Cisco 400-101 Free Practice Questions

Q1. Refer to the exhibit. 

If OSPF is implemented on the network, which additional configuration is needed to allow traffic from host 10.4.1.15/24 to host 10.1.2.20/24? 

A. A virtual link between router 2 and router 4 

B. A virtual link between router 3 and router 4 

C. A virtual link between router 2 and router 3 

D. The current design allows traffic between the two hosts. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

This specific traffic from 10.4.1.0/24 to 10.1.2.0/24 would work because this traffic crosses only over the single OSPF area of 0.0.0.1. 

However, traffic from hosts on R4 to R1 would indeed need a virtual link, since area 0.0.0.2 is not connected to the backbone area of 0.0.0.0. 

Q2. Refer to the exhibit.

A. Each neighbor receives its own router ID in a hello packet from the other neighbor. 

B. Each neighbor receives a hello message from the other neighbor. 

C. It is valid only on NBMA networks. 

D. It is valid only on point-to-point networks. 

E. Each neighbor receives an acknowledgement of its own hello packet from the other neighbor.

Q5. Which option describes a limitation of Embedded Packet Capture? 

A. It can capture data only on physical interfaces and subinterfaces. 

B. It can store only packet data. 

C. It can capture multicast packets only on ingress. 

D. It can capture multicast packets only on egress. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

Restrictions for Embedded Packet Capture 

. In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE, EPC is supported only on 7200 platform. 

. EPC only captures multicast packets on ingress and does not capture the replicated packets on egress. 

. Currently, the capture file can only be exported off the device; for example, TFTP or FTP servers and local disk. 

Reference: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/epc/configuration/15-mt/epc-15-mt-book/nm-packet-capture.html 

Q6. Which two options are EIGRP route authentication encryption modes? (Choose two.) 

A. MD5 

B. HMAC-SHA-256bit 

C. ESP-AES 

D. HMAC-AES 

Answer: A,B 

Explanation: 

Packets exchanged between neighbors must be authenticated to ensure that a device accepts packets only from devices that have the same preshared authentication key. Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) authentication is configurable on a per-interface basis; this means that packets exchanged between neighbors connected through an interface are authenticated. EIGRP supports message digest algorithm 5 (MD5) authentication to prevent the introduction of unauthorized information from unapproved sources. MD5 authentication is defined in RFC 1321. EIGRP also supports the Hashed Message Authentication Code-Secure Hash Algorithm-256 (HMAC-SHA-256) authentication method.

Q7. Refer to the exhibit. 

While troubleshooting high CPU utilization of a Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Switch, you notice the error message that is shown in the exhibit in the log file. 

What can be the cause of this issue, and how can it be prevented? 

A. The hardware routing table is full. Redistribute from BGP into IGP. 

B. The software routing table is full. Redistribute from BGP into IGP. 

C. The hardware routing table is full. Reduce the number of routes in the routing table. 

D. The software routing table is full. Reduce the number of routes in the routing table. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

L3HWFORWADING-2 

Error MessageC4K_L3HWFORWARDING-2-FWDCAMFULL:L3 routing table is full. 

Switching to software forwarding. 

The hardware routing table is full; forwarding takes place in the software instead. The switch performance might be degraded. 

Recommended Action: Reduce the size of the routing table. Enter the ip cef command to return to hardware forwarding.

Q8. Which three statements about EIGRP and BFD are true? (Choose three.) 

A. BFD is independent of the routing protocol, so it can be used as a generic failure detection mechanism for EIGRP. 

B. Some parts of BFD can be distributed to the data plane, so it can be less CPU-intensive than reduced timers, which exist wholly at the control plane. 

C. Reduced EIGRP timers have an absolute minimum detection timer of 1-2 seconds; BFD can provide sub-second failure detection. 

D. BFD is tied to specific routing protocols and can be used for generic fault detection for the OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP routing protocols. 

E. BFD is dependent on the EIGRP routing protocol, so it can be used as a specific failure detection mechanism. 

F. BFD resides on the control plane, so it is less CPU-intensive than if it resided on the data plane. 

Answer: A,B,C 

Explanation: 

There are several advantages to implementing BFD over reduced timer mechanisms for routing protocols: 

. Although reducing the EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF timers can result in minimum detection timer of one to two seconds, BFD can provide failure detection in less than one second. 

. Because BFD is not tied to any particular routing protocol, it can be used as a generic and consistent failure detection mechanism for EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF. 

. Because some parts of BFD can be distributed to the data plane, it can be less CPU-intensive than the reduced EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF timers, which exist wholly at the control plane.

