You are connected to R1 via console. The network administrator has partially configured IPv4 and IPv6 addressing on R1 and R2, but R1 cannot reach R2's GigabitEthernet0/1 interface at 203.0.113.2/24. Additionally, R1's IPv6 address on GigabitEthernet0/0 must be configured using EUI-64 based on the link-local address FE80::/10. Examine the current configuration, identify and fix the IPv4 issue, then complete the IPv6 configuration so that R1 can ping both R2's IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

You are connected to R1 via the console. R1 has two directly connected routers: R2 and R3. Currently, R1 cannot reach R2's loopback interface (203.0.113.1/32).

Configure R1's interfaces and static routes so that: (1) R1 can ping R2's loopback, (2) R1 can ping R3's IPv6 address 2001:db8:acad:2::1/64, and (3) R1's IPv6 address on the link to R3 is derived using EUI-64.

You are connected to R1 via console. The network consists of R1, R2, and a multilayer switch MLS1. R1's GigabitEthernet0/0 connects to MLS1's GigabitEthernet1/0/1 (VLAN 10), and MLS1's GigabitEthernet1/0/2 connects to R2's GigabitEthernet0/0. The goal is to enable IPv6 communication between R1 and R2 across the layer-3 switch. Currently, R1 and R2 cannot ping each other's IPv6 addresses. Configure R1's G0/0 with the IPv6 prefix 2001:db8:1:10::/64 using EUI-64, and R2's G0/0 with static IPv6 address 2001:db8:1:10::2/64. Also ensure MLS1 has IPv6 routing enabled and an IPv6 address on VLAN 10 (2001:db8:1:10::3/64). Troubleshoot and fix any layer-2 or layer-3 issues preventing connectivity.

Question 288hardScenario
Study the full IPv6 explanation →

You are connected to R1. Configure IPv4 and IPv6 addressing on interfaces G0/0 and G0/1 so that R1 can reach R2's loopback0 (198.51.100.1/32) and R2 can reach R1's loopback0 (203.0.113.1/32). The current configuration has a wrong subnet mask on R1 G0/0 and a missing default gateway on R2, causing reachability failures. Additionally, configure IPv6 using EUI-64 on R1 G0/1 and static IPv6 on R2 G0/1 to enable IPv6 ping between the two routers. All devices are routers.

Question 289hardScenario

You are connected to R1. The network has three routers: R1, R2, and R3. R1's G0/0 is connected to R2's G0/0, and R1's G0/1 is connected to R3's G0/1. The goal is to configure R1 so that it can ping both R2 (192.0.2.2/30) and R3 (2001:db8:1::2/64). Currently, R1 cannot ping R2 due to a wrong subnet mask on R1's G0/0, and R3 is using an IPv6 EUI-64 address but R1 has been given a static IPv6 address that conflicts. Fix both issues and verify connectivity.

You are connected to R1. Configure IPv4 and IPv6 addressing on R1's GigabitEthernet0/0 and GigabitEthernet0/1 interfaces so that R1 can ping both R2's IPv4 address (203.0.113.2) and R2's IPv6 address (2001:db8:1::2). The current configuration has an incorrect subnet mask on G0/0, missing default gateway, and R1's G0/1 has a duplicate IPv4 address with R3. Also, use EUI-64 for IPv6 on G0/0 and static IPv6 assignment on G0/1. Ensure all issues are resolved and connectivity verified.

You are managing a Cisco WLC (WLC-1) with IP 10.10.10.10. A wireless client reports it can see the SSID 'CorpNet' but fails to associate. The SSID is configured for WPA3, but the client only supports WPA2. Additionally, the WLAN is mapped to VLAN 100, but the AP is on VLAN 10, causing a mismatch. Your task: reconfigure the WLAN to use WPA2-PSK with AES encryption, correct the VLAN assignment to 10, and ensure the SSID is hidden. Also, verify that management access via the WLC web UI is restricted to the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet.

Identify and correct the misconfiguration that prevents the user's default gateway from functioning. The user's PC has IP address 192.168.10.50/24 and uses 192.168.10.1 as its default gateway.

You are troubleshooting a connectivity issue for a remote worker who reports being unable to access the internet. The worker's PC is connected to switch S1, which is connected to router R1. You have console access to R1. The router's interface G0/0 is configured with IP 192.168.1.1/24, and the DHCP pool 'LAN' currently has network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 and default-router 192.168.1.254. The PC has obtained an IP address of 192.168.1.100 from DHCP and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, but cannot ping 8.8.8.8. Identify the fault and configure R1 to restore internet access for the PC.

You are troubleshooting a client connectivity issue on PC1, which is connected to switch SW1. PC1 reports that it cannot access the internet, but it can ping its default gateway (192.168.1.1). The network uses VLAN 10 for the client subnet. Examine the following show outputs: On PC1, ipconfig shows IP 192.168.1.10, default gateway 192.168.1.1, DNS server 192.168.1.1. On SW1, show running-config includes 'interface Vlan10' with IP 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0, but no 'ip dns server' and no 'ip name-server' commands. SW1's show ip route displays a default route via 203.0.113.1. Identify the root cause. Configure the necessary fix on the appropriate device to restore full connectivity.

You are troubleshooting connectivity between R1 and R2. R1's GigabitEthernet0/0 interface is configured with a static IP of 10.0.0.1/30 but cannot ping its neighbor R2 at 10.0.0.2/30. R1 is using a 1000BASE-T SFP module to connect to a 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP on R2, but the link is down. Diagnose and resolve the issue by adjusting interface speed and duplex settings, and ensure the correct SFP is used for the 2 km fiber run.

You are connected to R1 via console. R1's GigabitEthernet0/1 interface connects to a remote site switch over a 2 km fiber link. The current configuration shows speed and duplex set to 1000 Mbps and full, but the interface is down/down due to an SFP mismatch. Review the exhibit, identify the problem, and correct it so that the interface comes up and communicates at the correct speed and duplex. Additionally, ensure the interface is configured to auto-negotiate properly for future cable replacements.

You are connected to R1 via the console. R1 and R2 are directly connected via their GigabitEthernet0/0 interfaces. The link between them is down.

A technician is troubleshooting a connection between two routers, R1 and R2, connected back-to-back using Ethernet cables. Both routers have their interfaces configured and are in an 'up/up' state. R1's interface uses 192.168.1.1/24, and R2's interface uses 192.168.2.1/24. When the technician attempts to ping R2 from R1, the ping fails. What is the most likely cause?

A network engineer notices that after issuing the no shutdown command on interface GigabitEthernet0/0 of a router, the interface remains down. The output of show interfaces GigabitEthernet0/0 displays 'GigabitEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is down'. The physically connected switch port is also administratively down. What is the most likely cause?

Refer to the exhibit. A network engineer is troubleshooting a connectivity issue on R1. The serial link to R2 on interface Serial0/1 is using HDLC encapsulation, and the physical cable has been verified as good. The engineer has confirmed that the encapsulation type matches on both routers and that the clock rate is correctly configured on the DCE end. Based on the output, what is the most likely cause of the line protocol down state on Serial0/1?

Question 407hardmultiple choice
Read the full NAT/PAT explanation →

A branch router has two equal-cost static routes to the same destination network. Both routes are displayed in the output of the show ip route command, and pings from the router to both next-hop IP addresses succeed. Despite this, all traffic heading toward that destination is egressing only a single interface. The technician suspects Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) is not performing load balancing as expected. What should the technician do next?
