QUESTIONS AND CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS/ ALREADY GRADED A+ (MOST
RECENT!!), with the strongest emphasis placed on Design and implement advanced enterprise
routing and switching solutions, Analyze and troubleshoot complex network issues using modern
assurance tools, Evaluate and integrate network virtualization, automation and and security
mechanisms. Every item follows the wording style and level of reasoning you meet in the real
paper, and each one is paired with a clear rationale so the correct choice is never a guess. Work
through the set at your own pace, mark the questions that slow you down, then come back to them
until the reasoning feels automatic. Learners who revise this way walk into the exam room
recognising the pattern behind the questions instead of meeting them for the first time. Keep going
- steady, honest practice is what turns a difficult paper into a comfortable pass.
Q1 DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT ADVANCED ENTERPRISE ROUTING AND SWITCHING
SOLUTIONS
A network engineer is designing a multi-site enterprise network with redundant
WAN links. The solution must ensure that voice traffic is prioritized over bulk data
while maintaining sub-50 ms failover. Which combination of technologies best
meets these requirements?
A. IP SLA tracking with static routes and QoS marking at the edge
B. BGP with fast external failover and CoS-based queuing
C. OSPF with bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) and DiffServ QoS CORRECT
D. MPLS L3VPN with traffic engineering and per-hop policing
RATIONALE: OSPF with BFD provides rapid link failure detection (sub-second), while DiffServ
QoS enables per-class prioritization for voice traffic. IP SLA with static routes lacks dynamic
rerouting; BGP fast external failover is less deterministic; MPLS TE focuses on bandwidth
optimization, not necessarily sub-50 ms failover or integrated QoS.

,Q2 DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT ADVANCED ENTERPRISE ROUTING AND SWITCHING
SOLUTIONS
In a VXLAN EVPN fabric, an engineer must ensure that multicast traffic for a
specific tenant is not flooded to all VTEPs. Which control plane mechanism should
be implemented to achieve optimal multicast forwarding?
A. Ingress replication with BGP EVPN inclusive multicast routes
B. Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) with EVPN multicast routes CORRECT
C. Head-end replication using EVPN type 3 routes
D. IGMP snooping with static replication lists
RATIONALE: EVPN supports multicast optimization through PIM-based forwarding or EVPN
multicast routes (type 6/7) that allow selective forwarding to interested VTEPs. Ingress replication
floods to all VTEPs in the VNI, which is inefficient. Head-end replication is a form of ingress
replication. IGMP snooping alone doesn't provide control plane signaling across the fabric.
Q3 DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT ADVANCED ENTERPRISE ROUTING AND SWITCHING
SOLUTIONS
Which statement accurately describes the behavior of Cisco TrustSec when a user
authenticates via 802.1X and is assigned a security group tag (SGT)?
A. The SGT is used to enforce access policies at the data plane using SGACL on the ingress
switch.
B. The SGT is embedded in the MAC address of the endpoint and propagated via CDP.
C. The SGT is propagated across the network via the SXP protocol and used for classification at
the egress. CORRECT
D. The SGT is only used for auditing and does not influence forwarding decisions.
RATIONALE: In TrustSec, SGTs are assigned at authentication and propagated via SXP or
in-line tagging. SGACLs are enforced at the egress based on the source SGT and destination
SGT. The SGT is not embedded in MAC; classification happens at ingress, but enforcement
occurs at egress. It definitely influences forwarding decisions.

, Q4 DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT ADVANCED ENTERPRISE ROUTING AND SWITCHING
SOLUTIONS
A network administrator is troubleshooting an issue where a switch reports a high
number of CRC errors on an interface but no collisions. Which cause is most
likely?
A. Duplex mismatch between the switch and the connected device
B. Faulty cable or connector causing signal degradation CORRECT
C. Excessive cable length exceeding Ethernet specifications
D. Broadcast storm overwhelming the interface buffer
RATIONALE: CRC errors typically indicate physical layer issues such as faulty cabling, bad
connectors, or electromagnetic interference. Duplex mismatch usually causes late collisions and
runts, not CRC errors. Excessive length also leads to late collisions. Broadcast storms don't
cause CRC errors but may cause high utilization.
Q5 DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT ADVANCED ENTERPRISE ROUTING AND SWITCHING
SOLUTIONS
Which QoS mechanism is most effective in preventing TCP global synchronization
in a WAN edge router experiencing congestion?
A. Tail drop with FIFO queuing
B. Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) CORRECT
C. Priority queuing with strict priority
D. Class-based weighted fair queuing (CBWFQ) without drop policy
RATIONALE: WRED randomly drops packets from TCP flows before buffers fill, avoiding
synchronized retransmissions. Tail drop causes global synchronization. Priority queuing doesn't
manage TCP behavior. CBWFQ without WRED still uses tail drop.
