Cisco 350-501 Practice Test 72

Question 710

After Starlight IP Services deploys E-LAN multipoint service to make three remote customer interfaces members of one shared Ethernet broadcast domain, the primary acceptance check passes (MAC learning and broadcast replication work across each intended member). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Measurement accuracy depends on platform clock and path support.
  2. Flooding scope and split-horizon controls affect scalability.
  3. Marking policy must handle untrusted subscriber-supplied values.
  4. ASBR trust and route-target filtering are critical at inter-provider edges.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The relevant boundary of E-LAN multipoint service is that flooding scope and split-horizon controls affect scalability. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This concern applies to Y.1731 Ethernet delay measurement in a different scenario where operators need to measure frame delay and loss across a provisioned Ethernet service. For the deployed E-LAN multipoint service approach, the relevant caution is instead that flooding scope and split-horizon controls affect scalability.

C:

This concern applies to DSCP class marking at ingress in a different scenario where operators need to mark customer traffic into a contracted provider forwarding class before queuing. For the deployed E-LAN multipoint service approach, the relevant caution is instead that flooding scope and split-horizon controls affect scalability.

D:

This concern applies to inter-AS VPN option B route exchange in a different scenario where operators need to exchange labeled VPN routes between autonomous systems through AS border routers. For the deployed E-LAN multipoint service approach, the relevant caution is instead that flooding scope and split-horizon controls affect scalability.

Question 711

Northstar Carrier must allow a hub to reach remote leaves while preventing leaf-to-leaf communication. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. G.8032 Ethernet ring protection
  2. route distinguisher VPN identity
  3. E-Tree root and leaf isolation
  4. PIM-SSM source-specific join

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

E-Tree root and leaf isolation matches this requirement: the team should configure an E-Tree rooted multipoint Ethernet service with leaf restrictions. A relevant outcome would be that leaf nodes exchange frames with the root but not directly with one another.

Incorrect Answers

A:

G.8032 Ethernet ring protection instead addresses a different condition: protect a Carrier Ethernet ring from forwarding loops during normal operation. It would instead require you to configure Ethernet ring protection with its ring protection link behavior, not the stated goal to allow a hub to reach remote leaves while preventing leaf-to-leaf communication.

B:

route distinguisher VPN identity instead addresses a different condition: make otherwise identical customer prefixes unique in MP-BGP VPNv4 advertisements. It would instead require you to assign suitable unique route distinguishers to the customer VPN routes, not the stated goal to allow a hub to reach remote leaves while preventing leaf-to-leaf communication.

D:

PIM-SSM source-specific join instead addresses a different condition: let subscribers request an explicitly selected multicast source and group pair. It would instead require you to use SSM with source-aware membership such as IGMPv3 on supported receivers, not the stated goal to allow a hub to reach remote leaves while preventing leaf-to-leaf communication.

Question 712

At Orion Transit, the engineering change is approved for E-Tree root and leaf isolation. The specific goal is to allow a hub to reach remote leaves while preventing leaf-to-leaf communication. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Configure Ethernet ring protection with its ring protection link behavior.
  2. Assign suitable unique route distinguishers to the customer VPN routes.
  3. Use SSM with source-aware membership such as IGMPv3 on supported receivers.
  4. Configure an E-Tree rooted multipoint Ethernet service with leaf restrictions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Implementing E-Tree root and leaf isolation requires the operator to configure an E-Tree rooted multipoint Ethernet service with leaf restrictions. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that leaf nodes exchange frames with the root but not directly with one another.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The proposed step is for G.8032 Ethernet ring protection, whose purpose is to protect a Carrier Ethernet ring from forwarding loops during normal operation. It would not perform the necessary E-Tree root and leaf isolation operation: configure an E-Tree rooted multipoint Ethernet service with leaf restrictions.

B:

The proposed step is for route distinguisher VPN identity, whose purpose is to make otherwise identical customer prefixes unique in MP-BGP VPNv4 advertisements. It would not perform the necessary E-Tree root and leaf isolation operation: configure an E-Tree rooted multipoint Ethernet service with leaf restrictions.

C:

The proposed step is for PIM-SSM source-specific join, whose purpose is to let subscribers request an explicitly selected multicast source and group pair. It would not perform the necessary E-Tree root and leaf isolation operation: configure an E-Tree rooted multipoint Ethernet service with leaf restrictions.

