Question No : 19 CORRECT TEXT
SWITCH.com is an IT company that has an existing enterprise network comprised of two

layer 2 only switches; DSW1 and ASW1. The topology diagram indicates their layer 2
mapping. VLAN 20 is a new VLAN that will be used to provide the shipping personnel
access to the server. Corporate polices do not allow layer 3 functionality to be enabled on
the switches. For security reasons, it is necessary to restrict access to VLAN 20 in the
following manner:
Users connecting to VLAN 20 via portfO/1 on ASW1 must be authenticated before they
are given access to the network. Authentication is to be done via a Radius server:
Radius server host: 172.120.40.46
Radius key: rad123
Authentication should be implemented as close to the host as possible.
Devices on VLAN 20 are restricted to the subnet of 172.120.40.0/24.
Packets from devices in the subnet of 172.120.40.0/24 should be allowed on VLAN 20.
Packets from devices in any other address range should be dropped on VLAN 20.
Filtering should be implemented as close to the serverfarm as possible.
The Radius server and application servers will be installed at a future date. You have been
tasked with implementing the above access control as a pre-condition to installing the
servers. You must use the available IOS switch features.

Which SDM template is the most appropriate for a Layer 2 switch that provides connectivity
to a large number of clients?
A. VLAN
B. default
C. access
D. routing
Answer: A

Scenario:
You work for SWITCH.com. They have just added a new switch (SwitchB) to the existing
network as shown in the topology diagram.
RouterA is currently configured correctly and is providing the routing function for devices on
SwitchA and SwitchB. SwitchA is currently configured correctly, but will need to be modified
to support the addition of SwitchB. SwitchB has a minimal configuration. You have been
tasked with competing the needed configuring of SwitchA and SwitchB. SwitchA and
SwitchB use Cisco as the enable password.
Configuration Requirements for SwitchA
The VTP and STP configuration modes on SwitchA should not be modified.
97

SwitchA needs to be the root switch for vlans 11, 12, 13, 21, 22 and 23. All other vlans
should be left are their default values.
Configuration Requirements for SwitchB
Vlan 21
Name: Marketing
will support two servers attached to fa0/9 and fa0/10
Vlan 22
Name: Sales
will support two servers attached to fa0/13 and fa0/14
Vlan 23
o Name: Engineering
o will support two servers attached to fa0/15 and fa0/16
Access ports that connect to server should transition immediately to forwarding state
upon detecting the connection of a device.
SwitchB VTP mode needs to be the same as SwitchA.
SwitchB must operate in the same spanning tree mode as SwitchA
No routing is to be configured on SwitchB
Only the SVI vlan 1 is to be configured and it is to use address 192.168.1.11/24
Inter-switch Connectivity Configuration Requirements
For operational and security reasons trunking should be unconditional and Vlans 1, 21, 22
and 23 should tagged when traversing the trunk link.
The two trunks between SwitchA and SwitchB need to be configured in a mode that
allows for the maximum use of their bandwidth for all vlans. This mode should be done with
a non-proprietary protocol, with SwitchA controlling activation.
Propagation of unnecessary broadcasts should be limited using manual pruning on this
trunk link.

Answer: A

You have been tasked with configuring multilayer SwitchC, which has a partial
configuration and has been attached to RouterC as shown in the topology diagram.
You need to configure SwitchC so that Hosts H1 and H2 can successfully ping the
server S1. Also SwitchC needs to be able to ping server S1.
Due to administrative restrictions and requirements you should not add/delete vlans or
create trunk links. Company policies forbid the use of static or default routing. All routes
must be learned via EIGRP 65010 routing protocol.
You do not have access to RouteC. RouterC is correctly configured. No trunking has been
configured on RouterC.
Routed interfaces should use the lowest host on a subnet when possible. The following
subnets are available to implement this solution:
10.10.10.0/24
190.200.250.32/27
190.200.250.64/27
Hosts H1 and H2 are configured with the correct IP address and default gateway.
108

SwitchC uses Cisco as the enable password.
Routing must only be enabled for the specific subnets shown in the diagram.
Note: Due to administrative restrictions and requirements you should not add or delete
VLANs, changes VLAN port assignments or create trunks. Company policies forbid the use
of static or default routing. All routes must be learned via the EIGRP routing protocol.
109
Answer: There are two ways to configure interVLAN routing in this case:
+ Use RouterC as a router on a stick and SwitchC as a pure Layer2 switch. Trunking
must be established between RouterC and SwitchC.
+ Only use SwitchC for interVLAN routing without using RouterC, SwitchC should be
configured as a Layer 3 switch (which supports ip routing function as a router). No trunking
requires.
110

