How many Refer to the Exhibit Practice Questions questions are on this page?

This page has 5 Refer to the Exhibit Practice Questions scenario questions for the 350-401 exam, each with detailed explanations and wrong-answer analysis.

How should I approach 350-401 scenario questions?

Read the full scenario before looking at the answer options. Identify the constraint or requirement in the scenario, then eliminate options that are generally true but wrong for this specific case. Scenario questions reward careful reading over pattern matching.

Question 2hardmultiple choice

Study the full EIGRP explanation →

A network engineer is configuring EIGRP on a router that connects to a service provider network. The engineer wants to advertise a default route to internal routers. The engineer configures 'ip default-network 0.0.0.0' and redistributes a static default route into EIGRP. However, internal routers are not receiving the default route. The engineer checks the EIGRP topology table and sees the default route with a metric of 1. What is the most likely reason?

A
The engineer used 'ip default-network' which is not supported in EIGRP; instead, 'default-information originate' should be used.
Why wrong: Ly states that 'default-information originate' should be used for EIGRP. That command is for OSPF, not EIGRP. While 'ip default-network' is indeed not supported in EIGRP, the correct method is to redistribute a properly configured static default route, not to use 'default-information originate'. Therefore, this is not the most likely reason.
B
The static default route is not configured correctly; the engineer should use 'ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <next-hop>'.
Correct. The static default route must be correctly configured with a next-hop IP address. If the static route is missing or uses an interface instead of a next-hop, it may not be valid, and the redistribution will not propagate the route to internal routers, despite appearing in the topology table with a metric.
C
The internal routers have a route to the default network with a better metric from another source.
Why wrong: Internal routers are not receiving the default route at all, so they cannot have a route with a better metric from another source. This option describes a scenario where the route is received but not preferred, which does not match the problem.
D
The engineer needs to configure 'eigrp stub' on the router to allow default route advertisement.
Why wrong: Configuring 'eigrp stub' on the router would restrict route advertisement, not allow it. To advertise a default route from a stub router, you would need the 'summary' keyword, but the router is not necessarily a stub. This would not be the most likely reason for the failure.

A
HTTP and HTTPS traffic from 192.168.1.0/24
The ACL permits www and https.
B
ICMP traffic from any source
Why wrong: ICMP is not permitted.
C

Why wrong: FTP is not permitted.
D
SSH traffic from 192.168.1.0/24
Why wrong: SSH is not permitted.

Which three statements about STP topology changes and convergence are true? (Choose three.)

A
A switch that detects a topology change sends a TCN BPDU toward the root bridge.
Correct because the TCN (Topology Change Notification) is sent to inform the root bridge of a change.
B
The root bridge sets the Topology Change (TC) flag in its BPDUs after receiving a TCN.
Correct because the root bridge propagates the TC flag to all switches, triggering MAC table flushing.
C
When the TC flag is set, switches reduce the MAC address aging timer to the forward delay time.
Correct because this flushes stale MAC entries quickly, allowing the network to relearn paths.
D
The Max Age timer is used to flush MAC address entries during a topology change.
Why wrong: Incorrect because Max Age is used to age out BPDU information, not MAC addresses.
E
The forward delay timer determines how long a switch waits before transitioning from listening to learning state.
Why wrong: Incorrect because the forward delay timer applies to both listening and learning states, but it is not directly related to MAC aging during topology changes.
