CCNP Practice Test 2 — 10 Questions

Question 1

Drag and drop the steps of NAPALM get_facts() retrieval from IOS-XE device into the correct order, from first to last.

Accepted Answer

Import napalm and get_network_driver. The correct order starts with importing the NAPALM library and driver, then creating a driver object with device credentials, calling the open() method to establish the connection, invoking get_facts() to retrieve device facts, and finally closing the connection.

Question 2

Drag and drop the steps of Netconf/Yang-based device monitoring subscription into the correct order, from first to last.

Accepted Answer

Establish NETCONF over SSH. First establish a NETCONF session, then subscribe to a YANG data stream, and finally receive periodic push updates.

Question 3

Drag and drop each SD-WAN policy type on the left to its matching application point on the right.

Accepted Answer

App-route policy: Applied to data traffic for SLA-based path selection. App-route policies are applied to data traffic to influence path selection; cflowd policies enable flow monitoring; data policies control forwarding and NAT; control policies affect routing and TLOC advertisements; VPN membership policies control which VPNs are active on a device.

Question 4

Drag and drop the steps of Private VLAN (PVLAN) configuration steps into the correct order, from first to last.

Accepted Answer

Create the primary VLAN with vlan <id>. PVLAN configuration requires first creating the primary VLAN, then the secondary VLANs (community or isolated), associating them, and finally configuring host ports as PVLAN ports. The order ensures proper VLAN hierarchy and port assignment.

Question 5

Drag and drop each HTTP method on the left to its matching REST operation on the right.

Accepted Answer

GET: Retrieve a resource. GET retrieves; POST creates; PUT replaces; DELETE removes; PATCH partially updates.

Question 6

Drag and drop each Netmiko device type on the left to its matching operating system on the right.

Accepted Answer

cisco_ios: Cisco IOS (classic). cisco_ios is for classic IOS; cisco_nxos is for NX-OS; cisco_xr is for IOS-XR; cisco_xe is for IOS-XE.

Question 7

Drag and drop each Python library on the left to its matching network use case on the right.

Accepted Answer

Netmiko: Simplifies SSH connections to network devices. Netmiko simplifies SSH to network devices; NAPALM provides multi-vendor abstraction; Nornir is task-based and parallel; Scrapli is async-focused; Paramiko is low-level SSH.

Question 8

Drag and drop each WAN transport type on the left to its matching SD-WAN characteristic on the right.

Accepted Answer

MPLS: Predictable latency and SLA, private Layer 3 VPN. MPLS provides predictable SLA and private connectivity; Broadband (Internet) offers low cost but variable quality; LTE/4G/5G provides wireless backup with lower bandwidth; Satellite offers high latency global coverage; Metro Ethernet provides high-speed metro-area connectivity.

Question 9

Drag and drop the steps of QoS policing with two-rate three-color marker (RFC 2698) into the correct order, from first to last.

Accepted Answer

Define class-maps to match traffic. First, configure the police command with cir, pir, and conform, exceed, violate actions. Then, apply the policy to the interface. The marker uses CIR and PIR to assign colors.

Question 10

Which three statements about using Python for device inventory and data serialization in network automation are true? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

A Python script can read a YAML file containing device hostnames and IP addresses, then use that data to connect to each device and gather inventory information.. The correct answers describe practical uses of Python for inventory management and data handling. The incorrect options either misattribute YAML's features (it does not support comments natively in all parsers) or incorrectly state that JSON is always more human-readable than YAML (YAML is often considered more readable).

Answer

YAML files in Python cannot contain comments, so all inventory data must be described without explanatory text.

Answer

JSON is always more human-readable than YAML for complex inventory structures.
