Question 1mediummultiple choice
Study the full virtualization explanation →

A company is migrating its legacy firewall services to a virtualized environment using Cisco NFV. The network engineer deploys a virtual firewall (vFW) on an NFVIS-enabled UCS platform. After the deployment, traffic through the vFW is intermittent and performance monitoring shows high CPU usage on the host. Which action should the engineer take to improve performance?

Question 2mediummultiple choice
Study the full virtualization explanation →

An enterprise is deploying a virtual router (vRouter) as part of its NFV infrastructure. The engineer needs to ensure that the vRouter can handle a sudden spike in traffic without dropping packets. The vRouter is running on a KVM hypervisor. What should the engineer configure to guarantee CPU resources for the vRouter during peak demand?

Question 3hardmultiple choice
Study the full SD-WAN breakdown →

A network engineer is deploying a virtual WAN edge device using Cisco SD-WAN on an NFVIS platform. After powering on the VM, the device fails to boot and the NFVIS console shows 'ERROR: No bootable device found'. The engineer verified that the ISO image is correctly uploaded. What is the most likely cause?

Question 4mediummultiple choice
Study the full virtualization explanation →

An engineer is managing a Cisco NFVIS host running multiple virtual network functions (VNFs). The engineer needs to upgrade the NFVIS software to a new version that includes critical security patches. The upgrade process must minimize downtime. Which upgrade method should the engineer use?

Question 5mediummultiple choice
Study the full virtualization explanation →

A company uses Cisco NFVIS to host a virtual ASA (vASA) and a virtual router (vRouter). The engineer notices that the vASA cannot communicate with the vRouter even though both are on the same NFVIS host. The vASA is connected to a bridge network, and the vRouter is connected to a different bridge. What should the engineer do to enable communication between the two VNFs?

Question 6hardmultiple choice
Study the full virtualization explanation →

An engineer is deploying a virtual network function (VNF) on a Cisco NFVIS host. The VNF requires four virtual NICs, each connected to a different network segment. The engineer creates four bridges on NFVIS and attaches each vNIC to a separate bridge. After deployment, the VNF can only communicate on the first bridge. What is the most likely cause?

Question 7hardmultiple choice
Study the full virtualization explanation →

A network engineer is troubleshooting a performance issue with a virtual firewall (vFW) running on a Cisco NFVIS host. The vFW is experiencing high packet loss during peak traffic. The engineer checks the NFVIS monitoring dashboard and sees that the vFW's CPU usage is low, but the host's memory usage is high. What is the most likely cause of the packet loss?

Question 8easymultiple choice
Study the full virtualization explanation →

An engineer is deploying a virtual router (vRouter) on a Cisco NFVIS host. The vRouter needs to advertise routes to a physical router connected to the host's management port. The engineer configures the vRouter with an IP address on the same subnet as the management port. However, the physical router does not receive any routing updates. What should the engineer do to enable route exchange?

Question 9easymultiple choice
Study the full virtualization explanation →

A company is deploying a virtual WAN optimizer (vWAAS) on a Cisco NFVIS host. The engineer needs to ensure that the vWAAS can intercept traffic between two VNFs running on the same host. The traffic currently flows directly between the VNFs without passing through the vWAAS. What should the engineer configure to redirect the traffic?
