QUESTION 61
Two routers configured to run BGP have been connected to a firewall, one on the inside interface and one on the outside interface. BGP has been configured so the two routers should peer,
including the correct BGP session endpoint addresses and the correct BGP session hop-count
limit (EBGP multihop). What is a good first test to see if BGP will work across the firewall?
A. Attempt to TELNET from the router connected to the inside of the firewall to the router connected to
the outside of the firewall. If telnet works, BGP will work, since telnet and BGP both use TCP to
transport data.
B. Ping from the router connected to the inside interface of the firewall to the router connected to the
outside interface of the firewall. If you can ping between them, BGP should work, since BGP uses
IP to transport packets.
C. There is no way to make BGP work across a firewall without special configuration, so there is no
simple test that will show you if BGP will work or not, other than trying to start the peering session.
D. There is no way to make BGP work across a firewall.
Answer: C
Explanation:
1. The question doesn’t say that you are passing the port parameter to the telnet session. In the answer cisco says “since telnet and BGP both use TCP to transport data.” Meaning that TELNET and BGP share TCP, no mention of ports.
2. If you telnet to Port 179 you are testing the path only in 1 direction from the inside to the outside. Yes stateful firewalls will allow return traffic from outside, but they won’t allow the outside neighbor to initiate a session.
3. If the Firewall is using NAT for outgoing traffic, which is common, you will be able to telnet to the BGP peer, but the peer won’t be able to reach your router back if it needs to initiate a session.
4. The Firewall can translate port 179 to 23 or anything else that will give you a false positive on your Telnet test.
5. Answer C says that
A. “There is no way to make BGP work across a firewall without special configuration” Special configuration refers to the Firewall, since in the question they explicitly say that BGP has been properly configured.
B. “Trying to start the peering session.” will provide you with a definitive answer.
C. Therefore correct answer is C.
QUESTION 62
Spanning Tree Protocol IEEE 802.1s defines the ability to deploy which of these?
A. one global STP instance for all VLANs
B. one STP instance for each VLAN
C. one STP instance per set of VLANs
D. one STP instance per set of bridges
Answer: C
Explanation:
The IEEE 802.1s standard is the Multiple Spanning Tree (MST). With MST, you can group VLANs and run one instance of Spanning Tree for a group of VLANs. Other STP types:
Common Spanning Tree (CST), which is defined with IEEE 802.1Q, defines one spanning tree instance for all VLANs.
Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP), which is defined with 802.1w, is used to speed up STP convergence. Switch ports exchange an explicit handshake when they transition to forwarding.
QUESTION 63
Which two of these are used in the selection of a root bridge in a network utilizing Spanning Tree Protocol IEEE 802.1D? (Choose two.)
A. Designated Root Cost
B. bridge ID priority
C. max age
D. bridge ID MAC address
E. Designated Root Priority
F. forward delay
Answer: BD
Explanation:
The root bridge of the spanning tree is the bridge with the smallest (lowest) bridge ID. Each bridge has a unique identifier (ID) and a configurable priority number; the bridge ID contains both numbers. To compare two bridge IDs, the priority is compared first. If two bridges have equal priority, then the MAC addresses are compared. For example, if switches A (MAC=0200.0000.1111) and B (MAC=0200.0000.2222) both have a priority of 10, then switch A will be selected as the root bridge. If the network administrators would like switch B to become the root bridge, they must set its priority to be less than 10.
QUESTION 64
If a port configured with STP loop guard stops receiving BPDUs, the port will be put into which
state?
A. learning state
B. listening state
C. forwarding state
D. root-inconsistent state
Answer: D
Explanation:
STP Loop Guard
Feature Description
The STP loop guard feature provides additional protection against Layer 2 forwarding loops (STP loops). An STP loop is created when an STP blocking port in a redundant topology erroneously transitions to the forwarding state. This usually happens because one of the ports of a physically redundant topology (not necessarily the STP blocking port) no longer receives STP BPDUs. In its operation, STP relies on continuous reception or transmission of BPDUs based on the port role. The designated port transmits BPDUs, and the non-designated port receives BPDUs.
When one of the ports in a physically redundant topology no longer receives BPDUs, the STP conceives that the topology is loop free. Eventually, the blocking port from the alternate or backup port becomes designated and moves to a forwarding state. This situation creates a loop. The loop guard feature makes additional checks. If BPDUs are not received on a non-designated port, and loop guard is enabled, that port is moved into the STP loop-inconsistent blocking state, instead of the listening / learning / forwarding state. Without the loop guard feature, the port assumes the designated port role. The port moves to the STP forwarding state and creates a loop. When the loop guard blocks an inconsistent port, this message is logged:
CatOS%SPANTREE-2-LOOPGUARDBLOCK: No BPDUs were received on port 3/2 in vlan 3.
Moved to loop-inconsistent state.
Cisco IOS%SPANTREE-2-LOOPGUARD_BLOCK: Loop guard blocking port FastEthernet0/24 on VLAN0050.
Once the BPDU is received on a port in a loop-inconsistent STP state, the port transitions into another STP state. According to the received BPDU, this means that the recovery is automatic and intervention is not necessary. After recovery, this message is logged:
CatOS%SPANTREE-2-LOOPGUARDUNBLOCK: port 3/2 restored in vlan 3. Cisco IOS%SPANTREE-2-LOOPGUARD_UNBLOCK: Loop guard unblocking port FastEthernet0/24 on VLAN0050.

