Cisco 350-501 Practice Test 31

Question 300

After Starlight IP Services deploys BGP IPv6 address family to exchange IPv6 unicast reachability on an existing BGP transport session, the primary acceptance check passes (BGP IPv6 NLRI is present in the neighbor address-family table). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Additional-path capability must be negotiated and policy-driven.
  2. Both peers must agree on instance and area context for adjacency.
  3. The preferred control-plane path is not necessarily an installable FIB path.
  4. IPv6 next-hop reachability must be valid even if TCP uses IPv4.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The relevant boundary of BGP IPv6 address family is that IPv6 next-hop reachability must be valid even if TCP uses IPv4. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This concern applies to BGP additional-path diversity in a different scenario where operators need to share more than one eligible path for a single prefix with supporting peers. For the deployed BGP IPv6 address family approach, the relevant caution is instead that IPv6 next-hop reachability must be valid even if TCP uses IPv4.

B:

This concern applies to OSPFv3 IPv6 routing in a different scenario where operators need to exchange IPv6 prefixes using the appropriate OSPF protocol version. For the deployed BGP IPv6 address family approach, the relevant caution is instead that IPv6 next-hop reachability must be valid even if TCP uses IPv4.

C:

This concern applies to BGP next-hop resolution failure in a different scenario where operators need to diagnose a valid BGP route absent from the forwarding RIB. For the deployed BGP IPv6 address family approach, the relevant caution is instead that IPv6 next-hop reachability must be valid even if TCP uses IPv4.

Question 301

Northstar Carrier must advertise a local prefix only when a matching route exists in the local table. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. BGP network statement origination
  2. BGP route reflector scale
  3. graceful restart helper coordination
  4. IS-IS adjacency MTU consistency

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

BGP network statement origination matches this requirement: the team should configure BGP network origination for an exact eligible route. A relevant outcome would be that the BGP table contains a locally originated path for the intended prefix.

Incorrect Answers

B:

BGP route reflector scale instead addresses a different condition: avoid a full mesh of iBGP peer sessions across a large provider AS. It would instead require you to designate route reflectors and client sessions with suitable cluster identity, not the stated goal to advertise a local prefix only when a matching route exists in the local table.

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 advertise a local prefix only when a matching route exists in the local table.

D:

IS-IS adjacency MTU consistency instead addresses a different condition: restore an IS-IS neighbor relationship failing due to mismatched interface MTUs. It would instead require you to align supported MTU and adjacency parameters on both connected interfaces, not the stated goal to advertise a local prefix only when a matching route exists in the local table.

Question 302

At Orion Transit, the engineering change is approved for BGP network statement origination. The specific goal is to advertise a local prefix only when a matching route exists in the local table. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Designate route reflectors and client sessions with suitable cluster identity.
  2. Configure BGP network origination for an exact eligible route.
  3. Configure compatible graceful restart roles and bounded stale-route timers.
  4. Align supported MTU and adjacency parameters on both connected interfaces.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Implementing BGP network statement origination requires the operator to configure BGP network origination for an exact eligible route. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that the BGP table contains a locally originated path for the intended prefix.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The proposed step is for BGP route reflector scale, whose purpose is to avoid a full mesh of iBGP peer sessions across a large provider AS. It would not perform the necessary BGP network statement origination operation: configure BGP network origination for an exact eligible route.

C:

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 BGP network statement origination operation: configure BGP network origination for an exact eligible route.

D:

The proposed step is for IS-IS adjacency MTU consistency, whose purpose is to restore an IS-IS neighbor relationship failing due to mismatched interface MTUs. It would not perform the necessary BGP network statement origination operation: configure BGP network origination for an exact eligible route.

Question 303

Meridian Networks has deployed BGP network statement origination to advertise a local prefix only when a matching route exists in the local table. The implementation step was to configure BGP network origination for an exact eligible route. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. Client routes are reflected to eligible internal peers without a full mesh.
  2. Peer routing converges while eligible forwarding state is retained temporarily.
  3. The BGP table contains a locally originated path for the intended prefix.
  4. The adjacency reaches Up after the mismatch is corrected.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

For BGP network statement origination, successful verification means that the BGP table contains a locally originated path for the intended prefix. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can advertise a local prefix only when a matching route exists in the local table after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The observation would verify BGP route reflector scale under the separate requirement to avoid a full mesh of iBGP peer sessions across a large provider AS. It does not demonstrate the needed BGP network statement origination result: the BGP table contains a locally originated path for the intended prefix.

