Cisco 350-501 Practice Test 16

Question 150

After Starlight IP Services deploys customer edge ACL anti-spoof to permit only delegated customer source prefixes at a provider access boundary, the primary acceptance check passes (permitted customer sources pass and nonassigned sources are denied and counted). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Strict mode can be unsuitable at asymmetrically routed provider edges.
  2. A prefix change requires a synchronized ACL update to avoid customer outage.
  3. Optical impairments are not solved by an IP reroute alone.
  4. Each transit node must support the required SRv6 behavior and MTU.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The relevant boundary of customer edge ACL anti-spoof is that a prefix change requires a synchronized ACL update to avoid customer outage. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This concern applies to strict uRPF customer check in a different scenario where operators need to block forged source addresses on a single-homed customer-facing interface. For the deployed customer edge ACL anti-spoof approach, the relevant caution is instead that a prefix change requires a synchronized ACL update to avoid customer outage.

C:

This concern applies to routed optical convergence in a different scenario where operators need to reduce layers between IP routing and transport while retaining an optical link path. For the deployed customer edge ACL anti-spoof approach, the relevant caution is instead that a prefix change requires a synchronized ACL update to avoid customer outage.

D:

This concern applies to SRv6 core path instruction in a different scenario where operators need to steer provider packets along an IPv6 segment list without MPLS label transport. For the deployed customer edge ACL anti-spoof approach, the relevant caution is instead that a prefix change requires a synchronized ACL update to avoid customer outage.

Question 151

Northstar Carrier must keep IS-IS routes within an area while preserving local Level-1 forwarding. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. IS-IS conditional default route
  2. OSPF passive customer subnet
  3. IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability
  4. OSPF duplicate router identity

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability matches this requirement: the team should configure Level-1 operation and matching area identifiers for those routers. A relevant outcome would be that a Level-1 adjacency establishes and local-area prefixes are present.

Incorrect Answers

A:

IS-IS conditional default route instead addresses a different condition: advertise a default route only under a defined service-availability condition. It would instead require you to apply default-origination with a route policy matching the required upstream state, not the stated goal to keep IS-IS routes within an area while preserving local Level-1 forwarding.

B:

OSPF passive customer subnet instead addresses a different condition: advertise an access subnet without accepting routing hellos from its subscribers. It would instead require you to configure the access interface as OSPF passive where appropriate, not the stated goal to keep IS-IS routes within an area while preserving local Level-1 forwarding.

D:

OSPF duplicate router identity instead addresses a different condition: resolve unstable OSPF database state caused by two routers sharing a router ID. It would instead require you to assign unique router IDs and restore the affected adjacencies, not the stated goal to keep IS-IS routes within an area while preserving local Level-1 forwarding.

Question 152

At Orion Transit, the engineering change is approved for IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability. The specific goal is to keep IS-IS routes within an area while preserving local Level-1 forwarding. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Apply default-origination with a route policy matching the required upstream state.
  2. Configure the access interface as OSPF passive where appropriate.
  3. Assign unique router IDs and restore the affected adjacencies.
  4. Configure Level-1 operation and matching area identifiers for those routers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Implementing IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability requires the operator to configure Level-1 operation and matching area identifiers for those routers. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that a Level-1 adjacency establishes and local-area prefixes are present.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The proposed step is for IS-IS conditional default route, whose purpose is to advertise a default route only under a defined service-availability condition. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability operation: configure Level-1 operation and matching area identifiers for those routers.

B:

The proposed step is for OSPF passive customer subnet, whose purpose is to advertise an access subnet without accepting routing hellos from its subscribers. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability operation: configure Level-1 operation and matching area identifiers for those routers.

C:

The proposed step is for OSPF duplicate router identity, whose purpose is to resolve unstable OSPF database state caused by two routers sharing a router ID. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability operation: configure Level-1 operation and matching area identifiers for those routers.

Question 153

Meridian Networks has deployed IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability to keep IS-IS routes within an area while preserving local Level-1 forwarding. The implementation step was to configure Level-1 operation and matching area identifiers for those routers. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. A Level-1 adjacency establishes and local-area prefixes are present.
  2. The default appears when upstream reachability is valid and disappears when not.
  3. The subnet is advertised but no OSPF customer adjacency forms.
  4. Each router originates unambiguous LSAs and neighbor state stabilizes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

For IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability, successful verification means that a Level-1 adjacency establishes and local-area prefixes are present. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can keep IS-IS routes within an area while preserving local Level-1 forwarding after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The observation would verify IS-IS conditional default route under the separate requirement to advertise a default route only under a defined service-availability condition. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability result: a Level-1 adjacency establishes and local-area prefixes are present.

C:

The observation would verify OSPF passive customer subnet under the separate requirement to advertise an access subnet without accepting routing hellos from its subscribers. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability result: a Level-1 adjacency establishes and local-area prefixes are present.

D:

The observation would verify OSPF duplicate router identity under the separate requirement to resolve unstable OSPF database state caused by two routers sharing a router ID. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability result: a Level-1 adjacency establishes and local-area prefixes are present.

Question 154

While troubleshooting IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability at Kestrel Broadband, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: a Level-1 adjacency establishes and local-area prefixes are present. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. Unconditional default origination persists through loss of the provider exit.
  2. The devices use different IS-IS areas and no local L1 adjacency forms.
  3. The access interface actively peers with an unauthorized CE router.
  4. IP packet MTU changes are made while router IDs still conflict.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The suspected defect directly frustrates IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability: the devices use different IS-IS areas and no local L1 adjacency forms. Correcting it should allow verification that a Level-1 adjacency establishes and local-area prefixes are present.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This defect belongs to IS-IS conditional default route, where the affected outcome is to advertise a default route only under a defined service-availability condition. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability design in this case: the devices use different IS-IS areas and no local L1 adjacency forms.

