Q2. Refer to the exhibit. 

Based on this FIB table, which statement is correct? 

A. There is no default gateway. 

B. The IP address of the router on FastEthernet is 209.168.201.1. 

C. The gateway of last resort is 192.168.201.1. 

D. The router will listen for all multicast traffic. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

The 0.0.0.0/0 route is the default route and is listed as the first CEF entry. Here we see the next hop for this default route lists 192.168.201.1 as the default router (gateway of last resort).

Q3. Which two functions are completely independent when implementing NAT64 over NAT-PT? (Choose two.) 

A. DNS 

B. NAT 

C. port redirection 

D. stateless translation 

E. session handling 

Answer: A,B 

Explanation: 

Network Address Translation IPv6 to IPv4, or NAT64, technology facilitates communication

between IPv6-only and IPv4-only hosts and networks (whether in a transit, an access, or an edge

network). This solution allows both enterprises and ISPs to accelerate IPv6 adoption while simultaneously

handling IPv4 address depletion. The DNS64 and NAT64 functions are completely separated, which is

essential to the superiority of NAT64 over NAT-PT. Reference: http:// www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/

Q4. Which three items can you track when you use two time stamps with IP SLAs? (Choose three.) 

A. delay 

B. jitter 

C. packet loss 

D. load 

E. throughput 

F. path 

Answer: A,B,C

Q5. Refer to the exhibit. The network setup is running the RIP routing protocol. Which two events will occur following link failure between R2 and R3? (Choose two.) 

A. R2 will advertise network 192.168.2.0/27 with a hop count of 16 to R1. 

B. R2 will not send any advertisements and will remove route 192.168.2.0/27 from its routing table. 

C. R1 will reply to R2 with the advertisement for network 192.168.2.0/27 with a hop count of 16. 

D. After communication fails and after the hold-down timer expires, R1 will remove the 192.168.2.0/27 route from its routing table. 

E. R3 will not accept any further updates from R2, due to the split-horizon loop prevention mechanism. 

Answer: A,C 

Explanation: 

Q6. After you review the output of the command show ipv6 interface brief, you see that several IPv6 addresses have the 16-bit hexadecimal value of "FFFE" inserted into the address. Based on this information, what do you conclude about these IPv6 addresses? 

A. IEEE EUI-64 was implemented when assigning IPv6 addresses on the device. 

B. The addresses were misconfigured and will not function as intended. 

C. IPv6 addresses containing "FFFE" indicate that the address is reserved for multicast. 

D. The IPv6 universal/local flag (bit 7) was flipped. 

E. IPv6 unicast forwarding was enabled, but IPv6 Cisco Express Forwarding was disabled. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

Extended Unique Identifier (EUI), as per RFC2373, allows a host to assign iteslf a unique 64-

Bit IP Version 6 interface identifier (EUI-64). This feature is a key benefit over IPv4 as it eliminates the

need of manual configuration or DHCP as in the world of IPv4. The IPv6 EUI-64 format address is obtained

through the 48-bit MAC address. The Mac address is first separated into two 24-bits, with one being OUI

(Organizationally Unique Identifier) and the other being NIC specific. The 16-bit 0xFFFE is then inserted

between these two 24-bits to for the 64-bit EUI address. IEEE has chosen FFFE as a reserved value which

can only appear in EUI-64 generated from the an EUI-48 MAC address. Here is an example showing how

a the Mac Address is used to generate EUI.

Next, the seventh bit from the left, or the universal/local (U/L) bit, needs to be inverted. This bit identifies whether this interface identifier is universally or locally administered. If 0, the address is locally

administered and if 1, the address is globally unique. It is worth noticing that in the OUI portion, the globally

unique addresses assigned by the IEEE has always been set to 0 whereas the locally created addresses

has 1 configured. Therefore, when the bit is inverted, it maintains its original scope (global unique address

is still global unique and vice versa). The reason for inverting can be found in RFC4291 section 2.5.1.

Once the above is done, we have a fully functional EUI-64 format address.

Explanation: 

Q11. An organization decides to implement NetFlow on its network to monitor the fluctuation of traffic that is disrupting core services. After reviewing the output of NetFlow, the network engineer is unable to see OUT traffic on the interfaces. What can you determine based on this information? 

A. Cisco Express Forwarding has not been configured globally. 

B. NetFlow output has been filtered by default. 

C. Flow Export version 9 is in use. 

D. The command ip flow-capture fragment-offset has been enabled. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

We came across a recent issue where a user setup a router for NetFlow export but was unable to see the

OUT traffic for the interfaces in NetFlow Analyzer. Every NetFlow configuration aspect was checked and

nothing incorrect was found. That is when we noticed the `no ip cef' command on the router. CEF was

enabled at the global level and within seconds, NetFlow Analyzer started showing OUT traffic for the

interfaces. This is why this topic is about Cisco Express Forwarding.

What is switching?

A Router must make decisions about where to forward the packets passing through. This decision-making

process is called "switching". Switching is what a router does when it makes the following decisions:

1.Whether to forward or not forward the packets after checking that the destination for the packet is

reachable.

