CCNA AI and Network Operations Practice Test 13 — 15 Questions

Question 1

Drag and drop the following steps into the correct order to describe the general workflow for AI-assisted network configuration automation: receive intent, decompose into sub-tasks, call tools, validate output, and apply closed-loop remediation.

Accepted Answer

receive intent, decompose into sub-tasks, call tools, validate output, apply closed-loop remediation. The general AI workflow in network automation begins with receiving the high-level intent, then breaking it down into executable sub-tasks, calling the appropriate tools (e.g., APIs or scripts), validating the output to ensure correctness, and finally applying closed-loop remediation to correct any deviations. This order reflects a logical progression from planning to action to verification and correction, which aligns with foundational AI/ML concepts covered in the CCNA.

Question 2

Drag and drop the following steps into the correct order to sequence the actions an automation system performs when automating the remediation of a network configuration drift detected via NETCONF/YANG.

Accepted Answer

Detect drift via NETCONF/YANG monitoring. The automation system first detects the drift, then analyzes and plans remediation, executes the fix, and finally verifies the change.

Question 3

Drag and drop the following steps into the correct order for an agentic AI system that receives a network intent, decomposes it into sub-tasks, calls tools, validates output, and applies closed-loop remediation.

Accepted Answer

Receive network intent. The agentic AI system starts by understanding the intent, then splits it into manageable tasks, invokes tools, checks the outcome, and corrects any issues automatically.

Answer

Decompose intent into sub-tasks

Answer

Call tools to execute sub-tasks

Answer

Validate output and apply closed-loop remediation

Question 4

Drag and drop the following steps into the correct order for an agentic AI system to remediate a network performance issue using Cisco IOS-XE CLI commands.

Accepted Answer

Enter global configuration mode, diagnose interface with 'show interfaces', apply QoS policy, enable SNMP monitoring, verify with 'show running-config'.. The agent first enters configuration mode, then diagnoses the interface, applies QoS, enables monitoring, and finally verifies the changes.

Answer

Enable SNMP monitoring, enter global configuration mode, apply QoS policy, diagnose interface with 'show interfaces', verify with 'show running-config'.

Answer

Apply QoS policy, enter global configuration mode, diagnose interface with 'show interfaces', enable SNMP monitoring, verify with 'show running-config'.

Answer

Enter global configuration mode, apply QoS policy, diagnose interface with 'show interfaces', enable SNMP monitoring, verify with 'show running-config'.

Question 5

Drag and drop the following steps into the correct order to configure an IOS-XE device as an NTP client and ensure its syslog messages are sent to a remote server with correct timestamps.

Accepted Answer

Enter global configuration mode, configure the NTP server, configure the logging host and source interface, then verify with show commands.. First, enter global config, then set the NTP server, configure syslog destination and source interface, and finally verify both services.

Question 6

Drag and drop the following steps into the correct order to sequence NTP stratum hierarchy and configure an IOS-XE NTP client with syslog message processing from event to log server.

Accepted Answer

Stratum 0 (atomic clock) → Stratum 1 (primary server) → Stratum 2 (secondary server) → Configure NTP client with 'ntp server' command → Enable logging with 'logging buffered' or 'logging host' → Syslog messages timestamped with NTP time. NTP time flows from lower stratum numbers (most accurate) to higher stratum numbers. The correct order is Stratum 0 (atomic clock) → Stratum 1 (primary server) → Stratum 2 (secondary server). After configuring the NTP client and enabling logging, syslog messages are accurately timestamped with the synchronized time.

Question 7

Drag and drop the following steps into the correct order to configure an IOS-XE device as an NTP client and set up syslog reporting of NTP events to a remote log server.

Accepted Answer

Enter global configuration mode, configure NTP server, configure logging host, enable logging of NTP events, verify.. First, enter global configuration mode. Then configure the NTP server to define the time source. Next, configure the logging host to specify the remote syslog server. After that, enable logging of NTP events so that NTP-related syslog messages are generated and sent to the configured host. Finally, verify the configuration. Option B is wrong because configuring the logging host before the NTP server would attempt to send logs before time synchronization is set up, and the NTP server must be configured first to generate NTP events. Option C is incorrect because enabling NTP event logging before configuring both the NTP server and the logging host means there is no NTP server to generate events and no logging destination to send them to. Option D is wrong because enabling logging of NTP events before configuring the logging host would cause generated messages to be dropped if the logging host is not yet set; the logging host must be configured before enabling NTP event logging.

Question 8

Drag and drop the syslog severity levels on the left to their corresponding names and meanings on the right.

Accepted Answer

Level 0 – Emergency: System is unusable. Syslog severity levels: 0 (emergency), 1 (alert), 2 (critical), 3 (error), 4 (warning), 5 (notification). Levels 6 and 7 are informational and debugging.

Answer

Level 1 – Alert: Immediate action needed

Answer

Level 2 – Critical: Critical conditions

Answer

Level 3 – Error: Error conditions

Question 9

Drag and drop the following steps into the correct order to set up gRPC streaming telemetry subscription on a Cisco IOS-XE device.

Accepted Answer

Enter global configuration mode, create a telemetry subscription, configure the receiver, define the sensor path, associate the sensor group with the subscription.. The correct sequence starts by entering global configuration mode. Next, create a telemetry subscription because the subscription provides the sub-mode where the remaining elements are configured. Within the subscription, configure the receiver to specify the destination, protocol, and encoding. Then, define the sensor path to select the YANG data nodes to be streamed. Finally, associate the sensor group to bind the sensor path to the subscription. While the order of configuring the receiver and defining the sensor path is flexible inside the subscription—neither depends on the other—the subscription itself must exist before any subcomponent.

Question 10

Drag and drop the following steps into the correct order to configure gRPC streaming telemetry subscription on a Cisco IOS-XE device, from initial setup to data collection.

Accepted Answer

Enter global configuration mode, enable telemetry, define subscription with encoding and filter, specify receiver, verify data collection.. The correct order starts with entering global config, then enabling telemetry, defining subscription details (encoding and filter), specifying the receiver, and finally verifying data collection.

Answer

Enable telemetry, define subscription, specify receiver, enter global config, verify data collection.

Answer

Define subscription with encoding and filter, enable telemetry, specify receiver, enter global config, verify data collection.

Answer

Specify receiver, define subscription, enable telemetry, enter global config, verify data collection.

Question 12

Drag and drop the monitoring technologies on the left to the correct data model and transport descriptions on the right.

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

Send a GET request to retrieve the current interface configuration.. Retrieve the current interface config, parse it, modify the description, apply the update, and verify the change.

Question 15

Drag and drop the following steps into the correct order to retrieve the current OSPF configuration via RESTCONF and apply a change to the OSPF process ID on a Cisco IOS-XE device.

Accepted Answer

Send a GET request to retrieve the current OSPF configuration.. First, send a GET request to retrieve the current OSPF configuration. Then parse the JSON/XML payload to identify the OSPF process ID. Next, modify the OSPF process ID in the payload. Finally, send a PUT or PATCH request to apply the change.
