Q31. - (Topic 1) 

At which layer of the OSI model is RSTP used to prevent loops? 

A. physical 

B. data link 

C. network 

D. transport 

Answer:

Explanation: RSTP and STP operate on switches and are based on the exchange of Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) between switches. One of the most important fields in BPDUs is the Bridge Priority in which the MAC address is used to elect the Root Bridge , RSTP operates at Layer 2. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk621/technologies_white_paper09186a0080094cf a.shtml 


Q32. - (Topic 1) 

What is one benefit of PVST+? 

A. PVST+ supports Layer 3 load balancing without loops. 

B. PVST+ reduces the CPU cycles for all the switches in the network. 

C. PVST+ allows the root switch location to be optimized per VLAN. 

D. PVST+ automatically selects the root bridge location, to provide optimized bandwidth usage. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

Per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST) Introduction http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk621/tk846/tsd_technology_support_sub-protocol_home.html Per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST) maintains a spanning tree instance for each VLAN configured in the network. This means a switch can be the root bridge of a VLAN while another switch can be the root bridge of other VLANs in a common topology. For example, Switch 1 can be the root bridge for Voice data while Switch 2 can be the root bridge for Video data. If designed correctly, it can optimize the network traffic. http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=102157&seqNum=4

Q34. - (Topic 2) 

What are two benefits of using a single OSPF area network design? (Choose two.) 

A. It is less CPU intensive for routers in the single area. 

B. It reduces the types of LSAs that are generated. 

C. It removes the need for virtual links. 

D. It increases LSA response times. 

E. It reduces the number of required OSPF neighbor adjacencies. 

Answer: B,C 

Explanation: 

OSPF uses a LSDB (link state database) and fills this with LSAs (link state advertisement). The link types are as follows: 

LSA Type 1:. Router LSA  

LSA Type 2:.. . . . . . . .  Network LSA  

LSA Type 3:. Summary LSA  

LSA Type 4:. Summary ASBR LSA  

LSA Type 5:. Autonomous system external LSA  

LSA Type 6:. Multicast OSPF LSA  

LSA Type 7:. Not-so-stubby area LSA  

LSA Type 8:. External attribute LSA for BGP  

If all routers are in the same area, then many of these LSA types (Summary ASBR LSA, external LSA, etc) will not be used and will not be generated by any router. 

All areas in an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) autonomous system must be physically connected to the backbone area (Area 0). In some cases, where this is not possible, you can use a virtual link to connect to the backbone through a non-backbone area. You can also use virtual links to connect two parts of a partitioned backbone through a non-backbone area. The area through which you configure the virtual link, known as a transit area, must have full routing information. The transit area cannot be a stub area. Virtual links are not ideal and should really only be used for temporary network solutions or migrations. However, if all locations are in a single OSPF area this is not needed. 


Q35. - (Topic 2) 

What information does a router running a link-state protocol use to build and maintain its topological database? (Choose two.) 

A. hello packets 

B. SAP messages sent by other routers 

C. LSAs from other routers 

D. beacons received on point-to-point links 

E. routing tables received from other link-state routers 

F. TTL packets from designated routers 

Answer: A,C 

Explanation: 

Link State Routing Protocols http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=24090&seqNum=4 

Link state protocols, sometimes called shortest path first or distributed database protocols, are built around a well-known algorithm from graph theory, E. W. Dijkstra'a shortest path algorithm. Examples of link state routing protocols are: Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) for IP The ISO's Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) for CLNS and IP DEC's DNA Phase V Novell's NetWare Link Services Protocol (NLSP) Although link state protocols are rightly considered more complex than distance vector protocols, the basic functionality is not complex at all: 

1. Each router establishes a relationship—an adjacency—with each of its neighbors. 

2. Each router sends link state advertisements (LSAs), some 

3. Each router stores a copy of all the LSAs it has seen in a database. If all works well, the databases in all routers should be identical. 

4. The completed topological database, also called the link state database, describes a graph of the internetwork. Using the Dijkstra algorithm, each router calculates the shortest path to each network and enters this information into the route table.

Q36. - (Topic 2) 

Which parameter would you tune to affect the selection of a static route as a backup, when a dynamic protocol is also being used? 

A. hop count 

B. administrative distance 

C. link bandwidth 

D. link delay 

E. link cost 

Answer:

Explanation: 

What Is Administrative Distance? 

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094195.shtml 

Administrative distance is the feature that routers use in order to select the best path. Administrative distance defines the reliability of a routing protocol. Each routing protocol is prioritized in order of most to least reliable (believable) with the help of an administrative distance value. Lowest Administrative distance will be chosen first. 


Q37. - (Topic 3) 

Refer to the exhibit. 

The show interfaces serial 0/1 command was issued on the R10-1 router. Based on the output displayed which statement is correct? 

A. The cable connected to the serial 0/1 interface of the R10-1 router is a DTE cable. 

B. The R10-1 router can ping the router interface connected to the serial 0/1 interface. 

C. The clock rate used for interface serial 0/1 of the R10-1 router is 1,544,000 bits per second. 

D. The CSU used with the serial 0/1 interface of the R10-1 router has lost connection to the service provider. 

E. The interface of the remote router connected to the serial 0/1 interface of the R10-1 router is using the default serial interface encapsulation. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

Cisco High-Level Data Link Controller (HDLC) is the Cisco proprietary protocol for Cisco HDLC is the default encapsulation type for the serial interfaces. 


