Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) 350-401 Practice Test 39

Question 380

A post-change test follows this action: use `ip local policy route-map` when routing router-generated packets by policy. Which result demonstrates success?

  1. `show ip ospf neighbor` progresses beyond EXSTART to FULL.
  2. Locally sourced test packets follow the local policy rather than the normal destination-only route.
  3. Interface addresses share the intended subnet and hello exchange begins.
  4. Neighbor debug shows bidirectional hello recognition after correction.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Locally sourced test packets follow the local policy rather than the normal destination-only route. This is the targeted operational evidence for the change. Interface PBR does not automatically govern locally generated traffic. Merely entering the configuration or seeing a management session is less conclusive than observing the resulting behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This observation validates another operation: Make the OSPF neighbors' MTU settings consistent. OSPF database description exchange can fail when neighbors disagree on MTU. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

C:

This observation validates another operation: Align addressing and subnet membership on the connected interfaces. Neighbors need compatible directly connected interface reachability. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

D:

This observation validates another operation: Investigate one-way hello reachability and hello neighbor lists. INIT means a router sees hellos without seeing its own RID acknowledged. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

Question 381

NTP clients lose accuracy because their upstream server is not synchronized. Which action most directly addresses this situation?

  1. Choose a valid synchronized NTP source with a suitable stratum.
  2. Confirm NTP peer association and time zone reporting separately.
  3. Inspect reachability and NTP selection statistics rather than merely source order.
  4. Treat the time source as unsynchronized and restore upstream reference.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

NTP peers need credible time references before forwarding synchronized time. The most direct remediation is choose a valid synchronized NTP source with a suitable stratum. A practical acceptance test is `show ntp status` reports synchronized with a reachable reference source. This distinguishes a configured intention from operational success.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This choice addresses a different situation: Two network devices have inconsistent log timestamps despite NTP configuration. NTP synchronizes time but local display zone settings affect log formatting. It does not specifically correct the issue here: nTP clients lose accuracy because their upstream server is not synchronized.

C:

This choice addresses a different situation: A switch sees several NTP sources but a preferred source is not being used. NTP chooses usable time candidates based on peer quality and distance. It does not specifically correct the issue here: nTP clients lose accuracy because their upstream server is not synchronized.

D:

This choice addresses a different situation: Logs show NTP stratum 16 and traffic is normal. Stratum 16 signals an unusable NTP time reference. It does not specifically correct the issue here: nTP clients lose accuracy because their upstream server is not synchronized.

Question 382

An operator has applied the following change: choose a valid synchronized NTP source with a suitable stratum. Which observation best confirms it works?

  1. `show ntp associations` identifies the selected peer and event timestamps align.
  2. The association table marks the desired valid system peer.
  3. Stratum falls to a synchronized value and reference time updates.
  4. `show ntp status` reports synchronized with a reachable reference source.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

`show ntp status` reports synchronized with a reachable reference source. This is the targeted operational evidence for the change. NTP peers need credible time references before forwarding synchronized time. Merely entering the configuration or seeing a management session is less conclusive than observing the resulting behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This observation validates another operation: Confirm NTP peer association and time zone reporting separately. NTP synchronizes time but local display zone settings affect log formatting. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

B:

This observation validates another operation: Inspect reachability and NTP selection statistics rather than merely source order. NTP chooses usable time candidates based on peer quality and distance. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

C:

This observation validates another operation: Treat the time source as unsynchronized and restore upstream reference. Stratum 16 signals an unusable NTP time reference. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

Question 383

Two network devices have inconsistent log timestamps despite NTP configuration. What is the most effective configuration or design response?

  1. Evaluate IEEE 1588 PTP rather than relying on ordinary NTP accuracy.
  2. Restrict NTP peer access using appropriate access controls or authentication.
  3. Confirm NTP peer association and time zone reporting separately.
  4. Configure PAT overload against the correct public interface.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

NTP synchronizes time but local display zone settings affect log formatting. The most direct remediation is confirm NTP peer association and time zone reporting separately. A practical acceptance test is `show ntp associations` identifies the selected peer and event timestamps align. This distinguishes a configured intention from operational success.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This choice addresses a different situation: A time-sensitive industrial network needs submicrosecond clock alignment. PTP supports tighter synchronization for compatible timing hardware. It does not specifically correct the issue here: two network devices have inconsistent log timestamps despite NTP configuration.

B:

This choice addresses a different situation: An NTP service should reject time updates from unknown management hosts. Unauthenticated unrestricted time sources can corrupt system timing. It does not specifically correct the issue here: two network devices have inconsistent log timestamps despite NTP configuration.

D:

This choice addresses a different situation: Internal RFC1918 users share one public IPv4 address for outbound web. PAT uses transport port translations to share a public address. It does not specifically correct the issue here: two network devices have inconsistent log timestamps despite NTP configuration.

Question 384

After implementing confirm NTP peer association and time zone reporting separately., which operational evidence should an engineer collect?

  1. PTP clock state reports synchronized to the intended grandmaster.
  2. `show ntp associations` identifies the selected peer and event timestamps align.
  3. Unauthorized NTP peers are denied and trusted sources still synchronize.
  4. `show ip nat translations` shows many inside local addresses sharing one global IP.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

`show ntp associations` identifies the selected peer and event timestamps align. This is the targeted operational evidence for the change. NTP synchronizes time but local display zone settings affect log formatting. Merely entering the configuration or seeing a management session is less conclusive than observing the resulting behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This observation validates another operation: Evaluate IEEE 1588 PTP rather than relying on ordinary NTP accuracy. PTP supports tighter synchronization for compatible timing hardware. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

C:

This observation validates another operation: Restrict NTP peer access using appropriate access controls or authentication. Unauthenticated unrestricted time sources can corrupt system timing. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

D:

This observation validates another operation: Configure PAT overload against the correct public interface. PAT uses transport port translations to share a public address. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

Question 385

A time-sensitive industrial network needs submicrosecond clock alignment. Which change should the network engineer prioritize?

  1. Evaluate IEEE 1588 PTP rather than relying on ordinary NTP accuracy.
  2. Inspect reachability and NTP selection statistics rather than merely source order.
  3. Treat the time source as unsynchronized and restore upstream reference.
  4. Configure a static inside-source NAT mapping for the server.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

PTP supports tighter synchronization for compatible timing hardware. The most direct remediation is evaluate IEEE 1588 PTP rather than relying on ordinary NTP accuracy. A practical acceptance test is pTP clock state reports synchronized to the intended grandmaster. This distinguishes a configured intention from operational success.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This choice addresses a different situation: A switch sees several NTP sources but a preferred source is not being used. NTP chooses usable time candidates based on peer quality and distance. It does not specifically correct the issue here: a time-sensitive industrial network needs submicrosecond clock alignment.

C:

This choice addresses a different situation: Logs show NTP stratum 16 and traffic is normal. Stratum 16 signals an unusable NTP time reference. It does not specifically correct the issue here: a time-sensitive industrial network needs submicrosecond clock alignment.

D:

This choice addresses a different situation: A private internal server must be reachable at one fixed public address. Static NAT maintains a predictable inside-local to inside-global mapping. It does not specifically correct the issue here: a time-sensitive industrial network needs submicrosecond clock alignment.

Question 386

The change request says: evaluate IEEE 1588 PTP rather than relying on ordinary NTP accuracy. Which verification result is most decisive?

  1. The association table marks the desired valid system peer.
  2. Stratum falls to a synchronized value and reference time updates.
  3. Translation output shows the persistent mapping and external reachability.
  4. PTP clock state reports synchronized to the intended grandmaster.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

PTP clock state reports synchronized to the intended grandmaster. This is the targeted operational evidence for the change. PTP supports tighter synchronization for compatible timing hardware. Merely entering the configuration or seeing a management session is less conclusive than observing the resulting behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This observation validates another operation: Inspect reachability and NTP selection statistics rather than merely source order. NTP chooses usable time candidates based on peer quality and distance. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

B:

It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

Question 387

A switch sees several NTP sources but a preferred source is not being used. Which remediation best resolves the described symptom?