2.If the destination is reachable, what is the next hop of the router and which interface will the router use to

get to that destination.

What is CEF?

CEF is one of the available switching options for Cisco routers. Based on the routing table, CEF creates its

own table, called the Forwarding Information Base (FIB). The FIB is organized differently than the routing

table and CEF uses the FIB to decide which interface to send traffic from. CEF offers the following

benefits:

1.Better performance than fast-switching (the default) and takes less CPU to perform the same task.

2.When enabled, allows for advanced features like NBAR

3.Overall, CEF can switch traffic faster than route-caching using fast-switching

How to enable CEF?

CEF is disabled by default on all routers except the 7xxx series routers. Enabling and Disabling CEF is

easy. To enable CEF, go into global configuration mode and

enter the CEF command.

Router# config t

Router(config)# ip cef

Router(config)#

To disable CEF, simply use the `no' form of the command, ie. `no ip cef`.

Why CEF Needed when enabling NetFlow ?

CEF is a prerequisite to enable NetFlow on the router interfaces. CEF decides through which interface

traffic is exiting the router. Any NetFlow analyzer product will calculate the OUT traffic for an interface

based on the Destination Interface value present in the NetFlow packets exported from the router. If the

CEF is disabled on the router, the NetFlow packets exported from the router will have "Destination

interface" as "null" and this leads NetFlow Analyzer to show no OUT traffic for the interfaces. Without

enabling the CEF on the router, the NetFlow packets did not mark the destination interfaces and so

NetFlow Analyzer was not able to show the OUT traffic for the interfaces. Reference: https://

blogs.manageengine.com/network-2/netflowanalyzer/2010/05/19/need-for-cef- in-netflow-data-export.html

Q12. What is a function of NPTv6? 

A. It interferes with encryption of the full IP payload. 

B. It maintains a per-node state. 

C. It is checksum-neutral. 

D. It rewrites transport layer headers. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

RFC 6296 describes a stateless IPv6-to-IPv6 Network Prefix Translation (NPTv6) function,

designed to provide address independence to the edge network. It is transport-agnostic with respect to

transports that do not checksum the IP header, such as SCTP, and to transports that use the TCP/UDP/

DCCP (Datagram Congestion Control Protocol) pseudo-header and checksum NPTv6 provides a simple

and compelling solution to meet the address-independence requirement in IPv6. The addressindependence

benefit stems directly from the translation function of the network prefix translator. To avoid

as many of the issues associated with NAPT44 as possible, NPTv6 is defined to include a two-way,

checksum-neutral, algorithmic translation function, and nothing else. Reference: http://tools.ietf.org/html/

Q13. Which protocol uses dynamic address mapping to request the next-hop protocol address for a specific connection? 

A. Frame Relay inverse ARP 

B. static DLCI mapping 

C. Frame Relay broadcast queue 

D. dynamic DLCI mapping 

Answer:

Explanation: 

Dynamic address mapping uses Frame Relay Inverse ARP to request the next-hop protocol address for a

specific connection, given its known DLCI. Responses to

Inverse ARP requests are entered in an address-to-DLCI mapping table on the router or access server; the

table is then used to supply the next-hop protocol

address or the DLCI for outgoing traffic.

Q14. Refer to the exhibit. 

Which statement about the output of the show flow-sampler command is true? 

A. The sampler matched 10 packets, each packet randomly chosen from every group of 100 packets. 

B. The sampler matched 10 packets, one packet every 100 packets. 

C. The sampler matched 10 packets, each one randomly chosen from every 100-second interval. 

D. The sampler matched 10 packets, one packet every 100 seconds. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

The sampling mode determines the algorithm that selects a subset of traffic for NetFlow

processing. In the random sampling mode that Random Sampled NetFlow uses, incoming packets are

randomly selected so that one out of each n sequential packets is selected on average for NetFlow

processing. For example, if you set the sampling rate to 1 out of 100 packets, then NetFlow might sample

the 5th, 120th, 199th, 302nd, and so on packets. This sample configuration provides NetFlow data on 1

percent of total traffic. The n value is a parameter from 1 to 65535 packets that you can configure. Table 2

Q15. A network engineer is configuring a routed interface to forward broadcasts of UDP 69, 53, and 49 to 172.20.14.225. Which command should be applied to the configuration to allow this? 

A. router(config-if)#ip helper-address 172.20.14.225 

B. router(config-if)#udp helper-address 172.20.14.225 

C. router(config-if)#ip udp helper-address 172.20.14.225 

D. router(config-if)#ip helper-address 172.20.14.225 69 53 49 

Answer:

Explanation: 

To let a router forward broadcast packet the command ip helper-address can be used. The broadcasts will

be forwarded to the unicast address which is specified with the ip helper command.

ip helper-address {ip address}

When configuring the ip helper-address command, the following broadcast packets will be forwarded by

the router by default:

TFTP - UDP port 69

Domain Name System (DNS) UDP port 53

Time service - port 37

NetBIOS Name Server - port 137

NetBIOS Datagram Server - port 138

Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) - port 67

TACACS UDP port 49 Reference: http://www.cisco-faq.com/163/forward_udp_broadcas.html