C:

This defect belongs to OSPF passive customer subnet, where the affected outcome is to advertise an access subnet without accepting routing hellos from its subscribers. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability design in this case: the devices use different IS-IS areas and no local L1 adjacency forms.

D:

It is not the direct failure mode identified for the IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability design in this case: the devices use different IS-IS areas and no local L1 adjacency forms.

Question 155

After Harbor Metro deploys IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability to keep IS-IS routes within an area while preserving local Level-1 forwarding, the primary acceptance check passes (a Level-1 adjacency establishes and local-area prefixes are present). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. The route policy must react to the chosen upstream liveness signal.
  2. A core-facing interface must not be made passive by mistake.
  3. Level-1 routing alone does not distribute routes between separate areas.
  4. Router ID changes can require process restart or adjacency reformation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The relevant boundary of IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability is that Level-1 routing alone does not distribute routes between separate areas. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This concern applies to IS-IS conditional default route in a different scenario where operators need to advertise a default route only under a defined service-availability condition. For the deployed IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability approach, the relevant caution is instead that Level-1 routing alone does not distribute routes between separate areas.

For the deployed IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability approach, the relevant caution is instead that Level-1 routing alone does not distribute routes between separate areas.

Question 156

Summit Service Provider must connect two IS-IS areas through a common Level-2 routing backbone. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. IS-IS single-topology coexistence
  2. OSPF designated router election
  3. RPL inbound AS-path policy
  4. IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange matches this requirement: the team should form Level-2 adjacencies across area-border routers and advertise reachability. A relevant outcome would be that remote-area routes appear in the Level-2 database and route table.

Incorrect Answers

A:

IS-IS single-topology coexistence instead addresses a different condition: run IPv4 and IPv6 under a common IS-IS topology when links support both. It would instead require you to configure the appropriate single-topology address-family behavior consistently, not the stated goal to connect two IS-IS areas through a common Level-2 routing backbone.

B:

OSPF designated router election instead addresses a different condition: reduce adjacency overhead on a shared broadcast Ethernet segment. It would instead require you to choose OSPF network type and DR priorities intentionally on the multiaccess network, not the stated goal to connect two IS-IS areas through a common Level-2 routing backbone.

C:

RPL inbound AS-path policy instead addresses a different condition: reject untrusted routes with prohibited AS-path characteristics. It would instead require you to attach the intended IOS XR route-policy to the BGP neighbor inbound address family, not the stated goal to connect two IS-IS areas through a common Level-2 routing backbone.

Question 157

At Ridgeway Networks, the engineering change is approved for IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange. The specific goal is to connect two IS-IS areas through a common Level-2 routing backbone. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Form Level-2 adjacencies across area-border routers and advertise reachability.
  2. Configure the appropriate single-topology address-family behavior consistently.
  3. Choose OSPF network type and DR priorities intentionally on the multiaccess network.
  4. Attach the intended IOS XR route-policy to the BGP neighbor inbound address family.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Implementing IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange requires the operator to form Level-2 adjacencies across area-border routers and advertise reachability. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that remote-area routes appear in the Level-2 database and route table.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The proposed step is for IS-IS single-topology coexistence, whose purpose is to run IPv4 and IPv6 under a common IS-IS topology when links support both. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange operation: form Level-2 adjacencies across area-border routers and advertise reachability.

Question 158

Lakeside Transport has deployed IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange to connect two IS-IS areas through a common Level-2 routing backbone. The implementation step was to form Level-2 adjacencies across area-border routers and advertise reachability. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. Both address families calculate paths using the shared topology.
  2. Remote-area routes appear in the Level-2 database and route table.
  3. The intended DR and BDR appear in OSPF neighbor and interface status.
  4. The received route table excludes paths matching the denied condition.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

For IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange, successful verification means that remote-area routes appear in the Level-2 database and route table. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can connect two IS-IS areas through a common Level-2 routing backbone after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The observation would verify IS-IS single-topology coexistence under the separate requirement to run IPv4 and IPv6 under a common IS-IS topology when links support both. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange result: remote-area routes appear in the Level-2 database and route table.

C:

It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange result: remote-area routes appear in the Level-2 database and route table.

D:

The observation would verify RPL inbound AS-path policy under the separate requirement to reject untrusted routes with prohibited AS-path characteristics. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange result: remote-area routes appear in the Level-2 database and route table.

Question 159

While troubleshooting IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange at Coastal Communications, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: remote-area routes appear in the Level-2 database and route table. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. IPv6 is enabled on only part of the common SPF topology.
  2. Point-to-point behavior is assumed for a many-router Ethernet network.
  3. Only Level-1 peering is enabled across routers with different area IDs.
  4. The policy is applied outbound and the prohibited path remains accepted.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The suspected defect directly frustrates IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange: only Level-1 peering is enabled across routers with different area IDs. Correcting it should allow verification that remote-area routes appear in the Level-2 database and route table.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This defect belongs to IS-IS single-topology coexistence, where the affected outcome is to run IPv4 and IPv6 under a common IS-IS topology when links support both.

Question 160

After Bluebird Infrastructure deploys IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange to connect two IS-IS areas through a common Level-2 routing backbone, the primary acceptance check passes (remote-area routes appear in the Level-2 database and route table). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Shared topology assumes participating links can forward both families.
  2. DR priority changes alone do not always trigger immediate reelection.
  3. Route-policy order can shadow more specific conditions.
  4. Inter-area reachability depends on continuous Level-2 connectivity.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The relevant boundary of IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange is that inter-area reachability depends on continuous Level-2 connectivity. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This concern applies to IS-IS single-topology coexistence in a different scenario where operators need to run IPv4 and IPv6 under a common IS-IS topology when links support both.