QUESTION 65
What is the purpose of the STP PortFast BPDU guard feature?
A. enforce the placement of the root bridge in the network
B. ensure that a port is transitioned to a forwarding state quickly if a BPDU is received
C. enforce the borders of an STP domain
D. ensure that any BPDUs received are forwarded into the STP domain
Answer: C
Explanation:
STP configures meshed topology into a loop-free, tree-like topology. When the link on a bridge port goes up, STP calculation occurs on that port. The result of the calculation is the transition of the port into forwarding or blocking state. The result depends on the position of the port in the network and the STP parameters. This calculation and transition period usually takes about 30 to 50 seconds. At that time, no user data pass via the port. Some user applications can time out during the period. In order to allow immediate transition of the port into forwarding state, enable the STP PortFast feature.
PortFast immediately transitions the port into STP forwarding mode upon linkup. The port still participates in STP. So if the port is to be a part of the loop, the port eventually transitions into STP blocking mode.
As long as the port participates in STP, some device can assume the root bridge function and affect active STP topology. To assume the root bridge function, the device would be attached to the port and would run STP with a lower bridge priority than that of the current root bridge. If another device assumes the root bridge function in this way, it renders the network suboptimal. This is a simple form of a denial of service (DoS) attack on the network. The temporary introduction and subsequent removal of STP devices with low (0) bridge priority cause a permanent STP recalculation. The STP PortFast BPDU guard enhancement allows network designers to enforce the STP domain borders and keep the active topology predictable. The devices behind the ports that have STP PortFast enabled are not able to influence the STP topology. At the reception of BPDUs, the BPDU guard operation disables the port that has PortFast configured. The BPDU guard transitions the port into errdisable state, and a message appears on the console. This message is an example:
2000 May 12 15:13:32 %SPANTREE-2-RX_PORTFAST:Received BPDU on PortFast enable port.
Disabling 2/1
2000 May 12 15:13:32 %PAGP-5-PORTFROMSTP:Port 2/1 left bridge port 2/1

QUESTION 66
When STP UplinkFast is enabled on a switch utilizing the default bridge priority, what will the new bridge priority be changed to?
A. 8192
B. 16384
C. 49152
D. 65535
Answer: C
Explanation:
The STP UplinkFast is used to fast switchover to alternate ports when the root port fails. When STP UplinkFast is enabled on a switch utilizing the default bridge priority (32768), the new bridge priority will be changed to 49152. The reason for the priority being raised is to prevent the switch from becoming the root (recall that lower bridge priority is preferred). To enable UplinkFast feature, use the “set spantree uplinkfast enable” in privileged mode The set spantree uplinkfast enable command has the following results:
Changes the bridge priority to 49152 for all VLANs (allowed VLANs). Increases the path cost and portvlancost of all ports to a value greater than 3000. On detecting the failure of a root port, an instant cutover occurs to an alternate port selected by Spanning Tree Protocol (without using this feature, the network will need about 30 seconds to re- establish the connection.