B:

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 BGP network statement origination result: the BGP table contains a locally originated path for the intended prefix.

D:

The observation would verify IS-IS adjacency MTU consistency under the separate requirement to restore an IS-IS neighbor relationship failing due to mismatched interface MTUs. It does not demonstrate the needed BGP network statement origination result: the BGP table contains a locally originated path for the intended prefix.

Question 304

While troubleshooting BGP network statement origination at Kestrel Broadband, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: the BGP table contains a locally originated path for the intended prefix. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. Ordinary iBGP split-horizon behavior prevents a route reaching other clients.
  2. A stale route is treated as indefinitely valid after its helper timer expires.
  3. Routing export policy is changed although hello padding still fails.
  4. A network statement is entered but no matching route exists to originate.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The suspected defect directly frustrates BGP network statement origination: a network statement is entered but no matching route exists to originate. Correcting it should allow verification that the BGP table contains a locally originated path for the intended prefix.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This defect belongs to BGP route reflector scale, where the affected outcome is to avoid a full mesh of iBGP peer sessions across a large provider AS. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the BGP network statement origination design in this case: a network statement is entered but no matching route exists to originate.

B:

This defect belongs to graceful restart helper coordination, where the affected outcome is to allow a neighbor's control-plane restart without immediately invalidating forwarding. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the BGP network statement origination design in this case: a network statement is entered but no matching route exists to originate.

C:

This defect belongs to IS-IS adjacency MTU consistency, where the affected outcome is to restore an IS-IS neighbor relationship failing due to mismatched interface MTUs. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the BGP network statement origination design in this case: a network statement is entered but no matching route exists to originate.

Question 305

After Harbor Metro deploys BGP network statement origination to advertise a local prefix only when a matching route exists in the local table, the primary acceptance check passes (the BGP table contains a locally originated path for the intended prefix). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. A lost underlying route can withdraw the BGP advertisement.
  2. Reflector placement and redundancy shape convergence and path visibility.
  3. Retained stale state can blackhole traffic if underlying forwarding is broken.
  4. An MTU increase needs to be supported across the physical path.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The relevant boundary of BGP network statement origination is that a lost underlying route can withdraw the BGP advertisement. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This concern applies to BGP route reflector scale in a different scenario where operators need to avoid a full mesh of iBGP peer sessions across a large provider AS. For the deployed BGP network statement origination approach, the relevant caution is instead that a lost underlying route can withdraw the BGP advertisement.

C:

For the deployed BGP network statement origination approach, the relevant caution is instead that a lost underlying route can withdraw the BGP advertisement.

Question 306

Summit Service Provider must repair iBGP route reception when the external next hop cannot be resolved internally. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. BGP iBGP multipath forwarding
  2. BGP next-hop-self internal reachability
  3. OSPF area mismatch diagnosis
  4. IS-IS single-topology coexistence

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

BGP next-hop-self internal reachability matches this requirement: the team should set the correct next-hop attribute on the iBGP advertisement boundary. A relevant outcome would be that internal peers install the route using a reachable provider next hop.

Incorrect Answers

A:

BGP iBGP multipath forwarding instead addresses a different condition: load-share among eligible equal-cost BGP routes instead of only one best path. It would instead require you to enable supported BGP multipath behavior within compatible path constraints, not the stated goal to repair iBGP route reception when the external next hop cannot be resolved internally.

C:

OSPF area mismatch diagnosis instead addresses a different condition: recover adjacency on a link whose routers are configured in different areas. It would instead require you to place both sides in the intended matching OSPF area, not the stated goal to repair iBGP route reception when the external next hop cannot be resolved internally.

