30 questions from this objective

Question 2mediummultiple choice
Study the full QoS explanation →

A network engineer is configuring QoS on a Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch to prioritize voice traffic. The switch is connected to an IP phone and a PC using a single access port. The engineer applies a service policy on the access port that marks CoS 5 for voice and CoS 0 for data. However, the IP phone is not receiving any voice packets. What is the most likely cause?

Question 3hardmultiple choice
Read the full MPLS explanation →

An engineer is deploying QoS on a WAN link between two sites using a Cisco ISR 4451 router. The link is a 10 Mbps MPLS circuit. The engineer wants to ensure that voice traffic (EF) is never dropped, even during congestion. The current policy uses a single class map for voice with a policer that drops excess traffic. During peak hours, users report choppy voice calls. What change should the engineer make?

Question 4hardmultiple choice
Study the full QoS explanation →

A network engineer is troubleshooting QoS on a Cisco Nexus 9000 switch. The switch is configured with a policy map that uses a class-default with a bandwidth remaining percent of 100. However, during congestion, traffic in a priority queue (class-map for EF) is experiencing drops even though the priority queue is not fully utilized. What is the most likely cause?

Question 5mediummultiple choice
Study the full QoS explanation →

An engineer is configuring QoS on a Cisco ASR 1000 router to support three traffic classes: voice (EF), video (AF41), and data (default). The link is a 50 Mbps Ethernet circuit. The engineer wants to guarantee 10 Mbps for voice, 20 Mbps for video, and the remaining for data. The current policy uses bandwidth percent statements. During congestion, voice traffic is not receiving its guaranteed bandwidth. What is the most likely cause?

Question 6mediummultiple choice
Study the full QoS explanation →

A network engineer is troubleshooting voice quality issues on a Cisco Catalyst 9300 switch. The switch is configured with auto QoS for voice, which enabled trust on the access ports. However, voice packets are being marked with DSCP EF but are still experiencing jitter. The engineer checks the interface queue statistics and sees that the priority queue is not being used. What is the most likely reason?

Question 7hardmultiple choice
Study the full QoS explanation →

An engineer is configuring QoS on a Cisco ISR 4331 router for a site-to-site VPN tunnel. The tunnel interface is configured with a service policy that uses a class map matching DSCP EF. The engineer notices that the policy is not shaping traffic as expected; the tunnel bandwidth is 20 Mbps but the shaper is set to 10 Mbps. However, traffic still exceeds 10 Mbps. What is the most likely cause?

Question 8easymultiple choice
Study the full QoS explanation →

A network engineer is deploying QoS on a Cisco Catalyst 4500 switch to support four queues per port. The engineer wants to assign voice traffic to queue 1 (priority), video to queue 2, critical data to queue 3, and best-effort to queue 4. The switch is configured with the default CoS-to-queue mapping. However, video traffic is being placed in queue 1 along with voice. What should the engineer do to separate them?

Question 9hardmultiple choice
Study the full QoS explanation →

An engineer is troubleshooting QoS on a Cisco ASR 1002 router. The router is configured with a policy map that includes a class for voice with a priority command. During congestion, the engineer notices that voice traffic is being dropped even though the priority queue is not congested. The router logs show 'QoS: priority queue overflow'. What is the most likely cause?

Question 10easymultiple choice
Open the full VLAN trunking answer →

A network engineer is configuring QoS on a Cisco Catalyst 2960-X switch to support marking of traffic based on VLAN. The switch has two VLANs: VLAN 10 (voice) and VLAN 20 (data). The engineer wants to mark all traffic from VLAN 10 with CoS 5 and all traffic from VLAN 20 with CoS 0. The engineer applies a policy map that matches on VLAN using a class map. However, the marking is not being applied. What is the most likely reason?
