Cisco 350-501 Practice Test 18

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.

C:

This concern applies to BGP remote AS alignment in a different scenario where operators need to form an external BGP peering between provider and customer autonomous systems. For the deployed IS-IS IPv6 multitopology approach, the relevant caution is instead that multitopology requires consistent capabilities on intended neighbors.

D:

This concern applies to OSPF external metric distinction in a different scenario where operators need to choose between internal-cost-aware and fixed-external-cost path treatment. For the deployed IS-IS IPv6 multitopology approach, the relevant caution is instead that multitopology requires consistent capabilities on intended neighbors.

Question 171

Summit Service Provider must run IPv4 and IPv6 under a common IS-IS topology when links support both. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. IS-IS metric traffic engineering
  2. DS-Lite IPv4 transport over IPv6
  3. IS-IS single-topology coexistence
  4. BGP AS-path prepending

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

IS-IS single-topology coexistence matches this requirement: the team should configure the appropriate single-topology address-family behavior consistently. A relevant outcome would be that both address families calculate paths using the shared topology.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 run IPv4 and IPv6 under a common IS-IS topology when links support both.

B:

DS-Lite IPv4 transport over IPv6 instead addresses a different condition: carry a subscriber IPv4 service over an IPv6-only access network. It would instead require you to tunnel subscriber IPv4 packets to a provider AFTR for IPv4 address translation, not the stated goal to run IPv4 and IPv6 under a common IS-IS topology when links support both.

D:

BGP AS-path prepending instead addresses a different condition: make one advertised path less attractive to neighboring autonomous systems. It would instead require you to prepend a suitable number of the advertising AS in the outbound AS path, not the stated goal to run IPv4 and IPv6 under a common IS-IS topology when links support both.

Question 172

At Ridgeway Networks, the engineering change is approved for IS-IS single-topology coexistence. The specific goal is to run IPv4 and IPv6 under a common IS-IS topology when links support both. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Adjust supported IS-IS interface metrics to influence shortest-path computation.
  2. Tunnel subscriber IPv4 packets to a provider AFTR for IPv4 address translation.
  3. Prepend a suitable number of the advertising AS in the outbound AS path.
  4. Configure the appropriate single-topology address-family behavior consistently.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Implementing IS-IS single-topology coexistence requires the operator to configure the appropriate single-topology address-family behavior consistently. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that both address families calculate paths using the shared topology.

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 single-topology coexistence operation: configure the appropriate single-topology address-family behavior consistently.

B:

The proposed step is for DS-Lite IPv4 transport over IPv6, whose purpose is to carry a subscriber IPv4 service over an IPv6-only access network. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS single-topology coexistence operation: configure the appropriate single-topology address-family behavior consistently.

C:

The proposed step is for BGP AS-path prepending, whose purpose is to make one advertised path less attractive to neighboring autonomous systems. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS single-topology coexistence operation: configure the appropriate single-topology address-family behavior consistently.

Question 173

Lakeside Transport has deployed IS-IS single-topology coexistence to run IPv4 and IPv6 under a common IS-IS topology when links support both. The implementation step was to configure the appropriate single-topology address-family behavior consistently. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. Both address families calculate paths using the shared topology.
  2. The shortest-path cost and forwarding next hop reflect the intended links.
  3. IPv4 applications work through the IPv6 access link and AFTR service.
  4. The neighbor sees the longer intended AS path and may choose the alternate.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

For IS-IS single-topology coexistence, successful verification means that both address families calculate paths using the shared topology. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can run IPv4 and IPv6 under a common IS-IS topology when links support both after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

B:

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 single-topology coexistence result: both address families calculate paths using the shared topology.

C:

The observation would verify DS-Lite IPv4 transport over IPv6 under the separate requirement to carry a subscriber IPv4 service over an IPv6-only access network. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS single-topology coexistence result: both address families calculate paths using the shared topology.

D:

The observation would verify BGP AS-path prepending under the separate requirement to make one advertised path less attractive to neighboring autonomous systems. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS single-topology coexistence result: both address families calculate paths using the shared topology.

