Question 2
Which two actions influence the EIGRP route selection process? (Choose two.)
· A. The advertised distance is calculated by a downstream neighbor to inform the local router of the
bandwidth on the link.
· B The router calculates the feasible distance of all paths to the destination route
· C. The router must use the advertised distance as the metric for any given route.
· D. The router calculates the best backup path to the destination route and assigns it as the feasible
successor.
· E The router calculates the reported distance by multiplying the delay on the exiting interface by 256.

Answer: BD
Section: IP Connectivity

Explanation:
The reported distance (or advertised distance) is the cost from the neighbor to the destination. It is
calculated from the router advertising the route to the network. For example in the topology below, suppose
router A & B are exchanging their routing tables for the first time Router B says Hey, the best metric (cost)
from me to IOWA is 50 and the metric from you to IOWA is 90 r and advertises it to router A. Router A
considers the first metric (50) as the Advertised distance The second metric (90), which is from NEVADA to
IOWA (through IDAHO), is called the Feasible distance

Question 3
In an SDN architecture, which function of a network node is centralized on a controller?

O A. Creates the IP routing table

O B Discards a message due filtering
O C. Makes a routing decision
O D. Provides protocol access for remote access devices
Answer: C
Section: Security Fundamentals Explanation:
A controller, or SDN controller, centralizes the control of the networking devices. The degree of control,
and the type of control, varies widely. For instance, the controller can perform all control plane functions
(such as making routing decisions) replacing the devices' distributed control plane

Question 10
Which statements describe the routing protocol OSPF? (Choose three.)
· A. It supports VLSM.
· B It is used to route between autonomous systems.
· C. It confines network instability to one area of the network.
· D. It increases routing overhead on the network.
· E It allows extensive control of routing updates.
· F. It is simpler to configure than RIP v2.

Answer: ACE
Sectrion: IP connectivity
Explanation:
The OSPF protocol is based on link-state technology, which is a departure from the Bellman-Ford vector
based algorithms used in traditional Internet routing protocols such as RIP OSPF has introduced new
concepts such as authentication of routing updates. Variable Length Subnet Masks (VLSM). route
summarization, and so forth.
OSPF uses flooding to exchange link-state updates between routers. Any change in routing information is
flooded to all routers in the network. Areas are introduced to put a boundary on the explosion of link-state
updates Flooding and calculation of the Dijkstra algorithm on a router is limited to changes within an area

Question 11
What is the difference between AAA authentication and authorization?
O A. Authentication identifies and verifies a user who is attempting to access a system, and
authorization controls the tasks the user performs.
OB Authentication controls the system processes a user accesses, and authorization logs the
activities the user initiates.
O C. Authentication verifies a username and password, and authorization handles the communication
between the authentication agent and the user database.
OD Authentication identifies a user who is attempting to access a system, and authorization validates
the user's password.

Answer: A
Section : Security Fundamentals Explanation :
AAA stands for Authentication, Authorization and Accounting.

· Authentication: Specify who you are (usually via login username & password)
· Authorization: Specify what actions you can do, what resource you can access
· Accounting: Monitor what you do, how long you do it (can be used for billing and auditing)

An example of AAA is shown below:

· Authentication: ‘I am a normal user. My username/password is userjom/learnforever'

· Authorization: 'user_tom can access LearnCCNA server via HTTP and FTP"
· Accounting: 'user_tom accessed LearnCCNA server for 2 hours'. This user only uses 'show' commands

Question 12
Which interface mode must be configured to connect the lightweight APs in a centralized architecture?
O A. WLAN dynamic
O B. trunk
O C. access
O D. management

Answer: C
Section: Network Access Explanation:
While the Cisco WLCs always connect to 802.1Q trunks, Cisco lightweight APs do not understand VLAN
tagging and should only be connected to the access ports of the neighbor switch.
This is an example switch port configuration from the Catalyst 3750: interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/22

Which command is used to enable LLDP globally on a Cisco IOS ISR?

O A. lldp run
O B lldp enable
O C. lldp transmit
O D. cdp run
O E. cdp enable

Answer: A:
Section: Network Access

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is an industry standard protocol that allows devices to advertise, and
discover connected devices, and their capabilities (same as CDP of Cisco). To enable it on Cisco devices,
we must use this command under global configuration mode:
Sw(config)# lldp run

Question 14
How will Link Aggregation be implemented on a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller?

O A. The EtherChannel must be configured in "mode active'.

O B When enabled, the WLC bandwidth drops to 500 Mbps.

Question 16
Which command enables a router to become a DHCP client?
O A. ip address dhcp
O B ip dhcp client
O C ip helper-address
O D ip dhcp pool
Answer: A
Section: IP Service
Explanation:
If we want to get an IP address from the DHCP server on a Cisco device, we can use the command 'ip
address dhcp". Note: The command 'ip helper-address" enables a router to become a DHCP Relay Agent.

Question 17
In QoS, which prioritization method is appropriate for interactive voice and video?
O A. traffic policing
O B round-robin scheduling
O C low-latency queuing
O D. expedited forwarding

Answer: C
Section: IP Service
Explanation:
Low Latency Queuing (LLQ) is the preferred queuing policy for VoIP audio. Given the stringent delay/jitter
sensitive requirements of voice and video and the need to synchronize audio and video for CUVA, priority
(LLQ) queuing is the recommended for all video traffic as well. Note that, for video, priority bandwidth is
generally fudged up by 20% to account for the overhead

Question 18
In a CDP environment, what happens when the CDP interface on an adjacent device is configured without
an IP address?
O A. CDP becomes inoperable on that neighbor
O B CDP uses the IP address of another interface for that neighbor
O C. CDP operates normally, but it cannot provide IP address information for that neighbor
O D. CDP operates normally, but it cannot provide any information forthat neighbor

Answer: C
Section: Network Access
Although CDP is a Layer 2 protocol, but we can check the neighbor IP address with the "show cdp neighbor
detail' command If the neighbor does not has an IP address then CDP still operates without any problem.
But the IP address ofthat neighbor is not provided

Question 19
When a WPA2-PSK WLAN is configured in the Wireless LAN Controller, what is the minimum number of
characters that is required in ASCII format?
O A. 6
O B. 8
O C. 12
O D. 18

Answer: B

Question 20
Which feature or protocol determines whether the QOS on the network is sufficient to support IP services?
O A. LLDP
O B CDP
O C. IP SLA
O D. EEM

Answer: C
Section: IP Services
Explanation:
IP SLA allows an IT professional to collect information about network performance in real time. Therefore, it
helps determine whether the QoS on the network is sufficient for IP services or not
Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager (EEM) is a powerful and flexible subsystem that provides real-time
network event detection and onboard automation. It gives you the ability to adapt the behavior of your
network devices to align with your business needs.
