350-401 Timed Practice Test 1 — 10 Questions

Question 1

Drag and drop the steps of deploying a CoPP policy on a Cisco IOS-XE router into the correct order, from first to last.

Accepted Answer

Create access-lists for traffic classification. Deploying CoPP requires first defining ACLs to classify traffic, then creating class maps, then a policy map, then applying it to the control plane, and finally verifying the policy.

Question 2

Drag and drop the steps of OSPF summarization at ABR configuration steps into the correct order, from first to last.

Accepted Answer

Identify subnets to summarize. First, identify the subnets to summarize into a single prefix. Then, configure the area range command on the ABR under the OSPF process, specifying the area and the summary prefix. Optionally, set the 'not-advertise' keyword to suppress the summary. Verify the summary route in the OSPF database using 'show ip ospf summary-address'. Finally, check that the summary route appears in the routing table of other routers.

Question 3

Drag and drop the steps of DHCP snooping operation on a Cisco switch into the correct order, from first to last.

Accepted Answer

Enable DHCP snooping globally. DHCP snooping begins by enabling the feature globally with 'ip dhcp snooping'. Then, the feature is enabled on specific VLANs. Trusted interfaces (typically uplinks to DHCP servers) are configured with 'ip dhcp snooping trust'. The switch then intercepts DHCP messages, building the DHCP snooping binding database from valid server responses. Finally, any DHCP server messages received on untrusted interfaces are dropped to prevent rogue server attacks.

Question 4

Drag and drop the steps of YANG data model traversal for interface stats into the correct order, from first to last.

Accepted Answer

Identify YANG module for interface statistics. The process starts with identifying the YANG module, then navigating the tree to the interface container, retrieving statistics, and optionally filtering or using NETCONF/RESTCONF.

Question 5

Drag and drop the steps of using a Python REST API call to retrieve device configuration via Cisco DNA Center into the correct order, from first to last.

Accepted Answer

Authenticate to DNA Center API and get token. The process begins with authenticating to the DNA Center API to obtain a token. Then, the device UUID is retrieved using a GET request to the device list endpoint. Next, a GET request is sent to fetch the running configuration for that device. The JSON response is parsed to extract the configuration text. Finally, the configuration is saved to a local file.

Question 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

Drag and drop each NAPALM getter on the left to its matching returned data on the right.

Accepted Answer

get_facts: Device hostname, vendor, model, OS version, serial number. get_facts returns device facts like hostname and OS version, get_interfaces returns interface details, get_bgp_neighbors returns BGP neighbor information, get_lldp_neighbors returns LLDP neighbor data, and get_environment returns power and fan status.

Question 10

Drag and drop the steps of named ACL modification using sequence numbers into the correct order, from first to last.

Accepted Answer

View current ACL with 'show access-list'. Sequence numbers allow editing named ACLs without re-entering all entries. The correct order is: view current entries, insert a new entry at a specific sequence, then verify the updated ACL.