Q38. - (Topic 2) 

What does a router do if it has no EIGRP feasible successor route to a destination network and the successor route to that destination network is in active status? 

A. It routes all traffic that is addressed to the destination network to the interface indicated in the routing table. 

B. It sends a copy of its neighbor table to all adjacent routers. 

C. It sends a multicast query packet to all adjacent neighbors requesting available routing paths to the destination network. 

D. It broadcasts Hello packets to all routers in the network to re-establish neighbor adjacencies. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

Introduction to EIGRP Reference: 

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a0080093f07.shtml 

Feasible Successors 

A destination entry is moved from the topology table to the routing table when there is a feasible successor. All minimum cost paths to the destination form a set. From this set, the neighbors that have an advertised metric less than the current routing table metric are considered feasible successors. 

Feasible successors are viewed by a router as neighbors that are downstream with respect to the destination. 

These neighbors and the associated metrics are placed in the forwarding table. 

When a neighbor changes the metric it has been advertising or a topology change occurs in the network, the set of feasible successors may have to be re-evaluated. However, this is not categorized as a route recomputation. 

Route States 

A topology table entry for a destination can have one of two states. A route is considered in the Passive state when a router is not performing a route recomputation. The route is in Active state when a router is undergoing a route recomputation. If there are always feasible successors, a route never has to go into Active state and avoids a route recomputation. 

When there are no feasible successors, a route goes into Active state and a route recomputation occurs. A route recomputation commences with a router sending a query packet to all neighbors. Neighboring routers can either reply if they have feasible successors for the destination or optionally return a query indicating that they are performing a route recomputation. While in Active state, a router cannot change the next-hop neighbor it is using to forward packets. Once all replies are received for a given query, the destination can transition to Passive state and a new successor can be selected. 

When a link to a neighbor that is the only feasible successor goes down, all routes through that neighbor commence a route recomputation and enter the Active state. 


Q39. - (Topic 2) 

Which parameter or parameters are used to calculate OSPF cost in Cisco routers? 

A. Bandwidth 

B. Bandwidth and Delay 

C. Bandwidth, Delay, and MTU 

D. Bandwidth, MTU, Reliability, Delay, and Load 

Answer:

Explanation: 

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_white_paper09186a0080094e9e.sht ml#t6 

OSPF Cost 

The cost (also called metric) of an interface in OSPF is an indication of the overhead required to send packets across a certain interface. The cost of an interface is inversely proportional to the bandwidth of that interface. A higher bandwidth indicates a lower cost. There is more overhead (higher cost) and time delays involved in crossing a 56k serial line than crossing a 10M Ethernet line. The formula used to calculate the cost is: Cost= 10000 0000/bandwidth in bps 

For example, it will cost 10 EXP8/10 EXP7 = 10 to cross a 10M Ethernet line and will cost 10 EXP8/1544000 =64 to cross a T1 line. By default, the cost of an interface is calculated based on the bandwidth; you can force the cost of an interface with the ip ospf cost <value> interface sub configuration mode command. 


Q40. - (Topic 1) 

Which port state is introduced by Rapid-PVST? 

A. learning 

B. listening 

C. discarding 

D. forwarding 

Answer:

Explanation: 

Spanning Tree from PVST+ to Rapid-PVST Migration Configuration Example Reference 1: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_configuration_example 09186a00807b0670.shtml 

Reference 2: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk621/technologies_white_paper09186a0080094cf a.shtml 

PVST+ is based on IEEE802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). But PVST+ has only 3 port states (discarding, learning and forwarding) while STP has 5 port states (blocking, listening, learning, forwarding and disabled). So discarding is a new port state in PVST+. 

Background Information 

802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) has a drawback of slow convergence. Cisco 

Catalyst switches support three types of STPs, which are PVST+, rapid-PVST+ and MST. 

PVST+ is based on IEEE802.1D standard and includes Cisco proprietary extensions such 

as BackboneFast, UplinkFast, and PortFast. Rapid-PVST+ is based on IEEE 802.1w 

standard and has a faster convergence than 802.1D. RSTP (IEEE 802.1w) natively 

includes most of the Cisco proprietary enhancements to the 802.1D Spanning Tree, such 

as BackboneFast and UplinkFast. Rapid-PVST+ has these unique features: 

Uses Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) version 2 which is backward compatible with the 

802.1D STP, which uses BPDU version 0. 

All the switches generate BPDUs and send out on all the ports every 2 seconds, whereas 

in 802.1D STP only the root bridge sends the configuration BPDUs. 

Port Roles—Root port, designated port, alternate port and backup port. 

Port States—Discarding, Learning, and Forwarding. 

Port Types—Edge Port (PortFast), Point-to-Point and Shared port. 

Rapid-PVST uses RSTP to provide faster convergence. When any RSTP port receives 

legacy 802.1D BPDU, it falls back to legacy STP and the inherent fast convergence 

benefits of 802.1w are lost when it interacts with legacy bridges.
