Sample Question and Answers
QUESTION 1
What are two benefits of YANG? (Choose two.)
A. It enforces the use of a specific encoding format for NETCONF.
B. It collects statistical constraint analysis information.
C. It enables multiple leaf statements to exist within a leaf list.
D. It enforces configuration semantics.
E. It enforces configuration constraints.
Answer: A, E
QUESTION 3
Refer to the exhibit.
An engineer must create a configuration that executes the show run command and then terminates the session when user CCNP legs in. Which configuration change is required?
A. Add the access-class keyword to the username command
B. Add the access-class keyword to the aaa authentication command
C. Add the autocommand keyword to the username command
D. Add the autocommand keyword to the aaa authentication command
Answer: C
Explanation:
The •autocommand– causes the specified command to be issued automatically after the user logs
in. When the command is complete, the session is terminated. Because the command can be any
length and can contain embedded spaces, commands using the autocommand keyword must be the
last option on the line. In this specific question, we have to enter this line •username CCNP
autocommand show running-config–.
QUESTION 4
Wireless users report frequent disconnections from the wireless network.
While troubleshooting a network engineer finds that after the user a disconnect, the connection re-establishes automatically
without any input required. The engineer also notices these message logs .
Which action reduces the user impact?
A. increase the AP heartbeat timeout
B. increase BandSelect
C. enable coverage hole detection
D. increase the dynamic channel assignment interval
Answer: D
Explanation:
These message logs inform that the radio channel has been reset (and the AP must be down briefly). With dynamic channel assignment (DCA), the radios can
frequently switch from one channel to another but it also makes disruption. The default DCA interval is 10 minutes,
which is matched with the time of the message logs. By increasing the DCA interval, we can reduce the number of times our users are disconnected for changing radio channels.
QUESTION 6
What is used to perform OoS packet classification?
A. the Options field in the Layer 3 header
B. the Type field in the Layer 2 frame
C. the Flags field in the Layer 3 header
D. the TOS field in the Layer 3 header
Answer: D
Explanation:
Type of service, when we talk about PACKET, means layer 3
QUESTION 7
What is the recommended MTU size for a Cisco SD-Access Fabric?
A. 1500
B. 9100
C. 4464
D. 17914
Answer: B
QUESTION 8
Refer to the Exhibit.
Refer to the exhibit. After configurating an IPsec VPN, an engineer enters the show command to verify the ISAKMP SA status. What does the status show?
A. ISAKMP SA is authenticated and can be used for Quick Mode.
B. Peers have exchanged keys, but ISAKMP SA remains unauthenticated.
C. VPN peers agreed on parameters for the ISAKMP SA
D. ISAKMP SA has been created, but it has not continued to form.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The ISAKMP SA has been authenticated. If the router initiated this exchange, this state transitions
immediately to QM_IDLE, and a Quick Mode exchange begins.
