158

You are connected to R1 via the console. The network operations center (NOC) has asked you to configure R1 as an NTP client of the NTP server at 192.0.2.10 (reachable via VLAN 100, SVI 192.168.1.1/24). They also need all system messages of level 'debug' (level 7) and higher forwarded to the syslog server at 203.0.113.50. The current configuration shows that NTP is not working (stratum 16) and syslog is only sending critical and higher messages. Fix both issues.

159

You are connected to R1. Configure R1 as an NTP client to synchronize with NTP server 203.0.113.10, using its Loopback0 interface (192.168.1.1/32) as the source for NTP packets. Additionally, configure logging to syslog server 192.0.2.100 with a trap level that captures events from level 5 (notice) and above. The current configuration shows that NTP is not synchronized (stratum 16) and only debugging messages are being sent to the syslog server. Correct these issues so that R1 is synchronized and important system messages are logged.

160

You are connected to R1 via console. The NTP server 198.51.100.10 is already configured on R1, but R1 is not synchronizing because the NTP packets are sourced from the wrong interface. Configure R1 to source NTP packets from its loopback0 interface (IP 10.0.0.1/32). Additionally, configure syslog logging to the remote server 203.0.113.5, ensuring that only messages at severity 'notifications' (level 5) and above are sent. The current configuration shows that syslog is sending all messages (including debug-level) to the server, wasting bandwidth. Fix both issues.

161

You are connected to R1. Configure NTP client to synchronize with the NTP server at 203.0.113.10, using the loopback0 interface (192.168.1.1/32) as the source. Also configure syslog to send messages of severity level 5 (notifications) and below to the syslog server at 198.51.100.20. Currently, NTP shows stratum 16 (unsynchronized) and important syslog messages are being missed.

162

You are connected to R1. Configure NTP client so that R1 synchronizes with the NTP server at 198.51.100.10, using its Loopback0 (10.0.0.1/32) as the source interface. Also configure syslog to send messages of severity 5 (notifications) and above to 192.0.2.20. The current configuration shows a misconfigured NTP server address and an incorrect logging trap level. Verify with 'show ntp status' (stratum should not be 16) and 'show logging'.

163

You are connected to R1 via the console. R1 is a router acting as an NTP client to an external NTP server at 203.0.113.10. The NTP source interface must be Loopback0 (192.0.2.1/32). Additionally, configure R1 to send syslog messages of severity 'critical' and higher to a syslog server at 198.51.100.50. Currently, R1 shows 'Clock is unsynchronized, stratum 16'. Verify that NTP synchronizes and that only critical syslog messages are sent. The existing running configuration already has some NTP and syslog commands that need correction.

164

You are connected to R1, a branch router connected to a central NTP server at 203.0.113.10 and a syslog server at 198.51.100.20. Configure R1 as an NTP client using its Loopback0 interface (192.168.1.1/32) as the source, and ensure syslog messages of severity 'informational' and above are sent to the syslog server. Currently, R1 shows 'Clock is unsynchronized, stratum 16'. Identify and fix the NTP issue, then apply the syslog configuration.

165

You are connected to R1 via the console. R1 should synchronize its clock with the NTP server 192.0.2.10 using its loopback0 interface (IP 10.0.0.1) as the source. Additionally, syslog messages of severity 'notification' (level 5) and above must be sent to the syslog server at 198.51.100.20. Currently, R1 shows NTP stratum 16 (unsynchronized) and syslog messages are not being forwarded. Identify and resolve the issues.

166

You are connected to R1, a branch router that must synchronize time with the NTP server at 198.51.100.1 (reachable via G0/0) and send critical syslog messages (severity 0-4) to the logging server at 203.0.113.10. The current configuration has NTP pointing to a wrong server and syslog set to debug level, flooding the server. Correct the NTP server, set the NTP source interface to Loopback0 (10.10.10.1/32), and adjust the syslog trap level so that only emergencies through warnings are logged.

