Question 4 ( Single Topic ) 

A frame that enters a switch fails the Frame Check Sequence. Which two interface counters are incremented? (Choose two.)

A. input errors
B. frame
C. giants
D. CRC
E. runts

Answer : AD

Whenever the physical transmission has problems, the receiving device might receive a frame whose bits have changed values. These frames do not pass the error detection logic as implemented in the FCS field in the
Ethernet trailer. The receiving device discards the frame and counts it as some kind of input error.
Cisco switches list this error as a CRC error. Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is a term related to how the FCS math detects an error.
The ‫ג‬€input errors‫ג‬€ includes runts, giants, no buffer, CRC, frame, overrun, and ignored counts.
The output below show the interface counters with the ‫ג‬€show interface s0/0/0‫ג‬€ command:

Answer :

This subnet question requires us to grasp how to subnet very well. To quickly find out the subnet range, we have to find out the increment and the network address of each subnet. Let‫ג‬€™s take an example with the
subnet 172.28.228.144/18:
From the /18 (= 1100 0000 in the 3rd octet), we find out the increment is 64. Therefore the network address of this subnet must be the greatest multiple of the increment but not greater than the value in the 3rd octet
(228). We can find out the 3rd octet of the network address is 192 (because 192 = 64 * 3 and 192 < 228) -
> The network address is 172.28.192.0. So the first usable host should be 172.28.192.1 and it matches with the 5th answer on the right. In this case we don‫ג‬€™t need to calculate the broadcast address because we
found the correct answer.
Let‫ג‬€™s take another example with subnet 172.28.228.144/23 -> The increment is 2 (as /23 = 1111 1110 in 3rd octet) -> The 3rd octet of the network address is 228
(because 228 is the multiply of 2 and equal to the 3rd octet) -> The network address is 172.28.228.0 -> The first usable host is 172.28.228.1. It is not necessary but if we want to find out the broadcast address of this
subnet, we can find out the next network address, which is 172.28.(228 + the increment number).0 or
172.28.230.0 then reduce 1 bit -> 172.28.229.255 is the broadcast address of our subnet. Therefore the last usable host is 172.28.229.254.

Question 8 ( Single Topic ) 

In which way does a spine-and-leaf architecture allow for scalability in a network when additional access ports are required?

A. A spine switch and a leaf switch can be added with redundant connections between them.
B. A spine switch can be added with at least 40 GB uplinks.
C. A leaf switch can be added with connections to every spine switch.
D. A leaf switch can be added with a single connection to a core spine switch.

Answer : C

Spine-leaf architecture is typically deployed as two layers: spines (such as an aggregation layer), and leaves (such as an access layer). Spine-leaf topologies provide high-bandwidth, low-latency, nonblocking server-to-
server connectivity.
Leaf (aggregation) switches are what provide devices access to the fabric (the network of spine and leaf switches) and are typically deployed at the top of the rack. Generally, devices connect to the leaf switches.
Devices can include servers, Layer 4-7 services (firewalls and load balancers), and WAN or Internet routers.
Leaf switches do not connect to other leaf switches. In spine-and-leaf architecture, every leaf should connect to every spine in a full mesh.
Spine (aggregation) switches are used to connect to all leaf switches and are typically deployed at the end or middle of the row. Spine switches do not connect to other spine switches.

Question 10 ( Single Topic )


Which command automatically generates an IPv6 address from a specified IPv6 prefix and MAC address of an interface?

A. ipv6 address dhcp

B. ipv6 address 2001:DB8:5:112::/64 eui-64
C. ipv6 address autoconfig
D. ipv6 address 2001:DB8:5:112::2/64 link-local

Answer : C

The ‫ג‬€ipv6 address autoconfig‫ג‬€ command causes the device to perform IPv6 stateless address auto-configuration to discover prefixes on the link and then to add the EUI-64 based addresses to the interface.
Addresses are configured depending on the prefixes received in Router Advertisement (RA) messages. The device will listen for RA messages which are transmitted periodically from the router (DHCP Server). This
RA message allows a host to create a global IPv6 address from:
‫ג‬€¢ Its interface identifier (EUI-64 address)
‫ג‬€¢ Link Prefix (obtained via RA)
Note: Global address is the combination of Link Prefix and EUI-64 address

Question 11 ( Single Topic ) 

When configuring IPv6 on an interface, which two IPv6 multicast groups are joined? (Choose two.)