D:

IS-IS single-topology coexistence instead addresses a different condition: run IPv4 and IPv6 under a common IS-IS topology when links support both. It would instead require you to configure the appropriate single-topology address-family behavior consistently, not the stated goal to repair iBGP route reception when the external next hop cannot be resolved internally.

Question 307

At Ridgeway Networks, the engineering change is approved for BGP next-hop-self internal reachability. The specific goal is to repair iBGP route reception when the external next hop cannot be resolved internally. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Enable supported BGP multipath behavior within compatible path constraints.
  2. Place both sides in the intended matching OSPF area.
  3. Set the correct next-hop attribute on the iBGP advertisement boundary.
  4. Configure the appropriate single-topology address-family behavior consistently.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Implementing BGP next-hop-self internal reachability requires the operator to set the correct next-hop attribute on the iBGP advertisement boundary. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that internal peers install the route using a reachable provider next hop.

It would not perform the necessary BGP next-hop-self internal reachability operation: set the correct next-hop attribute on the iBGP advertisement boundary.

D:

It would not perform the necessary BGP next-hop-self internal reachability operation: set the correct next-hop attribute on the iBGP advertisement boundary.

Question 308

Lakeside Transport has deployed BGP next-hop-self internal reachability to repair iBGP route reception when the external next hop cannot be resolved internally. The implementation step was to set the correct next-hop attribute on the iBGP advertisement boundary. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. Multiple eligible next hops appear in installed forwarding entries.
  2. Hello packets result in a valid adjacency and shared link-state database.
  3. Both address families calculate paths using the shared topology.
  4. Internal peers install the route using a reachable provider next hop.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

For BGP next-hop-self internal reachability, successful verification means that internal peers install the route using a reachable provider next hop. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can repair iBGP route reception when the external next hop cannot be resolved internally after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The observation would verify BGP iBGP multipath forwarding under the separate requirement to load-share among eligible equal-cost BGP routes instead of only one best path. It does not demonstrate the needed BGP next-hop-self internal reachability result: internal peers install the route using a reachable provider next hop.

B:

The observation would verify OSPF area mismatch diagnosis under the separate requirement to recover adjacency on a link whose routers are configured in different areas. It does not demonstrate the needed BGP next-hop-self internal reachability result: internal peers install the route using a reachable provider next hop.

C:

The observation would verify IS-IS single-topology coexistence under the separate requirement to run IPv4 and IPv6 under a common IS-IS topology when links support both. It does not demonstrate the needed BGP next-hop-self internal reachability result: internal peers install the route using a reachable provider next hop.

Question 309

While troubleshooting BGP next-hop-self internal reachability at Coastal Communications, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: internal peers install the route using a reachable provider next hop. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. The original eBGP next hop remains unreachable inside the provider core.
  2. Only one best route is programmed despite a requirement for multipath.
  3. DR priority is changed although the OSPF area IDs remain incompatible.
  4. IPv6 is enabled on only part of the common SPF topology.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The suspected defect directly frustrates BGP next-hop-self internal reachability: the original eBGP next hop remains unreachable inside the provider core. Correcting it should allow verification that internal peers install the route using a reachable provider next hop.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This defect belongs to BGP iBGP multipath forwarding, where the affected outcome is to load-share among eligible equal-cost BGP routes instead of only one best path. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the BGP next-hop-self internal reachability design in this case: the original eBGP next hop remains unreachable inside the provider core.

Question 310

After Bluebird Infrastructure deploys BGP next-hop-self internal reachability to repair iBGP route reception when the external next hop cannot be resolved internally, the primary acceptance check passes (internal peers install the route using a reachable provider next hop). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Not every path is eligible; AS-path and attribute equivalence rules apply.
  2. The chosen next hop must itself be redundantly reachable by the IGP.
  3. The area correction may affect summarization and route propagation.
  4. Shared topology assumes participating links can forward both families.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The relevant boundary of BGP next-hop-self internal reachability is that the chosen next hop must itself be redundantly reachable by the IGP. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This concern applies to BGP iBGP multipath forwarding in a different scenario where operators need to load-share among eligible equal-cost BGP routes instead of only one best path.
