Multi-select questions tell you to 'Choose TWO' or 'Choose THREE'. Getting partial credit is not a thing — you must select all correct answers with no incorrect ones. The stem always states how many to choose, so trust it. These questions require precision, not best-guess elimination.
Start Scenario PracticeWhich TWO statements about IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs are true?
Explanation: Extended IPv4 ACLs filter on source and destination IP addresses, ports, and protocols, so placing them as close to the source as possible prevents unwanted traffic from traversing the network, reducing bandwidth waste and security risks. This is a best practice for extended ACLs, unlike standard ACLs which should be placed close to the destination.
Which TWO statements accurately describe the characteristics and deployment considerations for fiber optic cabling in a modern enterprise network?
Explanation: The correct statements are that 10GBASE-SR over OM3 multimode fiber supports up to 300 meters and that fiber optic cabling is immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it ideal for electrically noisy environments. Single-mode fiber actually has a smaller core diameter than multimode, making option A incorrect. Multimode fiber is designed for shorter links, so option B is wrong. Standard 1000BASE-LX SFP transceivers over single-mode fiber are limited to 5 km, not 10 km, so option C is inaccurate.
Which TWO statements correctly describe the behavior of standard ACLs and their placement on interfaces?
Explanation: Standard ACLs filter traffic based solely on the source IP address, using numbers 1–99 or 1300–1999 in classic Cisco IOS. They do not consider destination IP, protocol, or port numbers. Because they lack granularity, placing them close to the destination (option D) prevents them from inadvertently blocking traffic that should be permitted, as they cannot distinguish between traffic destined for different services on the same destination host.
A branch router is running single-area OSPF. An engineer wants an interface to advertise its connected network into OSPF but must prevent hello packets from being sent on that LAN segment. Which two actions achieve that goal?
Explanation: In OSPF, a passive interface still advertises the connected network but does not send or process hello packets. So the interface must participate in OSPF, and then it must be made passive.
Which THREE statements accurately describe the characteristics of NETCONF and RESTCONF for programmatic network configuration?
Explanation: NETCONF uses XML-encoded Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) over a secure transport such as SSH or TLS, making option B correct. RESTCONF supports both XML and JSON encoding and uses standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE), so option C is correct. Both NETCONF and RESTCONF rely on YANG data models to define the structure of configuration and operational data, confirming option D. Option A is incorrect because NETCONF does not use HTTP methods; that is a characteristic of RESTCONF. Option E is wrong because RESTCONF does not use a separate commit operation; changes are applied immediately with each HTTP request, unlike NETCONF's candidate config and commit model.