Question 174

While troubleshooting IS-IS single-topology coexistence at Coastal Communications, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: both address families calculate paths using the shared topology. 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. IPv6 is enabled on only part of the common SPF topology.
  3. NAT64 is substituted even though the client stack expects native IPv4 packets.
  4. Route local preference is changed within the provider expecting remote AS impact.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The suspected defect directly frustrates IS-IS single-topology coexistence: IPv6 is enabled on only part of the common SPF topology. Correcting it should allow verification that both address families calculate paths using the shared topology.

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 single-topology coexistence design in this case: IPv6 is enabled on only part of the common SPF topology.

C:

This defect belongs to DS-Lite IPv4 transport over IPv6, where the affected outcome is to carry a subscriber IPv4 service over an IPv6-only access network. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the IS-IS single-topology coexistence design in this case: IPv6 is enabled on only part of the common SPF topology.

D:

This defect belongs to BGP AS-path prepending, where the affected outcome is to make one advertised path less attractive to neighboring autonomous systems. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the IS-IS single-topology coexistence design in this case: IPv6 is enabled on only part of the common SPF topology.

Question 175

After Bluebird Infrastructure deploys IS-IS single-topology coexistence to run IPv4 and IPv6 under a common IS-IS topology when links support both, the primary acceptance check passes (both address families calculate paths using the shared topology). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Metric changes may affect many prefixes sharing the modified link.
  2. AFTR placement and tunnel MTU can affect performance.
  3. Shared topology assumes participating links can forward both families.
  4. A remote policy with higher priority than AS-path length can override prepending.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The relevant boundary of IS-IS single-topology coexistence is that shared topology assumes participating links can forward both families. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 single-topology coexistence approach, the relevant caution is instead that shared topology assumes participating links can forward both families.

B:

This concern applies to DS-Lite IPv4 transport over IPv6 in a different scenario where operators need to carry a subscriber IPv4 service over an IPv6-only access network. For the deployed IS-IS single-topology coexistence approach, the relevant caution is instead that shared topology assumes participating links can forward both families.

D:

For the deployed IS-IS single-topology coexistence approach, the relevant caution is instead that shared topology assumes participating links can forward both families.

Question 176

Horizon Exchange must keep a restarting provider router from attracting transit traffic before it converges. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. IS-IS wide metric scale
  2. BGP neighbor TCP authentication
  3. graceful restart helper coordination
  4. IS-IS startup overload safety

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

IS-IS startup overload safety matches this requirement: the team should advertise an IS-IS overload condition during startup as supported. A relevant outcome would be that neighbors avoid the recovering router as an intermediate transit path.

Incorrect Answers

A:

IS-IS wide metric scale instead addresses a different condition: use traffic-engineering metric values beyond the narrow-metric limit. It would instead require you to enable supported wide-metric processing for the provider IS-IS domain, not the stated goal to keep a restarting provider router from attracting transit traffic before it converges.

B:

BGP neighbor TCP authentication instead addresses a different condition: ensure an external BGP session establishes only with peers possessing the agreed session authentication material. It would instead require you to configure supported matching BGP neighbor TCP authentication credentials at both peers, not the stated goal to keep a restarting provider router from attracting transit traffic before it converges.

C:

graceful restart helper coordination instead addresses a different condition: allow a neighbor's control-plane restart without immediately invalidating forwarding. It would instead require you to configure compatible graceful restart roles and bounded stale-route timers, not the stated goal to keep a restarting provider router from attracting transit traffic before it converges.

