Cisco 350-501 Practice Test 17

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. For the deployed IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange approach, the relevant caution is instead that inter-area reachability depends on continuous Level-2 connectivity.

B:

This concern applies to OSPF designated router election in a different scenario where operators need to reduce adjacency overhead on a shared broadcast Ethernet segment. For the deployed IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange approach, the relevant caution is instead that inter-area reachability depends on continuous Level-2 connectivity.

C:

This concern applies to RPL inbound AS-path policy in a different scenario where operators need to reject untrusted routes with prohibited AS-path characteristics. For the deployed IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange approach, the relevant caution is instead that inter-area reachability depends on continuous Level-2 connectivity.

Question 161

Horizon Exchange must ensure two routers in the same IS-IS domain have distinct system identifiers. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. IS-IS NET system identity
  2. IS-IS metric traffic engineering
  3. BGP graceful restart forwarding retention
  4. BGP next-hop-self internal reachability

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

IS-IS NET system identity matches this requirement: the team should assign each instance a unique six-octet system ID in its network entity title. A relevant outcome would be that adjacency and database output show separate stable system identities.

Incorrect Answers

B:

IS-IS metric traffic engineering instead addresses a different condition: prefer a lower-cost IGP path without changing BGP administrative preferences. It would instead require you to adjust supported IS-IS interface metrics to influence shortest-path computation, not the stated goal to ensure two routers in the same IS-IS domain have distinct system identifiers.

C:

BGP graceful restart forwarding retention instead addresses a different condition: retain eligible forwarding state briefly while the BGP control process restarts. It would instead require you to configure BGP graceful restart with compatible helper behavior and timers, not the stated goal to ensure two routers in the same IS-IS domain have distinct system identifiers.

D:

BGP next-hop-self internal reachability instead addresses a different condition: repair iBGP route reception when the external next hop cannot be resolved internally. It would instead require you to set the correct next-hop attribute on the iBGP advertisement boundary, not the stated goal to ensure two routers in the same IS-IS domain have distinct system identifiers.

Question 162

At Cedar Wireless, the engineering change is approved for IS-IS NET system identity. The specific goal is to ensure two routers in the same IS-IS domain have distinct system identifiers. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Adjust supported IS-IS interface metrics to influence shortest-path computation.
  2. Assign each instance a unique six-octet system ID in its network entity title.
  3. Configure BGP graceful restart with compatible helper behavior and timers.
  4. Set the correct next-hop attribute on the iBGP advertisement boundary.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Implementing IS-IS NET system identity requires the operator to assign each instance a unique six-octet system ID in its network entity title. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that adjacency and database output show separate stable system identities.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The proposed step is for IS-IS metric traffic engineering, whose purpose is to prefer a lower-cost IGP path without changing BGP administrative preferences. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS NET system identity operation: assign each instance a unique six-octet system ID in its network entity title.

C:

The proposed step is for BGP graceful restart forwarding retention, whose purpose is to retain eligible forwarding state briefly while the BGP control process restarts. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS NET system identity operation: assign each instance a unique six-octet system ID in its network entity title.

D:

The proposed step is for BGP next-hop-self internal reachability, whose purpose is to repair iBGP route reception when the external next hop cannot be resolved internally. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS NET system identity operation: assign each instance a unique six-octet system ID in its network entity title.

Question 163

Willow Regional has deployed IS-IS NET system identity to ensure two routers in the same IS-IS domain have distinct system identifiers. The implementation step was to assign each instance a unique six-octet system ID in its network entity title. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. The shortest-path cost and forwarding next hop reflect the intended links.
  2. Forwarding remains stable while control-plane sessions reestablish within the hold window.
  3. Adjacency and database output show separate stable system identities.
  4. Internal peers install the route using a reachable provider next hop.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

For IS-IS NET system identity, successful verification means that adjacency and database output show separate stable system identities. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can ensure two routers in the same IS-IS domain have distinct system identifiers after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The observation would verify IS-IS metric traffic engineering under the separate requirement to prefer a lower-cost IGP path without changing BGP administrative preferences. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS NET system identity result: adjacency and database output show separate stable system identities.

