Pass the Cisco CCNP Service Provider 350-501 Questions and answers with ValidTests

To influence inbound path selection when implementing BGP in a multihomed architecture, an engineer must configure a route map with the AS_PATH attribute. The AS_PATH attribute is used to manipulate the path information to make certain routes more or less attractive, thereby influencing the decision-making process for inbound traffic.

Option B is the correct answer because it meets all the given requirements. The configuration “snmp-server community comaccess ro 10” allows read-only access for all objects to members of Access-List 10 that use the comaccess community string. The “snmp-server host ABC.com informs version 2c public” command ensures SNMP authentication failure traps are sent to SNMPv2c and then to the host using SNMPv2c with the public community string.

When configuring the 802.1q VLAN tag, the MTU must be increased by 4 bytes. This is because the 802.1Q tag adds an additional header to the Ethernet frame, which includes information such as the VLAN ID and priority. To accommodate this extra header without fragmenting the packet, the MTU must be increased accordingly2. References: Configure 802.1Q VLAN Tagging, 802.1q and MTU.

To inject a default route into the MP-BGP address family for a dedicated VRF, you would typically need to:

Configure a static default route in the VRF using the ip route vrf 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0  command.

Redistribute the static route into BGP using the redistribute static command under the BGP VRF configuration.

The configuration in Option C correctly sets up the interfaces for VLAN tag translation. On interface GigabitEthernet2, the command rewrite ingress tag translate 1-to-1 dot1q 21 changes the incoming VLAN tag from 12 to 21. Conversely, on interface GigabitEthernet3, the command rewrite egress tag translate 1-to-1 dot1q 12 changes the outgoing VLAN tag from 21 to 12. This setup ensures that traffic flowing from R1 to R2 and vice versa has the correct VLAN tags as required.

The difference between SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and model-driven telemetry lies in their data delivery mechanisms. Telemetry allows for modeled network data to be pushed to network administrators on an as-needed basis, providing real-time insights into network performance and health. On the other hand, SNMP typically relies on polling mechanisms where network administrators request data at specific intervals. References: Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies source documents or study guide

To redirect traffic from ASN 64501 to 10.0.0.0/8 via the primary link North_A instead of the slow backup link North_B, setting a higher local preference between North_A and South_A is required. Local preference is a BGP attribute that helps in selecting the exit point from an AS (Autonomous System). By increasing local preference for routes received on North_A, traffic will be directed through this path as it becomes more preferred. References := Cisco Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR)

The issue here is that R1 and R2 cannot yet establish an LDP TCP connection. From the exhibit, it’s clear that the password is not required as it states “Password: not required, none, in use”. So, option C “Configure the no mpls Idp password option 1 command on R2” would be the correct answer to allow the establishment of an LDP TCP connection without requiring a password. This aligns with Cisco’s guidelines on configuring MPLS LDP where passwords might not be necessary for establishing connections between routers.

The configuration shown indicates that Router 1 is set up with a route-map named “ddos” that matches traffic tagged with “tag 1”. The traffic matching this tag is then set to have a next-hop IP of 192.0.2.1 and a local preference of 150. The community is also set to “no export”, which means this route will not be advertised to external BGP peers. Since there’s no explicit deny statement in the configuration, only traffic with tag 1 and local preference of 150 will be dropped by Router 1 as per the BGP routing policy. References: Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies course materials. 

The configuration ip verify unicast source reachable-via any under interface gigabitethernet0/1 on Router 1 ensures that incoming packets have a source IP address that matches an entry in the FIB (Forwarding Information Base), indicating it’s reachable via a real interface. This helps mitigate attacks by dropping traffic with unreachable source addresses. References := Cisco

In a multicampus network that supports video streaming, the engineer should configure the network to use IGMPv3. IGMPv3 is the version of IGMP that supports Source-Specific Multicast (SSM). SSM allows the receiver to specify the source of the multicast stream, which is particularly useful for video streaming applications. By using SSM, the network can efficiently deliver the video content from the specified source to the receivers without unnecessary traffic from other sources. References := Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) v1.01.

 In OSPF, for two routers to establish communication, they must have the same key ID and key value on their interfaces. This ensures secure communication between the OSPF peers. The key ID and value are part of the OSPF authentication mechanism that helps in validating the identity of OSPF peers before exchanging routing information. References: Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) - Cisco SPCOR Training & Certification
