded observation is: only interface GigabitEthernet1/0/3 appears after iterating over three interfaces. The applicable cause is: the loop overwrote the result variable on every iteration rather than appending entries.

Question 769

A Python script loops through device interfaces but the report lists only the last interface because a result list is overwritten on each iteration. The initial change is: Append each interface record to an accumulating list instead of reassigning the collection inside the loop. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: Only interface GigabitEthernet1/0/3 appears after iterating over three interfaces.

  1. Use small fixture inputs and assertions for multi-record parsers before production scans.
  2. Validate type/field presence when APIs change response shapes.
  3. Require serialization round-trip tests for all generated API payloads.
  4. Log exceptions with device identity and use bounded retries instead of silently suppressing all errors.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The continuing protective control is: Use small fixture inputs and assertions for multi-record parsers before production scans. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: the loop overwrote the result variable on every iteration rather than appending entries. The corresponding operational check is: run the script on three known interfaces and verify all three entries exist in output.

Question 770

An automation parses Cisco REST output but fails when trying to access `response['interfaces'][0]['name']` because the JSON returns `interfaces` as an object keyed by interface name. The incident evidence is: A TypeError or KeyError occurs although the HTTP call returned valid JSON. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Inspect the actual Python dictionary/list schema and access the named key appropriate to the returned structure.
  2. Use Python's supported JSON serializer rather than constructing escaped JSON by string concatenation.
  3. Use guarded dictionary access or explicitly handle missing serial-number fields in the parser.
  4. Append each interface record to an accumulating list instead of reassigning the collection inside the loop.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The required correction is: Inspect the actual Python dictionary/list schema and access the named key appropriate to the returned structure. The underlying failure mechanism is: The Python script assumes list indices where the decoded JSON actually uses an object mapping. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: print or assert the parsed JSON types and retrieve the intended interface field in a test.