B:

The observation would verify BGP graceful restart forwarding retention under the separate requirement to retain eligible forwarding state briefly while the BGP control process restarts. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS NET system identity result: adjacency and database output show separate stable system identities.

D:

The observation would verify BGP next-hop-self internal reachability under the separate requirement to repair iBGP route reception when the external next hop cannot be resolved internally. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS NET system identity result: adjacency and database output show separate stable system identities.

Question 164

While troubleshooting IS-IS NET system identity at Atlas Backbone, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: adjacency and database output show separate stable system identities. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. BGP local preference is changed for a route controlled solely by IS-IS metrics.
  2. All forwarding routes are withdrawn immediately despite expected graceful restart support.
  3. The original eBGP next hop remains unreachable inside the provider core.
  4. Two routers reuse the identical NET system ID and topology records collide.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The suspected defect directly frustrates IS-IS NET system identity: two routers reuse the identical NET system ID and topology records collide. Correcting it should allow verification that adjacency and database output show separate stable system identities.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This defect belongs to IS-IS metric traffic engineering, where the affected outcome is to prefer a lower-cost IGP path without changing BGP administrative preferences. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the IS-IS NET system identity design in this case: two routers reuse the identical NET system ID and topology records collide.

B:

This defect belongs to BGP graceful restart forwarding retention, where the affected outcome is to retain eligible forwarding state briefly while the BGP control process restarts. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the IS-IS NET system identity design in this case: two routers reuse the identical NET system ID and topology records collide.

C:

This defect belongs to BGP next-hop-self internal reachability, where the affected outcome is to repair iBGP route reception when the external next hop cannot be resolved internally. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the IS-IS NET system identity design in this case: two routers reuse the identical NET system ID and topology records collide.

Question 165

After Starlight IP Services deploys IS-IS NET system identity to ensure two routers in the same IS-IS domain have distinct system identifiers, the primary acceptance check passes (adjacency and database output show separate stable system identities). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Multiple NET area addresses on one router must keep its system ID consistent.
  2. Metric changes may affect many prefixes sharing the modified link.
  3. Stale forwarding state expires and must not hide permanent reachability loss.
  4. The chosen next hop must itself be redundantly reachable by the IGP.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The relevant boundary of IS-IS NET system identity is that multiple NET area addresses on one router must keep its system ID consistent. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This concern applies to IS-IS metric traffic engineering in a different scenario where operators need to prefer a lower-cost IGP path without changing BGP administrative preferences. For the deployed IS-IS NET system identity approach, the relevant caution is instead that multiple NET area addresses on one router must keep its system ID consistent.

C:

For the deployed IS-IS NET system identity approach, the relevant caution is instead that multiple NET area addresses on one router must keep its system ID consistent.

D:

This concern applies to BGP next-hop-self internal reachability in a different scenario where operators need to repair iBGP route reception when the external next hop cannot be resolved internally. For the deployed IS-IS NET system identity approach, the relevant caution is instead that multiple NET area addresses on one router must keep its system ID consistent.

Question 166

Northstar Carrier must advertise IPv6 links whose topology differs from the IPv4 forwarding graph. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. IS-IS conditional default route
  2. IS-IS IPv6 multitopology
  3. BGP remote AS alignment
  4. OSPF external metric distinction

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

IS-IS IPv6 multitopology matches this requirement: the team should enable the supported multitopology IS-IS IPv6 address-family behavior. A relevant outcome would be that IPv6 SPF sees its own valid link participation and reachability.

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 advertise IPv6 links whose topology differs from the IPv4 forwarding graph.

C:

BGP remote AS alignment instead addresses a different condition: form an external BGP peering between provider and customer autonomous systems. It would instead require you to configure each peer with the other's correct remote AS and IP reachability, not the stated goal to advertise IPv6 links whose topology differs from the IPv4 forwarding graph.

D:

OSPF external metric distinction instead addresses a different condition: choose between internal-cost-aware and fixed-external-cost path treatment. It would instead require you to apply the required OSPF external metric type under the redistribution policy, not the stated goal to advertise IPv6 links whose topology differs from the IPv4 forwarding graph.