Question 713

Meridian Networks has deployed E-Tree root and leaf isolation to allow a hub to reach remote leaves while preventing leaf-to-leaf communication. The implementation step was to configure an E-Tree rooted multipoint Ethernet service with leaf restrictions. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. Leaf nodes exchange frames with the root but not directly with one another.
  2. One designated ring section is blocked in steady state and opens for a failure.
  3. Remote BGP tables distinguish the same IPv4 prefix from separate VPN contexts.
  4. The forwarding entry matches the requested source and group without RP discovery.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

For E-Tree root and leaf isolation, successful verification means that leaf nodes exchange frames with the root but not directly with one another. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can allow a hub to reach remote leaves while preventing leaf-to-leaf communication after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The observation would verify G.8032 Ethernet ring protection under the separate requirement to protect a Carrier Ethernet ring from forwarding loops during normal operation. It does not demonstrate the needed E-Tree root and leaf isolation result: leaf nodes exchange frames with the root but not directly with one another.

C:

The observation would verify route distinguisher VPN identity under the separate requirement to make otherwise identical customer prefixes unique in MP-BGP VPNv4 advertisements. It does not demonstrate the needed E-Tree root and leaf isolation result: leaf nodes exchange frames with the root but not directly with one another.

D:

The observation would verify PIM-SSM source-specific join under the separate requirement to let subscribers request an explicitly selected multicast source and group pair. It does not demonstrate the needed E-Tree root and leaf isolation result: leaf nodes exchange frames with the root but not directly with one another.

Question 714

While troubleshooting E-Tree root and leaf isolation at Kestrel Broadband, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: leaf nodes exchange frames with the root but not directly with one another. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. All ring links forward at once and create an Ethernet broadcast loop.
  2. An E-LAN service permits prohibited lateral leaf communication.
  3. Equal customer prefixes are treated as one plain IPv4 route before VPN signaling.
  4. An any-source IGMPv2 membership is used expecting source-specific filtering.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The suspected defect directly frustrates E-Tree root and leaf isolation: an E-LAN service permits prohibited lateral leaf communication. Correcting it should allow verification that leaf nodes exchange frames with the root but not directly with one another.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This defect belongs to G.8032 Ethernet ring protection, where the affected outcome is to protect a Carrier Ethernet ring from forwarding loops during normal operation. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the E-Tree root and leaf isolation design in this case: an E-LAN service permits prohibited lateral leaf communication.

C:

This defect belongs to route distinguisher VPN identity, where the affected outcome is to make otherwise identical customer prefixes unique in MP-BGP VPNv4 advertisements. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the E-Tree root and leaf isolation design in this case: an E-LAN service permits prohibited lateral leaf communication.

D:

This defect belongs to PIM-SSM source-specific join, where the affected outcome is to let subscribers request an explicitly selected multicast source and group pair. It is not the direct failure mode identified for the E-Tree root and leaf isolation design in this case: an E-LAN service permits prohibited lateral leaf communication.

Question 715

After Harbor Metro deploys E-Tree root and leaf isolation to allow a hub to reach remote leaves while preventing leaf-to-leaf communication, the primary acceptance check passes (leaf nodes exchange frames with the root but not directly with one another). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Ring protection timers determine switchover and transient disruption.
  2. The RD identifies a route but does not by itself control route import.
  3. Accurate root and leaf port roles are essential for policy enforcement.
  4. The receiver must know and signal the intended multicast source.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The relevant boundary of E-Tree root and leaf isolation is that accurate root and leaf port roles are essential for policy enforcement. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This concern applies to G.8032 Ethernet ring protection in a different scenario where operators need to protect a Carrier Ethernet ring from forwarding loops during normal operation. For the deployed E-Tree root and leaf isolation approach, the relevant caution is instead that accurate root and leaf port roles are essential for policy enforcement.

B:

For the deployed E-Tree root and leaf isolation approach, the relevant caution is instead that accurate root and leaf port roles are essential for policy enforcement.

D:

This concern applies to PIM-SSM source-specific join in a different scenario where operators need to let subscribers request an explicitly selected multicast source and group pair. For the deployed E-Tree root and leaf isolation approach, the relevant caution is instead that accurate root and leaf port roles are essential for policy enforcement.

Question 716

Summit Service Provider must carry duplicate customer VLAN IDs from multiple subscribers over a provider Ethernet access network. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?

