Cisco 350-501 Practice Test 29

Question 280

After Bluebird Infrastructure deploys OSPF external metric distinction to choose between internal-cost-aware and fixed-external-cost path treatment, the primary acceptance check passes (external path selection follows the declared Type-1 or Type-2 cost behavior). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. A stub area cannot independently host an ordinary ASBR advertising externals.
  2. Mismatched metric styles can produce inconsistent path selection.
  3. The route policy must react to the chosen upstream liveness signal.
  4. External-metric design needs consistency to avoid unexpected provider exits.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The relevant boundary of OSPF external metric distinction is that external-metric design needs consistency to avoid unexpected provider exits. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This concern applies to OSPF stub area constraint in a different scenario where operators need to limit Type-5 external LSAs within a supported stub area. For the deployed OSPF external metric distinction approach, the relevant caution is instead that external-metric design needs consistency to avoid unexpected provider exits.

B:

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 OSPF external metric distinction approach, the relevant caution is instead that external-metric design needs consistency to avoid unexpected provider exits.

C:

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 OSPF external metric distinction approach, the relevant caution is instead that external-metric design needs consistency to avoid unexpected provider exits.

Question 281

Horizon Exchange must form an external BGP peering between provider and customer autonomous systems. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. BGP remote AS alignment
  2. BGP next-hop-self internal reachability
  3. OSPF stub area constraint
  4. OSPFv3 IPv6 routing

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

BGP remote AS alignment matches this requirement: the team should configure each peer with the other's correct remote AS and IP reachability. A relevant outcome would be that the BGP finite state machine reaches Established and routes exchange under policy.

Incorrect Answers

B:

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 form an external BGP peering between provider and customer autonomous systems.

C:

OSPF stub area constraint instead addresses a different condition: limit Type-5 external LSAs within a supported stub area. It would instead require you to configure consistent stub-area settings on all routers in the area, not the stated goal to form an external BGP peering between provider and customer autonomous systems.

D:

OSPFv3 IPv6 routing instead addresses a different condition: exchange IPv6 prefixes using the appropriate OSPF protocol version. It would instead require you to configure OSPFv3 address-family and interface participation for IPv6, not the stated goal to form an external BGP peering between provider and customer autonomous systems.

Question 282

At Cedar Wireless, the engineering change is approved for BGP remote AS alignment. The specific goal is to form an external BGP peering between provider and customer autonomous systems. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Set the correct next-hop attribute on the iBGP advertisement boundary.
  2. Configure each peer with the other's correct remote AS and IP reachability.
  3. Configure consistent stub-area settings on all routers in the area.
  4. Configure OSPFv3 address-family and interface participation for IPv6.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Implementing BGP remote AS alignment requires the operator to configure each peer with the other's correct remote AS and IP reachability. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that the BGP finite state machine reaches Established and routes exchange under policy.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 BGP remote AS alignment operation: configure each peer with the other's correct remote AS and IP reachability.

C:

The proposed step is for OSPF stub area constraint, whose purpose is to limit Type-5 external LSAs within a supported stub area. It would not perform the necessary BGP remote AS alignment operation: configure each peer with the other's correct remote AS and IP reachability.

D:

The proposed step is for OSPFv3 IPv6 routing, whose purpose is to exchange IPv6 prefixes using the appropriate OSPF protocol version. It would not perform the necessary BGP remote AS alignment operation: configure each peer with the other's correct remote AS and IP reachability.

Question 283

Willow Regional has deployed BGP remote AS alignment to form an external BGP peering between provider and customer autonomous systems. The implementation step was to configure each peer with the other's correct remote AS and IP reachability. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. Internal peers install the route using a reachable provider next hop.
  2. The stub area uses required default routing without external Type-5 LSAs.
  3. The BGP finite state machine reaches Established and routes exchange under policy.
  4. OSPFv3 neighbors form and IPv6 prefixes install into the routing table.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

For BGP remote AS alignment, successful verification means that the BGP finite state machine reaches Established and routes exchange under policy. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can form an external BGP peering between provider and customer autonomous systems after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 BGP remote AS alignment result: the BGP finite state machine reaches Established and routes exchange under policy.

B:

The observation would verify OSPF stub area constraint under the separate requirement to limit Type-5 external LSAs within a supported stub area. It does not demonstrate the needed BGP remote AS alignment result: the BGP finite state machine reaches Established and routes exchange under policy.

D:

The observation would verify OSPFv3 IPv6 routing under the separate requirement to exchange IPv6 prefixes using the appropriate OSPF protocol version. It does not demonstrate the needed BGP remote AS alignment result: the BGP finite state machine reaches Established and routes exchange under policy.

Question 284

While troubleshooting BGP remote AS alignment at Atlas Backbone, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: the BGP finite state machine reaches Established and routes exchange under policy. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. The original eBGP next hop remains unreachable inside the provider core.
  2. One neighbor keeps normal-area settings and the stub adjacency fails.
  3. OSPFv2-only adjacency is assumed to advertise IPv6 unicast routes.
  4. A neighbor is configured with the provider's local AS instead of the customer AS.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The suspected defect directly frustrates BGP remote AS alignment: a neighbor is configured with the provider's local AS instead of the customer AS. Correcting it should allow verification that the BGP finite state machine reaches Established and routes exchange under policy.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 BGP remote AS alignment design in this case: a neighbor is configured with the provider's local AS instead of the customer AS.

B:

This defect belongs to OSPF stub area constraint, where the affected outcome is to limit Type-5 external LSAs within a supported stub area. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the BGP remote AS alignment design in this case: a neighbor is configured with the provider's local AS instead of the customer AS.

