350-701 Practice Question: Which TWO are valid methods for integrating Cisco…
Which TWO are valid methods for integrating Cisco Umbrella with an existing network to provide DNS-layer security?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between methods that provide DNS-layer security (like the roaming client and DNS forwarding via virtual appliances) versus methods that are used for other layers of security (like IPsec VPNs for full traffic inspection or BGP for routing), leading candidates to mistakenly select options that sound plausible but are not designed for DNS-layer integration.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Roaming Security client installed on endpoints.
The Cisco Umbrella Roaming Security client, when installed on endpoints, automatically redirects DNS queries to the Umbrella cloud via a local proxy, providing DNS-layer security without requiring network infrastructure changes. This method ensures that all DNS traffic from the endpoint is filtered by Umbrella's policy, even when the device is off the corporate network.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
SNMP monitoring of DNS queries.
Why it's wrong here
SNMP is for monitoring device health, not integration.
- ✓
Roaming Security client installed on endpoints.
Why this is correct
Client software provides DNS filtering on any network.
- ✗
IPsec VPN tunnel to Umbrella cloud.
Why it's wrong here
IPsec used for network security, but not specifically for DNS filtering.
- ✓
Active Directory integration to forward DNS requests to Umbrella virtual appliances.
Why this is correct
AD-integrated DNS forwarding is a common deployment.
- ✗
BGP peering to route DNS traffic to Umbrella.
Why it's wrong here
BGP is for routing, not DNS application layer.