167

You are connected to R1 via the console. SNMP v2c community strings (public RO, private RW) are already configured. The network has a management server at 10.1.1.100 and a NetFlow collector at 10.1.1.200. Configure SNMP traps to the management server for link status changes. Also configure NetFlow on interface GigabitEthernet0/0 to export version 9 to the collector, with a source interface of Loopback0 (10.255.255.1/32).

168

You are connected to R1 via the console. R1 is a Cisco ISR 4331 router. Your task is to configure SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 traps, and NetFlow export, so that SNMP traps are sent to the NMS at 192.0.2.100 using SNMPv2c with community string 'PublicTrap', and also using SNMPv3 with user 'Admin' (authentication SHA, encryption AES) to the same NMS. Additionally, configure NetFlow to export version 9 flow records to 192.0.2.200 on UDP port 2055. Finally, verify your configurations.

169

You are connected to R1 via console. R1 is a Cisco ISR 4321 running IOS-XE 17.3. The initial configuration on R1 already includes the SNMPv2c community string 'CourseivaRO' with read-only access and a corresponding SNMPv2c trap host for 192.0.2.100 (these are already in place and do not need to be reconfigured). Your task is to add the following additional configurations: (a) [already configured] (b) Create an SNMPv3 user 'monitor' with SHA authentication and AES 128-bit encryption, using authentication password 'AuthPass123' and privacy password 'PrivPass456'; (c) Configure SNMP traps (linkUp, linkDown, authenticationFailure) to be sent to the NMS server at 192.0.2.100 using SNMPv3 with only authentication (no privacy). (d) Enable NetFlow on GigabitEthernet0/0/0, with flow export to collector 203.0.113.50 using UDP port 2055, NetFlow version 9, and set the source interface to Loopback0 (IP 10.0.0.1/32). Finally, verify your configuration with show snmp and show ip cache flow.

170

You are connected to R1. Configure SNMP v2c with a read-only community string 'monitorRO' and a read-write community string 'controlRW', and enable SNMP traps for link status to the management server at 203.0.113.100. Additionally, configure NetFlow to export version 9 flow records to the same server on UDP port 2055, and ensure that only traffic from the 10.10.10.0/24 network is monitored. Finally, verify your configurations with the appropriate show commands.

171

You are connected to R1, a router that must send SNMP traps to a management server at 203.0.113.10 and export NetFlow data to a collector at 203.0.113.20. Currently, SNMPv2c traps are not being sent, and SNMPv3 is not configured for read-only access with authentication and privacy. Additionally, NetFlow export is missing the destination and version configuration. Configure the necessary commands on R1 to enable SNMPv2c traps (community string 'public'), configure SNMPv3 user 'admin' with SHA authentication and AES 128 encryption (password 'cisco123' for both auth and priv), and set NetFlow export to version 9.

172

You are connected to R1, a Cisco router running IOS-XE. Configure SNMP v2c with a read-only community string 'publicRW' (note: the string is intentionally misnamed for the task), and SNMP v3 with user 'admin' using MD5 authentication (password 'cisco123') and DES encryption (password 'cisco456'). Ensure SNMP traps for linkUp/linkDown are sent to the management server at 192.0.2.100. Additionally, configure NetFlow export to send version 9 flow records to 192.0.2.200 on UDP port 2055, and ensure that only inbound traffic on GigabitEthernet0/0 is monitored. Finally, verify your configuration using 'show snmp' and 'show ip cache flow'.

173

You are connected to R1, a Cisco ISR 4321 running IOS-XE. Configure SNMPv2c with a read-only community string 'public' and SNMPv3 with user 'admin' using SHA authentication and AES encryption. Ensure SNMP traps are sent to the management server at 203.0.113.10. Additionally, configure NetFlow export to destination 203.0.113.20 on UDP port 2055 using version 9. Verify your configuration with appropriate show commands. The current running-config is incomplete; you must add the missing commands.

