Cisco 350-501 Practice Test 25

Question 240

After Starlight IP Services deploys OSPF stub area constraint to limit Type-5 external LSAs within a supported stub area, the primary acceptance check passes (the stub area uses required default routing without external Type-5 LSAs). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. More aggressive timers can increase false neighbor failures during congestion.
  2. Metric changes may affect many prefixes sharing the modified link.
  3. The area correction may affect summarization and route propagation.
  4. A stub area cannot independently host an ordinary ASBR advertising externals.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The relevant boundary of OSPF stub area constraint is that a stub area cannot independently host an ordinary ASBR advertising externals. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This concern applies to OSPF hello dead timer mismatch in a different scenario where operators need to repair a failed OSPF neighbor relationship caused by unequal hello or dead intervals. For the deployed OSPF stub area constraint approach, the relevant caution is instead that a stub area cannot independently host an ordinary ASBR advertising externals.

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 OSPF stub area constraint approach, the relevant caution is instead that a stub area cannot independently host an ordinary ASBR advertising externals.

C:

This concern applies to OSPF area mismatch diagnosis in a different scenario where operators need to recover adjacency on a link whose routers are configured in different areas. For the deployed OSPF stub area constraint approach, the relevant caution is instead that a stub area cannot independently host an ordinary ASBR advertising externals.

Question 241

Northstar Carrier must allow controlled external-route origination inside an NSSA area. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. OSPF NSSA external translation
  2. OSPF passive customer subnet
  3. BGP community tagging policy
  4. IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

OSPF NSSA external translation matches this requirement: the team should configure NSSA behavior with appropriate Type-7 origination and translation at the border. A relevant outcome would be that NSSA-originated routes are visible as correct Type-7 and translated external reachability.

Incorrect Answers

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 allow controlled external-route origination inside an NSSA area.

C:

BGP community tagging policy instead addresses a different condition: identify a class of routes consistently across multiple policy boundaries. It would instead require you to attach a defined BGP community and match it at the intended next policy point, not the stated goal to allow controlled external-route origination inside an NSSA area.

D:

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 allow controlled external-route origination inside an NSSA area.

Question 242

At Orion Transit, the engineering change is approved for OSPF NSSA external translation. The specific goal is to allow controlled external-route origination inside an NSSA area. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Configure the access interface as OSPF passive where appropriate.
  2. Configure NSSA behavior with appropriate Type-7 origination and translation at the border.
  3. Attach a defined BGP community and match it at the intended next policy point.
  4. Form Level-2 adjacencies across area-border routers and advertise reachability.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Implementing OSPF NSSA external translation requires the operator to configure NSSA behavior with appropriate Type-7 origination and translation at the border. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that NSSA-originated routes are visible as correct Type-7 and translated external reachability.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 OSPF NSSA external translation operation: configure NSSA behavior with appropriate Type-7 origination and translation at the border.

C:

The proposed step is for BGP community tagging policy, whose purpose is to identify a class of routes consistently across multiple policy boundaries. It would not perform the necessary OSPF NSSA external translation operation: configure NSSA behavior with appropriate Type-7 origination and translation at the border.

D:

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 OSPF NSSA external translation operation: configure NSSA behavior with appropriate Type-7 origination and translation at the border.

Question 243

Meridian Networks has deployed OSPF NSSA external translation to allow controlled external-route origination inside an NSSA area. The implementation step was to configure NSSA behavior with appropriate Type-7 origination and translation at the border. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. The subnet is advertised but no OSPF customer adjacency forms.
  2. The community appears on accepted paths and triggers the correct handling.
  3. NSSA-originated routes are visible as correct Type-7 and translated external reachability.
  4. Remote-area routes appear in the Level-2 database and route table.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

For OSPF NSSA external translation, successful verification means that NSSA-originated routes are visible as correct Type-7 and translated external reachability. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can allow controlled external-route origination inside an NSSA area after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 OSPF NSSA external translation result: NSSA-originated routes are visible as correct Type-7 and translated external reachability.

B:

The observation would verify BGP community tagging policy under the separate requirement to identify a class of routes consistently across multiple policy boundaries. It does not demonstrate the needed OSPF NSSA external translation result: NSSA-originated routes are visible as correct Type-7 and translated external reachability.

D:

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 OSPF NSSA external translation result: NSSA-originated routes are visible as correct Type-7 and translated external reachability.

Question 244

While troubleshooting OSPF NSSA external translation at Kestrel Broadband, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: NSSA-originated routes are visible as correct Type-7 and translated external reachability. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. The access interface actively peers with an unauthorized CE router.
  2. A route attribute is set but the receiving policy never matches that community.
  3. Only Level-1 peering is enabled across routers with different area IDs.
  4. An ordinary stub area is configured where external injection is required.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The suspected defect directly frustrates OSPF NSSA external translation: an ordinary stub area is configured where external injection is required. Correcting it should allow verification that NSSA-originated routes are visible as correct Type-7 and translated external reachability.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 OSPF NSSA external translation design in this case: an ordinary stub area is configured where external injection is required.

