Cisco 350-501 Practice Test 11

Question 100

After Bluebird Infrastructure deploys LDP authentication scope to authenticate label-distribution sessions with a neighboring label switching router, the primary acceptance check passes (the targeted LDP session becomes established with valid authentication). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. A routing or tunnel hop change may require revisiting TTL expectations.
  2. Provider handoff QoS and fault domains remain subject to the service contract.
  3. Shared access scheduling can become the capacity bottleneck.
  4. Authentication does not replace MPLS forwarding-plane isolation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The relevant boundary of LDP authentication scope is that authentication does not replace MPLS forwarding-plane isolation. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This concern applies to BGP TTL security in a different scenario where operators need to reduce acceptance of spoofed multihop BGP control packets on an adjacent peering. For the deployed LDP authentication scope approach, the relevant caution is instead that authentication does not replace MPLS forwarding-plane isolation.

B:

This concern applies to metro Ethernet E-Line isolation in a different scenario where operators need to link exactly two customer sites with a point-to-point Ethernet service. For the deployed LDP authentication scope approach, the relevant caution is instead that authentication does not replace MPLS forwarding-plane isolation.

C:

This concern applies to PON access contention in a different scenario where operators need to attach residential endpoints over a shared passive optical access tree. For the deployed LDP authentication scope approach, the relevant caution is instead that authentication does not replace MPLS forwarding-plane isolation.

Question 101

Horizon Exchange must distribute narrowly scoped traffic-filtering rules to mitigate a specific attack flow. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. BGP FlowSpec filtering
  2. BGP TTL security
  3. IOS XR routing policy evaluation
  4. IOS XE API exposure

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

BGP FlowSpec filtering matches this requirement: the team should publish and validate BGP FlowSpec NLRI through a trusted mitigation policy. A relevant outcome would be that only the specified malicious flow characteristics match and receive the mitigating action.

Incorrect Answers

B:

BGP TTL security instead addresses a different condition: reduce acceptance of spoofed multihop BGP control packets on an adjacent peering. It would instead require you to configure the generalized TTL security mechanism with the peer's expected hop distance, not the stated goal to distribute narrowly scoped traffic-filtering rules to mitigate a specific attack flow.

C:

IOS XR routing policy evaluation instead addresses a different condition: apply complex IOS XR BGP attribute filters without IOS route-map syntax assumptions. It would instead require you to define a route-policy in the IOS XR routing policy language and attach it at the correct BGP direction, not the stated goal to distribute narrowly scoped traffic-filtering rules to mitigate a specific attack flow.

D:

IOS XE API exposure instead addresses a different condition: manage an IOS XE device using a YANG-aware HTTP interface. It would instead require you to enable the required HTTPS and RESTCONF services with scoped access control, not the stated goal to distribute narrowly scoped traffic-filtering rules to mitigate a specific attack flow.

Question 102

At Cedar Wireless, the engineering change is approved for BGP FlowSpec filtering. The specific goal is to distribute narrowly scoped traffic-filtering rules to mitigate a specific attack flow. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Configure the generalized TTL security mechanism with the peer's expected hop distance.
  2. Publish and validate BGP FlowSpec NLRI through a trusted mitigation policy.
  3. Define a route-policy in the IOS XR routing policy language and attach it at the correct BGP direction.
  4. Enable the required HTTPS and RESTCONF services with scoped access control.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Implementing BGP FlowSpec filtering requires the operator to publish and validate BGP FlowSpec NLRI through a trusted mitigation policy. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that only the specified malicious flow characteristics match and receive the mitigating action.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The proposed step is for BGP TTL security, whose purpose is to reduce acceptance of spoofed multihop BGP control packets on an adjacent peering. It would not perform the necessary BGP FlowSpec filtering operation: publish and validate BGP FlowSpec NLRI through a trusted mitigation policy.

C:

The proposed step is for IOS XR routing policy evaluation, whose purpose is to apply complex IOS XR BGP attribute filters without IOS route-map syntax assumptions. It would not perform the necessary BGP FlowSpec filtering operation: publish and validate BGP FlowSpec NLRI through a trusted mitigation policy.

D:

The proposed step is for IOS XE API exposure, whose purpose is to manage an IOS XE device using a YANG-aware HTTP interface. It would not perform the necessary BGP FlowSpec filtering operation: publish and validate BGP FlowSpec NLRI through a trusted mitigation policy.