Q9. Refer to the exhibit. 

You must complete the configuration on R1 so that a maximum of three links can be used and fragmentation is supported. 

Which additional configuration accomplishes this task? 

A. interface Multilink19 

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 

ppp multilink 

ppp multilink group 19 

ppp multilink links minimum 1 

ppp multilink links maximum 3 

ppp multilink interleave 

B. interface Multilink19 

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 

ppp multilink 

ppp multilink group 19 

ppp multilink links maximum 3 

ppp multilink fragment delay 20 

C. interface Multilink19 

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 

ppp multilink 

ppp multilink group 19 

ppp multilink links maximum 3 

ppp multilink fragment delay 20 

ppp multilink interleave 

D. interface Multilink19 

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.252 

ppp multilink 

ppp multilink group 19 

ppp multilink links maximum 3 

ppp multilink interleave 

Answer:

Explanation: 

The “ppp multilink interleave” command is needed to enable link fragmentation and Interleaving (LFI). The Cisco IOS Link Fragmentation and Interleaving (LFI) feature uses Multilink PPP (MLP). MLP provides a method of splitting, recombining, and sequencing datagrams across multiple logical data links. MLP allows packets to be fragmented and the fragments to be sent at the same time over multiple point-to-point links to the same remote address. 

ppp multilink links maximum 

To limit the maximum number of links that Multilink PPP (MLP) can dial for dynamic allocation, use the ppp multilink links maximum command in interface configuration mode.

Q10. Refer to the exhibit. 

Which statement about this device configuration is true? 

A. The NMS needs a specific route configured to enable it to reach the Loopback0 interface of the device. 

B. The ifindex of the device could be different when the device is reloaded. 

C. The device will allow anyone to poll it via the public community. 

D. The device configuration requires the AuthNoPriv security level. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

One of the most commonly used identifiers in SNMP-based network management applications is the Interface Index (ifIndex) value. IfIndex is a unique identifying number associated with a physical or logical interface. For most software, the ifIndex is the name of the interface. Although relevant RFCs do not require that the correspondence between particular ifIndex values and their interfaces be maintained across reboots, applications such as device inventory, billing, and fault detection depend on this correspondence. Consider a situation where a simple monitoring software (like MRTG) is polling the interface statistics of the router specific serial interface going to the internet. 

As an example, you could have these conditions prior to re-initialization: 

physical port ifIndex 

ethernet port 

tokenring port 

serial port 

Therefore, the management application is polling the ifIndex 3, which corresponds to the serial port. 

After the router re-initialization (reboot, reload and so on) the conditions change to something similar to this: 

physical port 

ifIndex 

ethernet port 

tokenring port 

serial port 

The management application continues polling the ifIndex 3, which corresponds now to the ethernet port. Therefore, if the management application is not warned by a trap, for example, that the router has been rebooted, the statistics polled could be completely wrong.

Q12. What is the function of an implicit-null label? 

A. It notifies the upstream LSR to remove the top label in the label stack and forward the packet. 

B. It notifies the upstream LSR to add a VPN label to the label stack. 

C. It is used to statically assign a label to an IGP route. 

D. It is used to identify the router ID. 

Answer:

Q13. Which statement about the feasibility condition in EIGRP is true? 

A. The prefix is reachable via an EIGRP peer that is in the routing domain of the router. 

B. The EIGRP peer that advertises the prefix to the router has multiple paths to the destination. 

C. The EIGRP peer that advertises the prefix to the router is closer to the destination than the router. 

D. The EIGRP peer that advertises the prefix cannot be used as a next hop to reach the destination. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

The advertised metric from an EIGRP neighbor (peer) to the local router is called Advertised Distance (or reported distance) while the metric from the local router to that network is called Feasible Distance. For example, R1 advertises network 10.10.10.0/24 with a metric of 20 to R2. For R2, this is the advertised distance. R2 calculates the feasible distance by adding the metric from the advertised router (R1) to itself. So in this case the feasible distance to network 10.10.10.0/24 is 20 + 50 = 70. 

Before a router can be considered a feasible successor, it must pass the feasibility condition rule. In short, the feasibility condition says that if we learn about a prefix from a neighbor, the advertised distance from that neighbor to the destination must be lower than our feasible distance to that same destination. Therefore we see the Advertised Distance always smaller than the Feasible Distance to satisfy the feasibility condition. 

Q14. Which two actions can you take to recover an interface in a errdisable state? (Choose two.) 

A. Enable UDLD on the switch. 

B. Enable errdisable recovery on the switch.