  1. Y.1731 Ethernet delay measurement
  2. VRF customer routing isolation
  3. MPLS L3VPN label stack
  4. 802.1ad Q-in-Q tag separation

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

802.1ad Q-in-Q tag separation matches this requirement: the team should push a provider service VLAN tag while preserving each customer's C-tag. A relevant outcome would be that provider S-tag distinguishes the subscriber services independently of C-tag values.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Y.1731 Ethernet delay measurement instead addresses a different condition: measure frame delay and loss across a provisioned Ethernet service. It would instead require you to enable suitable service OAM performance measurement on supported MEPs, not the stated goal to carry duplicate customer VLAN IDs from multiple subscribers over a provider Ethernet access network.

B:

VRF customer routing isolation instead addresses a different condition: prevent two subscribers with overlapping private addresses from mixing their forwarding routes. It would instead require you to create separate VRFs and bind the correct customer interfaces to each table, not the stated goal to carry duplicate customer VLAN IDs from multiple subscribers over a provider Ethernet access network.

C:

MPLS L3VPN label stack instead addresses a different condition: carry a VPN packet through a core that does not hold customer routes. It would instead require you to push a VPN service label beneath an appropriate transport label at the ingress PE, not the stated goal to carry duplicate customer VLAN IDs from multiple subscribers over a provider Ethernet access network.

Question 717

At Ridgeway Networks, the engineering change is approved for 802.1ad Q-in-Q tag separation. The specific goal is to carry duplicate customer VLAN IDs from multiple subscribers over a provider Ethernet access network. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?

  1. Push a provider service VLAN tag while preserving each customer's C-tag.
  2. Enable suitable service OAM performance measurement on supported MEPs.
  3. Create separate VRFs and bind the correct customer interfaces to each table.
  4. Push a VPN service label beneath an appropriate transport label at the ingress PE.

Explanation

Implementing 802.1ad Q-in-Q tag separation requires the operator to push a provider service VLAN tag while preserving each customer's C-tag. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that provider S-tag distinguishes the subscriber services independently of C-tag values.

Incorrect Answers

Question 718

Lakeside Transport has deployed 802.1ad Q-in-Q tag separation to carry duplicate customer VLAN IDs from multiple subscribers over a provider Ethernet access network. The implementation step was to push a provider service VLAN tag while preserving each customer's C-tag. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?

  1. The provider obtains delay or frame-loss measurements for the contracted EVC.
  2. Provider S-tag distinguishes the subscriber services independently of C-tag values.
  3. The same IPv4 subnet can exist independently in both customer routing tables.
  4. Core P routers switch transport labels and egress PE selects the customer VRF.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

For 802.1ad Q-in-Q tag separation, successful verification means that provider S-tag distinguishes the subscriber services independently of C-tag values. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can carry duplicate customer VLAN IDs from multiple subscribers over a provider Ethernet access network after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The observation would verify Y.1731 Ethernet delay measurement under the separate requirement to measure frame delay and loss across a provisioned Ethernet service. It does not demonstrate the needed 802.1ad Q-in-Q tag separation result: provider S-tag distinguishes the subscriber services independently of C-tag values.

It does not demonstrate the needed 802.1ad Q-in-Q tag separation result: provider S-tag distinguishes the subscriber services independently of C-tag values.

Question 719

While troubleshooting 802.1ad Q-in-Q tag separation at Coastal Communications, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: provider S-tag distinguishes the subscriber services independently of C-tag values. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?

  1. Physical link utilization is used as a substitute for per-service delay measurement.
  2. Both CE interfaces enter the global table and routes collide.
  3. Customer C-tag alone is treated as globally unique across unrelated tenants.
  4. Customer IP prefixes are installed in every P router instead of using labeled VPN transport.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The suspected defect directly frustrates 802.1ad Q-in-Q tag separation: customer C-tag alone is treated as globally unique across unrelated tenants. Correcting it should allow verification that provider S-tag distinguishes the subscriber services independently of C-tag values.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Question 720

After Bluebird Infrastructure deploys 802.1ad Q-in-Q tag separation to carry duplicate customer VLAN IDs from multiple subscribers over a provider Ethernet access network, the primary acceptance check passes (provider S-tag distinguishes the subscriber services independently of C-tag values). What remaining operational risk should still be part of the design review?

  1. Measurement accuracy depends on platform clock and path support.
  2. Intentional shared services require explicit route-leak controls.
  3. Label resolution and egress service state are both required for delivery.
  4. Link MTU must allow the additional Ethernet tag bytes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The relevant boundary of 802.1ad Q-in-Q tag separation is that link MTU must allow the additional Ethernet tag bytes. Passing the acceptance test does not eliminate this residual operational risk.

Incorrect Answers

A:
