Question 1

Traffic at Highland has no route for unknown destinations. Which static configuration installs a default path to 192.0.2.1? Choose ONE.

1. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.0.2.1
2. ip default-gateway 192.0.2.1
3. ip route 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 192.0.2.1
4. ipv6 route ::/0 192.0.2.1

Correct Answer: A

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer A is correct because An IPv4 default static route uses destination 0.0.0.0 with mask 0.0.0.0 and the desired next hop. For CHG-8165 at Highland, the network operations analyst checks Highland’s protocol state; CHG-8165 is judged from the observable result at Highland. For CHG-8165, this choice fits Highland: the network operations analyst gets the required Highland outcome and can verify CHG-8165 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer C is incorrect because 255.255.255.255 is not the IPv4 default-route destination. For CHG-8165 at Highland, the network operations analyst checks Highland’s protocol state; CHG-8165 is judged from the observable result at Highland. For CHG-8165, this choice fails Highland: the network operations analyst leaves the required Highland condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q01, should reject it for chg-8165.

Answer B is incorrect because `ip default-gateway` is not the routed-device static route used when IP routing is operating. For CHG-8165 at Highland, the network operations analyst checks Highland’s protocol state; CHG-8165 is judged from the observable result at Highland. For CHG-8165, this choice fails Highland: the network operations analyst leaves the required Highland condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q01, should reject it for chg-8165.

Answer D is incorrect because That is IPv6 route syntax and cannot install an IPv4 default route. For CHG-8165 at Highland, the network operations analyst checks Highland’s protocol state; CHG-8165 is judged from the observable result at Highland. For CHG-8165, this choice fails Highland: the network operations analyst leaves the required Highland condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q01, should reject it for chg-8165.

 

Question 2

An IPv6 branch at Kodiak should send unmatched destinations to 2001:db8:1::1. Which route statement provides that behavior? Choose ONE.

1. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 2001:db8:1::1
2. ipv6 default-gateway 2001:db8:1::1
3. ipv6 route ::/0 2001:db8:1::1
4. ipv6 route 2001:db8::/128 2001:db8:1::1

Correct Answer: C

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer C is correct because The IPv6 default prefix is ::/0; associating it with the next-hop address creates the requested default static route. For CHG-8182 at Kodiak, the NOC analyst checks Kodiak’s protocol state; CHG-8182 is judged from the observable result at Kodiak. For CHG-8182, this choice fits Kodiak: the NOC analyst gets the required Kodiak outcome and can verify CHG-8182 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer A is incorrect because IPv4 `ip route` syntax cannot use an IPv6 next hop. For CHG-8182 at Kodiak, the NOC analyst checks Kodiak’s protocol state; CHG-8182 is judged from the observable result at Kodiak. For CHG-8182, this choice fails Kodiak: the NOC analyst leaves the required Kodiak condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q02, should reject it for chg-8182.

Answer D is incorrect because A /128 defines one host destination, not the IPv6 default. For CHG-8182 at Kodiak, the NOC analyst checks Kodiak’s protocol state; CHG-8182 is judged from the observable result at Kodiak. For CHG-8182, this choice fails Kodiak: the NOC analyst leaves the required Kodiak condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q02, should reject it for chg-8182.

Answer B is incorrect because Routed IPv6 forwarding uses an IPv6 static route rather than this as a general routed default. For CHG-8182 at Kodiak, the NOC analyst checks Kodiak’s protocol state; CHG-8182 is judged from the observable result at Kodiak. For CHG-8182, this choice fails Kodiak: the NOC analyst leaves the required Kodiak condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q02, should reject it for chg-8182.

 

Question 3

A Nimbus router has no path to 10.40.0.0/16 and the upstream next hop is 192.0.2.9. What configuration directly fixes the missing route? Choose ONE.

1. ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.40.0.1
2. ip route 192.0.2.9 255.255.255.255 10.40.0.1
3. ip route 10.40.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.0.2.9
4. ip route 10.40.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.0.2.9

Correct Answer: D

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer D is correct because The destination network, correct /16 mask, and reachable next hop create the required network static route. For CHG-8199 at Nimbus, the network operations analyst checks Nimbus’s protocol state; CHG-8199 is judged from the observable result at Nimbus. For CHG-8199, this choice fits Nimbus: the network operations analyst gets the required Nimbus outcome and can verify CHG-8199 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer C is incorrect because A /24 mask describes only 10.40.0.0/24 and does not cover the full /16 requirement. For CHG-8199 at Nimbus, the network operations analyst checks Nimbus’s protocol state; CHG-8199 is judged from the observable result at Nimbus. For CHG-8199, this choice fails Nimbus: the network operations analyst leaves the required Nimbus condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q03, should reject it for chg-8199.

Answer B is incorrect because This reverses destination and next-hop roles and creates a host route for the upstream address instead. For CHG-8199 at Nimbus, the network operations analyst checks Nimbus’s protocol state; CHG-8199 is judged from the observable result at Nimbus. For CHG-8199, this choice fails Nimbus: the network operations analyst leaves the required Nimbus condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q03, should reject it for chg-8199.

Answer A is incorrect because A default route is broader than the specified destination and uses a next hop from the remote network. For CHG-8199 at Nimbus, the network operations analyst checks Nimbus’s protocol state; CHG-8199 is judged from the observable result at Nimbus. For CHG-8199, this choice fails Nimbus: the network operations analyst leaves the required Nimbus condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q03, should reject it for chg-8199.

 

Question 4

At Cedar, a static entry must match exactly one IPv4 destination, 203.0.113.77. Which route form provides the most-specific host route? Choose ONE.

203. 203.0.0.0 255.255.0.0
204. 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
205. 203.0.113.0 255.255.255.0
206. 203.0.113.77 255.255.255.255

Correct Answer: D

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer D is correct because An IPv4 /32 host route uses mask 255.255.255.255, matching only the single specified address. For CHG-8216 at Cedar, the NOC analyst checks Cedar’s protocol state; CHG-8216 is judged from the observable result at Cedar. For CHG-8216, this choice fits Cedar: the NOC analyst gets the required Cedar outcome and can verify CHG-8216 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer C is incorrect because A /24 covers 256 addresses and is not a single-host route. For CHG-8216 at Cedar, the NOC analyst checks Cedar’s protocol state; CHG-8216 is judged from the observable result at Cedar. For CHG-8216, this choice fails Cedar: the NOC analyst leaves the required Cedar condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q04, should reject it for chg-8216.

Answer A is incorrect because A /16 is even broader and does not meet the one-host requirement. For CHG-8216 at Cedar, the NOC analyst checks Cedar’s protocol state; CHG-8216 is judged from the observable result at Cedar. For CHG-8216, this choice fails Cedar: the NOC analyst leaves the required Cedar condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q04, should reject it for chg-8216.

Answer B is incorrect because The default prefix matches all otherwise-unmatched destinations, not one host. For CHG-8216 at Cedar, the NOC analyst checks Cedar’s protocol state; CHG-8216 is judged from the observable result at Cedar. For CHG-8216, this choice fails Cedar: the NOC analyst leaves the required Cedar condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q04, should reject it for chg-8216.

 

Question 5

Falcon must route only the IPv6 address 2001:db8:50::25 through a backup next hop. Which destination prefix is host-specific? Choose ONE.

1. 2001:db8:50::25/128
2. 2001:db8::/32
3. 2001:db8:50::/64
4. ::/0

Correct Answer: A

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer A is correct because An IPv6 /128 prefix identifies exactly one address and is the IPv6 host-route equivalent of an IPv4 /32. For CHG-8233 at Falcon, the network operations analyst checks Falcon’s protocol state; CHG-8233 is judged from the observable result at Falcon. For CHG-8233, this choice fits Falcon: the network operations analyst gets the required Falcon outcome and can verify CHG-8233 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer C is incorrect because A /64 describes an entire IPv6 subnet, not one host. For CHG-8233 at Falcon, the network operations analyst checks Falcon’s protocol state; CHG-8233 is judged from the observable result at Falcon. For CHG-8233, this choice fails Falcon: the network operations analyst leaves the required Falcon condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q05, should reject it for chg-8233.

Answer B is incorrect because A /32 is an aggregate prefix and is far broader than one destination. For CHG-8233 at Falcon, the network operations analyst checks Falcon’s protocol state; CHG-8233 is judged from the observable result at Falcon. For CHG-8233, this choice fails Falcon: the network operations analyst leaves the required Falcon condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q05, should reject it for chg-8233.

Answer D is incorrect because ::/0 is the IPv6 default route. For CHG-8233 at Falcon, the network operations analyst checks Falcon’s protocol state; CHG-8233 is judged from the observable result at Falcon. For CHG-8233, this choice fails Falcon: the network operations analyst leaves the required Falcon condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q05, should reject it for chg-8233.

 

Question 6

A static backup at Indigo must stay out of the RIB while OSPF AD 110 is available. Which configured static AD meets that goal? Choose ONE.

1. 1
2. 110
3. 200
4. 90

Correct Answer: C

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer C is correct because A static AD of 200 is less preferred than OSPF AD 110, so it becomes eligible only when the preferred OSPF route disappears. For CHG-8250 at Indigo, the NOC analyst checks Indigo’s protocol state; CHG-8250 is judged from the observable result at Indigo. For CHG-8250, this choice fits Indigo: the NOC analyst gets the required Indigo outcome and can verify CHG-8250 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer A is incorrect because The normal static AD 1 would beat OSPF and become primary. For CHG-8250 at Indigo, the NOC analyst checks Indigo’s protocol state; CHG-8250 is judged from the observable result at Indigo. For CHG-8250, this choice fails Indigo: the NOC analyst leaves the required Indigo condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q06, should reject it for chg-8250.

Answer D is incorrect because AD 90 is still lower than 110, so the static route would be preferred. For CHG-8250 at Indigo, the NOC analyst checks Indigo’s protocol state; CHG-8250 is judged from the observable result at Indigo. For CHG-8250, this choice fails Indigo: the NOC analyst leaves the required Indigo condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q06, should reject it for chg-8250.

Answer B is incorrect because An equal distance can create ambiguous competition and does not clearly establish the static route as less preferred backup. For CHG-8250 at Indigo, the NOC analyst checks Indigo’s protocol state; CHG-8250 is judged from the observable result at Indigo. For CHG-8250, this choice fails Indigo: the NOC analyst leaves the required Indigo condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q06, should reject it for chg-8250.

 

Question 7

A Lumen static route should name the outgoing interface rather than a next-hop IP. Which configuration component provides that? Choose ONE.

1. The NTP source interface
2. The DNS server address
3. The OSPF router ID
4. The exit interface GigabitEthernet0/1

Correct Answer: D

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer D is correct because A static route can identify an outgoing interface as the forwarding path, especially on point-to-point links or where that use is operationally appropriate. For CHG-8267 at Lumen, the network operations analyst checks Lumen’s protocol state; CHG-8267 is judged from the observable result at Lumen. For CHG-8267, this choice fits Lumen: the network operations analyst gets the required Lumen outcome and can verify CHG-8267 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer C is incorrect because Router ID identifies an OSPF process and does not specify a static-route egress. For CHG-8267 at Lumen, the network operations analyst checks Lumen’s protocol state; CHG-8267 is judged from the observable result at Lumen. For CHG-8267, this choice fails Lumen: the network operations analyst leaves the required Lumen condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q07, should reject it for chg-8267.

Answer B is incorrect because DNS configuration is unrelated to static-route forwarding. For CHG-8267 at Lumen, the network operations analyst checks Lumen’s protocol state; CHG-8267 is judged from the observable result at Lumen. For CHG-8267, this choice fails Lumen: the network operations analyst leaves the required Lumen condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q07, should reject it for chg-8267.

Answer A is incorrect because NTP source selection does not create a route to a destination prefix. For CHG-8267 at Lumen, the network operations analyst checks Lumen’s protocol state; CHG-8267 is judged from the observable result at Lumen. For CHG-8267, this choice fails Lumen: the network operations analyst leaves the required Lumen condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q07, should reject it for chg-8267.

 

Question 8

At Orchid, NOC analyst adds both an exit interface and a next-hop IP to one static route. What benefit does this fully specified form provide? Choose ONE.

1. A dynamic route
2. A local host route
3. A floating static route
4. A fully specified static route

Correct Answer: D

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer D is correct because A fully specified static route names both the egress interface and next-hop address, making both forwarding elements explicit in the route configuration. For CHG-8284 at Orchid, the NOC analyst checks Orchid’s protocol state; CHG-8284 is judged from the observable result at Orchid. For CHG-8284, this choice fits Orchid: the NOC analyst gets the required Orchid outcome and can verify CHG-8284 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer C is incorrect because Floating describes an intentionally higher administrative distance, not the presence of both interface and next hop. For CHG-8284 at Orchid, the NOC analyst checks Orchid’s protocol state; CHG-8284 is judged from the observable result at Orchid. For CHG-8284, this choice fails Orchid: the NOC analyst leaves the required Orchid condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q08, should reject it for chg-8284.

Answer A is incorrect because Dynamic routes are learned by routing protocols rather than entered with a static destination/interface/next-hop statement. For CHG-8284 at Orchid, the NOC analyst checks Orchid’s protocol state; CHG-8284 is judged from the observable result at Orchid. For CHG-8284, this choice fails Orchid: the NOC analyst leaves the required Orchid condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q08, should reject it for chg-8284.

Answer B is incorrect because Local routes are created automatically for interface addresses and are not defined by this static syntax. For CHG-8284 at Orchid, the NOC analyst checks Orchid’s protocol state; CHG-8284 is judged from the observable result at Orchid. For CHG-8284, this choice fails Orchid: the NOC analyst leaves the required Orchid condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q08, should reject it for chg-8284.

 

Question 9

The next hop for a Redwood static route becomes unresolved after an uplink failure. Why can the dependent route disappear from the RIB? Choose ONE.

1. The next hop can no longer be resolved to an egress path
2. Its OSPF cost became too high
3. Its DNS record expired
4. The NTP clock changed

Correct Answer: A

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer A is correct because A recursive static route depends on reachability to its next-hop address; losing that resolution prevents the route from being usable for forwarding. For CHG-8301 at Redwood, the network operations analyst checks Redwood’s protocol state; CHG-8301 is judged from the observable result at Redwood. For CHG-8301, this choice fits Redwood: the network operations analyst gets the required Redwood outcome and can verify CHG-8301 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer C is incorrect because Static next-hop resolution uses the routing table, not DNS host-name cache lifetime. For CHG-8301 at Redwood, the network operations analyst checks Redwood’s protocol state; CHG-8301 is judged from the observable result at Redwood. For CHG-8301, this choice fails Redwood: the network operations analyst leaves the required Redwood condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q09, should reject it for chg-8301.

Answer B is incorrect because A static route does not use OSPF cost for next-hop resolution. For CHG-8301 at Redwood, the network operations analyst checks Redwood’s protocol state; CHG-8301 is judged from the observable result at Redwood. For CHG-8301, this choice fails Redwood: the network operations analyst leaves the required Redwood condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q09, should reject it for chg-8301.

Answer D is incorrect because Time synchronization does not determine whether a static next hop is reachable. For CHG-8301 at Redwood, the network operations analyst checks Redwood’s protocol state; CHG-8301 is judged from the observable result at Redwood. For CHG-8301, this choice fails Redwood: the network operations analyst leaves the required Redwood condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q09, should reject it for chg-8301.

 

Question 10

A Union static route reaches 172.20.0.x but not 172.20.5.x. The command uses destination 172.20.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0. What is wrong? Choose ONE.

1. The route becomes a default route
2. The route becomes a host route
3. The route covers only 172.20.0.0/24 instead of the required /16
4. The route automatically summarizes to /16

Correct Answer: C

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer C is correct because Mask 255.255.255.0 creates a /24, so destinations outside the first /24 do not match the intended 172.20.0.0/16 route. For CHG-8318 at Union, the NOC analyst checks Union’s protocol state; CHG-8318 is judged from the observable result at Union. For CHG-8318, this choice fits Union: the NOC analyst gets the required Union outcome and can verify CHG-8318 directly.

For CHG-8318, this choice fails Union: the NOC analyst leaves the required Union condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q10, should reject it for chg-8318.

Answer D is incorrect because Static routes do not automatically widen an explicitly configured mask. For CHG-8318 at Union, the NOC analyst checks Union’s protocol state; CHG-8318 is judged from the observable result at Union. For CHG-8318, this choice fails Union: the NOC analyst leaves the required Union condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q10, should reject it for chg-8318.

Answer B is incorrect because A host route would use /32, not /24. For CHG-8318 at Union, the NOC analyst checks Union’s protocol state; CHG-8318 is judged from the observable result at Union. For CHG-8318, this choice fails Union: the NOC analyst leaves the required Union condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q10, should reject it for chg-8318.

 

Question 11

A Xenon engineer is reviewing a branch default route. Which prefix pair should appear in the `ip route` command? Choose ONE.

For CHG-8386, this choice fits Grove: the NOC analyst gets the required Grove outcome and can verify CHG-8386 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer A is incorrect because Per-host routes are unnecessarily complex and do not scale for general remote reachability. For CHG-8386 at Grove, the NOC analyst checks Grove’s protocol state; CHG-8386 is judged from the observable result at Grove. For CHG-8386, this choice fails Grove: the NOC analyst leaves the required Grove condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q14, should reject it for chg-8386.

Answer D is incorrect because Reaching DNS does not provide paths to all other remote prefixes. For CHG-8386 at Grove, the NOC analyst checks Grove’s protocol state; CHG-8386 is judged from the observable result at Grove. For CHG-8386, this choice fails Grove: the NOC analyst leaves the required Grove condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q14, should reject it for chg-8386.

Answer B is incorrect because A connected WAN only reaches its local link; remote networks still require routing information. For CHG-8386 at Grove, the NOC analyst checks Grove’s protocol state; CHG-8386 is judged from the observable result at Grove. For CHG-8386, this choice fails Grove: the NOC analyst leaves the required Grove condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q14, should reject it for chg-8386.

 

Question 15

A Jasper IPv6 static route with only next hop FE80::2 is ambiguous because link-local addresses can repeat on different links. What should be specified? Choose ONE.

1. The NTP source
2. The OSPF process ID
3. The DNS domain name
4. The outgoing interface

Correct Answer: D

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer D is correct because IPv6 link-local addresses are scoped to a link, so a static route using a link-local next hop must identify the outgoing interface that provides that scope. For CHG-8403 at Jasper, the network operations analyst checks Jasper’s protocol state; CHG-8403 is judged from the observable result at Jasper. For CHG-8403, this choice fits Jasper: the network operations analyst gets the required Jasper outcome and can verify CHG-8403 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer C is incorrect because DNS naming does not disambiguate a link-local routing next hop. For CHG-8403 at Jasper, the network operations analyst checks Jasper’s protocol state; CHG-8403 is judged from the observable result at Jasper. For CHG-8403, this choice fails Jasper: the network operations analyst leaves the required Jasper condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q15, should reject it for chg-8403.

Answer B is incorrect because A static route does not use an OSPF process ID to scope a link-local next hop. For CHG-8403 at Jasper, the network operations analyst checks Jasper’s protocol state; CHG-8403 is judged from the observable result at Jasper. For CHG-8403, this choice fails Jasper: the network operations analyst leaves the required Jasper condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q15, should reject it for chg-8403.

Answer A is incorrect because NTP configuration has no role in IPv6 next-hop scope. For CHG-8403 at Jasper, the network operations analyst checks Jasper’s protocol state; CHG-8403 is judged from the observable result at Jasper. For CHG-8403, this choice fails Jasper: the network operations analyst leaves the required Jasper condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q15, should reject it for chg-8403.

 

Question 16

At Monarch, a single fixed upstream router always reaches 10.90.0.0/16. What approach can provide reachability without running a dynamic protocol for that prefix? Choose ONE.

10. A DNS entry for 10.90.0.0
11. An NTP peer to 192.0.2.14
12. A local L route for 10.90.0.0/16
13. A network static route to 10.90.0.0/16 via 192.0.2.14

Correct Answer: D

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer D is correct because A static network route is appropriate for a stable destination and known next hop when dynamic route exchange is unnecessary. For CHG-8420 at Monarch, the NOC analyst checks Monarch’s protocol state; CHG-8420 is judged from the observable result at Monarch. For CHG-8420, this choice fits Monarch: the NOC analyst gets the required Monarch outcome and can verify CHG-8420 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer C is incorrect because Local L routes represent the router’s own interface addresses and cannot be manually used for a remote network. For CHG-8420 at Monarch, the NOC analyst checks Monarch’s protocol state; CHG-8420 is judged from the observable result at Monarch. For CHG-8420, this choice fails Monarch: the NOC analyst leaves the required Monarch condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q16, should reject it for chg-8420.

Answer A is incorrect because DNS maps names and addresses; it does not populate the forwarding table with a network route. For CHG-8420 at Monarch, the NOC analyst checks Monarch’s protocol state; CHG-8420 is judged from the observable result at Monarch. For CHG-8420, this choice fails Monarch: the NOC analyst leaves the required Monarch condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q16, should reject it for chg-8420.

Answer B is incorrect because NTP synchronizes time and does not establish data-plane reachability to the remote subnet. For CHG-8420 at Monarch, the NOC analyst checks Monarch’s protocol state; CHG-8420 is judged from the observable result at Monarch. For CHG-8420, this choice fails Monarch: the NOC analyst leaves the required Monarch condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q16, should reject it for chg-8420.

 

Question 17

Traffic at Beacon to 203.0.113.51 does not use a static route configured for 203.0.113.50/32. Why? Choose ONE.

203. Only host 203.0.113.50
204. All IPv4 destinations
205. All of 203.0.113.0/24
206. The entire 203.0.0.0/16 network

Correct Answer: A

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer A is correct because A /32 host route has all 32 mask bits set, so it matches only the exact specified IPv4 address. For CHG-8437 at Beacon, the network operations analyst checks Beacon’s protocol state; CHG-8437 is judged from the observable result at Beacon. For CHG-8437, this choice fits Beacon: the network operations analyst gets the required Beacon outcome and can verify CHG-8437 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer C is incorrect because A /24 would be required to cover the full last-octet range. For CHG-8437 at Beacon, the network operations analyst checks Beacon’s protocol state; CHG-8437 is judged from the observable result at Beacon. For CHG-8437, this choice fails Beacon: the network operations analyst leaves the required Beacon condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q17, should reject it for chg-8437.

Answer B is incorrect because Only a /0 default route covers otherwise-unmatched IPv4 destinations. For CHG-8437 at Beacon, the network operations analyst checks Beacon’s protocol state; CHG-8437 is judged from the observable result at Beacon. For CHG-8437, this choice fails Beacon: the network operations analyst leaves the required Beacon condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q17, should reject it for chg-8437.

Answer D is incorrect because A /16 is much broader than the configured /32 host route. For CHG-8437 at Beacon, the network operations analyst checks Beacon’s protocol state; CHG-8437 is judged from the observable result at Beacon. For CHG-8437, this choice fails Beacon: the network operations analyst leaves the required Beacon condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q17, should reject it for chg-8437.

 

Question 18

A Ember engineer mistakenly types `ip route` for an IPv6 prefix. Which command keyword is required instead? Choose ONE.

1. ip route
2. ipv6 ospf
3. ipv6 route
4. route-map

Correct Answer: C

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer C is correct because Cisco IOS uses `ipv6 route` to configure static IPv6 destination prefixes and next hops or exit interfaces. For CHG-8454 at Ember, the NOC analyst checks Ember’s protocol state; CHG-8454 is judged from the observable result at Ember. For CHG-8454, this choice fits Ember: the NOC analyst gets the required Ember outcome and can verify CHG-8454 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer A is incorrect because `ip route` is the IPv4 static-route command family. For CHG-8454 at Ember, the NOC analyst checks Ember’s protocol state; CHG-8454 is judged from the observable result at Ember. For CHG-8454, this choice fails Ember: the NOC analyst leaves the required Ember condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q18, should reject it for chg-8454.

Answer D is incorrect because A route map applies policy and is not itself the static IPv6 route command. For CHG-8454 at Ember, the NOC analyst checks Ember’s protocol state; CHG-8454 is judged from the observable result at Ember. For CHG-8454, this choice fails Ember: the NOC analyst leaves the required Ember condition unmet and, under t11-pt2-q18, should reject it for chg-8454.