A. 2000::/3
B. 2002::5
C. FC00::/7
D. FF02::1
E. FF02::2

Answer : DE

When an interface is configured with IPv6 address, it automatically joins the all nodes (FF02::1) and solicited-node (FF02::1:FFxx:xxxx) multicast groups. The all- node group is used to communicate with all
interfaces on the local link, and the solicited-nodes multicast group is required for link-layer address resolution.
Routers also join a third multicast group, the all-routers group (FF02::2).

4/7/23, 5:04 PM 200-301 Exam - Free Questions and Answers - ITExams.com

Answer : C

If the destination MAC address is not in the CAM table (unknown destination MAC address), the switch sends the frame out all other ports that are in the same
VLAN as the received frame. This is called flooding. It does not flood the frame out the same port on which the frame was received.

A. link-local
B. unique local
C. multicast
D. global unicast

Answer : B

A IPv6 Unique Local Address is an IPv6 address in the block FC00::/7. It is the approximate IPv6 counterpart of the IPv4 private address. It is not routable on the global Internet.
Note: In the past, Site-local addresses (FEC0::/10) are equivalent to private IP addresses in IPv4 but now they are deprecated.
Link-local addresses only used for communications within the local subnet. It is usually created dynamically using a link-local prefix of FE80::/10 and a 64-bit interface identifier (based on 48-bit MAC address).

4/7/23, 5:04 PM 200-301 Exam - Free Questions and Answers - ITExams.com
D. FF00::/8

Answer : D

FF00::/8 is used for IPv6 multicast and this is the IPv6 type of address the question wants to ask.
FE80::/10 range is used for link-local addresses. Link-local addresses only used for communications within the local subnetwork (automatic address configuration, neighbor discovery, router discovery, and by many
routing protocols). It is only valid on the current subnet. It is usually created dynamically using a link-local prefix of FE80::/10 and a 64-bit interface identifier (based on 48-bit MAC address).

Question 19 ( Single Topic )


What are two reasons that cause late collisions to increment on an Ethernet interface? (Choose two.)

A. when Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection is used

B. when one side of the connection is configured for half-duplex
C. when the sending device waits 15 seconds before sending the frame again
D. when a collision occurs after the 32nd byte of a frame has been transmitted
E. when the cable length limits are exceeded

Answer : BE

A late collision is defined as any collision that occurs after the first 512 bits (or 64th byte) of the frame have been transmitted. The usual possible causes are full- duplex/half-duplex mismatch, exceeded Ethernet cable
length limits, or defective hardware such as incorrect cabling, non-compliant number of hubs in the network, or a bad NIC.
Late collisions should never occur in a properly designed Ethernet network. They usually occur when Ethernet cables are too long or when there are too many repeaters in the network.


Which action is taken by switch port enabled for PoE power classification override?

A. If a monitored port exceeds the maximum administrative value for power, the port is shutdown and err-disabled.
B. When a powered device begins drawing power from a PoE switch port, a syslog message is generated.
C. As power usage on a PoE switch port is checked, data flow to the connected device is temporarily paused.
D. If a switch determines that a device is using less than the minimum configured power, it assumes the device has failed and disconnects it.

Answer : A

PoE monitoring and policing compares the power consumption on ports with the administrative maximum value (either a configured maximum value or the port‫ג‬€™s default value). If the power consumption on a
monitored port exceeds the administrative maximum value, the following actions occur:
- A syslog message is issued.
- The monitored port is shut down and error-disabled.
- The allocated power is freed.

A. small and needs to reduce networking costs

B. large and must minimize downtime when hardware fails
C. large and requires a flexible, scalable network design
D. currently small but is expected to grow dramatically in the near future

Answer : A

It is ideal for small companies: The collapsed core model is a reduced version of the three-tier model. The deduction was made to create a network for small and medium-sized campuses. Therefore, smaller
institutions can get the advantage of using a collapsed core network while still gaining the same benefits they would if they were using a three-tier model. Small organizations often cannot afford the hardware and
human resources to run the network can benefit greatly with less oversight necessary.
And reduces cost: In a traditional three-tier campus network, the core layer is typically a complex and expensive piece of hardware. This layer is eliminated with collapsed core architecture, reducing both cost and
complexity.