Question 103

Willow Regional has deployed BGP FlowSpec filtering to distribute narrowly scoped traffic-filtering rules to mitigate a specific attack flow. The implementation step was to publish and validate BGP FlowSpec NLRI through a trusted mitigation policy. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. BGP establishes only when the arriving packet TTL meets the chosen hop bound.
  2. Advertised or accepted prefixes follow the route-policy match and set clauses.
  3. Only the specified malicious flow characteristics match and receive the mitigating action.
  4. The authenticated client retrieves the desired YANG-backed data resource.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

For BGP FlowSpec filtering, successful verification means that only the specified malicious flow characteristics match and receive the mitigating action. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can distribute narrowly scoped traffic-filtering rules to mitigate a specific attack flow after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The observation would verify BGP TTL security under the separate requirement to reduce acceptance of spoofed multihop BGP control packets on an adjacent peering. It does not demonstrate the needed BGP FlowSpec filtering result: only the specified malicious flow characteristics match and receive the mitigating action.

B:

The observation would verify IOS XR routing policy evaluation under the separate requirement to apply complex IOS XR BGP attribute filters without IOS route-map syntax assumptions. It does not demonstrate the needed BGP FlowSpec filtering result: only the specified malicious flow characteristics match and receive the mitigating action.

D:

The observation would verify IOS XE API exposure under the separate requirement to manage an IOS XE device using a YANG-aware HTTP interface. It does not demonstrate the needed BGP FlowSpec filtering result: only the specified malicious flow characteristics match and receive the mitigating action.

Question 104

While troubleshooting BGP FlowSpec filtering at Atlas Backbone, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: only the specified malicious flow characteristics match and receive the mitigating action. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. The peer sends TTL values below the GTSM threshold and the session stays down.
  2. A policy is defined in the global database but never attached to a peer.
  3. The RESTCONF client is ready but device HTTP services are disabled.
  4. An overly broad FlowSpec rule discards legitimate customer flows.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The suspected defect directly frustrates BGP FlowSpec filtering: an overly broad FlowSpec rule discards legitimate customer flows. Correcting it should allow verification that only the specified malicious flow characteristics match and receive the mitigating action.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This defect belongs to BGP TTL security, where the affected outcome is to reduce acceptance of spoofed multihop BGP control packets on an adjacent peering. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the BGP FlowSpec filtering design in this case: an overly broad FlowSpec rule discards legitimate customer flows.

B:

This defect belongs to IOS XR routing policy evaluation, where the affected outcome is to apply complex IOS XR BGP attribute filters without IOS route-map syntax assumptions. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the BGP FlowSpec filtering design in this case: an overly broad FlowSpec rule discards legitimate customer flows.

C:

This defect belongs to IOS XE API exposure, where the affected outcome is to manage an IOS XE device using a YANG-aware HTTP interface. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the BGP FlowSpec filtering design in this case: an overly broad FlowSpec rule discards legitimate customer flows.

Question 105

After Starlight IP Services deploys BGP FlowSpec filtering to distribute narrowly scoped traffic-filtering rules to mitigate a specific attack flow, the primary acceptance check passes (only the specified malicious flow characteristics match and receive the mitigating action). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Policy validation and rule precedence are essential to avoid outages.
  2. A routing or tunnel hop change may require revisiting TTL expectations.
  3. Wrong policy attachment direction can still drop legitimate routes.
  4. Platform and release feature support must be checked before automation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The relevant boundary of BGP FlowSpec filtering is that policy validation and rule precedence are essential to avoid outages. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This concern applies to BGP TTL security in a different scenario where operators need to reduce acceptance of spoofed multihop BGP control packets on an adjacent peering. For the deployed BGP FlowSpec filtering approach, the relevant caution is instead that policy validation and rule precedence are essential to avoid outages.

C:

For the deployed BGP FlowSpec filtering approach, the relevant caution is instead that policy validation and rule precedence are essential to avoid outages.

Question 106

Northstar Carrier must detect unauthorized alteration of the AS-path sequence for supported interdomain routes. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. control-plane punt protection
  2. BGPsec AS path integrity
  3. routed optical convergence
  4. management API certificate trust

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

BGPsec AS path integrity matches this requirement: the team should apply BGPsec origin and path-validation procedures where neighbor capabilities permit. A relevant outcome would be that signature validation status reflects the protected AS-path advertisement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

control-plane punt protection instead addresses a different condition: limit exception traffic that can consume service-provider routing CPU. It would instead require you to apply CoPP or IOS XR LPTS punt policing to selected control-plane classes, not the stated goal to detect unauthorized alteration of the AS-path sequence for supported interdomain routes.

C:

routed optical convergence instead addresses a different condition: reduce layers between IP routing and transport while retaining an optical link path. It would instead require you to design routed-optical coherent optics with layer-3 routing over the provisioned optical channel, not the stated goal to detect unauthorized alteration of the AS-path sequence for supported interdomain routes.