C:

This defect belongs to OSPFv3 IPv6 routing, where the affected outcome is to exchange IPv6 prefixes using the appropriate OSPF protocol version. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the BGP remote AS alignment design in this case: a neighbor is configured with the provider's local AS instead of the customer AS.

Question 285

After Starlight IP Services deploys BGP remote AS alignment to form an external BGP peering between provider and customer autonomous systems, the primary acceptance check passes (the BGP finite state machine reaches Established and routes exchange under policy). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. EBGP policy and prefix filtering are still required after peering forms.
  2. The chosen next hop must itself be redundantly reachable by the IGP.
  3. A stub area cannot independently host an ordinary ASBR advertising externals.
  4. Both peers must agree on instance and area context for adjacency.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The relevant boundary of BGP remote AS alignment is that eBGP policy and prefix filtering are still required after peering forms. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

B:

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 BGP remote AS alignment approach, the relevant caution is instead that eBGP policy and prefix filtering are still required after peering forms.

C:

This concern applies to OSPF stub area constraint in a different scenario where operators need to limit Type-5 external LSAs within a supported stub area. For the deployed BGP remote AS alignment approach, the relevant caution is instead that eBGP policy and prefix filtering are still required after peering forms.

D:

For the deployed BGP remote AS alignment approach, the relevant caution is instead that eBGP policy and prefix filtering are still required after peering forms.

Question 286

Northstar Carrier must establish a planned multihop BGP session between stable loopbacks. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. BGP network statement origination
  2. BGP multihop loopback peer
  3. BGP next-hop resolution failure
  4. IS-IS level-2 backbone exchange

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

BGP multihop loopback peer matches this requirement: the team should configure the peer update-source and permitted multihop reachability as required. A relevant outcome would be that the TCP BGP session uses intended local source and remote loopback endpoints.

Incorrect Answers

A:

BGP network statement origination instead addresses a different condition: advertise a local prefix only when a matching route exists in the local table. It would instead require you to configure BGP network origination for an exact eligible route, not the stated goal to establish a planned multihop BGP session between stable loopbacks.

C:

BGP next-hop resolution failure instead addresses a different condition: diagnose a valid BGP route absent from the forwarding RIB. It would instead require you to check recursion and IGP reachability for the advertised BGP next hop, not the stated goal to establish a planned multihop BGP session between stable loopbacks.

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 establish a planned multihop BGP session between stable loopbacks.

Question 287

At Orion Transit, the engineering change is approved for BGP multihop loopback peer. The specific goal is to establish a planned multihop BGP session between stable loopbacks. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Configure BGP network origination for an exact eligible route.
  2. Check recursion and IGP reachability for the advertised BGP next hop.
  3. Configure the peer update-source and permitted multihop reachability as required.
  4. Form Level-2 adjacencies across area-border routers and advertise reachability.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Implementing BGP multihop loopback peer requires the operator to configure the peer update-source and permitted multihop reachability as required. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that the TCP BGP session uses intended local source and remote loopback endpoints.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The proposed step is for BGP network statement origination, whose purpose is to advertise a local prefix only when a matching route exists in the local table.

It would not perform the necessary BGP multihop loopback peer operation: configure the peer update-source and permitted multihop reachability as required.

Question 288

Meridian Networks has deployed BGP multihop loopback peer to establish a planned multihop BGP session between stable loopbacks. The implementation step was to configure the peer update-source and permitted multihop reachability as required. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. The BGP table contains a locally originated path for the intended prefix.
  2. The BGP path becomes usable when the next hop resolves to a valid interface.
  3. Remote-area routes appear in the Level-2 database and route table.
  4. The TCP BGP session uses intended local source and remote loopback endpoints.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

For BGP multihop loopback peer, successful verification means that the TCP BGP session uses intended local source and remote loopback endpoints. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can establish a planned multihop BGP session between stable loopbacks after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The observation would verify BGP network statement origination under the separate requirement to advertise a local prefix only when a matching route exists in the local table. It does not demonstrate the needed BGP multihop loopback peer result: the TCP BGP session uses intended local source and remote loopback endpoints.

It does not demonstrate the needed BGP multihop loopback peer result: the TCP BGP session uses intended local source and remote loopback endpoints.

Question 289

While troubleshooting BGP multihop loopback peer at Kestrel Broadband, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: the TCP BGP session uses intended local source and remote loopback endpoints. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. The neighbor expects a loopback source but packets use a physical interface IP.
  2. A network statement is entered but no matching route exists to originate.
  3. More BGP prefixes are advertised while the existing next hop remains unreachable.
  4. Only Level-1 peering is enabled across routers with different area IDs.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The suspected defect directly frustrates BGP multihop loopback peer: the neighbor expects a loopback source but packets use a physical interface IP. Correcting it should allow verification that the TCP BGP session uses intended local source and remote loopback endpoints.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This defect belongs to BGP network statement origination, where the affected outcome is to advertise a local prefix only when a matching route exists in the local table.

Question 290

After Harbor Metro deploys BGP multihop loopback peer to establish a planned multihop BGP session between stable loopbacks, the primary acceptance check passes (the TCP BGP session uses intended local source and remote loopback endpoints). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. A lost underlying route can withdraw the BGP advertisement.
  2. Routing or firewall changes can interrupt loopback reachability.
  3. The preferred control-plane path is not necessarily an installable FIB path.
  4. Inter-area reachability depends on continuous Level-2 connectivity.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The relevant boundary of BGP multihop loopback peer is that routing or firewall changes can interrupt loopback reachability. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This concern applies to BGP network statement origination in a different scenario where operators need to advertise a local prefix only when a matching route exists in the local table.