B:

This defect belongs to BGP community tagging policy, where the affected outcome is to identify a class of routes consistently across multiple policy boundaries. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the OSPF NSSA external translation design in this case: an ordinary stub area is configured where external injection is required.

C:

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. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the OSPF NSSA external translation design in this case: an ordinary stub area is configured where external injection is required.

Question 245

After Harbor Metro deploys OSPF NSSA external translation to allow controlled external-route origination inside an NSSA area, the primary acceptance check passes (NSSA-originated routes are visible as correct Type-7 and translated external reachability). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Type-7 translation and default-route policy must be planned at the ABR.
  2. A core-facing interface must not be made passive by mistake.
  3. Propagation policies must permit communities to cross intended peers.
  4. Inter-area reachability depends on continuous Level-2 connectivity.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The relevant boundary of OSPF NSSA external translation is that Type-7 translation and default-route policy must be planned at the ABR. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This concern applies to OSPF passive customer subnet in a different scenario where operators need to advertise an access subnet without accepting routing hellos from its subscribers. For the deployed OSPF NSSA external translation approach, the relevant caution is instead that Type-7 translation and default-route policy must be planned at the ABR.

Question 246

Summit Service Provider must reduce adjacency overhead on a shared broadcast Ethernet segment. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. OSPF passive customer subnet
  2. OSPF designated router election
  3. BGP neighbor TCP authentication
  4. IS-IS NET system identity

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

OSPF designated router election matches this requirement: the team should choose OSPF network type and DR priorities intentionally on the multiaccess network. A relevant outcome would be that the intended DR and BDR appear in OSPF neighbor and interface status.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 reduce adjacency overhead on a shared broadcast Ethernet segment.

C:

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 reduce adjacency overhead on a shared broadcast Ethernet segment.

D:

IS-IS NET system identity instead addresses a different condition: ensure two routers in the same IS-IS domain have distinct system identifiers. It would instead require you to assign each instance a unique six-octet system ID in its network entity title, not the stated goal to reduce adjacency overhead on a shared broadcast Ethernet segment.

Question 247

At Ridgeway Networks, the engineering change is approved for OSPF designated router election. The specific goal is to reduce adjacency overhead on a shared broadcast Ethernet segment. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Configure the access interface as OSPF passive where appropriate.
  2. Configure supported matching BGP neighbor TCP authentication credentials at both peers.
  3. Choose OSPF network type and DR priorities intentionally on the multiaccess network.
  4. Assign each instance a unique six-octet system ID in its network entity title.

Explanation

Question 248

Lakeside Transport has deployed OSPF designated router election to reduce adjacency overhead on a shared broadcast Ethernet segment. The implementation step was to choose OSPF network type and DR priorities intentionally on the multiaccess network. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. The subnet is advertised but no OSPF customer adjacency forms.
  2. The BGP neighbor reaches Established only when peers use matching authentication keys.
  3. Adjacency and database output show separate stable system identities.
  4. The intended DR and BDR appear in OSPF neighbor and interface status.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

For OSPF designated router election, successful verification means that the intended DR and BDR appear in OSPF neighbor and interface status. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can reduce adjacency overhead on a shared broadcast Ethernet segment after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 OSPF designated router election result: the intended DR and BDR appear in OSPF neighbor and interface status.

It does not demonstrate the needed OSPF designated router election result: the intended DR and BDR appear in OSPF neighbor and interface status.

Question 249

While troubleshooting OSPF designated router election at Coastal Communications, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: the intended DR and BDR appear in OSPF neighbor and interface status. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. Point-to-point behavior is assumed for a many-router Ethernet network.
  2. The access interface actively peers with an unauthorized CE router.
  3. The BGP TCP session never establishes because neighbor authentication keys differ.
  4. Two routers reuse the identical NET system ID and topology records collide.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The suspected defect directly frustrates OSPF designated router election: point-to-point behavior is assumed for a many-router Ethernet network. Correcting it should allow verification that the intended DR and BDR appear in OSPF neighbor and interface status.

Incorrect Answers

B:

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 OSPF designated router election design in this case: point-to-point behavior is assumed for a many-router Ethernet network.

Question 250

After Bluebird Infrastructure deploys OSPF designated router election to reduce adjacency overhead on a shared broadcast Ethernet segment, the primary acceptance check passes (the intended DR and BDR appear in OSPF neighbor and interface status). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. A core-facing interface must not be made passive by mistake.
  2. DR priority changes alone do not always trigger immediate reelection.
  3. Key rotation and credential synchronization must avoid unexpected peering outages.
  4. Multiple NET area addresses on one router must keep its system ID consistent.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The relevant boundary of OSPF designated router election is that DR priority changes alone do not always trigger immediate reelection. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This concern applies to OSPF passive customer subnet in a different scenario where operators need to advertise an access subnet without accepting routing hellos from its subscribers.