The question clearly states No trunking has been configured on RouterC so RouterC
does not contribute to interVLAN routing of hosts H1 & H2 -> SwitchC must be configured
as a Layer 3 switch with SVIs for interVLAN routing.
We should check the default gateways on H1 & H2. Click on H1 and H2 and type the
ipconfig command to get their default gateways.
Answer: \>ipconfig
We will get the default gateways as follows:
Host1:
+ Default gateway: 190.200.250.33
Host2:
+ Default gateway: 190.200.250.65
Now we have enough information to configure SwitchC (notice the EIGRP AS in this case
is 650)
Note: VLAN2 and VLAN3 were created and gi0/10, gi0/11 interfaces were configured as
access ports so we dont need to configure them in this sim.
SwitchC# configure terminal
SwitchC(config)# int gi0/1
SwitchC(config-if)#no switchport -> without using this command, the simulator does not
let you assign IP address on Gi0/1 interface.
SwitchC(config-if)# ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0 ->RouterC has used IP
10.10.10.1 so this is the lowest usable IP address.
SwitchC(config-if)# no shutdown
SwitchC(config-if)# exit
SwitchC(config)# int vlan 2
SwitchC(config-if)# ip address 190.200.250.33 255.255.255.224
SwitchC(config-if)# int vlan 3
SwitchC(config-if)# ip address 190.200.250.65 255.255.255.224
SwitchC(config-if)#exit
SwitchC(config)# ip routing (Notice: MLS will not work without this command)
SwitchC(config)# router eigrp 65010
SwitchC(config-router)# network 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255
NOTE: THE ROUTER IS CORRECTLY CONFIGURED, so you will not miss within it in the
exam, also dont modify/delete any port just do the above configuration. Also some reports
said the no auto-summary command cant be used in the simulator, in fact it is not
necessary because the network 190.200.0.0/16 is not used anywhere else in this topology.
In order to complete the lab, you should expect the ping to SERVER to succeed from the
111

MLS, and from the PCs as well.
Also make sure you use the correct EIGRP AS number (in the configuration above it is 650
but it will change when you take the exam) but we are not allowed to access RouterC so
the only way to find out the EIGRP AS is to look at the exhibit above. If you use wrong AS
number, no neighbor relationship is formed between RouterC and SwitchC.
In fact, we are pretty sure instead of using two commands network 190.200.250.32
0.0.0.31 and network 190.200.250.64 0.0.0.31 we can use one simple command network
190.200.0.0 because it is the nature of distance vector routing protocol like EIGRP: only
major networks need to be advertised; even without no auto-summary command the
network still works correctly. But in the exam the sim is just a flash based simulator so we
should use two above commands, just for sure. But after finishing the configuration, we can
use show run command to verify, only the summarized network 190.200.0.0 is shown.

You are connecting the New_Switch to the LAN topology; the switch has been partially
configured and you need to complete the rest of configuration to enable PC1
communication with PC2. Which of the configuration is correct?
119
A. Option A
B. Option B
C. Option C
D. Option D
120

E. Option E
Answer: D
Explanation:
Within any VTP, the VTP domain name must match. So, step one is to find the correct VTP
name on the other switches. Logging in to SW1 and using the show vtp status command
we see this:
So we know that the VTP domain must be CCNP. This leaves only choice D and E. We
also see from the topology diagram that eth 0/0 of the new switch connects to a PC in
VLNA 100, so we know that this port must be an access port in VLAN 100, leaving only
choice D as correct. Note that the VTP versions supported in this network are 1, 2, 3 so
either VTP version 2 or 3 can be configured on the new switch.

During routine maintenance, it became necessary to shut down the GigabitEthernet1/0/1

interface on DSW1. All other interfaces were up. During this time, DSW1 remained the
active device for the VLAN 102 HSRP group. You have determined that there is an issue
with the decrement value in the track command for the VLAN 102 HSRP group. What
needs to be done to make the group function properly?
A. The decrement value on DSW1 should be greaterthan 5 and less than 15. 0
B. The decrement value on DSW1 should be greaterthan 9 and less than 15.
C. The decrement value on DSW1 should be greaterthan 11 and less than 19.
D. The decrement value on DSWTs should be greaterthan 190 and less than 200.
E. The decrement value on DSWTs should be greaterthan 195 and less than 205.