QUESTION 67
Which of these best describes the actions taken when a VTP message is received on a switch
configured with the VTP mode “transparent”?
A. VTP updates are ignored and forwarded out all ports.
B. VTP updates are ignored and forwarded out trunks only.
C. VTP updates are made to the VLAN database and are forwarded out trunks only.
D. VTP updates are ignored and are not forwarded.
Answer: B
Explanation:
You can configure a switch to operate in any one of these VTP modes:
Server–In VTP server mode, you can create, modify, and delete VLANs and specify other configuration parameters, such as VTP version and VTP pruning, for the entire VTP domain. VTP servers advertise their VLAN configuration to other switches in the same VTP domain and synchronize their VLAN configuration with other switches based on advertisements received over trunk links. VTP server is the default mode.
Client–VTP clients behave the same way as VTP servers, but you cannot create, change, or delete VLANs on a VTP client.
Transparent–VTP transparent switches do not participate in VTP. A VTP transparent switch does not advertise its VLAN configuration and does not synchronize its VLAN configuration based on received advertisements, but transparent switches do forward VTP advertisements that they receive out their trunk ports in VTP Version 2. Off (configurable only in CatOS switches)–In the three described modes, VTP advertisements are received and transmitted as soon as the switch enters the management domain state. In the VTP off mode, switches behave the same as in VTP transparent mode with the exception that VTP advertisements are not forwarded.
VTP V2
VTP V2 is not much different than VTP V1. The major difference is that VTP V2 introduces support for Token Ring VLANs. If you use Token Ring VLANs, you must enable VTP V2. Otherwise, there is no reason to use VTP V2. Changing the VTP version from 1 to 2 will not cause a switch to reload. VTP Password If you configure a password for VTP, you must configure the password on all switches in the VTP domain. The password must be the same password on all those switches. The VTP password that you configure is translated by algorithm into a 16-byte word (MD5 value) that is carried in all summary-advertisement VTP packets.
VTP Pruning
VTP ensures that all switches in the VTP domain are aware of all VLANs. However, there are occasions when VTP can create unnecessary traffic. All unknown unicasts and broadcasts in a VLAN are flooded over the entire VLAN. All switches in the network receive all broadcasts, even in situations in which few users are connected in that VLAN. VTP pruning is a feature that you use in order to eliminate or prune this unnecessary traffic.

QUESTION 68
The classic Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1D 1998) uses which sequence of variables to determine the best received BPDU?
A. 1) lowest root bridge id, 2) lowest sender bridge id, 3) lowest port id, 4) lowest root path cost
B. 1) lowest root path cost, 2) lowest root bridge id, 3) lowest sender bridge id, 4) lowest sender port id
C. 1) lowest root bridge id, 2) lowest sender bridge id, 3) lowest root path cost 4) lowest sender port id
D. 1) lowest root bridge id, 2) lowest root path cost, 3) lowest sender bridge id, 4) lowest sender port id
Answer: D
Explanation:
Configuration bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) are sent between switches for each port. Switches use a fourstep process to save a copy of the best BPDU seen on every port. When a port receives a better BPDU, it stops sending them. If the BPDUs stop arriving for 20 seconds (default), it begins sending them again.
Step 1 Lowest Root Bridge ID (BID)
Step 2 Lowest Path cost to Root Bridge
Step 3 Lowest Sender BID
Step 4 Lowest Port ID

QUESTION 70
Loop guard and UniDirectional Link Detection both protect against Layer 2 STP loops. In which
two ways does loop guard differ from UDLD in loop detection and prevention? (Choose two.)
A. Loop guard can be used with root guard simultaneously on the same port on the same VLAN while
UDLD cannot.
B. UDLD protects against STP failures caused by cabling problems that create one-way links.
C. Loop guard detects and protects against duplicate packets being received and transmitted on
different ports.
D. UDLD protects against unidirectional cabling problems on copper and fiber media.
E. Loop guard protects against STP failures caused by problems that result in the loss of BPDUs
from a designated switch port.
Answer: BE
Explanation:
Answers B, D, & E are all correct. However, as UDLD is only enabled on Fiber media by default I have selected B instead of D as you will have to manually configure UDLD if you want it to work on copper media.
The Cisco-proprietary UDLD protocol allows devices connected through fiber-optic or copper (for example, Category 5 cabling) Ethernet cables connected to LAN ports to monitor the physical configuration of the cables and detect when a unidirectional link exists. When a unidirectional link is detected, UDLD shuts down the affected LAN port and alerts the user. Unidirectional links can cause a variety of problems, including spanning tree topology loops. UDLD is a Layer 2 protocol that works with the Layer 1 protocols to determine the physical status of a link. At Layer 1, autonegotiation takes care of physical signaling and fault detection. UDLD performs tasks that autonegotiation cannot perform, such as detecting the identities of neighbors and shutting down misconnected LAN ports. When you enable both autonegotiation and UDLD, Layer 1 and Layer 2 detections work together to prevent physical and logical unidirectional connections and the malfunctioning of other protocols.
Based on the various design considerations, you can choose either UDLD or the loop guard feature. In regards to STP, the most noticeable difference between the two features is the absence of protection in UDLD against STP failures caused by problems in software. As a result, the designated switch does not send BPDUs.
However, this type of failure is (by an order of magnitude) more rare than failures caused by unidirectional links. In return, UDLD might be more flexible in the case of unidirectional links on EtherChannel. In this case,
UDLD disables only failed links, and the channel should remain functional with the links that remain. In such a failure, the loop guard puts it into loop-inconsistent state in order to block the whole channel.
Additionally, loop guard does not work on shared links or in situations where the link has been unidirectional since the link-up. In the last case, the port never receives BPDU and becomes designated. Because this behavior could be normal, this particular case is not covered by loop guard.
UDLD provides protection against such a scenario.
