Cisco 350-501 Practice Test 21

Question 200

After Harbor Metro deploys IS-IS authentication mismatch to recover an adjacency rejecting hello PDUs due to authentication differences, the primary acceptance check passes (authenticated hello exchanges establish a stable adjacency). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Shared topology assumes participating links can forward both families.
  2. Retained stale state can blackhole traffic if underlying forwarding is broken.
  3. EBGP policy and prefix filtering are still required after peering forms.
  4. Key rotation requires overlapping operational coordination at both peers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The relevant boundary of IS-IS authentication mismatch is that key rotation requires overlapping operational coordination at both peers. 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 authentication mismatch approach, the relevant caution is instead that key rotation requires overlapping operational coordination at both peers.

B:

This concern applies to graceful restart helper coordination in a different scenario where operators need to allow a neighbor's control-plane restart without immediately invalidating forwarding. For the deployed IS-IS authentication mismatch approach, the relevant caution is instead that key rotation requires overlapping operational coordination at both peers.

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 authentication mismatch approach, the relevant caution is instead that key rotation requires overlapping operational coordination at both peers.

Question 201

Summit Service Provider must advertise a customer-facing subnet without creating an unintended routing peer. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. IS-IS passive interface design
  2. IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability
  3. OSPF duplicate router identity
  4. BGP AS-path prepending

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

IS-IS passive interface design matches this requirement: the team should make the relevant interface passive while retaining required subnet advertisement. A relevant outcome would be that the subnet remains reachable and no neighbor adjacency forms on that access port.

Incorrect Answers

B:

IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability instead addresses a different condition: keep IS-IS routes within an area while preserving local Level-1 forwarding. It would instead require you to configure Level-1 operation and matching area identifiers for those routers, not the stated goal to advertise a customer-facing subnet without creating an unintended routing peer.

C:

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 advertise a customer-facing subnet without creating an unintended routing peer.

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 advertise a customer-facing subnet without creating an unintended routing peer.

Question 202

At Ridgeway Networks, the engineering change is approved for IS-IS passive interface design. The specific goal is to advertise a customer-facing subnet without creating an unintended routing peer. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Configure Level-1 operation and matching area identifiers for those routers.
  2. Make the relevant interface passive while retaining required subnet advertisement.
  3. Assign unique router IDs and restore the affected adjacencies.
  4. Prepend a suitable number of the advertising AS in the outbound AS path.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Implementing IS-IS passive interface design requires the operator to make the relevant interface passive while retaining required subnet advertisement. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that the subnet remains reachable and no neighbor adjacency forms on that access port.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The proposed step is for IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability, whose purpose is to keep IS-IS routes within an area while preserving local Level-1 forwarding. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS passive interface design operation: make the relevant interface passive while retaining required subnet advertisement.

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 passive interface design operation: make the relevant interface passive while retaining required subnet advertisement.

D:

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 passive interface design operation: make the relevant interface passive while retaining required subnet advertisement.

Question 203

Lakeside Transport has deployed IS-IS passive interface design to advertise a customer-facing subnet without creating an unintended routing peer. The implementation step was to make the relevant interface passive while retaining required subnet advertisement. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. A Level-1 adjacency establishes and local-area prefixes are present.
  2. Each router originates unambiguous LSAs and neighbor state stabilizes.
  3. The subnet remains reachable and no neighbor adjacency forms on that access port.
  4. The neighbor sees the longer intended AS path and may choose the alternate.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

For IS-IS passive interface design, successful verification means that the subnet remains reachable and no neighbor adjacency forms on that access port. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can advertise a customer-facing subnet without creating an unintended routing peer after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The observation would verify IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability under the separate requirement to keep IS-IS routes within an area while preserving local Level-1 forwarding. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS passive interface design result: the subnet remains reachable and no neighbor adjacency forms on that access port.

B:

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 passive interface design result: the subnet remains reachable and no neighbor adjacency forms on that access port.

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 passive interface design result: the subnet remains reachable and no neighbor adjacency forms on that access port.

Question 204

While troubleshooting IS-IS passive interface design at Coastal Communications, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: the subnet remains reachable and no neighbor adjacency forms on that access port. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. The devices use different IS-IS areas and no local L1 adjacency forms.
  2. IP packet MTU changes are made while router IDs still conflict.
  3. Route local preference is changed within the provider expecting remote AS impact.
  4. Hello packets still create adjacency with an untrusted customer router.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The suspected defect directly frustrates IS-IS passive interface design: hello packets still create adjacency with an untrusted customer router. Correcting it should allow verification that the subnet remains reachable and no neighbor adjacency forms on that access port.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This defect belongs to IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability, where the affected outcome is to keep IS-IS routes within an area while preserving local Level-1 forwarding. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the IS-IS passive interface design design in this case: hello packets still create adjacency with an untrusted customer router.

B:

This defect belongs to OSPF duplicate router identity, where the affected outcome is to resolve unstable OSPF database state caused by two routers sharing a router ID. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the IS-IS passive interface design design in this case: hello packets still create adjacency with an untrusted customer router.

C:

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 passive interface design design in this case: hello packets still create adjacency with an untrusted customer router.