D:

management API certificate trust instead addresses a different condition: protect provider management APIs from accepting an untrusted endpoint. It would instead require you to enforce TLS peer authentication and certificate-chain validation at the automation client, not the stated goal to detect unauthorized alteration of the AS-path sequence for supported interdomain routes.

Question 107

At Orion Transit, the engineering change is approved for BGPsec AS path integrity. The specific goal is to detect unauthorized alteration of the AS-path sequence for supported interdomain routes. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Apply CoPP or IOS XR LPTS punt policing to selected control-plane classes.
  2. Design routed-optical coherent optics with layer-3 routing over the provisioned optical channel.
  3. Apply BGPsec origin and path-validation procedures where neighbor capabilities permit.
  4. Enforce TLS peer authentication and certificate-chain validation at the automation client.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Implementing BGPsec AS path integrity requires the operator to apply BGPsec origin and path-validation procedures where neighbor capabilities permit. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that signature validation status reflects the protected AS-path advertisement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The proposed step is for control-plane punt protection, whose purpose is to limit exception traffic that can consume service-provider routing CPU. It would not perform the necessary BGPsec AS path integrity operation: apply BGPsec origin and path-validation procedures where neighbor capabilities permit.

B:

The proposed step is for routed optical convergence, whose purpose is to reduce layers between IP routing and transport while retaining an optical link path. It would not perform the necessary BGPsec AS path integrity operation: apply BGPsec origin and path-validation procedures where neighbor capabilities permit.

D:

It would not perform the necessary BGPsec AS path integrity operation: apply BGPsec origin and path-validation procedures where neighbor capabilities permit.

Question 108

Meridian Networks has deployed BGPsec AS path integrity to detect unauthorized alteration of the AS-path sequence for supported interdomain routes. The implementation step was to apply BGPsec origin and path-validation procedures where neighbor capabilities permit. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. Normal protocol adjacencies remain stable while excess punts are counted or dropped.
  2. Router adjacency and coherent optical performance counters confirm end-to-end operation.
  3. An invalid remote certificate fails before configuration data are exchanged.
  4. Signature validation status reflects the protected AS-path advertisement.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

For BGPsec AS path integrity, successful verification means that signature validation status reflects the protected AS-path advertisement. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can detect unauthorized alteration of the AS-path sequence for supported interdomain routes after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The observation would verify control-plane punt protection under the separate requirement to limit exception traffic that can consume service-provider routing CPU. It does not demonstrate the needed BGPsec AS path integrity result: signature validation status reflects the protected AS-path advertisement.

B:

The observation would verify routed optical convergence under the separate requirement to reduce layers between IP routing and transport while retaining an optical link path. It does not demonstrate the needed BGPsec AS path integrity result: signature validation status reflects the protected AS-path advertisement.

C:

The observation would verify management API certificate trust under the separate requirement to protect provider management APIs from accepting an untrusted endpoint. It does not demonstrate the needed BGPsec AS path integrity result: signature validation status reflects the protected AS-path advertisement.

Question 109

While troubleshooting BGPsec AS path integrity at Kestrel Broadband, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: signature validation status reflects the protected AS-path advertisement. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. A conventional unsigned BGP route is assumed cryptographically path-protected.
  2. A data-plane ACL is changed but high-rate routing-CPU punts remain unrestricted.
  3. The transponder terminates optical traffic but no IP adjacency exists.
  4. The script disables TLS verification to make a lab request succeed.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The suspected defect directly frustrates BGPsec AS path integrity: a conventional unsigned BGP route is assumed cryptographically path-protected. Correcting it should allow verification that signature validation status reflects the protected AS-path advertisement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This defect belongs to control-plane punt protection, where the affected outcome is to limit exception traffic that can consume service-provider routing CPU. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the BGPsec AS path integrity design in this case: a conventional unsigned BGP route is assumed cryptographically path-protected.

Question 110

After Harbor Metro deploys BGPsec AS path integrity to detect unauthorized alteration of the AS-path sequence for supported interdomain routes, the primary acceptance check passes (signature validation status reflects the protected AS-path advertisement). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Too aggressive policing can suppress legitimate routing control packets.
  2. Deployment depends on compatible peers and public-key infrastructure.
  3. Optical impairments are not solved by an IP reroute alone.
  4. Certificate rollover must be coordinated to prevent management outages.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The relevant boundary of BGPsec AS path integrity is that deployment depends on compatible peers and public-key infrastructure. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This concern applies to control-plane punt protection in a different scenario where operators need to limit exception traffic that can consume service-provider routing CPU. For the deployed BGPsec AS path integrity approach, the relevant caution is instead that deployment depends on compatible peers and public-key infrastructure.
