Pro-only bank questions stay locked; this section mirrors only the 10 free daily questions already shown on this page.
Question 1 Which automation tool is commonly used for agentless network configuration management with playbooks?
Answer choices
- A. Ansible
- B. Chef
- C. Puppet
- D. Terraform
Correct answer
Ansible
Ansible is commonly used for agentless automation with YAML playbooks and network modules. Chef and Puppet are configuration tools with different operating models, while Terraform is primarily infrastructure provisioning as code.
Wrong-answer review
- B. Chef: Chef is a configuration management tool, but Ansible is the agentless playbook tool commonly tested for network automation.
- C. Puppet: Puppet is a configuration management tool with a different model; it is not the Ansible playbook answer here.
- D. Terraform: Terraform is mainly for infrastructure provisioning as code, not the Ansible network playbook use case.
Extra learning features
Why candidates miss this
The familiarity with Chef, a configuration management tool, leads to selecting it. Ansible, however, distinguishes itself through its agentless architecture and use of YAML playbooks, making it the preferred choice for agentless network configuration management. Ansible's agentless design simplifies deployment and management compared to Chef's agent-based model. Likely wrong answer: Chef Review focus: Ansible Automation Platform
Interview question
Q: Our network team is struggling to consistently apply configuration changes across our diverse set of routers and switches. We're looking for a way to automate this process and ensure consistency. What tools would you consider, and what are the pros and cons of each? Strong answer: I'd definitely look at Ansible. Its agentless nature makes it attractive for a large, diverse environment. Chef and Puppet are options too, but they typically require agents, which adds complexity. Terraform is more focused on infrastructure provisioning, not ongoing configuration management. With Ansible, we'd need to build out playbooks, manage variables, and establish a robust testing process before deploying changes to production.
- Understanding of different automation tools and their use cases
- Agentless vs. agent-based considerations
- Configuration management best practices
- Testing and deployment strategies
Caution: Recommending a tool without considering the specific needs of the environment or the operational overhead involved. Also, suggesting a tool primarily for infrastructure provisioning for configuration management.
Why this matters
Exam items may test ansible: case 147 through 6.6, especially how the cited concept changes the decision. A strong answer keeps that source detail separate from nearby distractors.
Question 2 To facilitate neighbor discovery between Cisco and non-Cisco devices on a network, which protocol should be enabled on the switch?
Answer choices
- A. Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP)
- B. Link-Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
- C. Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)
- D. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
Correct answer
Link-Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
Question 3 How does automation help when the same network settings must be deployed across many devices?
Answer choices
- A. It reduces the need for physical infrastructure
- B. It minimizes the risk of security breaches
- C. It allows for consistent configuration across devices
- D. It decreases reliance on skilled IT staff
Correct answer
It allows for consistent configuration across devices
Question 4 Which wireless security protocol is recommended for environments requiring strong encryption and robust authentication mechanisms to protect against advanced threats?
Answer choices
- A. WPA3
- B. WPA2
- C. WEP
- D. WPA
Correct answer
WPA3
Question 5 A syslog message has severity level 2. Which severity name corresponds to that level?
Answer choices
- A. Critical (2)
- B. Error (3)
- C. Emergency (0)
- D. Alert (1)
Correct answer
Critical (2)
Question 6 Two OSPF neighbors are connected on the same link, but their interface IP addresses are not in the same subnet. What happens to the neighbor relationship?
Answer choices
- A. Routers continue to exchange LSAs despite the misconfiguration
- B. Neighbor adjacency fails because of IP address mismatch
- C. OSPF will form a full adjacency but with reduced metric
- D. The routers will not establish an adjacency due to mismatched hello/dead intervals
Correct answer
Neighbor adjacency fails because of IP address mismatch
Question 7 Remote administrators can log in over VTY lines, but they are placed at the wrong command privilege level. Which configuration area should be checked?
Answer choices
- A. The router's login banner is missing or incorrectly configured
- B. Local password complexity requirements are too strict
- C. Console access is prioritized over remote access settings
- D. VTY line configurations have incorrect privilege levels set
Correct answer
VTY line configurations have incorrect privilege levels set
Question 8 Which command would you use to check the operational status of an active LACP EtherChannel on a Cisco switch?
Answer choices
- A. show ip interface brief
- B. show lacp system-id
- C. show etherchannel summary
- D. show interfaces port-channel
Correct answer
show etherchannel summary
Question 9 A switch has learned a MAC address on an access port, but no frames from that source are seen before the aging timer expires. What happens to that MAC table entry?
Answer choices
- A. Updates the MAC address table with a new entry
- B. Forwards the frame to all ports except the receiving port
- C. Sends an ARP request to discover the correct destination port
- D. Removes the entry from its MAC table
Correct answer
Removes the entry from its MAC table
Question 10 An SNMP operation fails because the manager uses an invalid community string. What should the manager expect?
Answer choices
- A. MIB updates are sent directly to the SNMP manager
- B. The SNMP manager will receive no response
- C. The SNMP manager will receive error messages
- D. Polling frequency increases automatically
Correct answer
The SNMP manager will receive error messages