Question 167

At Orion Transit, the engineering change is approved for IS-IS IPv6 multitopology. The specific goal is to advertise IPv6 links whose topology differs from the IPv4 forwarding graph. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Apply default-origination with a route policy matching the required upstream state.
  2. Configure each peer with the other's correct remote AS and IP reachability.
  3. Enable the supported multitopology IS-IS IPv6 address-family behavior.
  4. Apply the required OSPF external metric type under the redistribution policy.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Implementing IS-IS IPv6 multitopology requires the operator to enable the supported multitopology IS-IS IPv6 address-family behavior. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that IPv6 SPF sees its own valid link participation and reachability.

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 IPv6 multitopology operation: enable the supported multitopology IS-IS IPv6 address-family behavior.

B:

The proposed step is for BGP remote AS alignment, whose purpose is to form an external BGP peering between provider and customer autonomous systems. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS IPv6 multitopology operation: enable the supported multitopology IS-IS IPv6 address-family behavior.

D:

The proposed step is for OSPF external metric distinction, whose purpose is to choose between internal-cost-aware and fixed-external-cost path treatment. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS IPv6 multitopology operation: enable the supported multitopology IS-IS IPv6 address-family behavior.

Question 168

Meridian Networks has deployed IS-IS IPv6 multitopology to advertise IPv6 links whose topology differs from the IPv4 forwarding graph. The implementation step was to enable the supported multitopology IS-IS IPv6 address-family behavior. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. The default appears when upstream reachability is valid and disappears when not.
  2. The BGP finite state machine reaches Established and routes exchange under policy.
  3. External path selection follows the declared Type-1 or Type-2 cost behavior.
  4. IPv6 SPF sees its own valid link participation and reachability.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

For IS-IS IPv6 multitopology, successful verification means that IPv6 SPF sees its own valid link participation and reachability. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can advertise IPv6 links whose topology differs from the IPv4 forwarding graph after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 IPv6 multitopology result: IPv6 SPF sees its own valid link participation and reachability.

B:

The observation would verify BGP remote AS alignment under the separate requirement to form an external BGP peering between provider and customer autonomous systems. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS IPv6 multitopology result: IPv6 SPF sees its own valid link participation and reachability.

C:

The observation would verify OSPF external metric distinction under the separate requirement to choose between internal-cost-aware and fixed-external-cost path treatment. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS IPv6 multitopology result: IPv6 SPF sees its own valid link participation and reachability.

Question 169

While troubleshooting IS-IS IPv6 multitopology at Kestrel Broadband, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: IPv6 SPF sees its own valid link participation and reachability. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. Single-topology IPv6 is forced through a link lacking IPv6 support.
  2. Unconditional default origination persists through loss of the provider exit.
  3. A neighbor is configured with the provider's local AS instead of the customer AS.
  4. A Type-2 advertisement is assumed to accumulate internal cost like Type-1.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The suspected defect directly frustrates IS-IS IPv6 multitopology: single-topology IPv6 is forced through a link lacking IPv6 support. Correcting it should allow verification that IPv6 SPF sees its own valid link participation and reachability.

Incorrect Answers

B:

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 IPv6 multitopology design in this case: single-topology IPv6 is forced through a link lacking IPv6 support.

It is not the direct failure mode identified for the IS-IS IPv6 multitopology design in this case: single-topology IPv6 is forced through a link lacking IPv6 support.

Question 170

After Harbor Metro deploys IS-IS IPv6 multitopology to advertise IPv6 links whose topology differs from the IPv4 forwarding graph, the primary acceptance check passes (IPv6 SPF sees its own valid link participation and reachability). 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. Multitopology requires consistent capabilities on intended neighbors.
  3. EBGP policy and prefix filtering are still required after peering forms.
  4. External-metric design needs consistency to avoid unexpected provider exits.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The relevant boundary of IS-IS IPv6 multitopology is that multitopology requires consistent capabilities on intended neighbors. 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 IPv6 multitopology approach, the relevant caution is instead that multitopology requires consistent capabilities on intended neighbors.