  1. Restrict NTP peer access using appropriate access controls or authentication.
  2. Configure PAT overload against the correct public interface.
  3. Inspect reachability and NTP selection statistics rather than merely source order.
  4. Add the subnet to the NAT match ACL and verify route direction.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

NTP chooses usable time candidates based on peer quality and distance. The most direct remediation is inspect reachability and NTP selection statistics rather than merely source order. A practical acceptance test is the association table marks the desired valid system peer. This distinguishes a configured intention from operational success.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This choice addresses a different situation: An NTP service should reject time updates from unknown management hosts. Unauthenticated unrestricted time sources can corrupt system timing. It does not specifically correct the issue here: a switch sees several NTP sources but a preferred source is not being used.

B:

This choice addresses a different situation: Internal RFC1918 users share one public IPv4 address for outbound web. PAT uses transport port translations to share a public address. It does not specifically correct the issue here: a switch sees several NTP sources but a preferred source is not being used.

D:

This choice addresses a different situation: Outbound PAT works for some VLANs but a newly added subnet has no translation. Only packets matching the NAT rule are translated. It does not specifically correct the issue here: a switch sees several NTP sources but a preferred source is not being used.

Question 388

A post-change test follows this action: inspect reachability and NTP selection statistics rather than merely source order. Which result demonstrates success?

  1. Unauthorized NTP peers are denied and trusted sources still synchronize.
  2. The association table marks the desired valid system peer.
  3. `show ip nat translations` shows many inside local addresses sharing one global IP.
  4. Translation entries appear for the new subnet without changing others.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The association table marks the desired valid system peer. This is the targeted operational evidence for the change. NTP chooses usable time candidates based on peer quality and distance. Merely entering the configuration or seeing a management session is less conclusive than observing the resulting behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This observation validates another operation: Restrict NTP peer access using appropriate access controls or authentication. Unauthenticated unrestricted time sources can corrupt system timing. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.

C:

This observation validates another operation: Configure PAT overload against the correct public interface. PAT uses transport port translations to share a public address.

Question 389

An NTP service should reject time updates from unknown management hosts. How should the team implement the required behavior?

  1. Restrict NTP peer access using appropriate access controls or authentication.
  2. Treat the time source as unsynchronized and restore upstream reference.
  3. Configure a static inside-source NAT mapping for the server.
  4. Correct the NAT inside/outside interface roles.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Unauthenticated unrestricted time sources can corrupt system timing. The most direct remediation is restrict NTP peer access using appropriate access controls or authentication. A practical acceptance test is unauthorized NTP peers are denied and trusted sources still synchronize. This distinguishes a configured intention from operational success.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This choice addresses a different situation: Logs show NTP stratum 16 and traffic is normal. Stratum 16 signals an unusable NTP time reference. It does not specifically correct the issue here: an NTP service should reject time updates from unknown management hosts.

C:

This choice addresses a different situation: A private internal server must be reachable at one fixed public address. Static NAT maintains a predictable inside-local to inside-global mapping. It does not specifically correct the issue here: an NTP service should reject time updates from unknown management hosts.

D:

This choice addresses a different situation: A NAT router designates the WAN interface as inside and LAN as outside. Source translation depends on matching directions and the inside/outside topology. It does not specifically correct the issue here: an NTP service should reject time updates from unknown management hosts.

Question 390

During acceptance testing after restrict NTP peer access using appropriate access controls or authentication., which evidence is most relevant?

  1. Stratum falls to a synchronized value and reference time updates.
  2. Translation output shows the persistent mapping and external reachability.
  3. `show ip nat statistics` identifies correct interface roles and counters increase.
  4. Unauthorized NTP peers are denied and trusted sources still synchronize.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Unauthorized NTP peers are denied and trusted sources still synchronize. This is the targeted operational evidence for the change. Unauthenticated unrestricted time sources can corrupt system timing. Merely entering the configuration or seeing a management session is less conclusive than observing the resulting behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This observation validates another operation: Treat the time source as unsynchronized and restore upstream reference. Stratum 16 signals an unusable NTP time reference. It is not decisive evidence that the change under examination works as required. A relevant verification must exercise its particular control or forwarding outcome.