174

You are connected to R1, a Cisco IOS-XE router. Configure SNMP v2c with read-only community 'NetOpsRO' and SNMP v3 with user 'AdminUser' using SHA authentication (password: AuthPass1) and AES-128 encryption (password: PrivPass2). Also enable SNMP traps to the NMS at 192.0.2.10 with community 'TrapComm'. Additionally, configure NetFlow export to 192.0.2.20 using version 9, and ensure the flow exporter is applied to GigabitEthernet0/0. Verify your configuration using 'show snmp' and 'show ip cache flow'.

177

You are connected to R1 (192.0.2.1/24, management IP). The network team needs to automate interface configuration using RESTCONF. Construct a valid RESTCONF GET request to retrieve the operational status of GigabitEthernet0/1 using the ietf-interfaces YANG module, and a PATCH request to set the description of that interface to 'Link to R2' using the Cisco-IOS-XE-native YANG module. Identify the error that occurs if the Accept header is set to application/json instead of application/yang-data+json.

178

You are connected to R1. Use RESTCONF to retrieve all operational interface statistics from the ietf-interfaces YANG module, then modify the description of GigabitEthernet0/1 to 'Link to R2 via RESTCONF' using a PATCH request. The device is reachable at 203.0.113.1 with port 443, username 'admin', password 'cisco123'. Identify the error that would occur if you used a PATCH with Content-Type: application/json instead of application/yang-data+json.

179

You are connected to R1 (192.168.1.1). Using RESTCONF, you need to retrieve the current operational status of GigabitEthernet0/0 using the ietf-interfaces YANG module, then change its description to 'WAN Link to R2' via a PATCH request. The device is reachable via HTTPS on port 443, with credentials admin/admin. Identify the correct base URI, YANG path, HTTP headers, and interpret the JSON response. Also, diagnose the error when an incorrect Content-Type or YANG path is used.

180

You are connected to R1. Using RESTCONF, you need to retrieve the current IP address of interface GigabitEthernet0/0 using the ietf-interfaces YANG model, then change it to 192.0.2.1/24 using a PATCH request. The device is reachable at 10.1.1.1 with port 443 and credentials admin/cisco. Identify the correct URIs and required HTTP headers, and explain why a GET with Accept: application/json would fail.

181

You are connected to R1 (10.0.0.1/30). You need to use RESTCONF to verify the current administrative status of interface GigabitEthernet0/1 on R1, then change it to 'down'. The YANG data model is ietf-interfaces, and the base URI is https://10.0.0.1/restconf. Provide the correct GET and PATCH request URIs with appropriate HTTP headers. Also identify what error would occur if you used 'application/xml' as the Accept header or if you used the path 'Cisco-IOS-XE-native:native/interface/GigabitEthernet' instead of the correct ietf-interfaces path.

182

You are connected to R1 (192.0.2.1/24). Use RESTCONF to query the operational state of GigabitEthernet0/0 using the ietf-interfaces YANG module. Then, send a PATCH request to disable the interface (set 'enabled' to false) using the Cisco-IOS-XE-native YANG module. Identify the error when a PATCH request is sent with the wrong Content-Type header (application/json instead of application/yang-data+json) and when the PATCH URI uses an incorrect YANG path (ietf-interfaces instead of Cisco-IOS-XE-native).

183

Which option performs the RESTCONF operations correctly?

184

You are connected to R1 (192.168.1.1/24, GigabitEthernet0/0). Using RESTCONF, you need to retrieve the operational status of interface GigabitEthernet0/0 and then change its description to 'Uplink to R2'. The correct base URI is https://192.168.1.1/restconf. Provide the GET and PATCH request URIs, required HTTP headers, and identify the error that occurs if you use Accept: application/json instead of application/yang-data+json.

185

You are connected to R1 (198.51.100.1/24). Using RESTCONF, you need to retrieve the current operational status of GigabitEthernet0/0/0 via the ietf-interfaces YANG model, then update its description to 'WAN-Link-to-R2' using a PATCH request with the Cisco-IOS-XE-native YANG model. The candidate must identify the correct base URI, YANG module path, HTTP headers (Accept: application/yang-data+json), interpret the JSON response, and recognize the error that occurs when an incorrect Content-Type header or wrong YANG path is used.