Question 177

At Cedar Wireless, the engineering change is approved for IS-IS startup overload safety. The specific goal is to keep a restarting provider router from attracting transit traffic before it converges. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Advertise an IS-IS overload condition during startup as supported.
  2. Enable supported wide-metric processing for the provider IS-IS domain.
  3. Configure supported matching BGP neighbor TCP authentication credentials at both peers.
  4. Configure compatible graceful restart roles and bounded stale-route timers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Implementing IS-IS startup overload safety requires the operator to advertise an IS-IS overload condition during startup as supported. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that neighbors avoid the recovering router as an intermediate transit path.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The proposed step is for IS-IS wide metric scale, whose purpose is to use traffic-engineering metric values beyond the narrow-metric limit. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS startup overload safety operation: advertise an IS-IS overload condition during startup as supported.

C:

The proposed step is for BGP neighbor TCP authentication, whose purpose is to ensure an external BGP session establishes only with peers possessing the agreed session authentication material. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS startup overload safety operation: advertise an IS-IS overload condition during startup as supported.

D:

The proposed step is for graceful restart helper coordination, whose purpose is to allow a neighbor's control-plane restart without immediately invalidating forwarding. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS startup overload safety operation: advertise an IS-IS overload condition during startup as supported.

Question 178

Willow Regional has deployed IS-IS startup overload safety to keep a restarting provider router from attracting transit traffic before it converges. The implementation step was to advertise an IS-IS overload condition during startup as supported. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. Neighbors accept the extended metric information and compute expected SPF.
  2. Neighbors avoid the recovering router as an intermediate transit path.
  3. The BGP neighbor reaches Established only when peers use matching authentication keys.
  4. Peer routing converges while eligible forwarding state is retained temporarily.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

For IS-IS startup overload safety, successful verification means that neighbors avoid the recovering router as an intermediate transit path. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can keep a restarting provider router from attracting transit traffic before it converges after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The observation would verify IS-IS wide metric scale under the separate requirement to use traffic-engineering metric values beyond the narrow-metric limit. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS startup overload safety result: neighbors avoid the recovering router as an intermediate transit path.

C:

The observation would verify BGP neighbor TCP authentication under the separate requirement to ensure an external BGP session establishes only with peers possessing the agreed session authentication material. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS startup overload safety result: neighbors avoid the recovering router as an intermediate transit path.

D:

The observation would verify graceful restart helper coordination under the separate requirement to allow a neighbor's control-plane restart without immediately invalidating forwarding. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS startup overload safety result: neighbors avoid the recovering router as an intermediate transit path.

Question 179

While troubleshooting IS-IS startup overload safety at Atlas Backbone, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: neighbors avoid the recovering router as an intermediate transit path. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. A large metric is configured while peers process only narrow metric encoding.
  2. The BGP TCP session never establishes because neighbor authentication keys differ.
  3. The router advertises normal transit metrics before its services are ready.
  4. A stale route is treated as indefinitely valid after its helper timer expires.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The suspected defect directly frustrates IS-IS startup overload safety: the router advertises normal transit metrics before its services are ready. Correcting it should allow verification that neighbors avoid the recovering router as an intermediate transit path.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This defect belongs to IS-IS wide metric scale, where the affected outcome is to use traffic-engineering metric values beyond the narrow-metric limit. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the IS-IS startup overload safety design in this case: the router advertises normal transit metrics before its services are ready.

It is not the direct failure mode identified for the IS-IS startup overload safety design in this case: the router advertises normal transit metrics before its services are ready.

Question 180

After Starlight IP Services deploys IS-IS startup overload safety to keep a restarting provider router from attracting transit traffic before it converges, the primary acceptance check passes (neighbors avoid the recovering router as an intermediate transit path). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Mismatched metric styles can produce inconsistent path selection.
  2. Key rotation and credential synchronization must avoid unexpected peering outages.
  3. Retained stale state can blackhole traffic if underlying forwarding is broken.
  4. A prolonged overload condition reduces available core transit capacity.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The relevant boundary of IS-IS startup overload safety is that a prolonged overload condition reduces available core transit capacity. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This concern applies to IS-IS wide metric scale in a different scenario where operators need to use traffic-engineering metric values beyond the narrow-metric limit. For the deployed IS-IS startup overload safety approach, the relevant caution is instead that a prolonged overload condition reduces available core transit capacity.