Answer B is incorrect because That syntax relates to OSPFv3 features, not a generic static IPv6 route. For CHG-8454 at Ember, the NOC analyst checks Ember’s protocol state; CHG-8454 is judged from the observable result at Ember. For CHG-8454, this choice fails Ember: the NOC analyst leaves the required Ember condition unmet and should reject it for CHG-8454.

 

Question 19

A Harbor routing table shows two equal-cost static next hops for one prefix. What design does this represent? Choose ONE.

1. Choose the path with the numerically smaller next-hop IP
2. Convert both routes to OSPF
3. Always reject the second static route
4. Install multiple equal-cost static paths if supported

Correct Answer: D

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer D is correct because Equal-cost static routes to the same destination can coexist and provide load sharing when both next hops are valid and the platform permits multiple paths. For CHG-8471 at Harbor, the network operations analyst checks Harbor’s protocol state; CHG-8471 is judged from the observable result at Harbor. For CHG-8471, this choice fits Harbor: the network operations analyst gets the required Harbor outcome and can verify CHG-8471 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer C is incorrect because A second equal-cost static path is not inherently rejected simply because the first exists. For CHG-8471 at Harbor, the network operations analyst checks Harbor’s protocol state; CHG-8471 is judged from the observable result at Harbor. For CHG-8471, this choice fails Harbor: the network operations analyst leaves the required Harbor condition unmet and should reject it for CHG-8471.

Answer B is incorrect because Static routes do not become dynamic OSPF routes automatically. For CHG-8471 at Harbor, the network operations analyst checks Harbor’s protocol state; CHG-8471 is judged from the observable result at Harbor. For CHG-8471, this choice fails Harbor: the network operations analyst leaves the required Harbor condition unmet and should reject it for CHG-8471.

Answer A is incorrect because Next-hop address magnitude is not the tie-breaking selection rule for equal-cost static route configuration. For CHG-8471 at Harbor, the network operations analyst checks Harbor’s protocol state; CHG-8471 is judged from the observable result at Harbor. For CHG-8471, this choice fails Harbor: the network operations analyst leaves the required Harbor condition unmet and should reject it for CHG-8471.

 

Question 20

After the Keystone connected subnet 198.51.100.0/24 comes up, a recursive static next hop 198.51.100.9 becomes usable. What changed? Choose ONE.

1. NTP synchronized the router clock
2. HSRP elected 198.51.100.9 as active
3. DNS learned a hostname for 198.51.100.9
4. The routing table can resolve the next-hop address to an egress interface

Correct Answer: D

Correct Answer

 

 

Answer D is correct because The connected route supplies recursive resolution for 198.51.100.9, allowing the static destination route to determine where packets should leave. For CHG-8488 at Keystone, the NOC analyst checks Keystone’s protocol state; CHG-8488 is judged from the observable result at Keystone. For CHG-8488, this choice fits Keystone: the NOC analyst gets the required Keystone outcome and can verify CHG-8488 directly.

Incorrect Answers

 

Answer C is incorrect because A numeric static next hop does not require DNS to become reachable. For CHG-8488 at Keystone, the NOC analyst checks Keystone’s protocol state; CHG-8488 is judged from the observable result at Keystone. For CHG-8488, this choice fails Keystone: the NOC analyst leaves the required Keystone condition unmet and should reject it for CHG-8488.

Answer A is incorrect because Clock synchronization is independent of route recursion. For CHG-8488 at Keystone, the NOC analyst checks Keystone’s protocol state; CHG-8488 is judged from the observable result at Keystone. For CHG-8488, this choice fails Keystone: the NOC analyst leaves the required Keystone condition unmet and should reject it for CHG-8488.

Answer B is incorrect because Static next-hop resolution does not require the next hop to be an HSRP active router unless the design explicitly uses that address. For CHG-8488 at Keystone, the NOC analyst checks Keystone’s protocol state; CHG-8488 is judged from the observable result at Keystone. For CHG-8488, this choice fails Keystone: the NOC analyst leaves the required Keystone condition unmet and should reject it for CHG-8488.