Question 205

After Bluebird Infrastructure deploys IS-IS passive interface design to advertise a customer-facing subnet without creating an unintended routing peer, the primary acceptance check passes (the subnet remains reachable and no neighbor adjacency forms on that access port). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Passive treatment must not be applied to a link needed for core routing.
  2. Level-1 routing alone does not distribute routes between separate areas.
  3. Router ID changes can require process restart or adjacency reformation.
  4. A remote policy with higher priority than AS-path length can override prepending.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The relevant boundary of IS-IS passive interface design is that passive treatment must not be applied to a link needed for core routing. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This concern applies to IS-IS level-1 local-area reachability in a different scenario where operators need to keep IS-IS routes within an area while preserving local Level-1 forwarding. For the deployed IS-IS passive interface design approach, the relevant caution is instead that passive treatment must not be applied to a link needed for core routing.

C:

For the deployed IS-IS passive interface design approach, the relevant caution is instead that passive treatment must not be applied to a link needed for core routing.

D:

For the deployed IS-IS passive interface design approach, the relevant caution is instead that passive treatment must not be applied to a link needed for core routing.

Question 206

Horizon Exchange must carry a newly connected backbone subnet in the correct IS-IS address family. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange
  2. IS-IS IPv4 route advertisement
  3. BGP max-prefix protection
  4. BGP next-hop-self internal reachability

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

IS-IS IPv4 route advertisement matches this requirement: the team should enable IPv4 unicast participation on the routing instance and intended interface. A relevant outcome would be that the subnet is present in the correct link-state and routing databases.

Incorrect Answers

A:

IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange instead addresses a different condition: connect two IS-IS areas through a common Level-2 routing backbone. It would instead require you to form Level-2 adjacencies across area-border routers and advertise reachability, not the stated goal to carry a newly connected backbone subnet in the correct IS-IS address family.

C:

BGP max-prefix protection instead addresses a different condition: protect a provider edge from a customer's sudden route-table explosion. It would instead require you to configure an appropriate maximum-prefix threshold and response for the neighbor, not the stated goal to carry a newly connected backbone subnet in the correct IS-IS address family.

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 carry a newly connected backbone subnet in the correct IS-IS address family.

Question 207

At Cedar Wireless, the engineering change is approved for IS-IS IPv4 route advertisement. The specific goal is to carry a newly connected backbone subnet in the correct IS-IS address family. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Form Level-2 adjacencies across area-border routers and advertise reachability.
  2. Configure an appropriate maximum-prefix threshold and response for the neighbor.
  3. Enable IPv4 unicast participation on the routing instance and intended interface.
  4. Set the correct next-hop attribute on the iBGP advertisement boundary.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Implementing IS-IS IPv4 route advertisement requires the operator to enable IPv4 unicast participation on the routing instance and intended interface. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that the subnet is present in the correct link-state and routing databases.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The proposed step is for IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange, whose purpose is to connect two IS-IS areas through a common Level-2 routing backbone. It would not perform the necessary IS-IS IPv4 route advertisement operation: enable IPv4 unicast participation on the routing instance and intended interface.

It would not perform the necessary IS-IS IPv4 route advertisement operation: enable IPv4 unicast participation on the routing instance and intended interface.

D:

It would not perform the necessary IS-IS IPv4 route advertisement operation: enable IPv4 unicast participation on the routing instance and intended interface.

Question 208

Willow Regional has deployed IS-IS IPv4 route advertisement to carry a newly connected backbone subnet in the correct IS-IS address family. The implementation step was to enable IPv4 unicast participation on the routing instance and intended interface. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. Remote-area routes appear in the Level-2 database and route table.
  2. Accepted route counts stay within the agreed limit and alerts trigger near it.
  3. Internal peers install the route using a reachable provider next hop.
  4. The subnet is present in the correct link-state and routing databases.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

For IS-IS IPv4 route advertisement, successful verification means that the subnet is present in the correct link-state and routing databases. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can carry a newly connected backbone subnet in the correct IS-IS address family after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The observation would verify IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange under the separate requirement to connect two IS-IS areas through a common Level-2 routing backbone. It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS IPv4 route advertisement result: the subnet is present in the correct link-state and routing databases.

B:

It does not demonstrate the needed IS-IS IPv4 route advertisement result: the subnet is present in the correct link-state and routing databases.

Question 209

While troubleshooting IS-IS IPv4 route advertisement at Atlas Backbone, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: the subnet is present in the correct link-state and routing databases. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. The interface runs only an IPv6 address family although an IPv4 route is needed.
  2. Only Level-1 peering is enabled across routers with different area IDs.
  3. A customer advertises uncontrolled routes until the router runs short of memory.
  4. The original eBGP next hop remains unreachable inside the provider core.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The suspected defect directly frustrates IS-IS IPv4 route advertisement: the interface runs only an IPv6 address family although an IPv4 route is needed. Correcting it should allow verification that the subnet is present in the correct link-state and routing databases.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This defect belongs to IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange, where the affected outcome is to connect two IS-IS areas through a common Level-2 routing backbone.

Question 210

After Starlight IP Services deploys IS-IS IPv4 route advertisement to carry a newly connected backbone subnet in the correct IS-IS address family, the primary acceptance check passes (the subnet is present in the correct link-state and routing databases). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Inter-area reachability depends on continuous Level-2 connectivity.
  2. The advertising router must have a valid corresponding connected prefix.
  3. Thresholds need allowance for normal growth and backup-route variation.
  4. The chosen next hop must itself be redundantly reachable by the IGP.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The relevant boundary of IS-IS IPv4 route advertisement is that the advertising router must have a valid corresponding connected prefix. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This concern applies to IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange in a different scenario where operators need to connect two IS-IS areas through a common Level-2 routing backbone.
